The day the front yard
fell in, my wife and I began
to entertain some nagging
doubts about living deep in
the bowels of the city IN a
charming. Early American
house.
Perhaps We we're a little
overly sensitive Just then be-
cause 1t was about the same
time the pipes froze and the
only reliable water supply
was melting ice dripping
through q leak in the roof.
We tried half-heartedly to
console ourselves about the
yard. The trouble was simply
that our Early American sewer
had sprung a leak. probably
sometime during the Grant
administration; and over the
decades our valuable subter-
ranean real estate had been
flowing out to Blue Plains.
1t was nothing $1,000 or so

a fight. We began by look

in the heart Of the city, and
we found any number that
were oozing with charm and
antiquity. But we also con-
cluded reluctantly that Early
American houses were built
to be lived in primarily by
Early Americans.

medical care for the aged under
Social Security. I have been re-
eeiying some mail on this and it
appears TO me that some people
are not fully aware of just what
this bill would actually accom-
plish.
First of all, il would increase
the present tax rate on a gradu-
ated basis over a period of years
20 all persons covered by Social
Security so that with the planned
increase for medical care toge-
Their with the increases already
established by past actions OF
Congress, namely the increase in
monthly payments TO the present
recipients, the tax will reach 9
Der cent of the first $500 earned
BY an employee. This, in addition
20 present income taxes, would
bring the average contribution
close TO 30 per cent Of the taxable
income.
Under the Medical Care Bill
the patient is required TO pay the
first SO of the hospital bill for
the first 9 days Of confinement or
simply stated Il is a 500 deduct
able provision. The maximum
benefit is for a period Of 90 days,
. so that in the event of an illness
were to require confinement in
a hospital for more than 90 days
the patient would be required to
nav all in excess Of that amount.
The bill also calls for the recip-
lent TO receive diagnostic services
at a hospital, but here again we
find a $40 deductible provision so
that the patient would have to pay
the first so Of the call
I also find reading the mail and
some of the reports that have
been circulated in the country a
great misunderstanding as 10 the
coyerage on doctor bills that
would be incurred by an illness.
THE BILL MAKES ABSOLUTE
-LY NO PROVISION FOR THE
PAYMENT ON ANY DOCTOR
BILLS.
We also find that even though
a person may be entitled 10 So

widow under the age Of 65, she
would not be entitled to any Of

gress. This law covers any needy
person and the Government pro-
vides a matching fund program
with the states so that those who
are actually in need may receive
not only disqualification but the
doctors fees as well The test
here which is not found in the
King-Anderson Bill is the test of
need. II was not the feeling of
Congress that a person who was
financially able to pay his own
costs should become a burden on
the taxpayers of this country.
Montana did not pass the en-
abling legislation in the last ses-
sion of the Legislature which
would allow participation in the
Kerr-Mills Bill, but il was evident
~ the opinion of the elected Of
ficials of the state that no case
had been made in Montana to
warrant this program. Yet, If in
the future the Legislature deems
il advisable, a program may be
adopted that would participate in
the sharing of costs. Some 30
States of the so have adopted en-
abling legislation. Perhaps the
best part of the Kerr-Mills Bill
is that il leaves control and dis
erection with the people in the
State who have an on-the-spot
knowledge Of the needs of an in
dividual as well as a better agency
TO supervise the expenditure of
the funds.

UGF Kickoff

There is good reason for the spirit
of optimism accompanying the official
kickoff of the United GiverS Fund cam
paign this week. Intensive organiZa-
tional efforts, under the leadership Of
Campaign Chairman william Calomiris,
began earlier than usual this year, and
already are showing encouraging prog
resS. The goal Of So, ,042 900, moreover, is
a realistic minimum, providing only
those additional funds for health and
welfare services which are required by
the constant expansion of our metro
politan community. This target exceeds
the amount raised last year by $471 900,
the precise amount, incidentally, by
which 1861 collections exceeded those
of the previous year. Thus, the 1862
goal will be reached merely by maintain
ing the increased rate of giving estab-
lished year ago.
That result, however, will require
that both substantial number Of new
contributors be found and that those
who have given generously to the fund
in the past maintain their support. We
are confident that they will. The one
shot UGF campaign is metropolitan
venture In every sense Of the term, with
about half of its proceeds returning to
the suburban areas. And there are few
families in the Washington region which
will not be affected in one way or an
other by the 143 separate agencies which
rely on the UGF solely for their success.

