I Ceiling Red message on debt in Senate kept secret WASHINGTON (AP) A national debt ceiling bill that scraped through the House by the narrowest possible margin is headed for a Senate that may try to turn it into a vehicle for massive tax cuts and reforms. The bill to increase the Treasury's borrowing authority by $19.3 billion, to a total of $495 billion, was put to a House roll call Thursday that ended 191 to 190. Speaker Carl Albert, who votes only when the House is deadlocked, cast the deciding ballot. It was the first time since 1957 a speaker had cast, from his presiding chair, a straight tiebreaking vote. Twice since then speakers have voted in special situations requiring two-thirds.
Votes on the debt ceiling often are taken as referenda on the incumbent administration's economic policies, and Democrats were quick to point out that Republicans Thursday voted 93 to 75 against the increase, while Democrats voted 116 to 97 for it. Chairman Wilbur D. Mills, D- of the Ways and Means Committee that handled the bill, said the close vote showed widespread unhappiness with Nixon's handling of the economy. He had argued that the House had no choice but to pass the bill, reduced by his committee from a $505 billion administration request. Unless it is finally enacted by June 30, the debt ceiling will drop about $75 billion below the actual debt.
In the Senate, advocates of tax cuts and tax reform have been waiting for an opportunity to attach their proposals to a House-passed bill. A minor tariff bill had been picked for the vehicle, but Senate sources said it now is likely the debt ceiling bill, on which Congress must act, will be used instead. Likely to be offered as amendments are a proposal to slash taxes by raising the personal exemption from $750 to $825, or, alternatively, allowing taxpayers a $190 credit; to make special payments up to $400 a year to the working poor; and to close a variety of alleged loopholes. The House committee, working on its own version of tax reform, is not bound to accept any of these, so the debt ceiling bill may be in dispute until close to its deadline.

He said he would favor extending it to Oceanside and Escondido where the large population centers are. Barron said he felt planned growth is necessary to prevent "more Mira Mesas." Problems occurred in Mira Mesa when the population grew to 24,000 people before schools, roads, shopping centers and churches were built. The same thing could occur in other parts of the county if long-range planning isn't done, Barron said.

Brown Jr. in front of a battery of television cameras for a fierce no-rules debate which another Democratic candidate for governor rebuked as unseemly.
And in the Republican race for governor, Ed Reinecke campaigned hard on a law and order theme, while Houston Flournoy softed steered his frontrunning campaign on a course far away from conflict and controversy. With voting just 11 days away, the Democratic campaign for governor heated up dramatically. But the Republican race continued to cool as Flournoy carefully protected his newly won lead and Reinecke's financially starved campaign only sputtered. Two otherwise routine press conferences Thursday provided the ingredients for the most explosive and dramatic event of the long 1974 Democratic campaign for governor. The result was a loud and sometimes rude 45-minute debate and name-calling contest between Brown and Moretti, the two leading candidates in the Democratic primary.
San Francisco Mayor Joseph Alioto, who has been calling repeatedly for three-way debates with Brown and Moretti, criticized the Brown-Moretti confrontation as "unseemly and so much adolescence. I weep for the Democratic party for such unseemly conduct." It started when Moretti, the Assembly speaker, reserved a press conference room in the state Capitol for a conference in which he criticized the frontrunning Brown for backing out of a June 2 televised debate in Stockton with Alioto and Moretti. Secretary of State Brown had reserved the same room for one-half hour later for a press conference on lobbyist spending. When a reporter asked Moretti why he didn't wait and take the debate issue up with Brown in person, Moretti quickly seized the opportunity. He was waiting on the platform in front of 30 reporters and five television cameras when Brown entered 10 minutes later.

HELLER FORD ANNOUNCES WASHINGTON (UPI) President Nixon got a personal message Thursday from St Soviet leader Leonid I. Brezhnev, but the White House is keeping the contents secret -indicating a possible connection with the summit conference planned in Moscow later next month. Brezhnev's message was delivered by B.N. Ponomarov, head of an eight-member delegation of Soviet parliamentarians who spent 45 minutes talking with the President in his Oval Office. Also present at the meeting was Anatoly F.
Dobrynin, the Soviet ambassador to the United States. Presidential Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler said Ponomarov gave the message to Nixon at a separate 20-minute session alone with the President, but Ziegler declined to give any clue to the contents on grounds that the message was "personal and private." Nixon is said to be planning to go to Moscow about June 21st to begin his third round of summit talks with Brezhnev in as many years, but the White House has not provided any firm information about the trip yet, and Nixon has been urged by some members of Congress to put off the visit until the impeachment proceedings are completed. Deputy Press Secretary Gerald L. Warren, speaking to reporters while Nixon and the Russians were conferring Thursday, said he saw no reason to think the President would be in a weak negotiating position if he meets Brezhnev while the House impeachment proceedings are still under way.
For one thing, he said, members of Congress still are giving Nixon "strong bipartisan support for his foreign policy and peace making efforts." Before greeting the Russian parlimentarians, Nixon had breakfast with chairman Russell Long, of the Senate Finance Committee, and Sen. Wallace Bennett of Utah, the panel's ranking Republican, in an effort to push for early Senate approval of trade reform legislation that would give the Soviet Union preferential trade status.
