DEMOS PLEDGED
TO PREPAID PROGRAM

The Democratic party's 1860 plat
form and it's presidential and vice
presidential nominees-Senators John
Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Lyndon John
son (D-Texas)-are squarely on the
side of social security financing. Says
the platform:
owe will provide an effective sys-
tenn for paid up medical insurance
upon retirement, financed during
working years through the social Sc
curity mechanism and available to
all retired persons, without means
test. This is first priority
The Republicans 1860 platform is
less direct. 1t promises ''the aged who
need it, protection against burden
some costs of health care" Such pro-
lection would be financed through ga
contributory system might
mean social security contributions
or federal and state contributions.
The Republican program would give
older people 'Nthe option of purchas-
ing private insurance"-an option
they presumably would have under
any system. 1t would also ''include
state participation" thus seeming to
lean toward federal-state grants.
But if the Republican platform is
equivocal, the Eisenhower Admins
tration is not. The President is fatty
to using the social security
system. Welfare Secretary Arthur
Flemming has proposed federal-state
subsidies to meet the health costs of
elderly poor people, and the Republi-
IAN standard-bearer, Vice President
Richard Nixon, let it be known that
he was one of the architects of the
Flemming proposal.
If senators who want to use social
ecurity succeed in amending the COM
nittee bill, they must also convince
! House-Senate conference. Beyond

CONS.
One of their leaders is Senator Pat
fcNamara (D-Mich.), chairman of
subcommittee on problems of the
ged. If Congress this year estab-
shes federal-state grants to pay the
ealth costs of old people who're poor,
is aides feel this will probably delay
broader program based on social
ecurity for another four years.

VIII Congress help people put money
aside during their working years to
pay for health care after they retire
Or will state and federal governments
care for the health of older people
who're too poor to pay the bills them
selves?
How this question will be decided
is largely up to the Senate, which
began debate this week. The forces
are fairly evenly matched.
The first group wants Congress to
use the social security system so ev-
eryone who works will save enough
money to provide health care after
he retires. The other group wants
Congress to let the federal and state
governments pay the medical bills of
old people who're on relief.
If the social security system is
used, older people would have the
right to health care. Under the fed
eral-state subsidies, older people could
get health care if they were poor
enough.
Senators and congressman have pro-
posed a dozen variations of each idea,

First. Of 293 Senators and
Representatives thus far con-
tacted by employe leaders as to
their stand on classified and
postal employe pay raise legis-
lation, 274 promised to vote for
1t. with only 10 against. In
addition. although they were
not asked this question, many
OF the legislators volunteered
that they would vote against
overriding a presidential veto
should one occur.
Second, Senate Majority
Leader johnson has announced
his support of postal and
classified employe pay raises. In
addition, Senator johnson said
the Senate would act on the
bill early enough to insure time
for Congress to vote to override
9 presidential veto If the bill
iS vetoed.

certain that Congress will ap-
prove pay raise legislation for

Still another possibility is
That, II Congress fails to over
ride q veto, then it still would
have q chance to pass swiftly
another pay raise bill, perhaps
one or two percentage points
below whatever original one
1t approves. This would be
more likely to be approved by
the President. And, should a
second veto occur, the chances
would then be good that Con-
gress this time would override
the veto.
