to voting qualifications.

music Of Bizet and the poems
of Prevert." They are ready to
respond with enthusiasm to the
various Communist song and
dance teams who have accom-
panied their leader to France.
But with it all there's feel
ing that there may be a catch.
Frenchmen. France is the first
Western country with an i'm
portant Communist Party
which Mr.. Khrushchev has
visited in the course of his
travels.
This in itself increases the
excitement and raises the tenn
perature in Paris today. The
people are telling themselves
hopefully that there's nothing
to worry about-that the visit
has no other object than to
prepare the way for a sum-
NIT conference and improve
chances of world peace. They
are prepared for a certain
amount Of Kremlin politicking
at the expense Of their West
German friends. They will
turn an attentive ear to propo-
sitions for closer economic and
cultural bonds.
But If the Irritation goes be-
yond this point-if Mr.. Khru-
shchev gets any mistaken ideas
about the basic loyalties Of peo-
pie who turn out to see him or
if his public speeches go beyond
the bounds of polite propa-
ganda, the atmosphere could
change rapidly. And the po-
lite cordiality with which his
visit started today could turn
very sour, indeed.
The nervousness in France
today comes very largely from
an uncertainty about what Mr..
Khrushchev intends to do here
and how the country might
react.
People Are Hopeful
Mr.. Khrushchev is, after all,
not only the head of a great
state and leader Of a people
with whom the French. have
always claimed sympathy and
friendship. He is also head of

fine food could not be stifled.
The menu was pate de foie
gras, lobster souffie, filet Of
beef, salad and desert, accom-
panied by fine French wines.
Mr.. Khrushchev laid a
wreath this afternoon before
the majestic Arch of Triumph.
There was a ripple Of cheers
from crowds five to eight per-
sons deep as his car, with mo-
torcycle escort, rolled slowly
with Gen de Gaulle up the
mile-long Champs Elysees to
the arch. Mr.. Khrushchev
waved.
Crowds were jampacked
around the arch. Observers
said the watchers were largely
Communist. Leaders led chants
of "Khrushchev! Khrushchev!"
Visits Execution Site
After the 10-minute cere-
mony the premier visited Mont
Valerian. a suburb across the
Seine where Nazi forces exc
cuted hostages during the
French occupation. The site is
now a monument.
Draped collins of executed re-
sistance heroes are kept in a
grotto there. Gen. de Gaulle
did not make this trip. The
premier was accompanied by
French Veterans Minister Ray
mond Triboulet.
Mr.. Khrushchev drove back
to his quarters to receive a
delegation from the Commu-
nist-dominated General Fed

4. It would "pre-empt the

Age Limit Change Asked
The committee also is consid-
ering general changes in the
social security program. .As to
this, Secretary Flemming rec
commended:
/. Removing the requirement
that an otherwise qualified dis
abled person must be so years
of age to receive social Sc
|curity disability benefits.
Mr.. Flemming said this
would make about 0,000 peo-
pie Immediately eligible for
benefits, would cost about 5000
million in 1861. increasing in
the future to an average of
over $500 million a year.
2. Increasing the benefit for
each child Of a deceased worker
to three-fourths of the work.
er's benefit amount had he
lived.
The present law provides
that in a survivor case the
benefit payable to a child is
one-half of what the workers
benefit would have been, plus
one fourth of the workers
benefit amount divided by the
number of children getting
benefits.
The Secretary explained that
under present law If there are
two children and one child goes
to work and has his benefit
withheld the other child is still
not eligible for the full three
quarters benefit.
The Secretary estimated
that 100000 children would
get benefit increases immedi-
ately as a result of this pro-
posal. He said this would mean
additional benefits totaling
about $50 million in 1861. in
creasing later to an average OF
about $65 million a year.
3. That self-employed physi-
clans be included under the So
cial security system on the
same basis as are other self
employed people now covered
Such coverage has been con-
sistently opposed by organized
doctors every time it has been
proposed.

better protection against the
risk Of catastrophe Illness
I'VE have decided that even
q restricted program Of this
kind would be subject to the
same fundamental objections
that we have made ito the
Forand bill, he said.
Mr.. Flemming said increasing
numbers of elderly people are
getting hospital insurance.
"At the same time" Mr..
FIemming continued, II desire
to emphasize again that ! be-
lieve that continued progress in
the direction of covering an in
creasingly large percentage OF
the aged by voluntary hospital
insurance programs will still
leave us with serious problems.
Shortcomings Seen
There will still be aged
persons whose policies provide
inadequate protection. Also
there will still be aged persons
who will have no protection
but who would be willing to
participate in voluntary pro-
grams if provided with policies
at rates they could afford to
pay.
Anything done in this area
should build on-and not un-
dermine or replace with a Fed
eral system - the excellent
progress that is now being
made by private efforts" he
added.
The Secretary said that be-
fore arriving at sound conclu-
sions as to the best manner in
which to deal with the medical
care problem "it will be nec-
eSsary for us to begin imme-
diately to consult further with
experts in Government, with
outside experts and groups, and
with State officials"

portedly has been insisting that
Republicans provide some al
tentative to the plan for adding
health care to social security
benefits.
The administration decision
to make no recommendation
now might make it more diff
flcult for Mr.. Nixon to rally
elderly voters to his cause in
the presidential campaign.
One of the foreseeable re-
suits could be passage by the
Democratic Congress Of some
version of the Forand bill and
its subsequent veto by Mr.
Eisenhower.
This would leave the Repub-
licans in the position of having
blocked aid to a large segment
of voters. 1t would confront
them with what they might
regard as the necessity for
pledging in their platform q
program they were unready OF
unwilling to advance when Con-
gress was in session and could
do something about it.
Labor Backs FOrand
The Forand bill, actively
backed by labor. would provide
increased social security in
surance to meet the costs OF
l20 days a year of hospital,
nursing home and surgical serv-
ices for old-age pensioners.
The cost of expanding the
program would be financed by
an additional social security
payroll tax of "a per cent each
on workers ond employers.
Among other extensions of
coverage recommended by Mr..
Flemming were that coverage
include services, other than do
mestic services, performed by a
parent for a son or daughter;
that 1t be made available to
policemen and firemen under
State or local retirement sys-
TENS in all States; that pro-

Renewal Study Headed
By Alexandria PIonner

Alexandria City Manager Ed
ward G. Heatwole announced
today he had created a special
department to draw up the
city's next urban renewal plan.
The department is to be
headed by City Planner Martin
Smith who devised the only
proposal for renewal of the
city's Old Town section which
has gained support of the areas
residents.
The new unit. called the Ur-
ban Renewal Planning Division,
will consult with citizen ad-
visory groups, merchants, civic
associations, the Chamber of
Commerce and other interested
parties in developing the plan,
Mr.. Heatwole said.
The city's last proposal for
redevelopment of a 20-block
downtown area was rejected by
the city concil in July after
angry citizen protests.
That plan, drawn by New
York planning consultant John
j. Beggs, replaced the less for
