Tight security: Americans, Russians, Austrians plan safety measures for summit

VIENNA, Austria (AP) - Viennese who want to see Jimmy Carter and Leonid I. Brezhnev during their summit visit this weekend should turn on their TV sets. The security screen is going to be very tight. The Austrian director general for public security, Robert Danziger, said 1,500 agents will be working during the four-day meeting to keep the U S. and Soviet presidents safe. But a news report said 6,000 policemen. in and out of uniform, will guard the two leaders. They will be reinforced by armed Soviet and American security men. Informed sources said up to

Struggle ahead Carter's health-care program critisized by key Democrats

WASHINGTON (AP) President Carter’s proposal to limit a family's annual health-care bill to $2,500 appears destined for an election-year congressional struggle with overtones of presidential politics. Influential Democrats who would guide Health insurance legislation are, for the most part, cautiously critical of the latest in Carter's national health insurance plans. Most appeared unwilling to pick a direct light with the president over Healthcare, as his proposal is called. But Massachusetts Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, who introduced his own version of national health insurance last month, labeled Carter’s plan “inflationary and too inequitable." “The bottom line is ...we can’t afford it," Kennedy told a news conference. Carter’s limited health care plan would combine Medicare and state-run Medicaid plans for the poor in a program estimated to cost $22 billion to $25 billion in 1983. the first year it would be in effect. The bulk ot that would go for the federal takeover of Medicaid plans. Carter’s plan would also: Protect everyone against the costs ol catastrophic illness by ending limits on Medicare payments and requiring private health insurance plans to limit a family’s liability for hospital

600 American and Soviet officials, advisers and aides would accompany or precede the two presidents. The Russians, one newspaper reported, tried unsuccessfully to book the entire Imperial Hotel, their headquarters during the postwar occupation of the city. The hotel said it couldn’t cancel long-standing reservations for guests for the Vienna Music Festival. Brezhnev will stay at the Soviet Embassy near the center of the city. Students at a nearby elementary school were told to stay home Friday and Saturday in order not to interfere with the security precautions.

Carter, his wife and their daughter Amy will stay at the home of the U.S. ambassador in the Hietzing district, in the southwest part of the city near the Schoenbrunn Palace.

Sanction support doubles

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Carter’s chances of maintaining trade sanctions against Zimbabwe Rhodesia are improving, despite a Senate call for ending the 14-year old embargo, White House officials say. Administration lobbyists say the president has doubled Senate support for his position on the newly elected black majority government in that southern

What was that, Mr. President?

WASHINGTON (AP) - If Sen. Edward M. Kennedy makes a run for the 1980 Democratic presidential nomination, President Carter is quoted as saying he will “whip his ass.” Two congressmen who attended a White House dinner earlier this week said Tuesday night that Carter made the remark after being asked about a possible challenge by Kennedy. Reps. William Brodhead, DMich., and Thomas Downey, DN.Y., said they both heard Carter reply, in answer to the

The elderly and disabled would not have to pay more than half that, or $1,250. —Guarantee free prenatal care and delivery to all pregnant women, regardless of what plan covers them. Their children would have free care for the first year. - Require employers to pay at least 75 percent of all health insurance premiums. Employees or their unions could bargain with individual companies to increase ttyit share. As Carter outlined his limited approach, he was flanked by several long-time congressional backers of a variety of health insurance plans including Reps James Gorman, D-Calif., and Charles Rangle, D-N.Y., the two who will introduce Carter’s plan in the House. Rangle, chairman of one of two heallh subcommittees that will consider the plan, said "it falls short of what many of us wanted," although adding that he was pleased the administration was finally sending its long-awaited legislation to Capitol Hill. The chairman of the House Commerce health subcommittee, Rep. Henry A. VVaxman, I) Calif., had a mixed reaction. "While the president’s proposal falls short of meeting many of my ma jor concerns,” Waxman said, “it’s a program which demonstrates a commitment to do more than simply provide

The Senate voted 52-41 Tuesday night to kill an effort to extend the trade embargo through Dec. 1, and perhaps longer.

And they said the vote shows a significant improvement in the president’s position since the Senate went on record in a 75-19 vote three weeks ago to urge Carter to lift the trade embargo. “We came in expecting to get no more than 30 votes and we broke 40,” a White House lobbyist said.

quoted him as saying, "I feel good. I’m ready.” Downey said the president then was asked about Kennedy. Brodhead said he was “startled” by the remark. “I thought my ears were deceiving me,” he said. “(I said) excuse me Mr. President, what did you say? And Carter replied, ‘lf Kennedy runs, I’ll whip his ass ’” Asked what happened after that, Brodhead replied: “Nothing. I just w< nt on with my dinner. I didn’t Know what to say.”

Abraham Ribicoff, D-Conn., echoed that call, saying: “It is essential that we submerge personalities for the common good There is enough credi ttogo a round. ” Kansas Sen. Bob Dole, a candidate for the Republican presi dential nomination, branded Carter’s plan an attempt to “federalize” the nation’s health care system. Likewise, Sen. Richard S. Schweiker, R-Pa., labeled the proposal a “gigantic step” toward increased federal spending and government regulation. But Sen. Jacob K. Javits, RN.Y., said that while Cartels program is not perfect, it sets the stage for Congress to pul national health insurance at the top of the agenda. Kennedy, chairman of the Senate Human Resource health subcommittee, which also will handle the issue, did not appear at Carter’s White House briefing on the new legislation. At his own news conference a few hours later, Kennedy said “The president’s plan may well become the straw that breaks the back of the American health care system. ” Kennedy s plan would insure everyone against most health care costs and impose strong cost controls on both hospitals and physicians.

Gas dealer faces gouging charges but keeps on pumping

BOSTON (AP) He’s been criticized, ordered, sued and now arrested but Glenn Martin Heller keeps on pumping some of the nation’s most expensive gasoline. The bearded and bespectacled gas dealer, whose 24-hour pumps doled out their commodity for as much as $1.56.9 a gallon, appeared in federal court Tuesday to face pricegouging charges. Heller pleaded innocent before a U.S. magistrate to "unlawfully, knowingly and willfully” selling gasoline for more than the federal price limit making 55 cents profit on every gallon, prosecutors said. The 30-year-old Heller was released on SIO,OOO bail for a probable cause hearing June 29. If convicted he faces up to a year in prison and a SIO,OOO fine. But today his tiny Gulf station at the foot of historic Beacon Hill was still pumping unleaded gasoline for $1.56.9 a gallon, a price posted an hour before his arrest by federal marshals Tuesday. "The thing I can’t believe is why people are buying the gas," said Margaret Sullivan, 29. of Beacon Hill. “We couldn’t even fill up our bike tires there Sunday because they charge for air.” It costs 25 cents to fill up bicycle tires and 50 cents for car tires at Beacon Hill Gulf, one of the few gas stations in downtown Boston open around the clock. Heller’s arrest Tuesday based on a complaint against his June 7 price of $1.42.9 for unleaded and $1.39.9 for regular was not the first lime his gas prices have gotten him in hot water. The Department of Energy has ordered him several times since December to roll back his prices and refund some SBO,OOO in over charges to customers. Heller has appealed each order and faces SIO,OOO a day in fines if he loses The city sued Heller last week and has asked for triple damages for overcharges.
