Senate Vote Shatters Kennedy's Hopes For Aged Care Plan In '62 WASHINGTON (UPI) Senate backers of health care for the aged, stung by the proposal's de feat, issued the rallying cry to day of "wait until next year." The plan to finance health care for J7.9 million elder citizens through higher Social Security taxes was Killed Tuesday by Senate roll call vote of 52-48. The action shattered President Kennedy s hopes for an old-age health program this year. The President quickly issued a state ment calling it a "most serious defeat for every American fam ily. Kennedy urged voters to reeis- ter their protest at the polls and "return in November a Congress uiat will support a program like medical care for the aged." He said a new bill would be intro duced in January. AMA Praises Dtfeat The American Medical Associa tion (AMA), vigorous foe of the plan, said in Chicago that defeat of the hastily conceived pro posal was "in the public inter est." "It would have been ineauita ble to force wage earners to pay substantially higher payroll taxes to provide health care for mil lions who are able to take care of themselves," the AMA said. Although the measure was dead for this session of Congress, the issue was very much alive. Friends and foes alike acknowl edged it would be a major fac tor in some congressional elec tions in November. Sen. Clinton P. Anderson, D N.M.. and Jacob K. Javits, R- N.Y., chief architects of the bi partisan plan, indicated they would try again next year. "Medical care for our older citizens has suffered only a tem porary setback," Javits declared Maurine Asks Aid For Lumber WASHINGTON (UPI) - Sen. Maurine B. Neuberger, D-Ore., called Tuesday for revision of a shipping law which she said gives Canadian lumber a competitive advantage over U.S. west coast lumber. Mrs. Neuberger said the Jones Act, which requires that water borne shipments between the U.S. west and east coasts be carried in . U.S. vessels, lets Canadians save $8 to $10 per thousand board feet in transportation charges to east coast markets. In a letter to Chief Forester Edward P. Cliff, released by Sirs. Neuberger's office, she said: "I fail to understand bow this country can have an over-supply of lumber when, during the past four years, Canadian lumber pro ducers hav added three billion board feet of lumber to their an nual exports to U.S. domestic markets." She called for "limited reneal" of the Jones Act to make western lumber competitive with Canadian Lumber by reducing marketing costs. Mrs. Neuberger has urged the Senate Commerce Committee to revise the law. ' I, I r J Jersey Pioneers Camp At Salem SALEM, Ore. (UPI) A group of 20th century pioneers from New Jersey camped overnight here Tuesday and headed north today to Seattle and the climax of their trek New Jersey Day at the World's Fair Thursday. The motorized caravan of about 100 New Jersey citizens pulled in to this capital on schedule Tues day afternoon, and was given of ficial greetings at the Capitol building by state and city of ficials. Dan P. Allen, executive secre tary of Gov. Mark Hatfield's nat ural resources committee, gave the group a 1959 Oregon Centen nial plate for delivery to New Jersey Gov. Richard Hughes. Mayor Russell Bonesteele pre sented a myrtlewood bowl filled with local jams, for transmittal to the mayor of Salem, N. J., Norris B. Williams. The group toured the Capitol, went swimming and sightseeing, and ate a chicken dinner served by the Oregon Fryer Commission. A film on Oregon parks was shown by the Chamber of Com merce, and Jhe visitors bedded down for the night at the Oregon state fairgrounds. This was the last "Salem" on the schedule. Earlier the fast moving "wagon train" visited cit ies of the same name in Ohio, Iowa, Indiana and Illinois, follow ing a pioneer trail blazed a cen tury ago. "It will inevitably become law because the need exists." A Surprise Vote The Senate chamber was hushed while the roll was called. The senators voted. Perhaps the turning point came with surprise vote cast by Sen. Jennings Ran dolph, D-W.Va. Randolph, one of the original 23 co-sponsors, voted for tabling, or killing, the plan. He said he feared the medicare amendment would delay a welfare reform bill to which it was attached. In all, 31 Republicans and 21 Democrats voted to table, five Republicans and 43 Democrats opposed the tabling motion. The Anderson-Javits proposal would have provided hospital and nursing home care, among other things, for all persons aged 65, starting in 1964. The benefits did not include doctors' fees. The financing features of the plan drew the most fire, and pos sibly was the major factor lead ing to its defeat. Say Benefits Too Limittd Critics also argued it provided too limited a package of bene fits. In addition the bill was op posed on the ground that it was compulsory and would lead to federalization of medicine in the United States. Supporters countered that it was the best and cheapest plan yet devised to provide some pay-as-you-go system of health pro tection against costly illnesses in old age. The health plan was offered as a rider to a $325 million House passed welfare reform bill. After disposing of the medicare propos al, the Senate passed the "self help" welfare measure by voice vote. A House-Senate conference group was expected to meet this week to approve a compromise welfare, bill. Some states Jiave complained that they are running out of federal funds for welfare clients' checks. In general, the welfare bill car ries out reforms requested by Kennedy in the federally fi nanced, state-administered pro grams of aid to dependent chil dren, and assistance for 2.8 mil lion needy aged, blind and dis abled persons on relief. It places the accent on getting welfare recipients off the relief rolls and on to payrolls. u m lzj kJ n i n 0 1 h J II "una 1 .
