US Senate
Sends Ike Bill
Raising Debt
WASHINGTON, — UP) —
The Senate last night passed
and sent to President Eisen
hower the bill he asked rais
ing the federal debt ceiling by
five billion dollars.
The limit is now 275 billion dol
lars, a ceiling which the adminis
tration is approaching.
The 280 billion limit will be in
effect through June 30, 1959. This
is the fourth time Congress has
boosted the limit temporarily at
Eisenhower’s request.
Sen. Byrd (D-Va), chairman of
the Senate Finance Committee ar
gued without success the limit
should be held to 278 billion dol
lars.
However, Sen. Kerr (D-Okla),
who is due to succeed Byrd as
chaii’man if the Virginian carries
out his plan to retire, said Secre-
try of the Treasury Anderson
had made “a complete justifica
tion” for the full five billion in
crease.
Senate passage came by voice
vote after five hours debate. The
House passed the measure 328-71
Jan. 23.

the past ten years, Texas Electric Service Company has
increased its power generating capability to more than
seven times that of 1947, has constructed more than
1100 miles of high voltage' transmission lines and‘2800
miles of distribution lines, along with related substation
and other facilities, more than doubled the number
of employees, and serves more than twice as many
customers.
And the company is continuing to build its organization
as it plans and constructs new electric transmission and
distribution facilities to serve our rapidly developing
area. New career opportunities are opening for quali
fied men and women.
Burl Hulsey, Texas A&M ’39, is superin
tendent of transmission of Texas Electric
Service Company, supervising the operation

Voluntary for Students
Insurance Plan Approved
By A&M Board of Directors
By RON EASLEY
A voluntary student accident in
surance program to supplement the
regular health program at A&M
was approved Saturday by the
Board of Directors.
The program, submitted by a
committee of five student and five
staff members, would give the stu
dents specific coverage on all med
ical treatment for accidents not
covei’ed by the ten-dollar medical
fee.
The committee has not decided
whether to place the plan before
the students for approval. If ap
proved this spring, the program
will go into effect next fall.
The insurance company handling
the policy would be determined by
bids.
Another insurance plan, which
would have been compulsory, was
rejected by the students Feb. 14,
1957. Last summer the board ap
pointed the ten-man committee to
study the possibilities of another
plan.
Student members of the commit
tee were James W. Brady, Bobby
Jack Melson, John Hofmann, Ray
ford Anthony and Lester Berry.
Staff members of the committee
were R. S. Nolen, Walter F. Ber-
ndt, W. S. Penberthy, Dr. Charles
Lyons and John Hill.
Only students who have paid
their medical fees would be eligible
for the insurance. Under the plan
the student would be covered for
approximately 12 months from the
date of issuance.
Coverage for returning students
would begin three days prior to
registration, and student could reg
ister for the policy for a period of

two weeks after registration. Since
freshmen arrive on the campus a
week before returning students
their coverage would include new
student week.
The plan would provide for the
student’s protection at school and
while traveling during school or
vacation periods, including the
summer vacation period.
All benefits in the plan will be
based on a principal of $1,000.
Up to a sum of $1,000, all hos
pital expenses would be paid, in
cluding hospital room and board,
physician’s or surgeon’s fees and
miscellaneous hospital expenses,
such as nurses, drugs, X-rays, etc.,
incurred within 26 weeks after the
date of the accident. It would not
be necessary for the student to be
hospitalized to receive the bene
fits.
The insurance company must
guarantee,not to change the prem
ium for a period of two years after
the date of the policy is issued.
After this period they would be al
lowed to change the rates. The
policy cannot be cancelled by the
insurer for a period of two years,
the committees also stipulated.
STREET PLANS
(Cont. from page 1)
will be conducted at the meeting
except formulating the letter.
Other business conducted by the
council included the council’s order
of a general municipal election set
for April 1.
At last night’s meeting, Lang
ford announced for reelection to his
post as mayor and Joe Sorrels and
A. P. Boyett announced for anoth
er term as councilmen. Marion
Pugh is the third councilman whose
term expires this year.
In making the application for an
other term, Langford said, “Wo
feel this council owes an obligation
to the people of College Station
which we have not fulfilled and
we will seek a new term if the
people want us.”
All who wish to file for one of
the posts must do so before next
Sunday, 30 days prior to the
election.
Langford especially urged citi
zens to turn out for this election.
“vote the way you please” he
said, “but vote.”
