Soviet Union::.
New A-Tests

The Soviet Union announced
last night that 1t would launch
a new series of nuclear tests to
counter the current American
tests in the Pacific.
About 10 days ago, TaSs, the
official Soviet news agency, issued
a lengthy coment on the current
series of American nuclear tests.
The Tass statement said that all
Soviet tests were in answer to
American ones, and therefore:
Simple arithmetic proves that
the Soviet Union, which has car
ried out far fewer nuclear test
explosions than the Western
powers, had an indisputable right
to do so. In such conditions
not only moral principles and
right, but also the interests of
world peace and general security
demand that the Soviet Union be
the last to carry out lluclear
weapons tests"
This statement, as well as COM
ments made by Premier Khrush-
chev to visiting American journal
lists last week, indicated quite
clearly that the Soviet Union was
planning another round of tests.
Last nights announcement only
confirmed the predictions. The
Russian statement said the Christ
mas and Johnston Island blasts
have made reply Of Soviet nu-
clear tests inevitable" No date
was given for the new tests but
in the past, such a government
announcement usually was fol-
lowed quite soon by the COM
mencement of tests,

The Americas:
Coup in Peru

A military junta seized power
in Peru last week. As a result,
the United States suspended
diplomatic relations and eco
nomic aid to that country.
Victor Raul Haya de la Tore is
a member of that prominent fra
ternity of Latin American political
intellectuals who have done most
of their reading and issued most
of their proclamationS from be-
yond their countries borders, or
from carefully concealed under
ground headquarters.
Mr.. Haya de Ia Torres first
bags were packed in 1923 when he
led student riot against Augusta
B. Leguia, one of a series of Peru
Wan dictators. Forced to leave the
country, Mr.. Haya founded the
ALBANIA Popular Revolucionaria
Americana in Mexico in 1924.

Moves Up Fast

Mr.. Kennedy hand-picked the
general TO study our intelligence
apparatus after the Cuban in
vasion Topped. Later, he became
the Presidents personal military
adviser. And last Friday came an
ironic promotion to the top post
in the jos itself.
By contrast, Gen. Lemnitzer's
star seems to have waned ever
since the Cuban adventure, for
which he was partly blamed. Now
So, he is not expected to serve
long in the NATO post.
The success Of the Nike Zeus
anti-rocket missile last week was
an extra flip to Gen. Taylor's
career. He has long advocated a
crash program to develop this
weapon.
Gen. Earle g. Wheeler, Gen.
NorStad's brilliant deputy, will
take over as Army Chief of Staff
for a two year term succeeding
Gen. George H. Decker, due to
retire in September.
A minor sour note was sounded
in France over the new NATO
appointment. Although some
sources indicated Gen. Lemnitzer
would be formally named by the
NATO council Tuesday. President
de Gaulle's office said this was
not true. 1t implied the Council
would not be rushed in the matter.

But the greatest single force
against medicare was the Amer
lean Medical Association, a pow
erful and influential bloc whom
lawmakers have come to regard
with respect, if not fear. The
ANA called the medicare plan a
start down the road to socialized
medicine. The ANA president, DR..
Leonard w. Larson, charged 1t
would make the HEW Secretary
the car of American medicine"
And the ANA that asserted the
bill, offered last week by Senator
Anderson, Democrat of New Mex
clio, would cost far more than
the administrations estimate of
$2.5 billion by 1890.
The United States is not unique
in seeking National medical care
program. Sweden, Great Britain
and West Germany are among Eu-
ropean countries with plans COW
ering all age groups. In fact, Of
ficials of the three major British
parties agree it would be political
suicide to try abolishing that ma
tons health service now.
Nevertheless, the ANA has ar
gued here that linking any health
care scheme to social security
would be the camels nose under
the tent. 1t is the future widening
OF Federal controls that many
critics fear most.

There are powerful Democratic
voices on the Hill opposing any
slash now. Senator Byrd, ruler
Of the Senate Finance Committee,
would fight the move. So would
Chairman Mills Of the tax-writing
House Ways and Means Commit
tee. Even the liberal Senator
Douglas. one of the first to
champion a massive cut in the
1858 recession, thinks it unneces-
sary at this time.
What worries the administra-
ton is late 1862. If unemploy-
ment jumps and business dips, it
will be too late to ask action
from Congress before the fall
elections. Also, much heavier
spending-and deficits would be
likely in 1868 to reverse the cycle.
So the argument mounts for a
cut now, the stitch-in-time theory.
Adding fuel to this last week
were announcements that both
income and production indexes
weakened in June from May
figures. And last Tuesday, Federal
Reserve Board Chairman Martin
admitted the economy is in a
pause" Housing starts dropped
II per cent in June from May.
And the Stock Market sagged
after three weeks Of rises. Still
pointing upward are auto sales
and industrial production, but the
lists of such CHEEKY indicators is
fast shrinking.

