(Continaed an rage Twt) I Seeking Funds To Encourage Private Firms WASHINGTON, OP) President Eisenhower asked Congress today to help ex pand private health pro grams through a federal re insurance plan designed to achieve “better health for a stronger America ” The reinsurance proposal embod ied in a broad eight-point pro gram to provide better medical care for more persons, was sub stantially the same as that turned down by Congress last year. In a special message on the health needs of the nation, the President said all his proposals "encourage private effort, with private funds.” and with the co operation of the states and rqedi cal profession can “form the basis for better health for all.” In addition to the controversial reinsurance program, he proposed greater federal aid for public as sistance cases such as the aged and the blind, government insur ance for private mortgage loans for construction of hospitals and clin ics, and federal grants to state vo cational education agencies for training of nurses. He did not estimate in his mes sage how much the whole program would cost, but some estimate of the cost was given in his budget. FEDERAL INSURANCE The federal reinsurance proposal called for an initial authorization of 25 million dollars. It would en courage private heath insurance companies to offer “better protec tion, particularly against exper sive illness” and to extend cover age to additional millions. The government would under write the program by setting up a revolving fund to reinsure private plans against part of the addition al risk resulting from expanded coverage. The private companies would decide whether they wished to join the plan. To stimulate construction of health facilities, he proposed an appropriation of 10 1-2 million which would permit the secretary of health, education, and welfare to insure, "for a small premium,” mortgage loans made by private lending institutions for such build ing. To increase greater federal aid for public assistance cases, he pro posed in his budget that 20 million be appropriated. The President said the sw°ep ijig program he offered represents “a broad and coordinated offen sive against many of the prob lems which must be solved if we are to have better health for a stronger America.” “As a nation,” he said, “we are doing less than now lies within our power to reduce the impact of dis ease. “Many of our fellow Americans (Continued on Page Two) Pretty Girls Quizzed In Slaying BETTY REED PATRICIA WRAY ESTELLE GARDNER NEW YORK (in—An unknown “woman in brown” added a new note of mystery today to thfe strange slaying of Serge Rubin stein.
