IS years of age and over. By
1910 this number will be 20
million.
A new insecurity is gripping
our old folks and affecting the
lives of younger members of
their families. How can they
pay the rapidly mounting costs
of hospital care for the elderly
costs that have gone up fast
er than any other necessities
of life, and far more than re-
tirement incomes.
A look at the figures bears
out their fears:
Hospital costs have more
than tripled in the past Is
years. The bill for an aged per-
son now is close to $500 for the
average hospital stay. To add
to this gloomy picture, Stats
tics show that 9 out of 10 per-
sons reaching age 65 this year
will need disqualification in
their remaining lifetime, most

of them more than once. And
their stay in the hospital will
aver age Is days, which is longer
than the average hospital stay
of younger people.
Who must pay these hospital
bills? Surely not our old folks.
Half of them have less than
$1,000 a year. This is scarcely
enough to cover their food,
housing, and a few other
essentials.
Private health insurance pol
icies? Some old people have
them, but premiums for policies
in this age bracket are too ex-
pensive and protection woefully
inadequate, despite recent I'M
provements. As a result, many
put off going to the hospital
until it is too late or, in desper-
alton, turn to their children for
help.
But their children have the

responsibility of raising and
educating their own families
and can't carry the full burden
of costly hospital care. Do they
now in their thirties or for
ties-exhaust their own saw
ings, mortgage their homes,
borrow from friends or rela-
tives? Many do.
Too often, however, it is the
grandchildren who suffer most,
and it is their future which is
at stake. Today there are some
rs million children in this coun-
try who are under p. BY 1870,
this figure will rise to 95 mil
lion. None of these children
should be deprived of the edu-
cational opportunities to which
he is entitled.
Who, then, will pay the major
hospital costs of our parents?
Under President Kennedy's
program, it would be the rs
million wage earners who, in
the course of a year, contribute
to their own retirement bene-
fits through the Social Security
system. For only 81 a month
for the average worker and
an equa! amount from his en-
ploye., these persons not only
would make it possible for
their parents to receive imme-
diate health insurance benefits,
but would insure their own
health benefits after they reach
the age of IS and, in turn, make
certain they won't have to de-
pend on their children to pay
their hospital bills when they
get old.
This is a sound and simple
proposal which makes sense for
the entire family. In a subse-
quent article, I will give you
the details of the Presidents
Health Insurance Plan through

why is it the best answer to the

Friendly Chot

There was a certain "fireside"
quality to the Presidents get-together
last evening with three -television
reporters.
1t has been described as an unprec-
edented interview" which was not re-
hearsed and with no questions being
submitted in advance. Granting this,
the session still could hardly be de-
scribed as study in depth of the Ken
nedy administrations first two years.
This should not be taken as suggest
ing that no useful purpose was served
MIR. Kennedy was given an opportunity
to present his thinking and his achieve
lments under the most favorable condi-
tions, and he took full advantage of It,
Some of his comments were Illuminating
and revealing But the session cannot
realistically be described as an inter-
view-at least not in the sense in which
the questions are designed to bring out
the bad as well as the good in the record
Of this administration. There doubtless
will be more Of these cozy little sessions,
and the next one ought to include at
least one panel member who wants to
know where the bodies are buried.

