Presi dent Kennedy prodded Congress Tuesday to pass his program of medical care for the elderly which would be financed by a $1 n peai ex CDHOF f i 4' o Committee i i I 1 S J I A, Sen billion increase in social , security taxes. He said the "passage of time"' had. increased its urgency. To carry out. the .plan,. Kennedy asked an increase in social secur ity contributions of one quarter of 1 per cent on employers and em ployes and , a boost in the maxi mum earnings base from $4,800 to $5,200. Estimated cost of the first year of operation would be $1, 060,000,000.: . The President made the plea in a special health message, which also proposed a three-year fed erally-assisted program . to inocu 1 a t e American children against polio, diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus. In addition, he requested . legis lation which would help the na tion's big cities fight the growing problem of air pollution. Addressing himself again to the medical care plan he put before Congress last year, Kennedy said that "prolonged and costly illness in later years robs too many of our older citizens of pride, pur pose and savings." Administration, officials f e 1 jt there was a strong possibility of congressional action on the plan this year, citing the renewed in terest of some ' lawmakers. But the legislation, has been bottled up since last year in the House Ways & Means .Committee, and pros pects for getting it out this sea son appeared slim. ---"' ' Democrats . believe the proposal will be one of the hottest political issues in the November . congres sional elections.

Tuesday that he thought - prospects for passage were "quite good." The Senate is prepared to. act, he said, and he hopes the House committee will clear, the bill to the floor. Speaker John W.

Glenn, Jr., warned congressmen Tuesday that some future American space flights may fail, possibly with loss of life. But he urged them not to lose faith in the program. Glenn, appearing with fellow spacemen Alan B. Shepard and Virgil I. (Gus) Grissom before the House Space Committee, said: "We don't, envision every flight coming- Jaack -as- successfully- as the three so far.; ' . ''There ; will be failures, There will be sacrifices. - . : "I hope we -will all continue to have, the same-confidence in the program that we have now, despite the fact there will be times when we are not riding such a crest of happiness and success as we are right now."

Shobcn, Jr., of the Department of Psychological Foundations and Services at Col umbia University, will deliver the third address, concerning how the disciplines of science can be hu manized and properly made to era body central human values.

Webb also disclosed that there would be an announcement in the next two weeks concerning the training of more astronauts. Meanwhile, the White House said the civilian space agency had been asked to recommend a "pro per program" for Glenn which possibly, would include a scries of public appearances. The request followed a discus s i o n between President Kennedy and Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, head of the space coun cil. After Glenn addressed a joint session of Congress Monday, there were reports the administration had decided to underscore Amer ican's new standing in the space race by keeping the orbital astro naut in the public eye. En route to Tuesday's hearings, Glenn and the two astronauts who preceded him into space on sub orbital flight dropped by NASA headquarters t o thank personnel for "behind-the-scenes" help with the program. 57 f'T '""y !

Pre slid ent Charles ' de Gaulle's' government ordered "Army troops and tanks to move 'in ; fOrce into Algiers and Oran Tuesday to end anarchy and mass terrorism threatening to block an-Algerian peace. : The troops, drawn from units held in reserve outside both cit ies, sped into downtown areas and patrolled streets -10 abreast in some, spots in an effort to curb attacks. But scattered incidents - of ter rorism continued to take a toll of dead and wounded even as De Gaulle and his Algerian Affairs Committee met in Paris to con sider further measures to restore order. In Tripoli, Libya, the Algerian rebel national council p a r 1 i a- ment met for the sixth straight day of debate on whether, to rati-1 fy or reject a cease-fire accord that was approved early, last week by the French cabinet. Denied Reports In Tunis, authoritative Algerian Nationalist -sources categorically denied reports that the rebel council had ratified the cease-fire accord by the required four-fifths majority and was discussing oth er affairs. The council still is debating the draft pact, the sources said, and it was not known when the meet ing would end. It had been expected that the council meeting would end last weekend and that a cease-fire to end the Vk -year-old Algerian war could be proclaimed this week. Officials said Tuesday, how ever, that the prolonged rebel de bate could set the. date back to March 7 or 8. Drawn From Reserves The troops sent into Algiers and Oran were drawn from units totaling some 40,000 men and held hitherto in reserve. Paris officials said the govern ment was virtually convinced now that the outlawed Secret Army Organizat ion OAS would not stage a full-fledged revolt after a cease-fire was proclaimed. . They said it appeared more likely, that the European terror ists instead, would intensify their efforts to create a state- of com plete anarchy in Algeria to keep the cease-fire from being carried out. - ' ; ; " r " Paris police, meanwhile, con tinued non-s top questioning of eight young suspected OAS ' ter rorists rounded up in the past few days. . . - . - Peace Corps Examination To Be driven Applicants for the Peace Corps may take the required entrance test at UNC during the statewide college Peace Corps Conference to be held in Chapel Hill during March 16-17, Dean of Student Af fairs Charles Henderson, Jr. an nounced yesterday.

Carter Case Examined By UNC Trustees The board of trustees of the Con solidated University decided Mon day to submit the case of Ann Car. ter to a special five-member com mittee to investigate the appeal of her suspension by the UNC wo men's honor council last spring. Miss Carter, whose father is a professor in the School of Business Administration, was convicted by the Women's Honor Council of an swering questions contained in an original examination given her class, instead of a make-up exami nation which the professor said he had given her. Miss Carter, represented by local lawyer John T. Manning, appealed her case unsuccessfully to Chan cellor William T. Aycock, Presi dent William C. Friday and finally to the executive committee of the board of trustees. Her appeal to the ful b o a r d was considered in a lengthy session behind closed doors Monday. . According to her father Judge Clyde Carter, "there was to be no publicity until a final decision h;id been mad e." Chancellor Aycock, President Friday, and Dean Hen derson of Student Affairs all follow ed this policy in refraining from of ficial statements until the board can be appointed and conduct its investigation. "NO comment" was also the statement from attorney Manning's office. A member of. the board of trus tees said it was decided that the full board, composed of more than 100 members, would be too large to bear the case,- so a five-member committee will be appointed by the governor to 'investigate' the case. The committee which will include at least three lawyers was directed to "act with dispatch" and submit recommendations at the board's next meeting which will come at commencement timo. University officials did divulge the fact that the investigating com mittee will be concerned, not only with the Carter case, but also with the whole framework of the Uni versity's disciplinary system. Miss Carter is presently studying in France. SP Postpones Nominations The Student Party nominations were unexpectedly postponed Mon day night soon before voting could begin on the vacant legislature seats which were to be filled by party vote.

We felt that all of them should be given the opportunity to vote on the nominations for the openings." Under SP by-laws, new members must attend one meeting before they are allowed to vote on party matters. Before postponement Anne Lup ton was nominated for the opening in Dorm Women's II in an uncon tested election.
