The medical care plan
cleared by the seth Congress
may mean that Virginia will
help thousands more Of its
aged with their health costs.
In the District and Mary
land the new law at first simply
will allow present programs
aiding older citizens to con-
tinue at half the current cost
to local taxpayers. Eventually,
the programs may be extended.
This will be the probable eff
feet Of the legislation In the
Washington area, according to
welfare officials interviewed
yesterday.
It has a twofold purpose:
First, to increase payments to
persons over 65 drawing old
age assistance, and, second, to
help others of the same age
who have enough money to live
on. but not enough to cover
spot medical costs-such as
new glasses and false teeth
ur the financial burden of pro-
longed illnesses.
Virginia aged are likely to
keneflt most by the law. Now
they get no publicly financed
medical care unless they enter
nursing homes or ask for extra
money in their relief checks.
Both the District and Mary
land have million-dollar pro-
grams Offering free medical
services to needy citizens who
are not on relief, as well as to
those who are.
Aid Differential Noted
Also, Virginia is due for a
bigger cut Of Federal aid than
the other Jurisdictions. The
Federal Government will put
up 80 per cent of the cost if
Virginia contributes the rest.
The District and Maryland will

Machinery already exists in
the District to implement the
plan. 1t was established several
years ago, and since aban-
doned, to let the District well
fare Department reimburse the
Health Department., with the
help of Federal money, for
medical care of relief recipients.
In practice, the District
Commissioners found it sim-
pier to channel District tax
money into the Health Depart
ment to cover these costs. The
Welfare Department keeps the
Federal share of those costs.
Under the first part Of the
new plan-added aid for per-
sons drawing old-age assistance
the District Welfare Depart
ment probably will continue to
keep the Federal share.
way Nceu NeW Law
The District may need new
local legislation to qualify for
added payments. Anyone here
drawing medical aid now must
have lived in the District for
one year. The new law speci-
flcally bars residence time as a
requirement for eligibility for
the added medical help. Dis
trict lawyers are studying the
law to see If the District will
have to ask Congress to lift
the current one-year residence
requirement from local law in
order to channel Federal funds
to the needy.
Under the second part Of the
new law-new aid for persons
not on relief-the Welfare De-
partment wants to contract
with the Health Department as
its agent" Health officials
would give services-at District
General Hospital, through med
.ical charity payments to pri-
vate hospitals and by home
calls. The Welfare Department.
would receive from HEW the
Federal share of costs Of needy
not on relief. .sA
Welfare then would pay
Health for its administrative
costs and for the medical sup
plies it has to buy.
Persons to receive health, at
least at first, would be those
who meet a present standard
Of need. This standard was
adopted by the Commissioners
three years ago and is the
basis of the Health Depart
ment's. existing program of
medical care for nonrelief
needy.
Age 65 Is Key
Maryland also has such q
standard. Virginia will need to
draw one UP.
Administrators now are Gull
ing their records to find out
how many of the medically in
digent receiving services now
are over 65. Only money used
for their services will be
matched federally, under the
new program.
Locally, officials still are at
q loss to know how much
money will be coming in.

receive only so per cent Fed
eral aid. The difference In
matching amounts stems from
the lower per capita income Of
Virginians.
Nobody knows how many
persons will benefit. Congress
sional sponsors estimated that
about 100000 older citizens in
the District, Maryland and Vir-
ginia could use some help to
defray medical costs.
The number who actually
will receive aid will be less by
hundreds Of thousands.
The extent, Of the services Is
to be determined by the States.
Area officials hope to confer
within the next few weeks to
agree on a program. District
welfare and health officers will
make their recommendations to
the Commissioners. The State
Governors will determine the
programs to be followed
throughout Maryland and Vir-
ginia.
Standards to Vary
The Health, Education and
Welfare Department viii make
Federal funds available once it
approves State plans. Federal
administrators have indicated
they will go along with a wide
variety Of State standards.
If programs are narrow it will
not be because Of Federal re-
strictions, but because Of the
lack Of local funds to finance
broader services.
George Narer1sky. regional
co-ordinator for HEW, with
headquarters in Charlottesville,
Va, will advise the two States
and the District on the plan.
The law goes into effect Oc-
tober /. BY that time, the Dis
trict's acting welfare director,
Donald Brewer, hopes to begin
receiving new Federal aid.

for political office support the existence of the
State of Israel.
The two presidential hopefus Senator John K. Ken
nedy and VicePresident Richard M. Nixon have given
their views about Israel and its relationship to the
Middle East in campaign speeches to the Zionist Organi
cation of America convention held the latter part of

regarding the free passage of ships through the Suez
Canal eff Americas word to the world to have any

Vice President Nixon in his August address said
of the policies he believes the U. S. should follow to
meet these problems is Strong unceasing efforts to
establish freedom of passage through the Suez Canal
and put end to discriminatory practices throughout
the area"
AS from their statements both believe in free
dom of passage of ships through the Canal.
The United States, past and presently, has had
double standard toward Middle Eastern nations. On

If it is difficult for Americans to figure out what

of the Middle East to do this.

to do something about the discriminatory practices
