Legislators, social workers and a 16-year-old boy who talked a friend out of leaping off a bridge testified at a hearing on bills to examine why children kill themselves and to cre­ ate, school suicide prevention programs. In 1981, the latest year federal figures are available, the suicide demic proportions in this nation," Rep. Gary Ackerman, D-N.Y., told a House education subcommittee. "Half a million children try to kill themselves each year and tragically 5,000 of them succeed." Ackerman, a chief sponsor of leg­ islation to provide federal grants to create suicide prevention centers at schools, said, "Our children are cry­ ing out for help. Without it, more and more of them will die." Fred Wyatt, 16. said he reached out himself last year, held the belt of a distraught friend & nding on a bridge in Washington, DC., and talked the youngster out of leaping to his death. "He was saying. 'No one cares. My parents doift care. My girlfriend doesn't care. Life doesn't care. No one wants to help me. Nothing is going right,'" Wyatt told the panel. Wyatt said, "I told him, You have no priority to think of life as a bunch of hurdles If you trip over one, you can't stop the race.' He started to cry." Wyatt said his buddy sought help and "is now doing fine " Rep. Tom Lantos, D-Calif., said the government needs to do more He said federal funds for suicide prevention "have all but disap­ peared during the past decade " and funds for suicide research are given Bonnie Sweet, Now Sole Owner of the Beauty Box, Celebrates with a Special Offer For You!

Povich I United Press International WASHINGTON -- A Treasury De­ partment official Tuesday requested an increase in the federal debt ceil­ ing to an unprecedented $2 trillion so the government can pay its bills after Oct. 15. Acting Assistant Treasury Secre­ tary John Niehenke told a Senate panel that without the increase in the debt ceiling from the current $1.8 trillion, the government will run out of money "to meet all of its essential obligations when they fall due -- Social Security checks, pay­ roll, chejk^ unemptoy^ieBt, gft$c lefense contract ana principal and itetest on its securities." The battle over raising the debt limit, a necessary step to keep the ;overnment running, may be a pro­ longed and bitter one. Members of ongress unhappy with the high fed­ eral deficits contained in the budget proved in August have vowed to j.--e the debate over the debt limit to \ seek ways to further reduce the deficit. Senate Republican leader Robert >ole of Kansas said shortly after the budget passed that the deficit battle fwouldj emerge again during debate over the debt limit and predicted it would be a real donnybrook. Niehenke said the administration wants the debt ceiling increased to 5$2,078 trillion by the end of Septem- fiber to facilitate the orderly transac- jjtion of Treasury business, including ^issuing of bonds. h But he said the cash-flow situation iwould not become critical until mid- SjOctober. | The bill is likely to come up on the ^Senate floor in the next two weeks. jJThe House already has approved the lebt ceiling increase as part of its udget. Senate Finance Committee Chair- an Robert Packwood, R-Ore., not- the increase in the debt ceiling is ntial to pay for programs al- ady approved. "We're going to spend more then e're going to tax," he said. "The nly way to make it up is to ^borrow." \ But Packwood said there probably fovill be a slew of amendments to the measure as senators try to attach pet bills. Along that line, Sen. Steve Symms, R-Idaho, said he would at- :empt to re-write the budget when lie bill comes to the floor. Symms wants to cyt spending further than allowed in the budget resolution ap- jroved by Congress. "We are heading for a disaster ind now is the time to fix it," Symms said, explaining that the rnrrent debt is costing each Ameri- :an $650 annually, a figure that will *ise to $1,000 by 1990 at current ates. Sen. John Chafee, R-R.I., agreed (pending needs to be cut, but said he time to get tough is before the noney is allocated, not after. He vondered aloud, half seriously, ibout the escalating amounts of the lebt. "What comes after trillion?" he isked Niehenke. } The Treasury man delayed. He consulted with his assistants. J "I'm told it's a quadrillion," he finally replied? Under questioning by Sen. Daniel oynihan, D-N.Y., Niehneke^aid te federal debt was less than $1 . Jlion when President Reagan took iffice, meaning it will have doubled about five years under Reagan.
