Eisenhower. . - - ■ Many things Stevenson stumped for on the campaign trail — limited nuclear test ban. to .mention one — hurt him at the polls, but time and events proved he was thinking straight. When told these issues hurt him. he commented he could not be less than truthful to the American people, regardless how much it hurt him. Since his defeat at the »lls. however, h.is stature has grown. His writings have been quoted throughout thb world. His ni.oter of wit has put him into a ciass of his own as a colorful politician. . We are firm in the belief that Adlai Stevenson would have made the United States a truly great president; but truly great men are so often denied this high office. History teaches us that well.

an encouraging tendency to look the problem squarely in the eye and seek acceptable remedies that.,would nicely balance the right to privacy arid protection of constitutional rights of individuals on. one hand, the people*® right to know on the other. ’ Among their proposed remedies are arrai ■ ents for pooling the coverage of major news events, where they can b® to avoid over-concentration of .men and equipment in small areas, Press a-xx-ia'i"iis and individuals in the industry advocated codes of conduct or principles to improve standards of news coverage and the press’s “image,” without sacrificing that freedom of judgment without which a free press would disappear. The problem is by no means confined to this country. In England, a dozen years the press created a watchdog Press Council keep the fierce competitionwithin the bounds of decency , and restraint. and to hear and act on complaints from the public of improper conduct on the part of tlie press. The most distinguished . complainant to date was none other than Her Majesty, the Queen, who last summer pr> tested the publication by two newsjiapers of photographs taken secretly of herself and Princess Margaret while they Were water skiing. This. Her Majesty asserted. was an unreasonable intmsion On their private lives, and the Council agreed that it was. The incident could lead to further curbs on the press.

Health projects have grown over the years in knowledge, activities and membership, says the Cooperative Extension Service • which supervises 4-H programs. And keeping fit is one important segment of the national 4-H Health program which today enrolls some 677.000 boys and girls. It is easy to keep in good shape during summer months i through sports, games, hikes, camping and outdoor W’ork. But, i cautions the 4-H Health bulletin, there is more to maintaining good health than strenuous exercise. ) This recent publication points out the need for three nutritious mehls a day, plenty of sleep.‘periodic physical checkups ■ and a sensible balance of work and play.

a How Medicare Works

I Bv SENATOR VANCE HARTKE I -Aly last column reported on some of the non-medicare aspects of the Social Security amendments bill, including a 7 per cent increase in ben-efits—back-dated to January 1— which all persons now getting checks will receive. There will be a lumpsum check a.rri\ ing for you forthe 1 ■‘back pay' probably in September. To find out how much you can expect, take 7 per cent of your monthly. check and multiply by 9. On SIUO a month, for example, this would be $63, while your regular checks will go up to $lO7 in the future. Friday, July 9, was the big day ■ when we passed’the bill in the Senate. Besides the improvements I was able to make earlier in Finance k'ommiVet:ne Senate adopted two more of my amendments, including one that the Finance Committee had turned down. That one, by a 78-11 j vote, gives added help to the blind. My other amendment takes off the 120-day limit on "medicare”* hospitalization for tile people who have to stay longer than that. Originally, the "medicare” provisions of the House bill allowed only 60 days in the hospital. Lri Finance Committee. I was able to increase the protection to 120 days, with the patient paying $lO for each day beyond 60. Now, for the accident or stroke victim who may need it, hospital care can go more than four months if necessary— 1 in fact as long as necessary. I The biggest change in Social’ Se-1 (curity is a landmark improvement ! I greater than any since tiie law itself was adopted 30 years ago. To ex- j plain this “medicare” part, I am ( taking more space than usual, but • I know how many are anxious to j learn how it works. "Medicare” has | two parts, and here it is: ■] Basic Hospitalization Plan. If you are over 65 you will be protected I whether or not you have ever worked under Social Security. Benefits : will be available after June 1 of next year. Then, if you..must go to a hospital. you will pay the first.s4o of ’the bill, but Social Security will pay the rest, up to 60 days. If you stay longer, you will pay $lO a day. Convalescent Home. When you are ; able to leave the hospital, if you (need convalescent care, you can go j to an approved nursing home for up

to 20 days more with no cost; after that, you can stay up to 100 days total at a cost of $5 a day. The additional days are a result of the Hartke amendment. Home Nursing Care. When you fi- ; nally go home, if you spent at least three days in the hospital, the doc- . tor can work out a plan for a visiting nurse, therapist, or “home health aide" to visit your home and supervise your recovery with up to 175 home calls. This includes out patient hospital visits if equipment is . needed which can’t be used at home. Seven-ty-five of these days are a result of the Hartke amendment. Outpatient Diagnostic Services. If you need diagnostic studies such as electrocardiograms, laboratory tests, and so on. you pay the first S2O and the rest is covered by the basic plan. ( All of this, however, does not cover doctors' bills for surgery, office visits and so on. The two parts of “medicare” are roughly similar to Blue Cross hospital insurance and Blue Shield medical insurance. Part II (the "blue shield" type 1 covers: people voluntarily. To enroll if you are 65 or over, you will sign up during a period of six months storting next April, with benefits available after January I. 1967. You will pay $3 a month premium, and the government will pay $3. You will also pav the first SSO 'another “deductible”). But here is what you will Iget:- ’ l | Surgeons' Fees: After the first SSO. 1 80 per cent of the surgeon's charge: 'will be paid. If an operation eo^s, $250. for example, you would pay i SIOO <the SSO deductible ply 20 per cent of the charge* and the other ;Sl5O would be paidDoctors’ XTsits. X-rays, laboratories, braces, or artificial limbs, amI balance service, rental* of wheelchairs. These are among other items I the voluntary insurance would pay. For example, your surgery might be preceded bv five visits to your doctor at $7 each, S3O for X-rays. S2O for laboratory work. The "deductible” is charged only once a year. :so on this $73 you would pay 20 per cent, or $15.60.

For ev- : eryone who works under Social Sei curity, the rate of payroll tax will be increased to cover the costs of the program—but nowhere else could you possibly get the over-65 health insurance protection this law will give. . At the same time, the new law ex-' ■ plicitly says there is nothing to prevent one from carrying other health ! insurance too. I So Friday, July 9, was a Senatel

Now a committee from both the House and Senate will make some adjustments of differences between the bills passed by the two bodies, the final version will be enacted, and the President will sign the law.