In the Bahamas

Despite differences over the Skybolt
missile, there is ample reason to be con-
fident that Prime Minister Macmillan of
Britain and President Kennedy will at
tain a good meeting of minds at their
current summit" conference in the
Bahamas. Indeed, as they have indi-
Gated at several past get-togethers, they
are already quite we'll in tune with each
other, and 1t therefore seems likely that
they will bring harmony out of the pres
ent Anglo-American diScord in the field
Of weaponry.
In any case, speaking for himself,
Mr.. Macmillan has made clear that he
has no doubt that our two countries will
find a way through our difficulties" as
regards Skybolt, whose promise is decid-
edly and depressingly open to question
scientifically, economically and mill
tarily. Actually, the storm that has
boiled up over this issue in the United
Kingdom seems in many ways synthetic,
as II the professional and ever-busy
anti-American British groups were out
to do job on our country-without
thinking much, If at all, about the real
facts of the situation. The Prime Min
iSters statement, as expressed on his
departure for Nassau, has put the whole
matter in sound perspective.
AS matter Of fact, as he has init
mated, Skybolt probably will be only
subsidiary conversation piece during his
varied and significant talks with Mr..
Kennedy. Certainly there are more i'm
portant and more pressing issues. AS he
has put 1t, "At this moment after Cuba,
we have to try to make a reaSseSSment
Of the position between East and West.
Can the position be turned to our ad-
vantage? Is there chance Of getting
ahead with scme of these questions
nuclear tests, disarmament and other
matters?" And he has gone on to add:
IF there is to be a period of pause, of
thaw, we must not misuse it."
All Of which makes sense, the more
so in view Of events like Red China's
attack on India and the rift between
Moscow and Peking. Although one must
be on guard against over-Stating their
impact on history, these certainly are
developments Of high significance, and
they well deserve the most careful study
at the Macmillan Kennedy Bahama
talks. The dispute over Skybolt seems
most minor by comparison, and we dare
say that the Prime Minister and the
President have that fact well in mind
as their meeting begins.

Charles Louqhton

II to be uniquely and greatly gifted
is to be genius, Charles Laughton
qualified for that rare distinction. Mr.
Laughton, dead at SO, was splendid
actor whose most memorable work Just
happened to be in that far reaching
medium, the screen. He was blessed,
however, with more than the singular
skill that made memorable his Capt.
Bligh in "Mutiny on the Bounty" his
"Ruggles Of Red Gap" and so many
other films.
Mr.. Laughton also was a splendid
actor In the theater and a brilliant di-
rector in both film and drama. To
whatever he did, he brought a fresh,
distinctive, and distinguished touch
which left us all deeply in his debt.
Yet 1t could be that the public's
long, happy affair with Mr.. Laughton
was most rewarded by another OF his
gifts. This was highly developed taste
in literature, passionate appreciation
OF the Bible, Shakespeare, Shaw, and
others which made him want TO read
aloud TO all who would listen
Millions did listen to him and learn
from him. This may we'll have been his
greatest work and 1t always seemed his
greatest Joy In living.

Deliberate Speed

The local chairman Of the Civil Lib
critics Union, David Carliner, indicates
some intention Of seeking a court test
of the police practice known in this jur-
isdiction as arrests for investigation"
The result Of such test would be inter-
esting and perhaps helpful. To seek such
a test would be more constructive un-
dertaking on the part Of the Civil Lib
critics Union, at any rate, than pressure
tactics now being employed to badger
the Commissioners into adopting, forth
with, the recommendations Of the Hor-
sky Committee.
Those recommendations included
abandonment of the arrest for inveSti-
cation" practice. The Commissioners
favor such abandonment. But to aban-
don the practice without supplying the
police, by regulations or new legislation,
clearly defined procedures for necessary
interrogation in crime investigation
would be most unwise. The revelation,
in today's Star that a Supreme Court
advisory committee is studying the
questions of arrests and arraignments
adds another reason for delay. The find
ings of this committee should be helpful
The Commissioners are adopting the
policy of proceeding with deliberate
speed" in the solution Of a problem far
more complex than is pictured by those
who possess loud voices but minimum
responsibility in law enforcement.

