DEBATE
Kennedy Usurps
Humphreys Role

letter from a West Virginian
who detailed the woefully
meager Government surplus
which is supposed to sustain
him and his family Of seven
children. He held up a car
which represented one-third OF
a months egg supply for the
family.
West Virginia needs help"
he said starkly.
The question period drew the
rivals closer together. They
agreed in their views on the ad-
mission Of Red China to the
United Nations. about the Negro
sit-ins in the South, about the
administrations handling Of the
Cuban problem. About the
question Of religion and its
personal character.
They were briefly divided
about income tax exemptions,
which gave Senator Humphrey
a chance to identify himself as
the poor mans candidate.
Back to Brother Act
Senator Kennedy scored on
the same point, however, by
saying tersely it would be folly
to promise all the programs
they both advocated and at the
same time promise to cut taxes.
But the brother act was re-
sumed when they we're con-
fronted with a question as to
why they blame all the ills
of West Virginia on the ad-
ministration when there is a
Democratic Congress.

can't find them. The people
of this State only need a

going to get it," he said, sound
ing exactly the way Senator
Humphrey usually sounds.
He finished 10 seconds within

Senator Humphrey was
plainly thrown of stride by this

he couldn't get the range. He

A 66-year-old plasterer died

the pilot is missing-"we have
been told by the doctor that to
tell the party involved might
be fatal" At Burbank, Calf,
Lockheed officials said the
pilots mother is under treat
ment for a heart condition.
Senator johnson said he had
asked the administration ito
give me full particulars" with
regard to the plane.
The Senator, who heads the
Senate Space. Committee, said
he knew that "for some time
NASA has been using Nightly
ing aircraft for upper air
weather studies in various por-
tions Of the world in connec-
ton with its aeronautical re-
sponsibilities."
Senator johnson questioned
Mr.. Khrushchev's statement
that the United States plane
was unmarked.
IF I am correctly informed,
all NASA planes are clearly
marked and are on strictly
peaceful missions" he said.
Senator Bridges Of New
Hampshire, chairman of the
Senate G. o. P. Policy Commit
tee, said:
This is very serious matter
1t certainly is not indicative of
a friendly approach to a sum-
nit meeting which the Rus
slams have been seeking for a
long time.
AN immediate explanation
and response should be had.
don't think the President
should depart for any summit
meeting until we do get it,"
Called an Ill Omen
Senator Aiken, Republican OF
Vermont, a Foreign Relations
Committee member, said the
events are an i'll omen for any
hope of a fruitful summit con-
ference.
Senator Aiken said the shoot
ing down of the plane without
warning, if that is what hap
pened, would represent "a most
unfriendly action that would
cause some serious thought
about a summit conference"
He said it seemed in SHARP
contrast to "our rescue Of Rus
sian sailors from the Pacific
and the treatment they re-
ceived."
Senator Bartlett, Democrat
Of Alaska, said he believes the
United States should go ahead
with the summit conference
despite the crude. rude, provo
cation remarks of Khrushchev. -
HE is acting and talking like
a village bully, but we have a
mission to perform and should
perform it," Senator Bartlett
said.
Senator Mansfield, Democrat
OF Montana, told the Senate
that prospects for a successful
summit conference are grim
indeed 'if the Russians are
going to shoot first and COM
plain later"
1T is they who are being
provocative and it is they who
are jeopardizing the prospects
for peace" he said.
Senator Mansfield also notec
that first reports indicate that
the President had no knowledge
OF the plane incident"
II that is the case, we have
got to ask whether or not this
administration has any real
control over the Federal bu-
reaucracy," Senator Mansfield
said and then asked:
Can any agency of this Gov
ernment. without the knowl-
edge of politically responsible
officials, assume for itself the
right to probe for scientific OF
whatever purposes along q
dangerous border and, hence
endangers the policies of the
President?"

Following another closed ses-
sion with the House Ways and
Means Committee, he also told
reporters that Vice President
Nixon took part in executive
branch discussions that led to
White House approval of the
program this week.
Mr., Flemming indicated that
Mr.. Nixon as well as BudgNt
Director Maurice Stans appro-
we'd the voluntary "Medicare
Plan For The Aged" despite an
Estimated annual Federal cost
Of $500 million and the same
cost to the States.
Mr.. Flemming disclosed that
he telephoned Gov. Rockefeller
yesterday to discuss the admin
istration's plan which was sub
mitted to the House committee.
Later, the New York governor
told a news conference in Al
bany that he believed any pro-
gram of old age health insur-
ance should operate basically
through the Social Security
system.
The Welfare Secretary COM
mented that the governors

cause Gov. Rockefeller on sew
leral previous occasions had said
much the same thing.
The administration plan al
ready was under a heavy
barrage of Democratic criti-
cism. Republicans praised it in
general, but some made the
point that they wanted to study
its provisions more carefully
before commenting.
Forand Provisions
The bill sponsored by Rep
resentative Forand, Democrat
of Rhode Island, but currently
shelved in the committee, would
increase social security taxes
Ito finance hospital, nursing
home and surgical care services
for persons IS and over if they
are already eligible for other
benefits in the old age and sur
vivors insurance section.
The administration opposes
that bill because of its COM
pulsory provision requiring en-
Iployes and employers to pay a
high tax on the first $4,000 of
the employees income and it
would not apply to several mil
lion aged persons not on social
security.
Representative H arris o n .
Democrat of Virginia, COM
mittee member not especially
friendly to the Forand bill, de-
nounced the administration
plan as a Townsend Plan-R -Rube
Goldberg scheme that is more
socialistic and more unsound
and ultimately more expensive
than the Forand bill" He
charged that the chief bene-
hciaries would be the insurance
companies"

Senator GoldWater accused
his party of having spent 80
years saying that the welfare
state and centralized govern

that "a little of it is all right" !"
He mentioned Federal aid to

the 81 minimum wage law as

Senator Goldwater said he
knows he will be charged with
