Humphrey Asks U. 5. Aid
For Local Medical Plans
By the Assosiated Prsss

Senator Humphrey. Democrat,
of Minnesota said today the Gov
eminent should help local groups
provide hospitals and other
medical facilities by offering low
interest loans.
In testimony prepared for the
Senate Labor Committee Senator
Humphrey urged support for his
voluntary health facilities bill.
He said it would encourage
groups of people to take direct
responsibility for the solution of
their health care problems"
The measure would permit q
group in community with in
adequate health facilities to form
a voluntary health plan organ
ization. If such people are pre-
pared to assume the financial
responsibility for working out
their own problems, Senator
Humphrey said. they could. under
his plan, apply for low-interest
loans from the Government.

ny the Assoeioted Press

Philippines Split
On Supporting U. s.
In Warning 10 Reds
By the Assosio,ed Pres.

MANILA, April 12.-President
Ramon Magsaysay called time
out today in the face Of an APP
parent choice between backing
the United States in a warning
to Red China to stay out of the
ndo-China war or splitting his
troubled administration deeper.
Mr.. Magsaysay has said Phil
ippines security requires it to
join "other free nations in
resisting Communist aggression
in Southeast Asia"
However, the administrations
foreign policy spokesman, SEN
ator Claro M. Recto, has said
the question of which way Indo-
China goes is none of the Phil
| ippineS' business
After top policy meeting yes
terday-with Recto excluded
Magsaysay said he will seek an
immediate conference with the
United States on the Indo-
China problem.
No Decision Made.
He did not say yes or no to
the proposal of United States
Secretary of Statae John Foster
Dulles for a united front against
Red domination of Indo- China.
However, Vice President Carlos
P. Garcia asked for a definite
choice before Saturday, when he
leaves for the Geneva conference
on Korea and Indo-C China.
eve cannot afford to dilly-
daily on Dulles invitation =. =
he said.
Mr.. Magaysay obviously was in
the midst of a chips-down Strug-
gle for power with the Recto
faction of the administration
Nacionalista Party less than -four
months after his Inauguration.
Speech Revives Slogan.
Mr.. Recto revived the touchy
asia for AsianS'' slogan in q
speech this week end. Mr.. Mag
saysay last month had, in effect
knocked it down with a state
ment that the Philippines stood
for "self-determination and in
dependence of all Asian nations
with international cooperation
under the United Nations.
After Sundays policy confer
ence Mr.. Magsaysay said he
would seek implementation OF
the United States Philippines
defense pact at the proposed
talks. He said he is ready to
start Immediately in Washington
or Manila.
A spokesman said the Philip
pines wants an understanding on
measures to strengthen Philip
pine defenses and would ask a
common defense pool of troops
with all necessary support in
event of danger"

AMARILLO, Tex, May IA.
Gen. Nathan F. Twining said
today the new Russian heavy
jet bomber, comparable in size
to the huge American B-52, was
developed for the sole purpose
of reaching important targets
in the United States"
The Air Force chief of staff
also said, in a speech placing
heavy emphasis on the recent
Russian display of air power over
Moscow, that the Soviet Union
now has thousands more COM
bat planes" than the United
States Air Force, Navy, Marines
and Army combined.
Gen TWining's estimate, con-
tanned in an Armed Forces Day
address prepared for delivery
here, seemed IN apparent conflict
with that made last month by
Representative Scrivner, Repub-
lican. of Kansas, chairman of
a House Appropriations subcora-
mittee handling military funds.
Mr.. scrivrler said the United
States outnumbers Russia by a
80 ratio in the air.
Neither Gave Figures.
However, it was not clear
whether Mr.. Scrivner was re-
ferring to overall air strength,
in all types of planes. or to COM
bat craft. Neither is there any
precise definition of a com
bat" plane applicable to both
nations.
Neither man used figures.
