LUeO1Cd1 care COStS.
The hesitancy stems from
three factors.
One is that last years Law
offering Federal m atchin 9
funds for medical aid to the
aged may be superseded By
President Kennedy's proposal
to expand social security tc
give the Nations aged re.
sources enough to obtain pri.
vate medical care.
Another involves an admin.
istrative decision about how te

The third, and perhaps major
consideration, is whether to ask
Congress to remove o one-yeal
residence requirement for the
needy elderly who may receive
medical services financed by
Federal and District money.

The medical aid to the indi-

This book review had its
inception several weeks ago,
when the compiler, q very
attractive young woman,
called with her first volume
Of 18th century recipes. It's
being published for the bene-
fit of Pohick Church, which
dates from 1863 and was the
home church for Mount Yer
non, Helvoir and Gunston
Hall.
This little volume is lin
tied to "Collations, ComfitS
and DRAINS" The Rambler
suggested that II she would
come up with q more sub
stantial recipe for George
Washington'S Birthday. he
would like to write q piece
about it.
So yesterday we met with
Frank F. Morse, the librarian
Of Mount Vernon, who has
been making 9 study Of the
food served at Mount Vernon.
What he has to 60 on are the
orders the colonel sent to his
factor in London, Q hand
written cookbook which
Martha Washington received
rs q gift from her first moth
er-in-law, Mrs. John CuStis,
and items found in journals
left by guests who had en-
joyed Mount Vernon hospi-
tality.
The cookbook which is in
the Division Of Manuscripts
Of the Historical Society Of
Pennsylvania in Philadelphia
is largely copies from two
18th century London cook
books, z. Smiths "The Com
pleat Housewife" and "Art Of
Cookery" by "A Lady" who in

Director Funcane.
He has asked District Com
missioners for funds in the
fiscal 1862 budget to analyZe
the need for medical care in
the non-relief group and the
i prudence Of lifting the resident
requirement. This pilot study
also would be directed toward
redefining eligibility standards
for elderly persons to receive
public help.
The District maintains Q
rather strict standard Of eligi-
bility. The 1860 law provided
that no person in need Of med
ical care he could not afford
should b. barred from using
Ifedarally matched funds be-
cause Of State standards Of
eligibility.
Possibly 100000
City officials figure that

would allow about 100000 Dis
trict residents to obtain public
medical service, but they do
not know how many Of these
zoe, 900 are over 65. The new
Federal matching funds are
available only for persons over
65.
The District Commissioners
have yet to receive a firm rec
ommendation from their staffs
on whether to proceed now on
an expanded medical aid to the

yesterday gave General Admin

operation. :.
The report claimed several
advantages in operating a COM
pletely automatic transit sys-
tenn:
With crew-operated trains,
labor costs usually require
longer trains at less frequent
intervals if the system is to
be operated economically. The
elimination of crews would be
an inducement to run trains,
sometimes single cars, at 90
second intervals.
Safety devices now being de-
veloped will make automati-
cally operated trains and sub
ways as safe as conventional
ones, eliminating the factor o.
human error as well.
Greater comfort for the rid
ing public could be expected
in the automatic operation.
Electronic devices would show
waiting passengers which cars
have available seats. The trains
would be air-conditioned.

Although the initial invest

costly. the saving in labor
would offset this expense.
Under the Mass Transporta-

fiHyed to two lines intersecting

TEN for downtown.