In q Reporters S Memory

Against the background Of last week
ends distressing events on the campus
of an honored Southern university, 1t is
fitting to speak a word Of commenda-
tion on one aftermath incident. Paul
Guihard, reporter for Agence France
Presse, died Of bullet wound in the
back while covering the rioting at the
University of Mississippi. Other newSmen
have met death before, in war or in
peace, while doing their jobs, and their
fellows in the profession have accorded
them sincere and proper tribute. In this
case, it is gratifying to read that the
univerSity'S student paper, The Missis-
sippian, is sponsoring a tribute that
will be lasting and Of particular mean
ing to the newspaper craft itself. 1t has
set up Paul Guihard Memorial Schol-
arship, with funds to be collected from
Ole Miss students and alumni to provide
scholarship aid to journalism students
at the Oxford school. Those who benefit
in time should remember that one who
shared their professional pride and in
tereSt did not die wholly in vain.

Lost Month

Commuters and shippers have good

long strike shutdown of the Chicago and
North Western Railway, one of the Ma

ing an area that is denSely populated
and is one of the country's busiest In
the movement of farm and industrial
products, the line is an essential public
facility in both regional and national
economic interest.
There is something more to be said,
however, than merely expressing salts
faction that the road is back in opera
ton. This was a strike of little justifi-
cation, baSically another example OF
railroad labor fighting progress and ef-
ficiency in the industry on which 1t
lives. 1t was the Order of Railroad
Telegraphers that sparked this strike,
because the development Of modern
communications has left little or no
need to man telegraph key along the
lines. In this case, as in many others,
the right of management to adjust its
employment rolls to its operational
needs was challenged by powerful
labor union.
It has taken a 30-day strike, costly
to everybody affected directly and in
directly, to reach agreement that issues

War on Narcotics

Inere was reaSSurlng uOIe III
President Kennedy's determination to
take new and fresh approach to the,
Nations narcotics problem. From his
carefully planned White House confer
ence came the substance Of ideas which,
incorporated into legislation, may In
time reduce the agony and crime in
herent in the drug traffic.
AS the President said, the Bureau
of Narcotics has performed admirably
in reducing the influx of drugs like
heroin. But the sad truth is that thou
sands of Americans still are enSlaved to
the habit; and there is yet no salts
factory method Of breaking the hold.
The two prison hospitals designated for
that purpose have tried hard. But
recent survey showed that 90 per cent
of 1000 treated in the Lexington (Ky)
hospital soon fell back into the old rut.
Mr.. Kennedy's conference, led by
himself and members Of his cabinet,
was attended by the Nations leading
narcotics authorities. Their diverse
opinions pointed up how much still
needs to be known on this subject. But

need for complete revision in concepts.
There seems to be agreement that
there shall be different treatment for
those who traffic In drugs, preying on
others, and those who become victims
of the drug habit Attorney General
Kennedy indicated that the next Con-
gress will be asked to enact sweeping
new laws, calling for civil commitment"
to hospitals Of drug addicts, and even
"pushers" who are not otherwise in vio-
lation of the laws. A pertinent part of
this plan would be parole system in
which the one-time addict would be
observed and assisted over the rough
spots.
President Kennedy is appointing a
committee of prominent citizens to lay
the groundwork for this legislation.
They also will work with Senate Gov
ernment Operations Subcommittee due
to investigate narcotics in November.
It would appear this is a good start
toward a new, enlightened program.
We hope the legislators do not overlook
a relatively recent and growing danger
the promiScuous sale of drugs such
as barbiturates, used in lieu of narcot-
les by many thrill-Seekers.
