President Kennedy and his
administration have tossed
the Anderson-King bill for
medical care Of the aged, fl
nanced through an increase
in the Federal Social Secur-
ity tax, into the coming con-
gressional campaign as a
major issue. The President
and his aides contend that
only through this measure
can the aged-persons over
SIS years of age-receive the
medical care they need and
cannot pay for. He addressed
1900 elderly persons in
Madison Square Garden in
New York on the subject last
Sunday, an address that was
nationally televised. 1t was
not labeled q political talk,
but political implications are
wide, considering the fact
that there are millions of
voters in this country over 65
years of age. The President
not only was endeavoring to
rally public opinion for this
measure but also was bring
ing pressure on every member
of Congress to support it.
How effective his drive will
be remains to be seen. That
it has large political poten-
tiality-like other social pro-
grams-is undeniable.
There seems to be no secret
about the Presidents effort
to put the Republicans in a
hole. If he can get q vote in
the House and Senate during
the present session Of Con-
gress, a vote in which a large
majority of the Republicans,
or even a mere majority, are
shown voting against the
Anderson-King bill, it may be
a valuable asset to Demo-
cratic candidates.
President Kennedy, aside
from the political angle, of
course, wants to do something
for the aged in this country
who need medical care. In
this he is not alone. Indeed,
even the Republicans who do
not like the Anderson-King
bills method Of supplying aid
to the aged also believe that
the old people should have
proper care. Former President
Eisenhower, still regarded as
the principal spokesman for
the G. o. p. does not believe
in the method Of having
m e dical care financed
through increased social Sc
curity taxes. He and other
Republicans-and also many
Democrats-are against this
idea. They prefer the Kerr
Mills law, already on the
statute books. through which
medical care for the aged is
provided through Federal
grants Of funds, to be
matched by individual States.
This measure was enacted
into law in 1860.
Earlier Plan Working
More than a score of States
and territories already have
entered into arrangements
with the Federal Government
and have adopted programs
for medical care for the aged
under this law. Others are in
the process Of doing so.
Among these participating
States are New York, Cali
fornia, Pennsylvania. Massa-
chusetts, Michigan and Con-
necticut. That these programs

Speaker Denies
Kennedy Rift

BOSTON,, Feb. 2 (AP).-
House Speaker Mccormack,
Democrat of Massachusetts,
says "a close friendship" exists
between himself and President
Kennedy.
Speaking last night at a tes-
timonial dinner in honor of his
nephew, Massachusetts, Attor-
ney General Edward j. Nc
Cormack, jr., the Speaker said
There is close and strong CO.
operation on my part with
President Kennedy and on his
part with me-"
There never has been other
than close friendship between
u.s." he added.
Mr.. Mccormack apparently
was referring to Washington
reports of a rift between the
Speaker and the President over
the expected battle for the
Democratic nomination for the
United States Senate seat in
Massachusetts,.
The younger Mccormack and
Edward M. Kennedy, the Pres
ident's brother, are expected to
be candidates for the nominal
ton. Young Kennedy is an
assistant district attorney in
Suffolk County (BoSton).

Hopes of u. S.
AT Conference

We had before us a number
j questions. If one were to
ask what the United States
hoped might come out of that
meeting, I might just remind
you briefly of the four points
that mentioned in my open
ing address to the Ministers of
Foreign Affairs of the Inter-
American Republics.
I urged first that we must
recognize that the alignment
If the government of Cuba with
the countries of the Sino-Sovi-
II bloc and its commitment to
extend Communist power in
Ibis hemisphere are incompat-
bile with the purposes and
principles of the Inter-Ameri-
can system, and that its cur
rent activities are an ever
present and common danger
70 the peace and security OF
The continent.
Second, we urged that we
should now make the policy
decision to exclude the Castro
regime from participation in
he organs and bodies of the
thter-American system.
Third, that we must inter-
rupt the limited but significant
flow of trade between Cuba
and the rest of the hemisphere
especially in the traffic ir
arms. And with respect to the
traffic in arms, although we
know that none of the mem.
oers of the hemisphere is sell.
ing arms to Cuba, traffic, il
.icit traffic in arms, from Cuba
20 other countries, is going on
and we intend to interrupt
that traffic.
And fourth. that we should
establish some cooperative
machinery to make it possible
for us to work together to meet
political and indirect aggres.
sion mounted against the hem.
sphere, and in that connection
We urge the establishment Of 6
Special Security Committee tt

ective measures to the gov.

