Washington—Gathering of in
telligence for national security
is an historic role of govern
ments. The news of the downed
plane over Russia dramatically
focused attention on this ac
tivity hy the United States.
Most Significant While the
cloak and-dagger aspects of the!
event grabbed the headlines, it
must not be forgotten that the!
most significant conclusion to be'
readied from the event is that:
manned aircraft can penetrate'
Soviet land mass despite the
contrary boasts by the Soviet;
regime. This being demonstra
bly so, it strengthens my view!
that manned aircraft such as the
B-70 should never have been
eliminated by the President and:
defense officials. I have stated'
my objection to this policy in I
previous columns. The B-70.
would be capable of long-dis
tance, high altitude attacks any
where on the face of the earth.
The Soviets know this. There
fore it would be a potent de-j
terrent weapon in our arsenal."
Simply stated, my position is
that the United States must
possess the ability to wage con
ventional warfare against any'
aggressor, for 1 am not willing to.
put all reliance into a sophisti
cated missile system at this time.
We need both.

Congress displayed wisdom at
' the news of the recent plane
incident by not verbally strik
ing out in a partisan vein. On
my part, 1 declined to make any
comment until the fundamental
facts were available. Majority

Summit Conference When
the incident happened, inquiry
was made of me as to whether
President Eisenhower should go
to the Summit Conference. Yes,
the President, as a reflection of
national policy, should be will-
J ing and able to discuss honor
ably world peace with the Rus
sians and any other peoples at
'any time. I do not entertain
j any great optimism for bene
| ficial outcome of the current
conference. This should not rule

President Eisenhower will have

J this great role of representing

he will report frankly to the

Whashington The sizzling
controversy over legislation to
provide hospital, nursing home
and surgical care for the elderly
became oven more heated fol-!
«lowing submission of the Ad- j
ministration's program.
Just what Congress finally:
agrees on —if an agreement is
• reached—is more certain than
ever to be the subject of lively
debate extending through the
1960 political campaign.
There is no doubt that this
has become the No. I issue be-1

have far-reaching effects upon
■the nation's future.
The Administration's program

advocates was described by'
HEW Secretary Flemming as a
voluntary Fdcral-stato arrange
ment to provide assistance to the
j elderly at a maximum cost of
■ $1.2 billion a year, half to be
paid by the Federal Government
and half by the states.
The bill, by Rep. Porand (D-
R.1.), applies to social security
beneficiaries —and the social se
curity tax would be increased
j from 3 percent to 3 H percent on
both employers and employees, j
Major differences between the
two proposals include these: .
1. The Administration plan
j would be available to everyone
over 65 whose annual income did j
not exceed $2,500. Secretary;

at the niomdm of a mock holdup in Santa Rosa. Calif. They covered 15 persons with toy
weapons, presented the teller with a note attacned to a dollar bill which read: “This is a

about 12 million of the nation’s!
16 million persons over 65. The!
remaining 4 million would be|
those with an income greaterl
than $2,500.
The Forand bill would apply
to all social security beneficiaries
regardless of income but would
exclude 4 million persons over
65 who are not covered by so
cial security.
2. Cost of the Administration
program would be met from
general Treasury revenue. There
would be no special fax or as
sessment. Cost of the Forand
bill would be met, in pari at
least, from (the higher assess
ments to he imposed on employ
ers and employees under the so
cial security system.
As soon as the Administration
proposal was made public, the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee intensified its efforts to
agree on a compromise plan. A
new bill, along the lines of the
Forand bill, was promptly in
troduced by Senator McNamara
(D-Mich.) and 15 of ‘his col-1
leagues, including four Demo-i
cratic candidates for the presi-j
dency—Kennedy of Massachu-j
setts, Humphrey of Minnesota,
Symington of Missouri and
Morse of Oregon.
The fact that'The Forand bill
as such has been rejected by
the Wavs and Means Committee,
by a 7 to 18 vote, does not ne

All 10 Republican members of
the Ways and Means Committee
joined in a statement saying
that the Administration program
“deserves the careful and earn
est consideration" of the commit
tee and that the issue is “too
important to permit hasty ap
proval or rejection.”
Sharp differences of opinion
with respect to the Admindstra
tion proposals were expressed
on Capitol Hill and elsewhere.
The American Medical Associ
ation, which had contended that
the Forand bill was a long step
toward Socialism, said the Ad
ministration plan—like the For
and bill—was not “tailored” to
meet the real problem.
There was severe criticism al
so from the AFL-CIO and its
congressional supporters who
have been ardently supporting
j the Forand bill.
1 There was opposition from a
: number of persons including
' members of Congress. who
I thought that the problem should
be met within the privallo enter
prise system—'and that live Fed
eral Government should stay out
of 'the picture.
On the other hand, there was
vigorous support from a large
number of legislators—and oth
ers—who took [lie position that
Che Administration had tome up
with a more practicable program
than was provided in the Forand
bill.
Needless to say, there are vast
political implications in the elec
tion year controversy.
Not all of those potentially af
fected are old silks.
