Washington—The congression
al battle over providing compul
sory medical care for the elder-1
ly is being i«ed by its advo-|
cates as a springboard to pro
ject the issue into the 1960 po-.
litical campaign and into future!
sessions of Congress.
Congressional approval of a
Voluntary federal-state medical i
care program for the needy overj
65 can only be regarded as one
stage in a politically . explosive ‘
controversy likely to continue
unabated for an undetermined
period sahead. I
. Advocates of the compulsory
social -security plan ■ — including
Senator 'Kennedy, the Democrat- 1
ic presidential nominee—prompt-;
i$ gave notice that the issue j
would he fought out in the po-1
litical campaign and in the 1961 1
session of Congress. I
Just before the Senate de- 1 ,
cisively rejected the Kennedy
social security program by a
44 to 51 vote, the Massachusetts
Senator, forecasting the adverse
decision, told his colleagues:'
“I think we should take the
matter to the people of this
country in October and Novem
ber, in the election, to let them
make the decision as to which
way they wish to go.
“Then we can come back to
Congress in January. Whoever
is president I hope will commit
himself to the social security

principle, which I regard as es
sential.”
It is certain also that the,
AFLnCIO will continue to cam-,
paign vigorously for congression
al- approval of the social se-,
curity expansion program. This
is one of the organization’s ma-|
jor goals.
There are other social securi-l
ty expansion goals which the,
organization is pushing and
which may become hot issues in
the period ahead.
For example, AFL-CIO offi
cials think that a worker, some
time within the next 25 years,,
should receive on retirement at
least 60 percent of his earn
ings.
And, for this purpose, they
think that the wage base, on
which both employers and . em
ployees are taxed, should be
tripled, or at the very least dou
bled—or perhaps be even un
limited. The' taxable wage base
now is $4,800 per year. 1
Incidentally, these officials
foresee wages somewhat more
than doubling in the next 25
years.
Thus, there seems to be no
doubt that what has taken
place during the 1960 session of
Congress, with respect to social
security, is but a prelude to
what may be even more violent
congressional battles in the fu
ture.
“Liberals” in Congress al
ways are pushing a program,
which they regard as vote-lur
ing, for providing workers with
more substantial social • security
benefits. Usually, these pro
grams are advocated most vig
orously in election years.
Conservatives are convinced,
that the ultimate goal of many!
of the social security expansion
advocates is a system of com
pulsory socialized medicine for
the United States.
The conservatives, therefore,
are firmly resisting any effort
to expand the social security
system in this direction.
The compulsory medical care
program advocated by Senator
Kennedy, which would have
been financed by increasing so
cial security taxes, was turned 1
down by the House Ways and!
Means committee, by the House,!
and by the Senate Finance Com
mittee—in addition to the Sen
ate.
This was generally interpret
ed as a rebuff for Senator Ken
nedy and a repudiation of an
outstanding plank in the Demo
cratic platform by a substantial
number of members of his party.
It was accomplished by a coa
lition of southern Democrats and
conservative Republicans.
Not one southern Democrat in
the Senate voted for the Ken
nedy proposal.
The Democratic opposition
consisted of 16 southerners, two
from a border state (Oklahoma),
and Senator Frear of Delaware.
The federal-state plan ap
proved by Congress—and sent to
the White House—was along the
lines of the voluntary program
advocated by the Administration,
including Vice President Nixon.
It would be financed out of the

Treasury general funds.
Both the Administration and
Vice President Nixon, however,
also gave their support to a
broader plan but along the
same general lines advocated
by Senator Javits (R-N.Y.) and
others. The Javits amendment
was rejected by a 28 to 67 vote.
The plan approved by Con
gress was supported by the
American Medical Association,
which has denounced the Ken
nedy approach as a long step
toward socialized medicine.

Os Importance To Every Buyer Os A 1961 Automobile
The Warranty On All 1961
Ford Motor Company Cars
Is Being Extended To 12,000 Miles
Or One Full Year
The 1961 line of all Ford Motor Company passenger cars
will bring to the American market the finest automobiles
ever produced by this company.
Every Ford Falcon, Thunderbird, Mercury, Comet and
Lincoln-Continental has been styled, designed, engineered
and manufactured with three primary goals in mind: (1)
Finest Quality; (2) Greatest Durability; (3) Most Reliable
Operation.
So confident are we of the success of our efforts to ach
ieve these goals that the written warranty on all 1961 Ford
Motor Company cars is being extended to 12,000 miles or

try, was for 4,000 miles or three months.
We urge every prospective purchaser of a 1961 car to
visit his Ford Motor Company dealer and learn all about the
dealer’s new T 12,0000-mile or one-full-year warranty.