There seemingly is no end to the
studies, negotiations and compacts pre-
liminary to the construction of the
southern portion Of the inner-loop free
way between the new Roosevelt Bridge
and the Southwest Freeway. 1t has been
two years since the Park Service came
up with a well-defined and widely ac-
cepted plan for the road, including an
elaborate tunnel beneath the Lincoln
Memorial grounds. A "final" decision
that the project would be built entirely
with Federal funds was reached 18
months ago. Now the Park Service, the
District and the Bureau of Public Roads
have signed another formal paper,
One of its provisions is, however,
that each agency will have veto power
over the actions of the others an
arrangement which, to say the least,
opens the door to future delays and
disagreement. And this raises the
question whether such extraordinary
conditions are really necessary. Well,
the answer, as frustrating as it might
be to motorists who want and need the
road, is that they probably are. For
this is no ordinary road. 1t passes
through an area where the Federal
values of the Nations Capital are second
in Importance to none in the city, and
where there truly are difficult problems
yet to be resolved. Hopefully, Engineer
Commissioner Clarke says that now
I'VE all understand each others prob
lems," that construction should begin
early in 1864 and end the following year.
If that is so, all of the delays
and skirmiShes of the last few years
will have been worth while. In the
final analysis, however, the success of
the new agreement will depend upon
whether each Of the principals who
signed it-Gen. Clarke, Parks Director
Wirth and Federal Highway Admin
istrator Whitton n continues to work
together with a reasonable amount OF
good faith and mutual trust.

Withholding Judgment

The National Capital Planning Com
mission showed good judgment in with
holding an opinion on the freeway cut
backs proposed by the National Capital
Transportation Agency until such time
as the detailed technical data on which
these proposals were based is made
available. Logically, 1t should have sus-
pended judgment as we'll on the rapid
transit segment Of the Meta plan, since
its justification also rests largely on the
still-undisclosed technical material.
Actually, however, the effect Of the
resolution in support Of the rail-tranSit
recommendation is, at best, murky. For
example, II Endorsed the $793-million
transit proposals "in principle"-a IA
vorite expression Of the planners which
traditionally has come to mean as much
or as little as the various members Of
the commission have desired. Further,
the resolution said that after the transit
program is approved (Which is to say
after the administration and, more i'm
portantly, the Congress, determines
whether or not the Meta plan is ac-
ceptable In the first place., its construc-
ton should proceed as rapidly as pos
sible in the interests Of economics
and service to the public"
What does all this boil down to2
Essentially, the Planning Commission is
acting In response TO request from the
White House for an opinion on the tran
sit proposals. And, II seems TO us, the
commission is saying that IL likes tran
sit, that 1t believes a substantial regional
transit system is essential, and that 1t
hopes that a specific program, when
and II authorized, will move ahead with
all due speed. These are sentiments
with which virtually everyone can and
should associate himself
Eventually, however, the question OF
Just where the proper balance lies be-
tween transit and highway facilities will
have to be answered And the analysis
Of this crucial question cannot even be-

Prods Patriots

One wonders about the
quality of political conserv-
atives in the vicinity of the
Nations Capital. Certainly
their capacity for zeal is far
below what it should be.
During my recent attend
ance at hearings of the House
Un-American Activities Com
mittee investigating tn e
Women Strike for Peace"
movement there was a re-
grettable lack of public sup
port for the committee. The
peace-loving women were out
in force to harass the pro-
ceedings and had the House
Caucus Room packed as they
wildly applauded their mem
bers who took the Fifth
Amendment in refusing to
answer committee questions
about their Communist Party
affiliations. For propaganda
effect, the jeering section in
cluded expectant mothers and
small children.
Once again, it turned out
that George Lincoln Rock
well and some of his Nazi
Party stormtroopers were the
only organized right-of-cen-
ter opposition known to be
in the hearing room. Where,
for instance, were the Young
Americans for Freedom, the
so-called action group of
conservative youth?
Patriots in the future
should not abandon the HUAC
hearings to the Reds, dupes
and fellow-travelers. The San
Francisco riots of May, 1860,
recall the most drastic ex-
ample. To skip classes one
day or take a few hours off
from work to support the
committee would be a sound
investment in helping to safe
guard the Nation.
