Washington - Why is President Kennedy so interested in the hospital bills ef-pWer people? The answer is tightly tied to their low incomes and the likelihood that they’ll need hospitalisation Which many of them can’t afford. Here’s how the President explained his interest last February in a special message to Congress: “A proud and resourceful Nation can no longer ask its older people to live in constant fear of A serious illness for which adequate funds are not available. We owe them the right to dignity in sickness as well as in health. “We eon achieve this by adding health insurance—primarily hospitalisation insurance—to our successful social security system. ... We urgently need this legislation-add we need it now." The facts surrounding the health and financial condition of most of today’s nearly 18 million people 65 or older leave no room to doubt their need for help with their medical problems. First, the average couple 65 or older has an income of less than SSO a week; the average older person living alone has only about S2O a week and the average older person living with relatives has a weekly income of less than $9. And, a very high percentage of the aged have practically no assets

Flood Wafers Are Receding In Nebraska ASHLAND, Neb. (UPI) — Flood waters receded on Nebraska farmlands today despite fresh downpours of up to five inches. Three persons were dead, thousands upon thousands ot acres were under water and damage ran in the millions of dollars from the cloudburst-triggered floods. Aa unofficial five inches of rain fell Tuesday north of Polk, Neb. Three and a half inches fell at Aurora and one and a half inches at York. Two to three inches fell Tuesday night on the headwater? at Logan Creek southeastward tI. Wakefield and Pender, Neb. More than 150 sections — 96,000 acres were inundated in Saum ders county in southeastern Nebraska atone. Twelve Ashland families and six farm families were evacuated from thein homes Tuesday. Waters of the Big Blue River surged through the streets of Beatrice, Neb., five feet deep. Court Street, Beatrice’s main east, west thoroughfare, was under two feet of water.Flood waters stood in many corn, wheat and hay land fields. Many patrons in lower areas were ruined. Most of the damage was caused by heavy rains which sent Turkey, Swan and Clatonia creeks, which drain into the Big Blue, out of their banks. A second crest from the rains in the David City area — where 14 inches fell Monday — was expected. today. The Missouri River, was expected to cause minor damage in the Nebraska City, Neb., and St. Joseph, Mo., areas when the Nebraska flood waters raise the muddy Mo’s level. Mike Ebler To Be Graduated Thursday Mike Ehler, son of Mrs. J. L. Ehler of Decatur, is one of seven students who will be graduated from the St. Joseph’s hospital school of X-ray technology at 6:30 p. m. Thursday in the hospital’s main dining room. Dr. Joseph M.

(UPI)—St. Mary’s College plans to build a residence hall, dining hall and classroom building beginning this summer with $4,550,000 including a 92,550,000 Federal loan approved this week by the Community Maria Renata, president of the school, said Tuesday.

to draw on for medical costs. Second, older people-because of their age-are more likely to need hospital care than younger people and are going to need to be hospitalized longer. The facts are these; —One out of every 6 people 65 or older will be hospitalized during the year and the average stay will be about two weeks, twice as long as the average younger person. President Kennedy —The hospital bill, not including doctor’s and other expenses, will average about $525. The total bill will be about S9OO. This represents more than onethird of the total yearly income of today’s average older couple and only slightly less than the total income of the average older person living alone. s. These facts show clearly that most older people just cannot afford to be ill for very long. If they are, they must turn to

charity, public welfare or their children. • For the President, thjs Is a situation which should not exist. Thus, he has proposed what he calls the only “reason, able and practical solution to a critical prablem”: A program _• 4 of hospital insurance under social security. The benefits «of the program would be available to all social security and railroad retire- - ment beneficiaries, over 65. In addition, the protection would be extended to all others who are over 65 and have not had the chance to be covered by social security. In the long run, nearly everyone will receive the health insurance by coverage -under the social security program during working years. For the aVerage worker the cost would be 25 cents a week or sl3 a year. The Hospital Insurance Act will be delivered out of key Congressional Committees and voted into law when a majority of legislators, convinced of its soundness, sense a powerful demand from their constituents for Its enactment. Yogr Congressman wants to knew ho* you stand on the bill to provide hospital insurance for older Americans through Social Security. Write to Mm.

