they expected to receive in

two days later.
The Soviet note of Nav Is

The Swiss reply-handed to
the Soviet Foreign Ministry BY
the Swiss ambassador in Mos

astonishment at the Russian
charges and rejected them as
"slanderous and completely
without foundation"
1t said the expulsion was on
Swiss initiative without any
foreign Intervention and was
linked neither to the U-2 spy

confused" with the Eisenhower
administration plan.
The new proposal also differs
sharply from the Forand bill.
It does, however, resemble the
Eisenhower administration plan

financing, and in accepting the
principle that the beneficiary

cost Of health care.

standard for those eligible for

Mr.. Meany, rallying support
for the Forand plan, said the
administration plan obviously

political purpose. 1t is designed
TO confuse the issue rather than
meet it. 1t is intended not for
action by Congress, but for
campaign oratory."
Nonetheless. he said, the adj
ministration plan represents a
tremendous victory for our case.
{. 1t has abandoned its past
