Propaganda Fight

A running propaganda battle
has been waged since Mr.. Ken
nedy began Pumping early last
year for the King Anderson bill,
named for its leading congress
sional sponsors, Representative
King of California and Senator
Anderson of New Mexico, Demo-
Gratis.
But all the previous sallies were
seen as mere skirmiShes when,
last week, the battle was really
joined.
The President led the offensive
at a huge Madison Square Garden
rally in New York, one of 33 such
gatherings sponsored by the Ma
tional Council of Senior Citizens
for Health Care Through Social
Security. He spoke over the three
Nationwide TV networks of
some ATS stations free of charge.
Mr.. Kennedy blasted the ANA
opposition to the bill, saying he
could not recognize it from the
associations description of it, and
said that many citizens who have
written their Congressman to
oppose it were wholly misin-
formed"
His main point was that the
bill was not aimed primarily at
helping those who could not af-
ford any hospital treatment, but
rather would help those who save
and work and then get hit" with
big medical bills, perhaps, in the
process, torpedoing their plans for
the education of their children.
The next day, the 100000
member ANA, over one TV net
work, at cost of $4,000, replied.
The doctors group called the ad-
ministration plan "cruel hoax"
which would leave uncovered
about 4 million of the more than
16 million persons over 65-those
who are not now under social
security.

Americans and two Russians
have successfully orbited the earth.
AS for the knowledge gained
which might be considered an
add-on to that obtained in the
Glenn flight, we will have to
await the study Of the mountains
of data available to the NASA
experts.
There should, however, be new
information as a result of the
visibility experiment in which a
balloon was trailed out Of the
Carpenter capsule. And the as
tronaut proved that there is no
difficulty in eating and digesting
bite-siZe chunks of solid food
while in a state Of weightlessness.
Perhaps more will be learned
also about the business of weight
lessness itself. Comdr. Carpenter,
like Col. Glenn. apparently felt
no i'll effects during the three
trips around the world. On the
other hand, it is remembered that
Soviet Cosmonaut Gherman Titov
suffered nausea on his 17-orbit
flight.
What Col. Glenn said after his
own achievement may be said
with the same appropriateness in
the wake of the Carpenter success.
These are the building blocks
upon which we shall build much
more ambitious and more produc-
tive portions of the program. :.
Our efforts today are small build
ing blocks in a huge pyramid"
Just what is next for the Mer-
curry program is under study.
NASA may decide on one more
three-orbit flight or move ahead.
as many observers predict, to a
17-orbit, 24-hour trip.
Then will come the Gemini two
man and Apollo three-man flights
in the next few years and, as a
climax, the flight to and landing
on the moon and return. The lat
ter could come as early as 1868.

Moving Grain

Last week. the Kennedy admin
istration decided it was time to
begin moving Government grain
out Of Estes West Texas ware
houses-43 or more million bushels
of it.
Mr.. Kennedy told his news con-
ference that 1--WE are moving iY
(the $50 million worth of grain)
out with more speed-out of this
terminal-than we would out of
others because of all the circum-
stances surrounding the case"
But Republican Senator Hicken-
looper of Iowa failed to see any
speed in a plan which would take
IL months to accomplish. He
jumped all over the administra-
ton, complaining that Iowa grain
storage operators were not treated
so well and that the Kennedy plan
for Estes would result in a SIS mil
lion gift TO the bankrupt Texans
creditors.
Perhaps the most shocking de-
velopment in the Estes case last
week came after a pathologist
completed his examination of the
exhumed body of Henry H. Mar
shall, an investigator for the Texas
State Agriculture Sterilization and
Conservation Office. Mr.. Mar
shall was found dead on his farm
near Franklin. Tex, last June 3.
A justice of the peace ruled 1t was
a suicide.

Fantastic Increase

Since Hong Kong can be
reached easily, and since it is
larger, it has been the hungry
Chinese's main hope. The popu-
lation increase in Hong Kong,
from 100000 in 1946 to 100000
in 1861, indicates the extent of
this migration.
China's attitude toward Hong
Kong has been ambiguous from
the beginning. Generally it has
tried to discourage its people from
trying to escape, but has taken
no steps to end Britain's control
of the valuable port.
Most economists believe that
China needs Hong Kong's markets
as a source of foreign capital, so
badly needed to buy such neces-
sites as wheat. But Hong Kong,
however, is also used as a safety
valve.
Observers have noted that
whenever tensions in southern
China became grave, the Chinese
authorities have allowed-if not
encouraged-some of the peasants
to emigrate to Hong Kong or
Macao. But they never before
allowed so many Chinese to leave
as they did this month.

Waste Charged

DR.. Edward R. Annis, main
ANA speaker, said the King
Anderson bill "wastefully covers
millions (including millionaires)
who do not need it," and added:
1T will lower the quality and
availability of hospital services
throughout the country. 1t will
stand between the patient and
his doctor. 1t will serve as the
forerunner of a different system
of medicine for all Americans.
The AMA's big fear is that the
bill would be a step toward So
cialized medicine. 1t favors the
present Mills-Kerr Act, passed in
1860, as desirable supplement to
zone of the greatest social ad-
vances of our generation the
spectacular growth of private, VOL
untary health insurance systems"
to which more than SO per cent
of those over IS already belong.

medical care to the needy ad-
ministered by the States.
The President, who last week
also turned loose his cabinet guns
Vice. President johnson and
Secretaries Goldberg, Ribicoff
and Hodges-in support of the
bill, lashed out at the ANA sew
eral more times during the week.
Meanwhile, several Republican
Senators, such as Capehart of
Indiana and Hickenlooper of
Iowa, and G. o. P. National Chair
man William Miller accused Mr..
Kennedy of trying to fool the
people by plugging his hoSpitali-
zation plan as a medical care
plan. They noted that the bill
does not provide for the payment
of doctors fees.
Former President Eisenhower
also reiterated his opposition to
the compulsory aspect of the
plan, with its financing under
Social Security.

