The House approved raising the national debt ceiling from 373 to 395 billion dollars by a vote of 236 to 127. Antiwar lawmakers failed to block the measure, arguing the debt fuels the Indochina war and risks Wall Street stability and welfare programs. Rep. Wilbur Mills criticized delays on the debt measure.
