Mr.. Kabalevsky is one of the

If there is anything to the
possibility that Washington

that act in his favor. too. This
is his third visit.
The first time when he was

Armed Forces entertainment
unit. A music major land foot
ball player at the University
of Illinois, he won his spot in
the service show by winning

There are indications that

There is every indication that
Mr.. Palmer will go far in show
business, for he is an astute as

The newspaper Soviet Cul-

the Russian retaliation by ac-
cusing the New York Philhar-
monic conductor of "tenden-

Health Benefits
For Aged Seen
Failing ginHouse

A key House Republican fore
cast failure today for a Demo-
Gratis effort to force a House
vote this session on Govern
ment-paid old-age health bene-
fits.
Representative Byrnes of Wis
consin, chairman of the House
G. o. P. Policy Committee and
a ranking Ways and Means
Committee member, made the
prediction in connection with
bill by Representative Forand,
Democrat of Rhode Island.
The Forand bill would give
Social Security pensioners up
to l20 days a year of hospi-
tai. nursing home and surgi-
cal care as an additional BEN
eht financed by Social Security
payroll taxes.
Mr.. Forand, who now lacks
the necessary votes. to get his
bill out of the Ways and Means
Committee, has announced he
VIII file a petition next week
to put the measure before the
House. The action would re-
quire the signatures of a ma
jority. or 219 of the 437 House
members.
I'll be surprised if he gets
over 100 signatures, and he
won't get that many if MEM
berS study what's in the bill"
Mr.. Byrnes told a newSman.
Follow FIemming Lead
Mr.. Forand. however, said he
expected to get a vote one way
or another this session.
Republicans followed the
lead of Secretary of Welfare
'SFlemming yesterday in blasting
the Forand bill as compulsory
health insurance"
They charged also that it
would discriminate against mil
lions of elderly persons who
lhave no Social Security protec-
ton, that it is not soundly
financed and that it disregards
the progress being made
through private voluntary in
surance programs.
Mr.. Byrnes, talking to news
men, said current priority
should be given to the needs
of persons who have no Social
Security protection. He advo-
Gated giving them at least the
present minimum retirement
benefit of $33 a month before
voting new benefits for persons
already covered by Social
Security.
He said the cost could be
paid out of the Treasury.
Federal State Aid Plan
"We've got IL million or
more people now over 70 years
old who get nothing out of the
Social Security system" he
said.
Mr.. Flemming. in a closed
door appearance yesterday
before the Ways and Means
Committee. said the admins
tration has under considera-
ton a plan of Federal State
subsidies to help low-income
persons bear the cost of private
health insurance. 1t would
apply to retired persons not
covered by Social Security, as
well as those drawing the bene-
fits.
But he made clear that no
agreement exists within the
administration over adoption
Of such a plan.
Informed sources said Vice
President Nixon-certain to be
the Republican presidential
nominee-has been insisting
the COP offer some alternative
to Mr.. Forand's plan.
While before the committee,
Mr.. Flemming repeatedly was
asked whether he had discuss
ed his health-insurance-for-
the-aged plan with Mr.. Nixon
He was said to have suggested
the questioner ask Mr.. Nixon
himself.
The Welfare Secretary was
understood to have declined,
on grounds of executive privil-
ege, to say whether he had
talked over the matter with
President Eisenhower.

Improvement of our islands

state that the legislative and

AS a result of this fine spirit
