Bipartisan Group Battles
Medical Student Loans

publican Of Wisconsin, Policy
Committee chairman, said
there was no strong evidence
that any large number ot
medical students needs Federal
aid or cannot get adequate
loans from private sources.
He said that the Policy Com
mittee felt that top priority
in this instance should be
given to Federal aid for bricks
and mortar" to build facilities
for teaching and training.
Mr.. Byrnes said the Policy
Committee took no position on
the rest of the bill. He re-
ported "a considerable diver
gence of opinion" among
G. o. P. members on other pro-
visions, but that opposition to
the loan section was practical
ly unanimous.
Mr.. Byrnes predicted that the
bill would be defeated in the
House today unless the loan
provision were stricken.
Democratic sponsors voiced
confidence that the bill would
pass in substantially the form
recommended by the House
Commerce Committee.
They counted on Represen-
tative Harris, Arkansas Demo
crat who heads the committee
to persuade some of his South
ern Democratic colleagues tc

Hiqh Court Denies Role

The State law made 1t a mis-
demeanor to engage in this
business except as a part Of a
regular law practice. Yester-
days opinion upset a lower Fed
eral court ruling that had en-
Joined enforcement of the law.
Justice Black emphasized
that courts should not use the
due process clause to strike
down State laws because they
are thought unwise. The ques-
ton Of wisdom is up to legisla-
lures, he said.
Whether the legislature takes
for its textbook Adam Smith,

or some other is no concern of
ours" he said. He said such
complaints should be taken to
the lawmakers.
The Kansas debt-adjusting
statute may be wise or unwise, -
he said. But relief. If any be
needed, lies not with us but
with the body constituted to

constitutional. as opposed to

House Republicans and some
Democrats combined today in
an effort to eliminate student
loan authorizations from an
administration backed bill to
help doctors and other profess
sional health personnel get an
education.
The measure scheduled for
House debate this afternoon
would establish a $205 million
three-year program of Federal
grants to construct teaching
facilities and provide loans TO
students.
This was the first Federal
aid-to-education bill to come
up in either the House or Sem
ate this year. 1t also might
be the last because Of wide
spread congressional opposi-
ton to many features Of Presi-
dent Kennedy's proposed omni-
bus education bill.
The House G.. o. P. Policy
Committee late yesterday urged
Republicans to oppose the Sec
ton of the medical school bill.
That provision would cost about
$50 million and authorize Fed
eral loans to students of medi-
cine, dentistry and osteopathy
at private as we'll as public
institutions.

BERLIN, April % (AP).-
West Berlin and Allied officers
dismissed today Soviet Premier
Khrushchev's suggestion that
West Berlin be given a neutral
status like Austria, Switser-
land or San Morino.
I'VE see absolutely nothing
new in this" said one Western
diplomat. I'm fact, he seems
to be going backward"
The diplomat pointed out
that when Mr.. Khrushchev
first demanded that the Allied
occupation Of the city be
ended, he proposed that West
Berlin become q demilitaFized
"free city"
When the Allies rejected this,
the Soviets softened their de-
mands and said troops could
remain under United Nations
command.

The Budget Bureau Is sitting
on the reports of various Gov
eminent employe bills requested
by Congress.
Until Budget Bureau reports
are received on the various
bills, action on the measures
can't be taken by Congress.
1t all appears part of a de-
sign by the administration to
block any employe legislation
that costs money.
OF course, the Budget Bureau
can't stall indefinitely on the
reports If Congress really
wants to take action. Thus far,
Congress has not pressed the
bureau to submit the reports.
Involved are such bills as re-
tirement on full annuities after
80 years service at age SIS, in
creased life insurance policies,
liberalized health insurance
benefits such as greater Gov
eminent payment Of the premi-
ums involved and removal Of
inequities against m arrie d
women with non = dependent
husbands, and improved fl
nancing to reduce the $33 bill
lion civil service retirement
deficit.
Reports Of the administra-
tion's position - either for or
against these bills-are neces-
sary before the House and Civil
Service Committees can sched-
ule hearings.

dent Kennedy will soon submit
his salary adjustment propos-
ais. But even here. the admin
istration seems to have lost
much of its enthusiasm for pay
