Under King Anderson, un-

These are the Nightmares of
old age. as President Kennedy
pointed out last Sunday when
he told a New York City audi
ence that such illnesses can
place a comfortable couple in
a nearly impossible plight. The
President drew the picture of
a man and wife, drawing, say,
500 a month from Social
Security, and he has a pension
from where he worked, the re-
suit of years Of effort -.
His basic needs are taken
care Of. He owns his house. He
has $500 or $4,000 in the
bank" I"
A long-term illness would
soon exhaust the husbands
savings and those Of his chill
dren, the President said.
But the King-Anderson bill,
which would cover many hos
pital bills by increasing Social
Security taxes. can help this
couple, the President pointed
out.
Arguments Abound
So can private insurance plans
or the Kerr-Mills Act already
passed and in effect in many
States, say the bills opponents.
The King-Anderson advo-
Gates generally speak of $50
units of service as the bills
benefits. Opponents speak Of
the wider benefits possible
under Kerr-Mills and some in
surance plans.
But what do these plans
mean for the man with lung
cancer? The woman with Park
inson's? The woman with q
heart attack?
In an actual case of lung
cancer here, q man ran up a
bill of $7.687.75 during 80 days
in the hospital, including pri-
vate duty nurses (costing $2,-
373). two surgery procedures
$500 for both) and out-of- hos
pital expenses totaling nearly
$1,000.
A combination Of the Blue
Shield and Blue Cross basic
plans and their Major Medical
plan paid all but $1,125.42 of
the bills for this care.

Mill CRY NAAcP
Membership Drive
Extended z Months

The intensifying Albany, Geor
gia situation prompted the Min
neapolis Branch of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People (NAACP) to
redouble its 1862 efforts this week
with a voter registration cam
paign and a two-month extension
of its membership solicitation
drive.
Co-chairmen of the two special
efforts, Cato McKinnie, 1927
Wentworth, and Harry Davis, 1921
Portland, said in a joint state
ment, 1.-THE purpose of this addi-
tional period for soliciting men,
berships is to make up a 40% lag
in 1862 memberships and to give
the people of Minneapolis further
opportunity to help the NAACP
fight situations like those in AL
bany, Georgia, financially by either
taking out a new membership or
renewing their old membership in
our organization"
McKinnie and Davis, continued:
1.-THE rights being fought for in
Albany are, the right Of peaceful
assembly and protest, the right to
petition the city government on
grievances of the Negro communi-
ty, and the right to vote as guar
anteed by the us. Constitution.
On these rights we know the
people Of Minneapolis share our
views and want to help in a con-
crete way" -.
The two NAACP officials ex-
planned that whether it is a 81
minimum membership or a $500
life membership, over half the
money goes to the national head
quarters to be used to cover ex-
penses such as those encountered
in the Albany court battles.
1t was also pointed out that
in the NAACP is not
limited to Negroes only. Anyone
may join by simply mailing their
contribution to: Min

they are in Jail.
The freedom songs represent
probably the greatest mass topi-
cal song-writing rage in this
country since the days of the or
ganizing drives of the labor move
ment in the 1905.
The songs, which promise to be-
come as controversial as those of
the labor movement, reflect the
new attitude of the younger gem
Grafton of Negroes. AS one observ-
er put it:
'They are not thinking about
pie, in the bye and bye, but piece
of that pie, now"
A survey of Albany, Durham,
NC, and other tension points
throughout the South indicates
that singing helps bolster the NOR
ale of integrationists and disarms
the hostility of segregationists.
The songs, old and new, are used
at mass meetings, demonstrations,
prayer vigils, on Freedom Rides, in
jails and before sit-ins.
