Health Insurance Plan A number of questions are being asked now about the Anderson-King bill, which would provide hospitalization insurance for those over 65 through social security payments. “Isn’t the proposed program SOCIALIZED MEDICINE, or at least a big step toward it?” The answer te that q«Mttan is a Hat “no.” SOCIALIZED MEDICINE is a system where doctors work as employes of the government, and the government owns medical facilities. A plan for hospitalization insurance Is not socialized medicine in any way, shape, or form. l Under the health insurance program the government WOULD NOT provide a single medical service. It would only provide basic health insurance for the aged. Hospital and other services would be paid, tn much the same way that Blue Cross or other insurers now pay. The proposed law states SPECIFICALLY that the Government would IN NO WAY control, regulate, or interfere with the practice of medicine or the adminislartion or operation of participating hospitals. “SOCIALIZED MEDICINE is being used as a scare slogan. Health insurance through social security is no more like socialized medicine than are Blue Cross or other insurance plans that pay medical bills. The proposed program is not a wedge for a broad government health program. Any extension of the program would have to be legislated by Congress, and it is not at all likely that Congress will act unless the program is very, very successful. w The U.S. plan would provide basic insurance to a limited group of people with special needs. It is totally different from the British plan, where the government itself provides medical and hospital CARE for the entire population. The U-S. plan provides only the money for those over 65, money that they themselves have contributed through social security payments. There is no interference with the doctor-patient relationship—every patient would have the free choice of his doctor, hospital or nursing home. Editorial Writer Today Dick D. Helhr, Jr. TV PROGRAMS

BILL Dear Editor, Aa a teenage member of a national Civics club, my attention is attracted by the many educational bills proposed by senators and representatives. The most outstanding in my opinion is Hon. James J. Delaney's “Junior G.1.” bill. Why? First of all, because it emphasizes that all-important right that “all” parents should have — to choose their children's school in agreement with their religious beliefs. Secondly, it does away with all injustices that other education bills put on the parents who send their children to God-centered schools. I know that I am not the only one who feels this way. The C. £ F. - Citizens for Education Freedom —■ is strongly against the penalizatioin of non-public school parents. This very letter is entered in a “Letter to the Editor’’ contest sponsored by the C.E.F. Often in my daily prayers I ask God to relieve my parents burden of building and maintaining two school systems. When this is accomplished we will truly have a government “of the people, for the people, by the people.” Yours for educational freedom Margaret Schultz Decatur route 4. Government Rests In Insurance Case INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Oral arguments on motions of acquittal were to be heard today in the trial in U.S. District Court of nine men charged with conspiring to defraud the Army with phony allotment forms for insurance policies. The government rested Its case Monday after bringing to the stand a total of T 2 witnesses, many of them servicemen whose names were used without their knowledge on allotment forms for payment of insurance policies. Servicemen may take out insurance with.private firms and have the in their base pay for the premiums which are then paid by the Army Finance Center at Fort Benjamin Harrison near' here. Government, attorneys have sought to show how the allotment forms were faked by the defendants who usdti the names of the unsuspecting soldiers and then sent the forms to the finance center. The processing was arranged so that the pay deductions were not made, keeping the servicemen from knowing insurance had been taken out in their names. As a result, the Army paid out some 224.000 in premiums before the plot was uncovered early last year, according to U.S. Attorney Richard P. Stein. Later the insurance companies involved paid the Army for its loss. The defendants included insurance salesmen and Army personnel who worked together in obtaining the names of the soldiers and placing them on the allotment forms. Two insurance company executives Monday identified several of the defendants as having received commissions on the fraudulent policies. The defendants allegedly split up tiie commissions paid to the insurance salesmen, and government attorneys said the total loot may run Into the thousands of dollars. Monday’s witnesses were Max Greer, formerly with the Rocky Mountain Life Insurance Co., Albuquerque, N.M., and Edward Davis of the National Security Insurance Co., Elba, Ala. Twenty-five persons were indicted In the scheme allegedly masterminded by Charles Berling, Indianapolis, a former top employe of the Army Finance Center. He was one of the nine pleading Innocent. One Is at large, and the rest have pleaded guilty. Several of those pleading guilty have testified that the forms, supposedly filed from Fort Dix, N.J., and Fort Jackson, S.C., were actually made out in a motel here in 1960. One of the defendants who pleaded guilty and then testified for the government said last week he hoped to supplement his Army pay with the profits from the scheme to finance a college education.

