C.MARCH 1, 1973 10 PAGES THIS WEEK PRICE jfftfe'tAX Draft Call Eadad, Men Hast Still Raiistar I "Even though drift calls have coded, young men in our atate will still have responsibilities under the Ik*. The Selective . Service local boards will con- V tinue to function." William H. McCachren, North Carolina S tate Director of Selective Ser vice. announced today. Mr. McCachren said that the Selective Service Act will still require young men to register at age 18 and that local draft boards will continue to process some of these yoqgg men in order to have a "readily avai lable pool" In the event of a national emergency. McCach ren added that this standby role for Selective Service becomes effective without the require ment ef any new l?$kiStive action by Congress. The State Director said that the standby rote for Selective Service would result in a re duced level of operation acro ss the country. Mr. McCach ren said that the current year's budget for the System on a ?a*- : ? national basis would be cut tailed by as much as 9* per cent In the upcoming fiscal year. Assuming approval of these funds by Congress, a substantial reduction In the Cl umber of paid Selective Servi ce employees will be required. The total reduction will be from approximately 7,300 employees nationwide to 4.300 employees. "These reductions must be ac complished nationwide by Dec. 31," Mr. McCachren said, "and the reductions will result in uniformly reduced staffing le vels for all states." McCachren said that it would be necessary to reduce the number of Selective Service employees in N.$. from 183 to 103. However, he pointed out that normal attrition wou ld take care of many of the necessary reductions and that every effort would be made to assist those employees of the System who face termination to find other federal employment. in order to provide continuing service to registrants. Mr. Mc- I Cachren said that most of the 9 states will be colloea'.lng many S of their local board administra tive sites so that the clerical1 duties can be handled by fewer j employees. "Local boards are I still being maintained and local j board members will still be deciding classification requests;! Mr. McCachren added. "Al-a though the collocation of local! board sites may cause regis- ! trants to communicate over g- I reater distances in order to 1 contact their boards, almost all 1 board sites which, formerly we- j re open on a part-time basis!I will be replaced by collocated! - ijoards which wfil be open for business during normal work Ing hours on 4) working days I of the week." It is anticipated ! that N.C. will have approxi- J| mately 21 area Selective of-! flees across the state when! collocation is complete. To provide better public ac- 1 cess to the collocated adminl- I strative sites, the State Direc- 1 tor said that registrars will be j utilised in all communities for the convenience of the young . men who must register, in or- 1 der to preclude avoidable tra vel for them. Afrisors to registrants also are 8Wng ap- - pointed on a widespread basis to answer questions regarding > Selective Service.

Rush On Fertilizer :-s. j-p'. ^ _jjj Demand will be strong for most fertilizers as farmers press for high yields in 1973, la, response to current favora ble commodity prices, and ex pand acreage in response to farm program charges. Fertilizer price changes were slight in 1972, as a combination of competitive forces and price controls kept price movements at a minimum at both the man ufacturing and retail levels. ; The total farm bill for ferti lizers was up an estimated 2 percent over 1971's 92.4 bil lion.

Medicar-Medicaid Changes Explained Pan 1 From: Williams, Pu blic Informaion Officer Apartment of Human Resour ces The Social Security Amtnd men-^ which became law on Oct. JO, 1972. made many ch anges in Social Security pro grams such as Medicare and Medicaid Some of the new regulations are designed to improve pro gram administration and hold little Interest to the public. Others will increase available services or improve existing benefits under Medicare Ex tension of Medicare coverage to disabled workers, coverage of kidney dialysis and kidney transplantation, improved home health services, increasedphy- 1 sical therapy benefits, the ad dition of chiropractic services and voluntary coverage of in dividuals who have never been insured under Social Security are some of the more signi ficant changes. WIDER 55 ELIGIBLE The extension of Medicare to individuals under age 65 is a departure from past pro gram regulations. Previously, no individual could qualify for Medicare coverage before age 66. Now a person as young as lc may enroll in Medicare if he has been disabled and entitled to disability payments under Social Security or the Railroad Retirement System for a mftftftsm of 24 months and ?pJ ijIHowc ' ? ' acrcn uicarc coverage nt iw tended before age 65 are cer tain individuals with chronic kidney disease. To be eligible under this new provision the individual must be medically determined to have chronic di sease and to require kidney dialysis or kidney transplant and be fully or currently in sured under Social Security or be the spouse or dependent child of persons under 65 Ac cording to Ernest Phillips, ch ief of the Medicare-Medicaid Standards Section of the State Board of Health, a 12-year old daugh ter of an insured worker could receive dialysis treatment or a kidney Transplant in a qualified kidney treatment cen ter and the Medicare program would reimburse the center for such treatment. This reim bursement would be subject to ' the regular deductible, coinsu rance and premium p. ovisions of the Medicare law. Payment will be made for services pro vided after June, 1973. Beginning July 1, 1973, hos pital insurance is available on a voluntary basis to 55-year old persons previously ineli gible to enroll under Medicare These include workers never covered under Social Security wives who had never wotked and could n<y qualify under the ir hasband's eligibility, women no! insured under Social Secu rity and workers whose earnings had been so low or sporadic ti^r they were unable to ac The individual who wishes have to enroll during** stated e f Or i . be remrmlered chat private coverage would be unavailable to most of those eligible under the new provision because of their age and financial status. The recipient has the option of cancelling his voluntary co verage at any time by filing notice with the Social Security Administration. No persons will be enrolled until July 1, 1973 The new amendments also eliminate the payment by the Medicare patient of the 20"?) coinsurance for home health visits under Part "B" of Me dicare. Under old regulations. insured' individuals were enti tled to 100 home health visits during each calendar year as a Part "B" benefit. He had to pay 20% of the reasonable charges for these visits Now Medicare will pay 100% of these charges The patient receiving 10 nur sing visits at $10 per visit, for example, would have paid a coinsurance of $2 per visit or a total of $20 for the 10 visits. Now Medicare will pay the entire $100. This benefit is effective with any services furnished on or after Jan. I, 1973 To be continued next week.