Echo II Debut

The United States replied with
three headline events later in the
week. The first was a giant I'M
manned communications balloon
successfully launched the day
after the Premier's statement.

The active satellites, like Telstar

ceive and are considered the type
that will dominate the future.
But passive balloons have some
advantages. They are relatively
cheap to make, and while
scientists are still ironing the
wrinkles out Of the more complex

Aerospoce:
New Successes

Last Tuesday an X-15 set a
new altitude record for winged
aircraft of 58.7 miles. Stimuli
taneOusly, the United States
sent a huge communications
balloon 922 miles high.
Thursday the Army success
fully intercepted an Atlas ICBM
with a Nike ZeuS anti-missiIe
missile for the first time.
Since the Soviets shook the
world October 4, 1857, with
Sputnik I, the United States has
poured many billions of dollars
into a vastly expanded space pro-
gram. A count on July 16 showed
we have put 229 objects into
space against AZ by the 'USSR.
The rivalry in deeds and
propaganda produced several new
developments last week.
Premier Khrushchev set the tone
Monday with an announcement
that Russia now has an anti
missile missile that can chit a
fly in outer space" But he added
paradoxically that the Soviets also
have global rocket that cannot
be destroyed by any anti-rocket
means. Pentagon officials doubted
Russia has developed an effective
anti-misSile missile.
Moscow has not yet released
any photographs of its new de-
tense weapon, but Mr.. Khru-
shchev claimed he has movies of
it in action.

Mediocre Provisions

The measure voted down by the
senate last week kept most of the
Administrators original pro-
posals. It would have financed
the plan by a one-half per cent
increase in the social security tax,
half to be paid by the employer,
half by the worker. The maximum
annual earnings to be taxed
would have risen from the pres
ent $4,000 to SIS, 200.
Hospital care benefits would
have run up to 80 days a year
and up to 100 days of nursing
home care.
At the 18th hour Senator An
derson made other concessions to
gain @. o. P. support. He agreed
10 a clause giving beneficiaries a
choice between direct Government
penef1ts or indirect aid in paying
for a private health insurance
policy. Another provision would
have allowed private health in
Slrance groups to administer part
OF matters affecting hospitals.
AND those over IS not covered by
social security would get health
care financed by the Treasury.
But these were not enough.

The Aging Patient

In the battle of words preceding
last weeks Senate vote, Mr.. Ken
nedy had stressed that To-day
only about half our aged popula-
ton has any health insurance of
any kind - and most of these
have insufficient coverage."
The President later suggested
that he would not rely merely on
the 16 million retired persons for
support. He widened his remarks
Tuesday to "all those Americans
who have parents, who are liable
to be i'll :"
The Republicans were quick to
accept Mr.. Kennedy's challenge.
They drily pointed out that it was
81 Senate Democrats who helped
defeat the bill, and that 10 of
the 81 are committee chairmen.
The opposition party was also
aware that the President has not
always succeeded in taking an
issue to the public. The steel price
dispute last spring, though a
temporary White House victory on
behalf of consumers, boomeranged
by antagonizing the business
community.

THE FOREIGN SCENE
West Still Wory
Despite Laos Pact

Foreign ministers from IA
nations signed an agreement
yesterday guaranteeing the in
dependence and neutrality of
e Laos.
Just so miles west of Saigon in
q region Of swampS and six-foot
high grass, American-piloted hell
copters last week were ferrying
South Wet Nam forces to battle
as usual.
The enemy were Wet Cong guer-
rillas, composed of South Wet
Namese rebels and North Wet
Namese cadreS. Their equipment
is of both Soviet-bloc and Ameri-
can manufacture. They get the
American arms by theft and by
overpowering South Wet Nam
conveys and outposts, sometimes
killing American advisers in the
process.
This "subterranean war;" as
President Kennedy calls it, has
been growing in intensity in recent
months as both sides have been
boosting their strength. The Wet
Cong's chief means of supply is a
route from Hanoi, through neigh
boring Laos, and across the ILL
defined South Wet Nam border.
l.
this supply line will continue, now
that Laos officially has become
neutral and independent"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-07-22
The Line Is Drawn