Budget Group Os UN Adopts Finance Plan UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UPI) —United Nations Secretary General Thant today was assured of funds to carry on the Congo and Middle East peace-keeping operations for at least six more months. The 111-nation General Assembly was certain to give final approval to a complicated financial formula which was accepted by its budgetary committee Tuesday. The committee consists of all members of the assembly. n,;Thq overwhelming committee approval left the Soviet bloc and France in isolated opposition to the plan for financing peace op- ( erations. The assembly is scheduled to act on the program Thursday, ending a six-week special session called to find means to erase a SIOO million deficit and improve the fiscal system. The budgetary committee winds up its business today. Thant’s authorization to spend money on the Congo and Middle East operations expires June 30. The 11 Soviet bloc countries and France found virtually no support in the committee vote for their constitutional position that peace-keeping costs imist be levied by the Security Council and not by the assembly as was done in the case of operations in the Congo and tile Middle East. The plan authorizes Thant to spend $42.5 million for the Congo and Middle East operations through the end of this year. The first $5.5 million is to be assessed on the regular budgetary scale. For the remainder, 85 "underdeveloped” countires will be granted a 55 per cent reduction on their assessments. The resulting $3.66 million deficit is to be met by voluntary contributions. Cancel Test Flight Os Xls Rocket Ship EDWARDS AFB, Calif. (UPI) —The Air Force Tuesday night cancelled a test flight of the Xls rocket ship which was programmed to take Maj.

He said it had not yet been rescheduled but might go late this week. Tuesday’ chief space agency pilot Joe Walker flew an Xls heat test in which the temperatures on the rocket ship’s special steel skin soared * to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit — enough to burn up an ordinary aircraft. ■ COMING SOON THE BLUE ROOM ! - va-svi.-E. -X., .

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 1963 to***

on Sept. 26, 1897, Giovanni Battista Montini was born, the second of three sons, to the well-to-do family of Giorgio Montini and Giuditta Alghisi. Sixty-five years later on June 21, 1963, Montini was chosen supreme pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church. He took the name Paul VI. Reason For Call Mayor Giustacchini had reason to put in that urgent telephone call to nearby Sotto 11 Monte for “expert advice.” It was there that the late Pope John XXIII was born 81 years before as Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli. And that little village has never seen such a celebration as when Roncalli was named pontiff in 1958. Aside from the fact that Montini and Roncalli both grew up in the same area of northern Italy, they were worlds apart in their background. Roncalli, who died June 3 after a four and a half year reign as .pontiff, came from a peasant family of 13 children. His broth- ; ers continued to till the soil even ’ after he became Pope. Montini’s family were well-to- , do landowners, not nobility but , with generations of solid background. He was one of three . sons. While Roacalli's father toiled most of his life to buy a home and a bit of land, Montini’s father kept three houses, thousands of ’ acres of land, and was a crusad- ■ ing Catholic journalist and mem. ; ber of the Italian Parliament. Both Religious i , Both families, however, were i extremely religious. Every morning, the front door of the Montini would be opened i by a servant shortly before seven . o’clock ' and the three Montini ! boys, followed by the mother and father, would come out and walk to the local church for morning Mass. During the day there were set ’ times devoted to prayers. When ' the family was at their summer • home at nearby Verolavecchia a ’ bell was rung at three o’clock 1 every afternoon. No matter what they were do- ’ ing, the boys stopped to pray : for a few moments. The daily ringing of the bell was to mark the traditional hour of the death of Christ on the cross on Calvary. Enters PrtesthNMwl On May 29, 1920, Giovanni Montini was ordained a priest at the cathedral of Brescia. Later that year he went to Rome, where he continued his studies at the Lombard Seminary of the Gregorian University and at the University of Rome. In May, 1923, his studies were interrupted for several months when he was sent to Warsaw, Poland, as secretary of the papal nunciature. While there he added Polish to his growing list of languages. He speaks, in addition to his native Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, and ’ the language of the church, Latin. In the autumn he returned to Rome and again took up his studies. A year later he altered into ’ regular service in the Vatican . secretariat of state and in 1925 ' was named a clerk there. It was the beginning of 30 years he was to spend with the secretariat.
