WASHINGTON UPI — The Johnson administration, back asking Congress for another hike in the debt limit, was in for some sharp questioning today on how much the war is going to cost and how the bill will be paid. Members of the House Ways & Means Committee were par-

ticularly interested in more information about weekend reports of a $5 billion boost in war spending and an announced decision to hold up on the proposed income tax surcharge. Treasury Secretary Henry H. Fowler, the leadoff witness, was presenting the administration’s second request this year for an

increase in the debt ceiling. Fowler let out the word Saturday that the administration is no longer shooting for a July 1 effective date for its proposed 6 per cent income tax surcharge. But he added, in remarks to members of the Business Council meeting at Hot Springs, Va., that no later

date had been decided on. Friday, the council released a report saying unnamed government officials had forecast the Vietnam war’s cost would be $5 billion more in fiscal 1968 than the administration’s previous estimate of $21 billion. Fowler told reporters he had “no information” on such a

forecast, imd dismissed it as “conjecture.” President Johnson proposed a 1968 administrative budget deficit of $8.1 billion, without the tax increase this deficit would soar to a record $14.6 billion plus any excess over the budget

GENEVA UPI — Bargaining down to the deadline, Kennedy round negotiators today made a final effort to cut tariffs within the free world. A noon (7 a. m. EDT) meeting of the steering committee, consisting of the eight major nations involved, was called and no settlement of the critical issues was expected from bargainers before then. A deadline previously set for midnight passed with negotiators still arguing over pet issues. The issues still under contest included a food aid program, chemicals, steel and various agricultural products.

Japan was the lone holdout on the food aid program. Common Market nations finally agreed to a United States demand that a food aid program for the world be included in the final agreement. President Johnson and Secretary of State Dean Rusk were reported to have sent messages to Japan urging the Japanese to relent on the program. The price of hard winter wheat, upon which all other cereal prices are based, was agreed upon by all nations at $1.73 per bushel. The Common Market and the United States settled on the amount of wheat

to go into the food aid program at 4.5 million tons annually. The European nations remained insistent, however, they would agree to cut duties on certain chemicals by 20 per cent. The United States wanted tariffs on chemicals, mainly dyes, cut by 30 per cent. On the U. S. side, American negotiators were holding out for an increased share of the Common Market trade for certain American farm produce, especially tobacco and fruit juices. Still another hitch in a complete agreement was a dispute between Britain and Common Market nations over steel du-

ties. The Kennedy round, so-called because it was inaugurated by the late President Kennedy, does not promise a sudden reduction of prices in stores.
