This election is important for another reason — we will be registering our rote
Protest H.R. 10650
The several banks of Kosciusko county are entering a joint protest to H. R. 10650, which would levy a federal income tax of 20 per cent on interest earned 'on savings accounts. The protest was in the form of an advertisement in this paper last week. Interest received on U. S. and corporate bonds, dividends on stocks, and profits received on redemption of “E” bonds would also be subject to 20 per cent withholding, effective January 1, 1963, under this law, the bankers point out. According to Wayne Teeple, vice presidenc of the Peoples State Bank at Leesburg and president of the county bankers’ association, “The implication behind, the present tax bill is that a large portion of the American saving public are ‘tax thieves.’ If this is true and we doubt that it is, isn’t it logical that the withholding of the proposed tax will melely drive them into other investments, which

I’ve talked to 250,000 high school and college students. They are products of the turmoil of the 1930’s and 1940’5. All they want is information on how to run things in a right way. They need to know more about government. “There is no more juvenile delinquency than when I was a boy. There is just better reporting. Today, boys and girls want to contribute more. They want to be useful. It is not surprising that college campuses are going conservative for the parents of students on our college campuses are conservatives and the students reflect their parents. “The communist world is tired of Krushchev and would like to get rid of him.

Don’t you’ think they should overlook the differences in our religions and try to make me feel like I belong?

WHY PRESIDENT KENNEDY'S HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN FOR THE AGED IS NOT SOCIALIZED MEDICINE by Dr. Benjamin Spock .Professor of Child Development, Western Reserve University School of Medicine, author of “Baby and Child Care."
Recently, a group of physicians met with President Kennedy to express their support of his health insurance plan for the aged through Social Security. . I was one of those physicians, and I have joined with the others to form the Physicians Committee for Health Care for the Aged Through Social Security. I hope that this organization will help to inform you about the President’s measure. While many doctors who know the facts about this plan' favor it, many others oppose it. Why? I think that many of them are uninformed. They have not read the bill. They simply assume they would disapprove of it because it has been labeled “Socialized Medicine.” Socialized medicine is a system under which the government paysfor and manages all the health care for all the people, doctors’ salaries as well as hospital costs. The President’s program applies only to those ■who are 65 and over. It pays hospital and nursing home bills only. It does not pay the private doctor’s bill. It guarantees the right of the individual to choose his own doctor and his own hospital. The King-Anderson bill, which embodies the President’s health care program, clearly states that the health insurance plan will be carried out “without interfering in any way with the free choice of physicians or other personnel or facilities by the individual, without the exercise of any Federal supervision or control over the practice of medicine by any doctor or over the manner in which medical services are provided by any hospitaL’* Another argument is that the measure will “destroy the doctor-patient

On the contrary, I believe it will improve and strengthen it. Take the case of an aged person who no longer has to fear that he will become a hospital “charity” case. He will go to his doctor more readily at the first signs of illness. If his doctor recommends hospitalization, lie will not be embarrassed because of the lack of money. And, if he goes to his own doctor’s hospital, he can feel confident that he will have the continuous supervision of his own physician, whose bills he will pay himself. This continuity and coordination of care is not always available to an aged person unSpills Doctors Meet President der existing programs. Often, he winds up in the county hospital under the care of a doctor he has never met before. When you figure that nine out of 10 persons over 65 will need hospitalization, most of them more than once, you can well imagine what the total annual hospital bill for this country’s 17 million aged must The bill is about $1,750,000,000 annually (including welfare programs).

of our population accounts for 20 percent of the nation’s total hospital bill. The best way to pay the hospital bill for the aged who can’t pay for it themselves is not by creating a financial burden on the entire family, not through public relief (which is costly and inadequate), but through the time-tested mechanism of Social Security. Americans adopted Social Seurity 27 years ago, amid the same cries of “socialism” we hear today about the President health plan. Take a look at the record* The tag of “socialism” also was given to extension of Social Security benefits to permanently and totally disabled, at age 50, to elimination of the means test in the crippled children’s program, to voluntaryhealth insurance plans, and to Federal grants for maternal and child welfare programs. Some doctors even opposed the Red Cross bank on the grounds that it would lead to socialism! ; Social Security has worked out well over the years. A simple extension of this system to meet the pressing need for hospitalization insurance for the aged should require no defense. In my opinion, it is a proposal, long overdue, based on the American tradition that th.e individual maintains his independence by foresight and laying aside.
