EUGENE KElilsTEK GUARD, Monday, May 21, 1962 Page SA Hard-Hitting Campaign Urged by Ike Party Statement Subject of Meeting GETTYSBURG, Pa. ( For mer President Dwight D. Eisen hower called on Republicans Monday to take a "positive ap proach" to national issues in a hard-hitting campaign for con trol of the House in the Novem ber election. ' Eisenhower breakfasted with 10 GOP members of the Senate and House at his Gettysburg of fice for discussion of a forth coming statement of Republican principles to be used in the campaign. The former president told a news conference afterwards he was interested in giving the statement more impact and in trimming the 3.200-words of a preliminary draft prepared by the Senate House Committee. Answering question, Eisen hower replied vigorously to President Kennedy's charge Sat urday that the Republican party doesn't stand for anything. "All you have to do is look at the record of the eight years when I was in the White House," he said. "There was a lot of constructive work done in that period." Health Care Plan In response to other questions Eisenhower opposed Kennedy's health care plan for the elderly financed through Social Secu rity taxes. Kennedy campaigned vigorously for this plan in New York Sunday, declaring it "basi cally sound." Eisenhower said during his administration he proposed leg islation which became the pres ent Kerr-Mills law. Under this legislation the federal govern ment matches state funds to provide health assistance for the needy. Eisenhower said he was disap pointed the measure did not in clude provision for federal as sistance in cases of catastrophic illness. He said if this were added needs of most of the el derly could be met. "I believe the proper ap proach is the voluntary not the compulsory approach under the Social Security system," the for mer president aaid. Rep. Mclvin R. Laird, R-Wis., spokesman for the Senate and House members, said Eisenhow er's advice would bring some changes in the party statement. Laird said the document will be ready for submission to Senate and House Republicans at sep arate meeting June 7. Seattle Meeting It will be submitted to the Republican National Committee at a June Seattle, Wash., meet ing for ratification. Laird declined to enumerate the issues but others said the preliminary draft bears down hard on demands for fiscal re sponsibility in government, a field in which Republicans have chalked up President Kennedy's efforts as a failure. The Republicans are expected to agree on a strong statement supporting civil rights. They are relatively united in opposi tion to the administration's farm program, which Eisenhower spe cifically has criticized. In the international field, the Republicans are expected to call for firm resistance to Commu nist encroachments in Berlin and Southeast Asia. They are likely to blame Kennedy for the loss of Cuba. They are certain to leave the door open for fu ture criticism of the President's foreign policy actions. -..--i-a -rnc.

Meaning of Bill' Eugene Doctor Criticizes Speech President Kennedy's national television speech Sunday urging public support for his "medi care" plan was criticized Mon day by Dr. George C. McCallum of Eugene, public relations chairman for the Lane County Medical Society. McCallum, giving his person al reactions to the president's address at Madison Square Gar den in New York City, said Kennedy "did not explain clear ly the exact meaning of the bill he is promoting." McCallum said Monday Ken nedy's talk "did not generate the wild-eyed enthusiasm that I thought would be demonstrated at the so-called rally." The Eugene physician, taking exception to Kennedy's com ments that doctors aren't fam iliar with his medicare plan, said, "The bill has been well read and digested by the legal counsel of the American Medi cal Assn. I don't believe doctors are misinformed." McCallum said he was sur prised that the president "was as kind as he was" to doctors during his television address. "He didn't jump on us as much as I thought he would." McCallum said he and many doctors feel passage of the King-Anderson bill would be "just the first wedge toward socialized medicine." Doctors oppose the medicare Washington County Judge Loses Election HILLSBORO W Washington County voters decided in Fri day's primary not to re-nominate Washington County Judge Joseph E. Jaross, Hillsboro. He was beaten by Donald C. Willcy, Beaverton, 6,352 to 3, 898. Voters approved a $200,000 annual levy for five years, but rejected a $75,000 levy which would have run two years, for construction of a county muse um at Hillsboro. plan mainly for these reasons, McCallum said: (1) The plan doesn't cover everyone, (2) There will be too many govern mental controls exerted by the Dept. of Health, Education and Welfare, and (3) The legislation has certain "broad, sweeping language" that