Forond's Bill

In opposition to this plan is
Representative Forand's bill. That
calls for increasing the Social Sc
curity taxes to provide hospitaliza-
ton, nursing-home care and lin
tied surgical benefits for Social
Security pensioners. This has con-
siderable Democratic support but
not from the House leaders and
the Ways and Means Committee
which have rejected it up to now.
Another aged health bill was
co-sponsored in the Senate by l6
Democrats. 1t had Social Security
ties but called for slightly greater
benefits than the Forand bill.
Least solace of the week to
the Republicans came from Gov.
Rockefeller of New York who said
he thought medical care for the
aged should operate through the
Social Security program.
Another important Republican
approved "Medicare." That was
Vice President Nixon. Like many

This program would take at
least 40 years, he believes, and
cost at least IS billion . year.
2. The Atlantic alliance must
be strengthened, both in military
and non-military fields. On the
military side, Mr.. Stevenson says,
"the only safe assumption for US
to make is that the Soviet Union
may use force wherever there
is no risk Of general war. The
objective (for the alliance) should
be an interdependent military
system In which each nations role
would be geared to It's full tech
nological and economic capabil-
tiles"
Beyond that, he says, the West
ern nations could recognize their
economic and political interde-
pendence by the creation Of an
Atlantic council which would es-
tablish new common policies for
defense, disarmament, space ex-
ploration, monetary reserves, tar
IFS and aid to underdeveloped
areas.

series Of parliamentary maneu-
vers the House on Wednesday
passed a $251 million measure to
provide loans and grants to urban
and rural areas suffering from
chronic unemployment and loss
Of industry. 1t would apply in such
States as West Virginia, Kentucky
and Pennsylvania.
Early in 1859 the Senate passed
and sent to the House a meaure
calling for outlay Of 1889 million
for this purpose. 1t conceded
almost exactly with the begin
ming of President Eisenhower's
campaign to hold the line on
spending. The administration
proposed a more modest bill call
ing for $50 million, mostly for
plant loans.
The administration vigorously
opposed both House and Senate
versions. All attempts to get the
House Rules Committee to act
failed. So, on Wednesday, a cal
endar day, a legislative bypaSsing
procedure unused since 1850 was
called into play to get the bill
to a vote. The Houses rules allow
chairman Of any committee to
bring up a bill for immediate ac-
ton when his committees name
is called on the roll of legislative
committees.

Punishment Issue

When the man went out Of

left the priciple which had been
so vital a part of the controversy:
Should California outlaw capi-
tai punishment?
The Legislature last March
failed to repeal the death penalty
when the Senate refused to report
a bill supported by Gov. Edmund
G. Brown. The Governor himself
agreed that the time was not right
for a successful repeal move. A
campaign is now under way to get
the repeal issue on the November
ballot. Such a campaign was be-

In contrast to the present Gov
ernment, a Stevenson adminiStra-
ton would unquestionably indorse
full-scale Federal aid for school
construction and a sharply in
creased Federal program of urban
renewal and housing subsidies.
It would also support increases
in medical research grants, in
Social Security benefits, a COM
prehensive program for reclama-
ton and power development, in
cluding an expanded Federal
atomic power program, and a
farm program that would probably
seek to expand Government-sub-
sidized distribution of food at home
and abroad and extend some form
Of price supports to producers of
perishable commodities.
On Economic Growth
Mr.. Stevenson specified his de-
tailed recommendations in these
fields in a series of papers on
THE New America" issued during
the 1856 campaign. He said the
total cost of his program in 1866

said was less than one-third of
the additional tax revenue that

HOUSING-The House has al

which is considered far from

New Deal days and from 1941
through 1947 but they were all
essentially staff jobs where his
skillS were visible only to those
with whom he worked. The gov
ernorship is something else again.
Mr.. Stevenson was reluctant to
run for Governor in 194S, Just as
he was reluctant to become the
presidential nominee four years
later. He hesitated making his
decision until the last possible
moment, according to the account
in John Bartlow Martins biog-
raphy Of him, and finally said,
well, guess if I'm going to do
it I have to do it. But sure
hate to-" -s"t
This oddly equivocal remark
was echoed in his 1852 comment
accepting the presidential NOM
ination: That my heart has been
troubled, that I have not sought
this nomination, that I could not
seek it in good conscience, that
I would not seek it in honest self
appraisal is not to say that I
value it the less"
Some see these remarks as evi-
dence that Mr.. Stevenson is in
decisive. Mr.. Martin, a close friend
as well as a biographer, says:
People have often criticized Mr..
Stevenson. and with reason, for
being indecisive. To them he seems
to postpone decisions as long as
possible. To himself no doubt he
poStponeS decisions until he has
all the facts He Is forever
seeing all sides Of a question"
Yet, Mr.. Martin adds, when the
decision is made, it is clearly Mr..
Stevenson's own judgment that
prevails.
Mr.. Stevenson went into Office
as reform" Governor, replacing
a scandal-ridden regime. His cab
met choices-many of them re-
cruited from the top ranks Of
business, the professions and the
universitieS-were of remarkably
high caliber for an Illinois admin
istration.
Record as Governor
Mr.. Stevenson got of to rather
a Shaky start as Governor but
he displayed increasing confidence
and mastery Of political technique
as his term went on. He sent an
ambitious program to the Legis-
lature in l949, but was, friends
report. bewildered and discour-
aged by the vote-swapping and
political trading that were in
volved in attempting to get it
through. NonethelesS, several of
his key measures won approval
and more were passed in 1851,
even though the Republicans then
controlled both houses Of the Leg
islature.
Mr.. Stevenson proved himself
increasingly adept at negotiation,
but the greater part Of his sue
cess was due to his growing pres
tige in the State and his willing
ness to throw his own weight into
the legislative battle. He vetoed
10 per cent Of the bills that
reached him, including o meas
ure to require a loyalty oath of
State employees.
Yet, Mr.. Stevenson's term as
Governor was not q complete sue
cess. Specifically, he was not able
to avoid the tinge of scandal that
plaques so many Illinois admin
istrations. There were several

 It is not our usual policy to reply to unsigned" statements appearing in the Kodiak Mirror. However, due to the half truths contained in the third paragraph under "Tax Facts" in last weeks paper, we wish to state, that KEA is still a taxpayer. The 1859 state legislature replaced the property tax with a 2qo tax on gross reve- nue. This tax is paid to the state and refunded to the taxing author ity in the area earned (City of Kodiak and the Local School Dis trict), less the cost expended by the state in it's collection.
 This system of taxation is used in the majority of states in which electric cooperatives operate.
