Borrowing Limit Likely to Rise Again Says Connally
Secretary Connally told the House Ways and Means Committee that the national debt ceiling must be raised by the biggest postwar increase, to 480 billion dollars, about a year from now. He cited deficits, weaker than forecast 1971 indicators, and falling tax collections as reasons for the climb. He and Shultz defended the 1973 budget, despite a projected 25.5 billion deficit, as necessary to stimulate the economy toward eventual balance. Congress opened hearings on the proposed debt ceiling hike.

Disqualification of Karl Schranz Stuns Ski World
SAPPORO AP Austrian ski officials prepared to appeal the disqualification of Karl Schranz Austria's former world champion from the 1972 Winter Games for allowing his name to be used commercially. French officials condemned the ruling and considered withdrawing teams if more skiers were disqualified. Schranz earned an estimated 40 000 to 50 000 dollars yearly from ski connections, a point he argued reflected athletes’ general subsidies. He criticized the principle behind the punishment and questioned Avery Brundage's stance on Olympic payments.

Bank Heist by Guerrillas Tops Argentine History
In Buenos Aires police hunted 14 guerrillas linked to the eight hour raid on the National Development Bank. The Trotskyist People's Revolutionary Army claimed responsibility, saying they stole about $450,000 to fund their revolutionary war. The gang used two bank workers to enter, trapped staff, and blasted a vault wall with chisels and a torch. They planted bomb packages, sprayed slogans, and fled before dawn.
