Sunday, May 5, 1946 National Debt, Like the Poor, Ever With Us ASHINGTON, May 4 (AP)— W Don't figure on seeing the national debt paid off in full. Chances of that happening in the lifetime of anyone old enough to read this are virtually zero, govern- ment men say. It would be a mam- d moth historical upset. The debt has been reduced sev- eral billion dollars recently and it'll be reduced further in the next couple of months—but only out of unneeded cash the government got earlier by borrowing. Unless the government's income and spending reverse their roles of recent years and start providing surpluses, debt reductions will stop soon with exhaustion of the un- needed borrowed funds. Then debt increases will start again.
