Anderson Cites Hooker"

Washington, d. C.-LA-
BOR)-Schemes brought forth
by the leaders of the American
Medical Association for alleged
medical laid" to the aged are
actually designed to deprive
most senior citizens of any real
help in meeting their medical
bills, Senator Clinton Anderson Cd
NM charged last week.
He's the chief Senate sponsor of
the understanding bill which would
help meet hospital, nursing home and
other health costs of the aged under
the Social Security and Railroad Re-
tirement systems.
Anderson derided anew the latest
"plan" announced by the ANA joint
ly with the Blue Shield to provide
surgical and certain other medical
benefits for persons over 65 on a
voluntary prepayment method.
However, this plan, like the exist
ing Kerr-Mills program of medical
aid to the INDECENT aged, carries with
it "means test" because its bene-
fits are to be available only to per-
sons over 65 with specified small in
comes, Anderson pointed out.
WHAT MEANS TEST MEANS
The real aim of such test is to
slash drastically the number qualify
ing, the Senator stressed.
"The means test is put in," he said,
''to weed out large share of the
claims. 1t represents the hope that a
man who thinks he needs only modest
hospital care would prefer to pay for
it himself rather than go through the
experience of parading
his bank accounts, his social security |
checks, and any interest he may get |
from E bonds and other savings be- |
fore he can phone the doctor or enter |
the door of hospital"
"To me the supreme indigity,"
Anderson added, SIS to say that
worker who has contributed life
time of service to a firm or trade
that, once he reached 65, his bust
ness is no longer private but subject
to constant, exhaustive, and revived
scrutiny every time visit to the
hospital appears necessary.
81 stand firmly behind the guaran-
zee in the King-Anderson BILL" he
ontinued, "that health care shall be
as matter of right to those
eople over 65 who are under social
ecurity and railroad retirement;
hat they shall have the privilege of

Analyze the Washington
area consumer and you'll find
his spending on home furn-
islings we'll ahead of such
big dollar items as recrea-
ton, do-it-yourSelf shop work
or the inevitable bills for
Strengthened tenders.
At least that's the picture
emerging from United States
Census Bureau studies, which
back in 1858 put area spend
ers under a microscope and
came up with some statistics.
Sales in 336 District stores
accounted for $89 million
worth of home furnishings
that year. BY contrast, the
public spent $59.8 million in
Washington hotels, $44.2 mil
lion in theaters and similar
recreational centers, and $33
million on hardware, power
tools, and lumber. The cost
of having their cars repaired
and serviced came to $3.50
million.
Nationwide, furniture has
shown a steady gain in dollar
volume since 1850. Sales to-
tailed 1854 billion that year
and reached $22.6 billion in
1860, according to Commerce
Department estimates.
And if some of the indus
try'S designers have their
way, the future holds even
more spending.
Were going toward ele-
gance," forecasts Serge Sack
noff,, former president of the
American Institute Of Inte-
rior Designers local branch
and a vice president of w.

The mood will affect not
only the shape of things to
come but their price. In fab
RIGS, for example, informal
thick-textured cloths are CIV
ing way to damasks and Ital-
ian silks (which incidentally
cost a lot more and make for
high unit sales" he explained.
Mr.. Sacknoff noted that his
own store is now cutting down
space devoted to modern
furniture, such as the austere
Danish pieces, and expanding
areas for other styles.

Fabrics

While thousands Of scien-
lists are devoting their lives
to getting a man to the
moon, many more are max
ing a full time career of
smoothing out the little
problems Of day to day liv-
ing.
In the matter of fabrics
for the Tome, for instance,
chen mical researchers are
working steadily to come up
with new or improved ma
terials for drapes, slipcovers,
bedspreads, etc.
Fading. shrinking, stretch
ing are some of the fabric
bugabooS that have been
putting a strain on the purse
and face of fair homemakers
over the years.
Many fabric shortcomings,
such as these, are being re-
solved in the laboratories of
companies which specialize
in man made fibers, and one
of the outstanding "beaker"
developments in this area is
a process called Coloray
which insures colors that will
not fade or change under
any circumstances.
In this process, the color
is infused in the liquid So
luton from which rayon fl
bers are made. The color is
actually locked in before the
fiber is born. Thus the color
can't escape. it lasts for the
: life of the fabric. Courtaulds,
a leading manufacturer of
rayon staple, developed Colo
ray in their Alabama labora4
tories. The color range is
fantastic. Some 10000 col
ors and blends are in a color
bank at Mobile and the COM
pany is continuously produc-
ing new effects.

The Chicago Black Hawks and
the Toronto Maple Leafs. a
pair of talented. poised and
confident hockey teamc, square
off tonight in the opener Of
a beSt-of-Seven series for the
Stanley Cup championship.
Fresh from scoring four
straight triumphs over the Ma
tional Hockey League champion
Montreal CanadienS, the Black
Hawks feel they have all the
credentials necessary to retain
the coveted cup which they
captured against Detroit last
year.
Toronto, finishing second in
the regular race-one notch
above the Hawks-is ready to
claim its first cup since 1851,
The Hawks, who arrived yes
terday and will work out lightly
in Maple Leaf Gardens today,
are a bit peeved over what they
feel is a lack of credit for their
accomplishments. Namely, Win
ming the cup last year and
coming from behind to oust
Montreal this year.
Nobody is willing to admit
that we have a great hockey
team" says Coach Rudy Pilous.
80 we'll just have to go out
and show them. I'll make only
one prediction and that is the
Black Hawks will win the last
game of this series"
The Maple Leafs are just
as confident as the Hawks
Coach Punch Imlach pointed
to the season record between
the two teams in which the
Hawks won one, lost four and
tied two in Toronto while the
Leafs won three. lost two ano
tied two in Chicago.
Toronto is a slight favoritt
