demonstrate their patriotism by voting for m bill which makes desecration of the American

flag a federal crime.

The appeal was made by the bill’s sponsor. Rep. Richard L. Roudebush, R-Ind., in remarks prepared for the House. The House was scheduled to take up the measure today but put it off until next week to consider the railroad anti-strike legislation. The legislation would make desecration of the flag punishable by a El,000 fine, a year’s imprisonment, or both. The proposal has strong bi-partisan backing and was inspired by recent anti-war demonstrations in New York City where the U. S.

flag was publicly burned.

“Now is the time for patriotic

Americans to demonstrate” Roudebush declared. “Now is the time for Congress to lead the way and show the citizenry that we still care for our flag and country.” Although the bills is expected to pass without much difficulty, some legislators said they would oppose it on grounds it restricts the free expression of political

dissent

Roudebush’s sponsorship of the measure also was prompted by a flag-burning in an Indiana State University English class discussing symbolism by a Canadian-born professor who later was fired from his job.

had been ‘leas than 5 per cent” Ball said the total of $2.4 billion in Medicare payments to 4 million older Americans during the period was “slightly” higher than anticip&ted-largely because of hospital costs. But Ball noted the payroll tax which finances the hospitalization phase of Medicare has required no increase. Medicare, which went into effect July 1, 1966, also paid out $640 million during its first year for doctors’ bills, which are insured under the voluntary “part B” of the program. More than 90 per cent of Americans over 65 are covered by this optional insurance, for which they pay a premium of $8 a month.

State fossil MILWAUKEE, Wis. UPI— Along with a state flower, stone, bird and song, the Wisconsin Geological Society wants the legislature to adopt a state fossil, the mastodon. The mastodon, an extinct prehistoric elephant, got the society’s recommendation over the cephalopod, a kind of mollusc, after a vice president said, “Ask one person on the street what a cephalopod is and he’ll think you’re swearing at him.” “As for the mastodon,” he added, “most people get excited about it”

Wrong place SINGAPORE UPI—It wasn’t the best place to hold a political demonstration. Communists who massed outside Singapore’s Changi prison Tuesday night to demand the release of 150 political detainees watched in surprise as the gates swung open. The police herded them inside.