Peace in Laos would allow the
United States to concentrate its
efforts in South Wet Nam and
Thailand. The United States has
made the decision TO hold the line
in both countries, and to use force,
If necessary, to preserve the pres
ent pro-Western governments.
At Geneva this week Secretary
OF State Rusk undoubtedly will
probe Foreign Minister Gromyko'S
intentions in Southeast Asia. Mr..
Gromyko has talked of Laos being
a precedent for the future.
Mr.. Rusk and Mr.. Gromyko
have other longer standing prob
lens to discuss, Berlin and disarm-
ament for two. Neither side in
recent weeks has shown much
compromise in either area. Many
observers fear the Soviet Union
may be leading the United States
toward q showdown over Berlin.
Some observers in Washington
believe that Premier Khrushchev
is under pressure from his own
supporters in the Kremlin and
other East European capitals to
sign a peace treaty with East
. Germany. Mr.. Rusk will try to
impress Mr.. Gromyko with the
danger of such a unilateral step,
and try to persuade him to con-
tinue the talks that have been
held for six months now.
The 17-nation disarmament con-
ference resumed in Geneva last
week with the usual preliminary
speeches. Simultaneous with the
general disarmament talks, the
big powers are discussing a nuclear
test ban. The United States has
indicated 1t might have some new
proposals soon.
Arthur Dean, the American
negotiator, indicated that as a re-
suit of new scientific information
the United States might be willing
to forego a network of seismo-
graph stations on Soviet soil, so
long as inspections could be made
Of suspected test sites.

next few weeks, pressure may be

Gen. Taylor's new and presti-

Somewhat Unusual

The quick resumption Of testing,
within ten months Of the last So
Wet series, is somewhat unusual,
but not unexpected. The United
States made the difficult decision
to hold tests again only when SCI
entiSts reported to President Ken
nedy that after their 1861 series
the Russians could gain a scien-
tific edge by testing again If the
United States did not test in the
meantime.
The Russian tests, climaxed by
a 50-megaton explosion, the
largest ever, were held at the
height of the Berlin crisis. Mr..
Kennedy, in a speech to the
American people on March Z, said
the Russians achieved significant
gains in all types Of weapons, and
this forced the United States to
resume tests.
Oddly enough, the resumption
Of Soviet tests may smooth the
way for a successful nuclear test
ban treaty. Many observers be-
ieve that both sides will now have
exhausted the need for such tests
at least for several years
making a test ban more feasible.
AS long as either side feels the
need to test, such a ban is i'm
possible to attain.
The Soviet decision must have
been based on strict military con-
siderations, for it will gain the
Soviet Union few friends. Coming
a week after a long disarmament
rally in Moscow, and simultaneous
with the resumption of the
Geneva disarmament conference,
it will be a blow to Soviet propo-
gandiStS.

President Angry

Twenty-one Democratic Sena-
tors, most of them Southerners,
teamed with 81 Republicans to de-
feat the bill. Only five Republicans
voted for it. and one of them,
Senator Kuchel of California, did
so at considerable peril. Conserva-
tives in his State earlier had
threatened that his support for
the measure would cost him his
office.
With the icily controlled anger
now familiar to television audi
ences, the President called the
Senate vote "a most serious de-
feat for every American family"
He promised to take the issue to
the voters this fall, when a third
of the Senate and all House seats
are up for election.
He also promised that medicare
will still be live issue next jan
uary, when the bill will be in
troduced again for the third time
in three years.
Why did the Senate buck the
administration? Many reasons
have been offered outside the OPP
position to helping old folks pay
medical bills through social Sc
curity.
One argument was that medi-
care was dead anyhow this year.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee has, kept its version of the
bill padlocked since 1861. Chances
were remote that it could be sent
to the House floor and differ
enceS worked out before adjourn
ment.
Some Senators didn't like the
way the matter was handled. In
stead of emerging from the SEN
ate Finance Committee under
normal procedure, the plan was
tackled on an unrelated bill with
out committee blessing.
Timing of events conspired
against mediocre, too. At the mo-
ment when every administration
ally was needed, Abraham A. Ribi-
coff, Secretary of the Health, Ed
ucation and Welfare Department,
which would handle parts of the
medicare program, quit to run for
the Senate. Some Democrats also
had complained his efforts on be-
half of medicare were half
hearted.

The WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
Creating an Election Issue

Congress last week handed
President Kennedy his worst
legislative defeat. BY a 52-4S
vote, the Senate rejected his
plan for medical care for the
aged.
1T is much safer to be feared
than loved" Machiavelli wrote
four and a half centuries ago in
his advice to rulers. Today the
popular occupant of the White
House may well be bordering
these words, after a series of set
backs from lawmakers.
Despite control of both houses
by his party, the President has
not been encountered with help
this year on crucial votes. He has
been beaten on his farm bill, on
his plan for Withholding taxes on
dividend checks, and on his
scheme for creating an Urban
Affairs Department.
The formidable coalition of Re-
publicans and Southern Demo-
Gratis struck again last Tuesday
with the sharpeSt blow, in a dra-
matte vote that killed his "medi-
care" scheme.
