Health Care
Priority Set
By Kennedy

Pres. Kennedy will ask the
second session of Congress in
January to give "the highest
priority" to legislation provid-
ing health care for the elderly
as part of the social security
system.
The President described the
health care bill as zone of the
most important measures l have
advocated" He said he is "con-
vinced that only the social Sc
curity system can furnish salts
factory protection" against the
financial burden of illness in old
age.
Kennedy's pledge of an all
out fight for the Administration
sponsored, labor-backed King
Anderson bill was made in a
letter to Sen. Pat Mcnamara
/ (D-Mich.), chairman of the Sen
ate's Special Committee on Ag-
ing. Mcnamara had written the
President expressing concern
that little more than a start
had been made upon this neces-
sary legislation during the cur
rent session of Congress"
! While Kennedy had included
the proposal in his recommenda-
tions to Congress this year, con-
gressional action has been limit
ed to hearings before the House
Ways and Means Committee.
The committee has put off ac-
ton and Administration hopes
for bringing out a bill in the
second session are based on the
belief that the popularity of the
proposal-especially in an elec-
tion year-will overcome the op-
position led by the politically po-
tent American Medical Associa-
ton.
Kennedy replied that House
testimony "incontrovertibly es-
tablishes the need for the legis-
! lation" and that our national
responsibilities require prompt
and effective action" Medical
costs, he said, are "the greatest
of all threats to economic secu-
rity in old age" He added:
"The financial burden of i'll
ness and incapacity in later
years constitutes an ever-pres-
ent specter to almost every
family. Inability to meet the
costs of disqualification or home
care can destroy self-respect and
deny the right to dignity and
comfort after retirement"
T intend OF recommend that
this legislation be given the
highest priority at the next ses-
sion of Congress-"

Freeman Acts
To Wiring Out
Watered Ham

Agriculture Sec. Orville L..
Freeman has acted to squeeze
the water out of hams process
ed in federally inspected plants
reversing an action taken in
1860 by his Eisenhower Admin
istration predecessor, Ezra Taft
Benson.
Benson allowed producers to
inject 10 percent water into
hams - without labelling the
contents - after professors
complained that federally in
spected plants were having trou-
bic competing with local water
ed-ham professors.
Consumers protested loudly
and one of Freeman's first acts
was to schedule a public hear
ing on the controversial regula-
ton. The AFL-CIO at the time
urged that all hams be labeled
with the amount of water added.

During World War III the war
time service dates are December
z, 1941, to December 81, 1916.
He must have been discharged
under conditions other than dis
honorable.
Q-Has the CT loan guaranty
reuse provision been extended
for World War III veterans, and
if so, how long?
Ayes, Public Law "a by the
87th Congress extended the res
tOration privilege until July 25,
1867, for World War III veterans,
and until January 81, 1875, for
Korea veterans. The VA must
have been completely relieved of
liability and no claim may have
been made against it for the
previous loan, If restoration is to
be granted.
@. My son, a World War ii
veteran, was killed recently in
an accident. VA refused me
death compensation allowance.

cause I know other mothers
who are drawing death depen-

A. A dependent parent may
collect death compensation from
the VA only if the veterans
death resulted from a service
connected injury or illness.

New York. - Spokesman for
Metropolitan Opera musicians
and management, testifying on
proposals for a new contract,
share the opinion that some
form of government subsidy
would help the famed opera So
ciety solve its money troubles
over the long pull.
Pres. Herman Kenin of the
Musicians testified at an arbi-
tration hearing conducted by
Labor Sec. Arthur j. Goldberg
that union and management
must help secure governmental
assistance" for the performing
arts. Met Pres. Anthony A.
Bliss listed four ways to get
more income for the opera
subsidy, television brcadcasts. q

OF music recordings.

Q.-Because of my late hus.

payment Is this money subject
to federal income tax?
A-No.
Q-My husband is a war vet
eran and since his discharge
from active duty, he has worked
under social security. In plan
ming our insurance program, we
would like to know what burial
allowances would be payable.
Alt appears that a burial
allowance in your case may be
payble by either the VA, the So
Gil Security Administration, OF
both. The VA pays up to $3.50
to the funeral director, if he
has not been paid, or to the per-
son who pays the burial expen-
ses. The Social Security lump
sum payment equals three times
the workers benefit, but not
more than S255.
Q-My father, a World War
III veteran, died recently from
causes not connected with his
military service. In order fol
me to be eligible for a VA pen
sion, since | am unmarried and
not yet 18, what service require
ments must my deceased father
have fulfilled?
A-Your father must have
had at least 80 days service, part

Nets difficulties were clearly
discernible 10 to 20 years ago,
the AIM president said the un-
ions warnings have been treat
ed as a "voice crying in the
wilderness of official and public
Indifference"
The negotiators, Kenin said,
must not only ENSURE another
brief span of life" for the Met
but also must lay the ground
work for "sorely needed legis-
lation" to bring "the kind of
governmental assistance that al
most every other nation of the
world" has afforded the per-
forming arts.
Bliss told Goldberg that Met
management is supporting eff
forts by civic and government
leaders to obtain government
assistance to the opera.
Pres. Alfred J. Manuti of
AIM Local 802 said the union
believes its original proposals
were justified but has, in a de-
sire to save the season, scaled
down its wage proposal to $22C
a week.
The Met has minimum scale
of $170.13 a week but offered
to raise it to SITE a week fol
the first year of a three-yeai
contract, $3.50 for the second
and third years. The union said
bluntly that these pay schedules
were inadequate for highly
trained musicians.

Said Schoemann, president of

"What the AFL-CIO seeks to-
day is a program that would
restore each occupationally in
jured worker to his maximum
physical and mental capacity,
with whatever retraining is nee
essary to return him to useful
service to society. These goals
are not idle dreams. They are
practical and attainable."

ceremonies in Milwaukee's War

workmen's compensation stamp

the Wisconsin law as the first
of a series recognizing "those
humanitarian principles which

Now. Mr.. Chairman, we are on the verge of buying a
concrete barge that is supposed to be capable OF being tied
to- dock and used as such and also as a water breaker and
aethe same time it is supposed to be able to store 3,OOO,OOO
gallons Of water. No survey on this piece OF equipment
has been presented to the Legislature and ! haven't heard
from any authority as to the condition OF the barge,
whether it is good or if it is in bad shape. wouldn't pass
money for the purchase of this equipment unless | had
more details on it.
AS far as am concerned, Mi. Chairman, these barges
were built during the war to meet a specific purpose and
for a definite period Of time. A number OF these barges
were taken and sunk aruond the harbors OF different
countries like lie Havre, France; Cherbourg, France and
also in Gibraltar to make BreakWaters because it was
found that they cannot be propelled too long and they are
capable of no other use. And, in my opinion, to spend S1UO,
600 on a Barge, Mr.. Chairman, is not as worthwhile as
using that a money to build more storage tanks for our
water supply, our salt water supply for fire prevention
and for flushing of toilets. / think we can build the same
amount Of storage space on this island to store our rain
fall of water that can supply this community.
That was nv reason, Mr.. Chairman, for voting mo"
don't want it to be another tug and water barge folly
for the Island of Saint Thomas.

one comment in regard to Senator Reeses remarks, and
that is to make a correction. The total amount is $lOO,OOO
and not 100000.
