Dear Sir:
Through your editorial of
May ii, / am fully aware of
your position on the proposal
that re-zoning should permit an
oil refinery and allied chemical
industries to locate near Smyr-
ma. Today | have received an
unsigned hand-out, presumably
prepared by the public relations
experts employed by the Shell
Oil Company and repeatedly en-
dorsed by several groups in
Smyrna and Clayton.
The fact that so much effort
has gone into presenting Shell
Oil in a good light is strong
evidence that there is more

Help For Those
Who Need Help

The Welfare Council OF Del
aware submitted its report on
hospital care of the aged to
Governor Carvel last week. 1t
contained a number of surpris-
es for those of us who have
seriously wondered whether a
system of medical care for the
aged under social security is
justified.
The report was undertaken
at the request of Governor
Boggs shortly after Congress
passed the Kerr-Mills law in
September, 1860. This law,
which offers the states match
ing federal grants for medical
care to those aged in need of
help, has been pushed by med
ical societies and hospital as
sociations as better approach
than social security. Its back
ers say that it guarantees help
to people not covered by So
cial security, and prevents tax
ing low income workers
through social security to help
aged patients who are fire.
quently able to take care of
themselves. Social Security
proponents say the need for
help is general enough to just
ify an almost universal tax
and-benefit program.
The big question, it seems
to us, has been how general
the need really is. The We'll
fare Council has supplied
some answers.
Operating from complete in
formation on $3.50 of hospital
lied patients over 65 during
calendar 1859, the Council
found that $500 of these could
pay their hospital bills. Anoth-
er 800 were on old age assist
ance, with some payment
made on their behalf through
the Levy Courts. 1l% were
sick and simply too poor to
pay. OF all the patients, more
than half had disqualification
insurance.
The survey was limited to
Delaware, and may or may not
reflect the national picture. So
far as we know, no other state
has studied its situation so
thoroughly. However, no one
can attack the validity of such
a broadly-based investigation,
and we in this state can draw
some conclusions from it:
Hospital insurance, which is
growing rapidly, has already
extended itself to more than
half our oldsters.
1t is not necessary for Della
wareans who need hospital
care and who can't afford it to
go without. The hospitals do
care for these people, although
obviously the bill must be
passed along somehow.
Most Importantly, the need
of the elderly for hospital sub
sides is not general. Payment
by or on behalf of 9 out of 10
over-65 patients is now being
made. There seems to be no
reason to tax other groups,
some of them worse off, to
provide payments without an
indication of need. Social Sc
curity Medical Care is not
called for in Delaware. A
Kerr-Mills program, helping
only those who need help, will
do the job. We hope the Gen
eral Assembly will see fit to
enact such program as soon
as possible.

the Democratic and Republican
congressional wives clubs have
signed petition asking that the
House and Senate recess for a
few weeks each summer, and
then return to complete the ses.
sion in the fall.
The proposal, which has also
been introduced in the form of
legislation by 33 senators,
sounds SO sensible as to require
almost no explanation.
Except during presidential
election years, Congress has
been sitting straight through
the heat of the summer, seldom
recessing before LABOR Day,
and frequently thereafter.
Just as the legislators, weary
to the point of complete exhaus-
ton, head for their home dis
tricts to mend political fences,
their wives return to Washing
ton to put the children back in
school.
On the human" side of the
equation, congressional chill
dren are denied their fathers
company practically from June
until Christmas each year.
Their mothers are husbandless
for an equal stretch. Even the
wives without Sabotage chill
dren are unable to plan a vaca-
ton, because of uncertainty.
On the political" side, over
tired lawmakers inevitably jam
through unwise laws in the re-
lentless summer rush for adj
journment. The executive
branch of government is also
unable to plan vacation scehd-
ules, until the purse-holding
legislators have adjourned.

ends in the September heat, sew

UPI Foreign News Analyst

NEW YORK UPI A New
York real estate executive adj
vocates federal long-term loan
and research grant program as
solution for the nations COM
muter transportation problems.
Urban traffic congestion and
the breakdown in commuter
transportation systems are
threatening the economic health
and vitality of Americas metro
politan areas.
And, according to Morris
Karp, president of Realty Equi-
ties Corp, it has reached a
point where it no longer is a
problem whether or not private
railroads make a profit but
whether our cities can afford to
see them mot" make a profit.
To Get Worse
Writing in the company's
monthly newsletter, Karp said
that rs our suburbs grow the
problem of getting the people
to and from work is becoming
more difficult because Of snar-
ling traffic congestion and COM
pletely inadequate rail transpor-
tation systems.
The situation can only get
worse he declared, noting that
by 1870 expectations are that
three out Of four Americans
will be living in metropolitan
areas.
There are an estimated 50O,-
coo commuters today, the bulk
of which reside in the most crit
ical areas-New York, Chicago,
Boston and Philadelphia. And,
Karp said, Washington, D. c.,
Los Angeles and Cleveland soon
will become hopelessly clogged
with auto traffic unless better
rail facilities are developed.
Federal Program

that the government is spend.

roads, $50 billion on urban re-

on housing loans, utilities

nothing on trying to solve the
transportation mess which could
very well spoil the good these
billions accomplish.
The commuter problem stems
from the huge growth in popu.

remain with the 49ers but that he
is definitely interested in more
money. The 49ers gave Owens his
start in pro football five years ago.

me from the 49ers is money" R. c.

to Vic Morabito (the teams presi-

IF we can agree to terms, then
I'll be back next year. If we can't,

has that beautiful coloring,
that way of wearing clothes
that make her look well
dressed no matter what she's
wearing.
Her wardrobe is uncompli-
Gated. She wears clothes to
the season, but never trick
clothes. She favors black &C
cessorieS.
She wears her dark hair in
a firm bouffant, and it sweeps
back in a graceful curve to
the nape of her neck.
Her cheekboneS are high,
like her sisters. Her dark
eyes are set apart, but not
so wide apart as Jacque-
lines.
Lees mouth is a Cupid'S
bow-but a longer, narrower
bow than Mrs. Kennedy's.
The Princess figure is
trimmer and Lee is an ever
so-slightly toned down, or
more finely drawn, version
of her 32-year-old sister.
Any Difference?
Being close to Americas
First Family, she obviously
does not like to discuss her
relatives in Washington, but

your life?" she replied:
Not really, I suppose. We

She smiled again. "I'm

"Were they hectic?"
In what way do you
mean?"
Did we-did the press

"Of course the telephone