No Compromise

Both of the main contending
forces are adamant in their posi-
tions. Neither has even limited
it would accept a compromise.
Some compromise plans, however,
have been advanced. One, ad-
vocated by Gov. Nelson A. Rookie
feller and Senator Javits, Re-
publicans from New York, would
provide individuals an option to
take Social Security coverage or
receive direct payments to buy
their own hospital insurance from
private companies.
The Governor and the Senator
have as much as said that Mr..
Kennedy could have a bill if he
would compromise and that if he
chose not to it would be an indi-
cation he was more interested in
building a political issue for next
falls campaigns than in helping
the old people.

Red China is the United States
prime enemy in the Far East?
Many voices were heard urging
that the United States do some
thing for the hungry. Yet, there
were many realiStS who asked if
the United States really could al
leviate the situation. And there
were many who said it was in
Americas national interest not
to do anything. Why even in
directly make life easier for the
Peking government?
President Kennedy announced
at his press conference that he
had approved the early admittance
into this country of about 5000
Hong Kong residents on special
viSas. These were not current
refugees, however, but long -eStab-
lished, well-to-do Chinese for the
most part. He said the United
States would continue to supply
Hong Kong with surplus wheat,
but made no commitment regard
ing Red China. He said the Red
Chinese have not asked for any.

Iron Discipline

And yet, Peking has shown an
iron discipline when necessary. If
it patches up its quarrels with

probably weather another eco

The church is located at the foot
Of Anderson Oittle) Mountain
just off the Maiden-Denver High
way. The church had its origin in
1854 and at that time was a union
church. Later only Baptists and
Methodists held services alternat-
ing from Sunday to Sunday. For
many years the church was known
as Lebanon In the year 1900 the
Baptists decided to erect build
ing of their own and they chose
Mountain View as the name of the
church while the Methodists re-
tanned the name of Lebanon. The
two churches are less than mile
apart. The church was first or
ganized under the leadership OF
Dave Pannell and Josiah Suttle.

Sou. 500 Race
Goes To Frank,
Not Johnson

DARLINGTON, S. C. - A re-
check of scorecards, prompted by
protests from two drivers, made
Larry Frank of Greenville, S. c.,
the winner of Mondays 18th an
nual Southern 500 late model
stock car race.
Frank and Dick Petty of Ran
dleman, N. c., complained to
race officials after Junior John
son of ROnda, N. c., was de-
clared the winner shortly after
the race ended in late afternoon.
Six and one-half hours later,
NASCAR's chief scorer, Joe Ep-
ton, said there had been a mis-
judgment in the number fo pit
stops made by the drivers. This
led to the erroneous addition of
lap, he said.
Frank, first declared a fourth
place finisher, thus became the
winner - more than a lap ahead
of Johnson.
DRIVES FORD
Frank, driving a Ford, picked
up more than $4,000. He also set
a new speed record. The exact
speed was not Immediately report
ed by race officials but it obvious
ly exceeded Johnson's announced
speed of 117.926 m.p.h. Thus the
old mark Of 11788, set last year
by Nelson Stacy, was eclipsed
Stacy finished seventh Monday.
Johnson, in Pontiac, came in
second under the amended ruling
of the scorers, picking up about
$4,000.
Marvin Panch of Daytona Beach
Fla, in a Ford, got about $4,000,
while fourth place finisher Dave
Pearson of Spartanburg, S. c., in
a Pontiac, got about $500, and
Petty, fifth in a Plymouth, got
about $4,400.
Petty's cut was swelled because
he led for IT'S laps. A blown left
front tire four laps from the fin
ish, cost him the victor's share.
Petty picked up $25 for each lap
he led.
The Randleman, N. c., driver
also closed in on Joe Weatherly of
Norfolk, Va, who came in 18th,
in the grand national 1862 point
standings for the championship.
Weatherly has 24,222 points to
23,368 for Petty.
CAR BURNS
Johnny Allen of North WIKI
esbOrO turned his car over on
the second turn. His car stayed
on its top and slid spectacularly
down the steeply banked track
toward the infield, then burst
into flame. 1t was rs seconds
before Allen emerged, unscath-
ed.
Weatherly and Pearson collideu
on the first turn early in the race
out kept running. Bunkie Black
burn of Fayetteville, N. c., and
Oarel Dieringer of Charlotte col
lided halfway through the race,
and both cars were knocked out
of the running. Dieringer's car
caught fire but the blaze was
quickly extinguished.
Altogether, the caution flag was
out four times for a total of 27
laps. At the end of the race, %
cars still were moving on the
track.
The temperature was SO as a
capacity crowd of 10000 swelter-
ed in the sun. The track tempera-
ture rose to 145.
Glen (Fireball) Roberts of Day
tona Beach, Fla, led for the first
SO laps. Bobby Johns of Miami,
Fla, passed him. A few laps later
the motor on Roberts car blew
out. Altogether, the lead changed
nine times.