Flood Threats Are Eased In Midwest Area By United Presi International Drought threatened parts of the East Coast with water shortages and possible forest fires today. Dikes were bolstered along rivers in the Midwest and flood threats took a holiday, Northern New Jersey was expecting its worst water shortage in 18 yean this summer unless it got some rain. The reservoir in North Passaic, N.J., was reported only two-thirds full. Officials in Trenton, N.J., said tile chances of forest or brush fires would increase if the drought continued. New Jersey had 18 brush fires during the weekend. lowa's flood threats eased today, but more high water was expected later this week with continued snow melting in the northern watersheds. At Des Moines, lowa, the Des Moines and Raccoon rivers went out of their banks Monday and forced 10 streets and one school to be closed. Flood-fighters won their battle with the Big Sioux River at Sioux City and evacuated families moved back into their homes. An investigation was suggested by the governors of lowa and South Dakota into the collapse Monday of a 2200,000 interstate twin-span bridge at Sioux City. The bridge collapsed at the crest of the flood. Most of the nation enjoyed fair weather late Monday, but there were snow flurries in Kentucky, West Virginia and northern New York state. Dispute Over Acceptance Os Rail Findings CHICAGO (UPD — A dispute over acceptance of presidential commission findings as a basis for negotiations threatened today to sidetrack a nationwide conference of company and union officials on railroad work rules. The disagreement Monday did not derail the talks, which were to resume late this afternoon, but officials of five operating brotherhoods were adamant against accepting the commission report as a framework for the talks. J.E. Wolfe, head of the bargaining team for the railroads, said the carriers were willing to disr cuss “adjustments within the presidential report” but would refuse to “recede from the principles set forth” in it The presidential fact finding commission proposed that the jobs of up to 45,000 firemen employed on diesel locomotives used for switching and yard work be eliminated. It also suggested the railroads negotiate major changes in work scheduules and wage structres with the five unions — the engineers, firemen, conductors, trainmen and switchmen. Roy E. Davidson, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, said, “We are as far apart as the poles at this timfc.” He called the commission report "vicious and obnoxious.” Wolfe insisted the commission findings were binding “in a moral sense” on both unions and companies. Neutrals Suggest Third Party Named s GENEVA (UPD — Neutrals at the general disarmament conference suggested today th at the United States, Britain and Russia let a third party settle their disputes about possible secret testing of atomic weapons. But British Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Joseph Godber said the neutrals’ proposal would work only if the Soviet Union permitted some inspection of its territory by others. “If the Soviet Union continues to reject international inspection,” Godber told the 17-nation disarmament conference, "it is highly improbable that any progress can be made.” The United Arab Republic, Mexico and Brazil joined in the viewpoint of four other neutrals who spoke Monday. They argued that although the United States and Britain must accept less international inspection of Soviet territory than they now demand, Russia will have to agree to some form of international inspection or arbitration in order to create international confidence and trust. The three neutrals who spoke today said th«> • were .opposed to nuclear testing anywhere at any time. The Communist bloc; promptly picked this up to demand that the United States refrain from testing nuclear weapons as long as test ban talks continue here.

(UPDAbout 300 police intensified a search today for five convicts who escaped from San Quentin Prison in the biggest breakout in the history of the troubled California state institution. Twenty - three p rison guards, aided by units of the California highway patrol and Marin County sheriffs office, centered the search in the suburban residential area of Terra Linda five miles north of the prison. Authorities said a housewife reported Monday afternon that she saw five men walking over a hill near her home. •Die convicts scaled the prison wall with a ladder early Monday while working the overnight shift in the textile mill. The five minimum security prisoners were believed to be carrying screw drivers or self-made knives. They were identified as James Spatola, 31, and James Dußois, 29, both serving five years to life for first degree robbery; Kenneth E. Adams, 31, six months to five years as a parole violator; John Rucker, 31, six months to 10 years for grand theft; and Graham Roaro, 27, six months to 15 years for burglary. All are white. Authorizes Pay Hike To Highway Workers INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — State Budget Director Don Hatchett, with the approval of Governor Welsh, today authorized expenditure of $400,000 annually as pay hikes for about 2,500 state highway employes. The increase amounts to 10 cents an hour and will go to maintenance, traffic and garage workers. The State Highway Commission had authorized the increase last Friday, effective April 1. Under the plan, a general foreman now getting $1.75 an hour would get $1.85, a patrolman now getting $1.50 would get $1.60, and a laborer would go up to $1.45 an hour. Highest hourly pay in the classifications getting a raise are shop foremen, some of whom will get up to $2.35 an hour under the new plan. Candidates Do Not Want Hoffa Support DETROIT (UPD — Michigan’s Democratic Gov. John B. Swainson and George Romney, the governor’s likely R epublican opponent this fall, have found common ground — neither wants the political support of Teamster Boss James R. Hoffa. Hoffa could become the most nettlesome issue of the campaign as far as Swainson and Romney are concerned. The peppery Teamsters’ leader has not flatly endorsed either man but he said “right now" Swainson is his personal choice. The governor, seeking his secone term, shuddered at the prospect of having Hoffa on his side. Romney, a newcomer to politics, said Hoffa is unwelcome in his camp. Hoffa touched off formal disavowals of his support by both men after a Detroit speech to the Teamsters’ political arm, DRIVE Sunday night. Swainson said he was surprised at Hoffa’s lukewarm endorsement. “I am surprised because of Mr. Hoffa’s close association with the Republican party and his long history of active support of Republican candidates. He has, in fact, opposed me in my campaigns for public office,” the governor said. “I have not sought, nor do I seek, Mr. Hoffa’s endorsement. If it is offered, I shall reject it,” Swainson said. Romney, who stepped down two months ago as president of American Motors Corp, to seek elective office, said, "I’m happy he (Hoffa) didn’t endorse me.” .

