Republican a n congressional
leaders were reported yesterday
to have given Secretary of We'll
fare Flemming a rough time
when he outlined a proposal to
insure the aged for medical
care.
Informed sources said Mr..
Flemming presented his plan
to President Eisenhower at an
unannounced White House con-
ference Friday, then returned
to the White House later to
explain the proposal to the
Republican leaders.
The fate of his recommenda-
tions apparently rests with the
congressional leaders, who took
1t under consideration after
what was described as search
ing questioning.
The Flemming plan, which
he proposes as an alternative
to the pending House bill by
Representative Forand. Demo-
crat of Rhode Island. to levy a
social security tax to provide
medical care for the aged,
contemplates:
Insurance underwritten by
private companies, with the
State and Federal Govern
ments paying the major share
OF the premiums. Coverage
would be confined to providing
disqualification or nursing home
care.
The insurance would be of
the deductible type, aimed pri-
marily at helping to meet the
cost Of catastrophe and ex-
tended illness. The current
thinking is that it would not
cover the first $3.50 of cost of
illness.
Participation would be lin
tied to persons with incomes
below a certain level, with out
side figures Of $500 to $4,000
a year currently being consid-
cred.
Administration of the pro-
gram would rest with the
States. =
The administering agency
would negotiate coverage of
hospital and nursing home care
with Blue Cross. Blue Shield

From the start, physicians
had pronounced his condition
serious but not critical.
The hospital did not say how
long the patient would have to
remain in Lenox Hill.
His wife Jean has been at
his side almost constantly since
Gen. Macarthur left his Wal
dorf-Astoria hotel towers suite
to enter the hospital three days
after his 80th birthday.
Up to that time the General
had carried on an active life
as board chairman of the
Sperry-Rand Corp. at a salary
OF S45, 900 a year. He also re-
ceiveS S19.548 a year in retired
military pay and allowances.
He never had an ailment
serious enough before to re-
quire hospital treatment.
In charge of the operation
was DR.. George w. Slaughter,
head of the urology depart
ment at Lenox Hill. Assisting
were DR.. George Rich, anes-
theSiologiSt: DR., Charles Koss-
mann, cardiologiSt, and Col.
Howard w. Doan, a lst Army
surgeon.
The operation lasted from 10
to 10:45 am. Afterward he
was returned to the fourth
floor room he had occupied
since entering the hospital.

''Yes,' said Mrs. Lacey. "Edwina

Desmond Lee Wortley."
Poirot considered. HE has not,
understand, a very good reputation,
this young man?" he began delicately.
''No, indeed, he hasn't! A very bad
reputation! But that's no help SO far as
my granddaughter Sarah is concerned.
It's never any good, is it, telling young
girls that men have bad reputation?
1t it just spurs them .on!''
- ''You are so very right, said Poirot.
''Tell me exactly what troubles you"
"Nur son was killed in the war"
" said Mrs. Lacey. His wife
died when Sarah was born so that the
child has always been with us. Perhaps
we've brought her up unwisely i

always to leave her as free as possible"
''That is desirable, I think" said
Poirot. Zone cannot go against the
spirit of the times
''I think the way one expresses it,"
said Mrs. Lacey, "is that Sarah has got
in with what they call the coffee-bar

rooms in London down by the river
and wears those funny clothes that
they like to wear, and black stockings
or bright green ones. Very thick stock

"A fashion of the moment" said
Poirot. ''They grow out of it."
"Yes, I know said Mrs. Lacey. ri
wouldn't worry about that sort of thing.
But you see she's taken up with this
Desmond Lee-Wortley, and he really
has a very unsavory reputation. He
lives more or less on well-to-do girls.
They seem to go quite mad about him.
- But | don't want Sarah, who's a dear
girl really, to marry him, and she's
absolutely infatuated with Desmond"
''Do | understand, Madame" said
Poirot, ''that you have him here now,
staying in the house, this Desmond
Lee-Wortley?"
That's my doing" said Mrs. Lacey.
''Horace was all for forbidding her to
see him and all that. No. said. Ask
him down here. Let her see him in our

she began to feel like Girl Scout.
However, the powers that be also had her

firmly on a theatrical career. She made her
debut in a now-forgotten melodrama on the
Mississippi ShoWboat "Goldenrod, on which her
mother and father were members of the COM

"Goldenrod" and it must here be admitted that
the old riverboat is now the pride of st. Louis

Permit Unneeded
For Nuzi MEETING
Here, NCP Says

The National Capital Parks
has informed the Jewish War
Veterans that it is not issuing
permits for Sunday meetings
of George Lincoln Rockwell
and his American Nazi Party.
In a telegram to Secretary
of the Interior Seaton, the vet
erans group asked that NCP
be reversed" for allowing
Sunday meetings on the Mall
led by Mr.. Rockwell.
T. Sutton Jett, associate su-
perintendent Of NCP, explained
that Mr.. Rockwell is not meet
ing on the Mall but on one
Of four park areas nearby
which are used for public meet
ings and for which permits
are not required.
For the past several Sundays
the Rockwell group has used
the northeast corner of the
Smithsonian grounds at Con-
stitution avenue and Ninth
street NV. for a forum.
Speechmaking usually contin-
ues for several hours.
The Jewish War Veterans,
headed by National Command
er Bernard Abrams, acted to
try to stop the meetings fol-
lowing similar action taken in
New York earlier this week.

Rockwell the right to hold a

other three divisions.
There is opposition, how
ever, from a number Of

ReoI Possibility Of Conventional Attack
BY Soviets Held Reason for Inclusion

Have we enough prestige
left with our allies to induce
them to accept Spain in the
NATo?
This subject has been dis
cusSed recently in executive
hearings of the Armed Ser
vices and Appropriations
Committees. In the light of
Premier Khrushchev's recent
performances. military ex-
perts are prone to revise their
previous thinking that there
is only a remote danger of
the Communists attempting
a conventional war against
Western Europe. The thought
is that the Russians are not
fearful of nuclear retaliation.
They are convinced that we
will not use our ultimate wea-
pom unless they use it first.
Responsible military m e n
point out that the NATO
forces in Western Europe are
insufficient and should be
strengthened by the addition
of Spain's manpower.
The new look at the Soviet
Unions intentions is based
on available information
concerning the battle order
of the forces in the sector
from the Baltic to the Alps.
The NATO has in that area
only 20 divisions. The Soviet
strength in the same line
amounts to 56 divisions.
Our air force is matched by
the Russians. Moreover air
power, even if we had a su-
premacy (Which we have
not), cannot alone win a
Evening star., 1960-06-25

war. This was amply dem
onstrated in Korea.
An analysis of the battle
order of the Red forces and
documented reports con-
corning the evacuation of
towns and villages in the
strategically important Czech
salient confirm the belief
that if Mr.. Khrushchev in
tends to strike, it will be
from that heavily wooded,
mountainous area offering
excellent opportunity for a
surprise attack against Ger
many. This is a possibility
which military men cannot
ignore by merely parroting
the words: Why should the
Russians risk a war when
they are winning smashing
diplomatic and psychological
battles all over the globe?
The same reasoning was cur
rent in France and Britain
regarding Hitler in the years
preceding World War II.
At this time we are lack
ing the numerical forces to
resist it successfully. Our
Italian allies have done much
to improve their forces-rel-
atively more than the French
and the British. The Greeks
and the Turks are doing well.
Their assignment, however,
is confined to the defense of
Southern Europe. Gen. Lauris
NorStad, the supreme NATO
commander, is reported as
having testified recently that
the forces under his COM
mand can give a good &C
count of themselves. That
does not mean that they can
