Gen. Partridge is chief of both
the Continental Defense Com
mand and the Air Defense Com
mand. He discussed the poten-
tial Russian air threat to the
United States during secret tes-
timony April 80 and May be-
fore Senate Armed Services

strength.
Testimony Censored
The generals testimony was
made public by the subcommit-
tee last night, but in a heavily
censored form.
Mr.. Partridge said both Ameri-
can and Russian scientists are
striving to develop an accurate
missile capable of speeding a
hydrogen warhead thousands OF
miles in a few minutes.
The general did not give a
published estimate of which side
is ahead in the vital missile race
but he pictured the threat of q
Soviet ballistlcs missile attack as
$50 frightening to me that We
just cannot afford to put less
effort into the defense than We
can into the offense."
To him, Gen. Partridge said
this seems an almost inSoluble
problem. But he said "our sci
entiSts say it can be done anc
we should be getting alone
with it,"

Canadian issue in decades, adj

Opposition Leader Georg q
Drew fired a parting shot at the
followers of Prime Minister Louis
st. Laurent: THE fight for free
dom of parliament has just
started.
The Government hopes the
Senate will pass the pipeline bill
no later than tomorrow. The
upper chamber suspended some
OF its rules yesterday to permit
passage in one day, if necessary
Tomorrow is the Governments
deadline for enactment of the
bill to lend up to $50 million to
Trans-Canada Pipe Lines Ltd,
largely American-financed, to
build the prairie section of its
long-delayed 1915 million natu-
raj gas line from Alberta to
Montreal. If the deadline is
missed, Trans-Canada is free
from its agreement to build the
line to Winnipeg by next De-

bill against the Progressive Con-
servative-Socialist minority.
Liberals pounded their desks
and cheered Mr.. st. Laurent
Trade Minister c. D. Howe, the
bills sponsor, and Walter Har-
ris, majority house leader, in the
final voting.
The two opposition parties
gave similar ovations to Mr.
Drew and Socialist Leader M. j,

words as Fascist and rapist" in

$500. his wife. SITS, and his
daughter. $3.50. none of them
could collect any reimbursible
BENEFITS from the Government,
since none of them individually
had expenses as high as $3.50.
But II any Of them had an in

Iof $3.50, that person would col
llect rs per cent Of the amount In
excess Of $3.50.
The same is true for the 500
to 5000 medical and $500 hos
lpital basic amounts.
8. The maximum benefit pay
able to an active employe under
IS would be $1,000 in any one
calendar year for himself or each
dependent, with a lifetime maxi
mum Of $4,000 per person and
liberal provisions for reinstate-
ment Of the maximums.
For example, If an individual
had been paid $1,000 in health
insurance. he could then apply
to have the maximum raised
again to $4,000 If he presented
medical certificates he had
recovered his health.
The maximum benefits for en-
Iployes over IS or future retired
employees after the program is
in effect would be a $4,000 family
maximum in any one calendar
year with a $4,000 lifetime family
maximum. There also are NO
provisions for reinstatement of
Irnaximums for these employees.
One feature for future retired
employees or those over IS is
that they would be allowed to
draw up to half Of the ultimate
amount of their life insurance
to pay their medical, hospital
Tor surgical expenses.

gram would not apply to Federal
workers already retired.

signed to the cavalry. Like most
cavalry officers, he switched to

10th Armored Division in Europe
during World War II.

Medical expenses could in
clude such items as services Of

homes. psychiatric and pediatric
care, services Of nurses, shots

and medicines, etc.
The $3.50 surgical expenses de-
ductible would apply to opera
lions and attendant expenses.
The $500 hospital costs would
apply to the room, board and
other hospital expenses.
6. The health insurance pro-
gram would not apply to these
medical expenses: Normal child

arose). dental care and cosmetic

resulted in emergency action in
these two phases of care), eye

sized that the program was not

vided by private health insur-
ance companies. Mr.. Young
emphasized that Federal work.
ers-75 per cent of whom have
these types of policies-should
retain them, by all means.
MIR. Young declared the major
health insurance proposal was
designed to supplement the
basic protection provided by pri-
vate health insurance policies.
3. The program would cost
the Government 1925 million a
year. Mr.. Young predicted that,
based on statistics, SO out of
every 1000 Federal workers
would benefit each year from
the program.
The Government would finance
the program by contributing, as
Its share, Is cents per $1,000
worth of employe life insurance
Icoyerage each pay day, instead
of the 1914 cents it now pays.
Federal employees now pay rs.
cents per $1,000 worth of life
insurance coverage each pay
day. This amount would not
be increased. Hence there would
be no cost to Federal employees
for the proposed major health
insurance coverage.
9. Once the program became
enacted into law, the Civil Serv-
ice Commission. which would
operate the program. would have
the authority to increase or de-
crease the proposed benefits by