Father, Son Indicted For Stock Dealing NEW YORK (UPD — Almost 11 months ago, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) expelled Gerardo A. Re, 65, and his son, Gerald F., 39, from the list of registered stockbrokers and from the American Stock Exchange where they operated. Today the father-and-son team of broker-specialists is under federal indictment on charges arising from some of their dealings which the SEC had under scrutiny last May. The conspiracy was said to have cost the public $5 million. The SEC’s action against the Res led to an SEC investigation which gradually broadened to include the entire securities exchange field In the United States; dealings on exchanges, over-the-counter and related Seven Indicted A federal grand jury here indicted the Res and five others on charges of conspiring to use their jobs as stock specialists to manipulate the price of unregistered Swann-Finch Oil Corp, stock, for the benefit of Lowell M. Birrell, a financial figure who is a fugitive in Brazil from charges of stock fraud and income tax evasion here. Named in the indictment with the Res and Birrell were Charles A. Casagrande, also known as Charles A. Grande; Ely Batkin, former head of a defunct New York City brokerage firm; Jacob Yaffe, a former stock broker, and Mrs. Verna Skoglund, former secretary to Birrell. The Res, according to U.S. attorney Robert M. Morgenthau, are charged with having used their position as specialists in the Swann-Finch stock to control its price on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) and to distribute the Birrell holdings publicly. Other sources said they were accused of taking considerations from Birrell for their activities in manipulating the stock. Issue Criminal Complaint On June 3, 1957, the Res and others were enjoined by federal court order from distributing unregistered Swann-Finch stock in violation of the SEC Act. In February, 1960, the AMEX took action which led to their expulsion from the exchange. Last May 25. the Justice Department issued a criinal complaint charging them with conspiring to violate federal laws by undertaking an illegal brokerage transaction. Morgenthau explained that i n the current proceedings, for which April 10 was set for pleas, the Res were accused of getting rid

of about 600,000 shares of stock for Birrell through their own accounts and through accounts under other names,' which they opened and managed. Birrell, it was charged, arranged for issuance of more than 2.5 m illion shares of common stock, and arranged to use about 1,750,000 shares tor public distribution and as collateral for loans. Proposes Conference On Radio Stations CHICAGO (UPD — Chairman Newton Minow of the Federal Communications Commission, today proposed a “shirtsleeves working conference" on the future of radio stations in the .United States. In a speech at the National Association of Broadcasters annual meeting here, Minow said conferences like those conducted by then commerce secretary Herbert Hoo-_ ver in the 1920 s were needed because an “intensive search for answers is overdue and a search for policies that conform to the answers is imperative.” He suggested that such a conference might attempt to determine: —Whether issuance of new AM broadcasting licenses s hould be halted “while we study the inflation on our airwaves.” —Whether engineering standards for AM stations should be tightened. —Whether mergers and deletion of stations should be encouraged “to permit operation based on sounder engineering standards.” —Whether networks should be permitted to increase the number of stations owned beyond the present FCC limit of seven to encourage expansion of their news gathering operations. —What should be done about the number of commercials. Minow warned the broadcasters: “If you are unable to achieve self-discipline, we may have to adopt a rule on commercials which does apply to everyone.” He suggested that the present NAB code might provide guidelines for such regulation. Minow defended the FCC plan for a series of local television hearings, the first of which was begun in Chicago last month. “It’s about time the public had a chance to express its comments and opinions,” he said. Monday former Florida Gov. Leroy Collins, president of the NAB, said the FCC’s local television hearings were “ill-advised, unfair and unwarranted.” H Collins warned that If broadcasters are to live “under the threat of public threshing” it will discourage them from doing their best and encourage them merely to "be acceptable,” getting by with the “least possible dissension.” _______
