posed by former Senator Will
liam F. Knowland tonight to
force Soviet troops out of Cuba.
II refuse to accept the doc
trine that we are helpless, short
Of armed conflict. TO act in a
decisive manner to get Soviet
troops out Of Cuba" he said.
Mr.. Knowland, in q prepared
speech to the California Re-
publican Assembly. said this
country. acting in conjunction
with the Organization Of Amer
lean States, could:
/. Announce that II the So
Wet troops weren't all out by

blockade would be thrown
around Cuba.
2. Notify the Soviet Union
that diplomatic relations would
be suspended and all USSR
embassies closed until the last
Soviet soldier left Cuba.
II doubt the Soviet Union
would want this to happen"
Mr.. Knowland said, "since So
Wet embassies are centers of

mist propaganda In Latin
America. as they are elsewhere

Mr.. Knowland made a strong

Biggest Saver
Title Sought
By Mcnamara
By the Associated Press

In addition to his unques-
toned title as the Nations
biggest spender. Defense Secre-
tary Mcnamara is aiming to be
the Nations biggest saver dur
ing the next two years.
The hard driving Pentagon
civilian boss told Senators last
week he expects TO save tax
payers more than S2.5 billion
in the fiscal year beginning July
!.
Otherwise his new SIS bill
lion defense outlay for the
same period would be that
much higher.
His economy proposals drew
praise from some Senators who
publicly protested related plans
to end production Of manned
bombers. junk the Skybolt air
borne missile and limit other
weapons systems.
Several Of his thrift proposals
may reflect his experience as
former president of one Of the
Nations major automobile
manufacturing units, the Ford
Motor Co.
All of them will require
teamwork from leaders and
agencies among the more than
2.5 million members Of the
armed services. the more than
/ million civilians in defense
agencies and more than l mil
lion reservists who get drill
pay.
Mr.. Mcnamara said his
proposals should save $1.9 bill
lion In the fiscal year which
ends June 30, just under $2.7
billion in fiscal 1864 and near
.ly $3.5 billion in fiscal 1865.
One of his main efforts is to
get the military to buy only
what we need" Under his
prodding Army leaders found
they could cut combat support
items by $565 million.
Substitution Of paperboard
targets for plastic models used
for Army target practice cut
costs SO per cent.
With some 1 million different
items and parts scattered
world wide in more than 1000
defense installations, Mr.. Nc
Namara said q cutback in
former requirements would save
1884 million in the new fiscal
year.
The secretary said he also
will save millions by his shut
down or cutback of 313 defense
installations and activities.
OF these, II are overseas and
242 in the United States. Clos
ings Of Army posts, Air Force
Bases and Navy and Marine
establishments often produce
bitter protests from the COM
munities involved and their
spokesman in Congress.

Successful as the Govern
ment employee health insurance
benefits program has been. II
still has considerable problems.
The Civil Service Commission
is studying ways Of improving
benefits still further and elm
mating inequities which bring
complaints from employees.
The situation is ably analysed
In an article in the Civil Serv-
ice Journal by Elizabeth Mes
ser, assistant to the deputy d.
rector Of the CSC's bureau OF
retirement and insurance. In
the article, Miss Messer had the
assistance OF Marjorie Elsten
Solomon Papperman and Jo-
seph Zisman Of the bureaus
staff.
OF the IA million persons
who received health insurance
benefits under the first le
months OF the program, 10000
were hospitalized and 406, DOC
had surgery. Ten per cent re-
ceived maternity benefits. One
out of three got medical serv-
ices at home or in doctors
offices.
More family members thar
employees benefited. A total Of
846, 900 dependents and 406,7OC
employees received benefits. A
total OF $500 employees who
subsequently retired received
benefits. as did 800 depend
ents.
II Is probably In the area Of
out-of- hospital services that
persons covered by the pro.
gram have gained the greatest
protection In comparison with
their previous coverage. Very
few plans previously available
for example, provided benefits
for drugs and medicines used
outside the hospital, for nurs.

To illustrate: A person is
sent to the hospital with an
acute pain, undiagnosed. The
medical treatment given him
at the time Is minimal, but he
is X-rayed and given a series
Of other tests. On that basis,
II is determined that he has q
gastric ulcer, and he Is then
sent home to be taken care
Of by means Of medication and
controlled diet. Because the
illness is diagnosed but not
actually treated in the hospital,
the admission is classified as
a d~iagnostic one, which under
several plans automatically OPP
crates TO deny or reduce the
benefits.
Another situation that causes
confusion, resentment and in
some cases reduced benefits
arises from changing practices
In the billing for certain serv-
ices such as administration OF
anesthetics and making Of lab
oratory and x-ray tests. In
many tbut not alb parts OF the
country, such services have in
the past been provided and
billed for by hospitals as part
Of the services OF their stats.
increasingly, however. they
are now being provided by doc
tors called in on a fee basis.
and these doctors naturally bill
the patient for their services.
In some areas and under some
plans. this practice makes the
service subject TO the deductible
and to co-insurance-which II
would not be II provided and
billed for by the hospitals as
part Of their regular service.
The csc and the carriers are
trying to work out something Ia
insure a satisfactory benefit
that does not depend on where
and from whom the services
are obtained.
Some plans severely restrict
the classes Of practitioners fol
whose services they will pay
