Senate kills debt ceiling bill
Page 12
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Senate yesterday defeated debt ceiling legislation 46-14, delaying the final equipment of Congress for another day.
The reversal of what had seemed to be an approach towards the final gavel on the 98th Congress came shortly after midnight.
Senate Republican leader Howard Baker immediately recessed the Senate until 11 tomorrow morning and began getting members who already had left the city back to Washington.
The House was in recess; most of its members already were out of
town and were expecting a routine final adjournment.
The $1.82 trillion debt ceiling bill had been help up earlier for resolution of a minor tax bill, but that effort was unsatisfactory, satisfactorily earlier in the evening.
THE DEFEAT APPARED to be another verse in the longstanding Democratic-Republican game of legislative chicken that has scuttled other debt bills. Democrats refuse to vote for a debt ceiling increase unless enough Republicans do the same
A Senate leadership source said, "If on the last vote you have you're going to play games, we'll play a game." A source said, "We'll see what happens."
Assistant Senate Republican
leader Ted Stevens of Alaska told reporters that planes were being dispatched to fly missing senators to tomorrow's session.
He recalled a similar situation when Democrats outnumbered Republicans and said, "This time the minority underdated the feelings of the ultra-conservatives. This is a real problem now. We're sending out some airplanes to bring some people back."
Democratic and Republican leaders of the House, in recess and awaiting Senate action, appeared so eager to leave that they made the traditional session-ending call to President Reagan early.
Czechoslovak gains Nobel Prize
By United Press International
STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Czechoslovak writer Jaroslav Seifert, a little known poet whose works were banned for 10 years after he denounced the Soviet invasion of his homeland, yesterday won the 1984 Nobel Prize in literature.
Seifert, 83, was the first Czechsoklav writer ever to win the prestigious Nobel literature prize. His book The Swedish Academy since 1901
The Academy lauded Seifert "for his poetry which, endowed with freshness, sensuality and rich inventiveness, provides a liberating image of the indomitable spirit and versatility of man."
His poetry has been described as rhythmically melodious verse, akin to folk songs and characterized by a profoundly reflective lyricism. Much of it deals with traditional family values, reenacting such things as motherhood and the warm smells of the kitchen.
SIEFERT RECEIVED THE news in a Prague hospital, where he has been undergoing treatment and aliment and diabetes since Oct. 6.
"At first he didn't quite understand, but he's very old and nothing surprises him much any more. But he was very, very
happy, "Ulla Kayling, the Swedish diplomat who gave Seifert the news at a bedside champagne celebration. She said he would probably be too weak to attend the Dec. 10 award ceremony.
The poet was a prominent figure during the "Prague Spring" in 1968, a brief period of liberalization that saw a flowering of arts, literature and film.
His works were banned after he condemned the Aug. 21, 1968 Soviet invasion that crushed the Czech liberalization, telling the nation in a broadcast, "We do not want to live in bondage and therefore we shall not live in bondage."