Unity on Custer
From Defense Board

In a case where the legal
problem did not seem to appear
to anyone, for example, in the
case of the Inter-American De-
Tense Board, which had been
created by the Foreign Minis
tiers and therefore was at the
disposal of the Foreign Minis
tiers, there was unanimity that
the present government of
Cuba should be ousted from
that board.
In the case of economic re-
lations, we used primarily the
formula which had been used
in the case of the Dominican
Republic. We Immediately sus-
pended trade in arms and i'm
plements of war, and then
charged the Council of the Or
ganization of American States
to study the matter further and
to make recommendations as to
the possibility of extending this
ban to other items, with special
attention to items of strategic
Importance. That resolution got
16 votes.
There were four abstentions
and it is my impression that
| the abstentions were based
upon the hope that the priority
given to items of strategic i'm
portance would be made eff
fective and that trade relations
which had to do with the health
or the basic situation of the
Cuban people themselves would
not be unduly affected.
There is no question that the
present government of Cuba
was and is isolated in this
hemisphere. They were moi
Joined by any other government
on the negative votes which
they cast against all of these
resolutions. 1t is also useful tc
recall that on the last day oil
the conference, they themselves
demonstrated the notion oil
withdrawal. self exclusion by
taking themselves out of the
conference.
Now, we had some difference,
on which considerable time was
spent, but there was not ar
effort to impose solutions. Thi:
was a negotiation among indie.

afternoon from a meeting Of
the Foreign Ministers of the
Organization of American
States at Punta del Este in
Uruguay. I do not have a for
NAL and prepared statement
but I should like to make a
few comments before we begin
our questions.
The general subject of that
meeting was the problem OF
Communist penetration in this
hemisphere, with particular at
tention to the situation of Cas-
tro Cuba. Although we were
very much preoccupied by the
problem of Communist pene-
tration, there was no question
whatever that the foreign
ministers appreciated the fact
that the great task of the hem
lsphere lay not in these defen-
sive questions but rather in the
great creative effort in front
Of us in building in this hemi-
sphere vital democracies which
will make such penetrations
impossible.
came away from that meet
Ing with a profound sense of
the unity Of the hemisphere on
this problem, and with the
enormous movement which has
occurred in the last-say, 1S
months, in recognizing the ma
ture of the problem and the
Importance of moving as a
hemisphere to try to deal with
it more adequately.

HS1 OSNs
There was. for example, q
unanimous resolution on the ma.
ture of the Communist Of
fensive in Latin America.
Then, by 10 votes, we estab-
lished a special Consultative
Committee on Security, work.
ing under the Council of the
Organization of Americ a n
States. There was a reaffirma-
tion of the holding of free cleo
ton.
There was a unanimous re-
affirmation of and Stimula-
ton to the Alliance for Pro-
gress, as free mems answer to
the problem of economic and
social development, rather than
a Castro Communist kind of
solution.
We had some difficulty of a
juridical and technical nature
on the point of the exclusion
of the present government of
Cuba from participation in the
organs and bodies of the Inter-
American system.
I should like to comment on
that just a bit because it is,
think, understandable that at
tention is focused on points of
disagreement rather than on
major points of agreement
There was unanimity, as re-
corded by votes, with two gen.
eral ideas. That is that Marx
ist-LeniniSm is incompatible
with the mter-American sys-
tenn and that the present
government of Cuba Is incom-
patible with that system.
In our talks, discussions and
negotiations, it was entirely
clear that there was unanimity
on the broad notion that this
incompatibility was inconsist.
ent with or contrary to the
participation Of the present
government of Cuba in the
organs and bodies of the Inter
American system.
How to give effect to that
general conclusion did lead tt
a discussion of some very i'm.
portant but highly Technical
jurisdical questions.