leaves too many unanswered questions. McCallum said he and many doctors favor the already-enacted Kerr-Mills Bill a federal state program providing care for public assistance. Another doctor, George Hemphill, president of the Lane County Medical Society, said Monday the organization has not taken a formal stand on Kennedy's medicare plan, but that the individual doctors, for the most part, oppose the pro gram. Hemphill said the president's medicare program "covers many people who don't need cover age" and that the cost for the plan would be "fantastic." Views of the American Medi cal Assn. will be expanded to night on a nationwide television show. In Eugene, the program will be shown on channels 13 and 8 at 7 o'clock standard, 8 daylight. Architectural Critic To Speak at UO Allen Tcmko, architectural juornalist from the University of California, will speak at the University of Oregon Wednes day. Tcmko, whose earlier sched uled talk had been cancelled, will appear in 123 Science at 7:00 p.m. standard, 8 p.m. day light. The public is invited. A graduate of Columbia Uni versity, who also studied at the Sorbonnc, France, Temko is the West Coast editor of Architec tural Forum and architectural and urban critic of the San Francisco Chronicle and Wash ington Post. Funds Raised By Kennedy NEW YORK im President Kennedy filled Madison Square Garden twice in a weekend visit that was worth a million dollars to the Democratic party and a still undetermined amount of support for his medical care for the aged plan. He also dedicated a $40-mil-Iion-dollar housing project, and visited five times with his fa ther, Joseph P. Kennedy, who is recovering from a stroke at the Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Heat waves from the city's hottest day of the year the mercury reached 90 degrees were still rising when Marilyn Monroe gave her sultry rendi tion "Happy Birthday" at a "birthday salute" for the Presi dent in the Garden Saturday night. He becomes 45 on May 29. Miss Monroe was among the array of talent that participated in the 2-hour show for the celebration. Kennedy threw away most of a prepared speech to join in the birthday party spirit. He stayed until 2 a.m. at a private recep tion attended by many of the performers. Persons attending the Garden celebration paid from $10 to $1,000 a scat, with the proceeds going to the Democratic party. Kennedy attended a private Mass on Sunday morning with his 73-year-old father and his oldest sister, Mrs. Sargent Shriv cr. The mass was said in the living room of "Horizon House," a cottage on the grounds of the institute. A cheering crowd estimated at 20.000 attended the dedica tion Saturday of the West Side housing project, which was sponsored chiefly by the Inter national Ladies darmcnt worn ers Union. More Home Owners WASHINGTON (UPD The Cen sus Bureau has reported that more Americans are living in their own homes than in rented dwellings. The bureau said Sun day the 1960 census showed that of 53 million occupied dwelling units, 32 million were habitated by persons who owned them or were buying them. The remain ing units were occupied by renters. Paper Cups Used SAIGON W U.S. servicemen have used up 1.25 million paper drinking cups since the buildup of American forces began in this tropical Southeast Asian coun try last December. Negroes En Route To Hyannis, Mass. Br ASSOCIATED PRESS Two Negro mothers and their 20 children were aboard buses Monday on the way from Little Rock, Ark., to Hyannis, Mass., where a selectman termed such "reverse freedom rides" a cruel hoax on trusting people. . It was the largest Negro group sent to Cade Cod by the segre gationist capital Citizens Coun cil since the start of the one way ticket north campaign. Mrs. Victoria Bell, 36, and her 11 youngsters were put aboard a bus Sunday by Amis Guth ridge, president of the sponsor ing Citizens Council. In addi tion to providing tickets cost ing $307, he gave her $60 for spending money. Mrs. Bell said she was separ ated from her husband and un able to find steady work in Lit tle Rock. She hoped to obtain a job as a presser for a com mercial laundry in Massachu setts. The children with her ranged in age from 2 to 14 and included 3-year-old twins. . About five hours later Lela Mae Williams of Huttig, Ark., and her nine children were es corted to a bus. Guthridge paid the $206 fare and also present ed her with $60 for expenses. Mrs. Williams said she ap plied for the free passage be cause she was out of work as a domestic helper and wanted to find a full-time job. At Hyannis, Selectman E. Thomas Murphy said, 'We'll do our best to care for them. But if this keeps up and we have to put people on welfare, the state will have to take some sort of action. We just can't keep on this way." Three Negro men reached Hyannis earlier from Little Rock. Two Negro couples and their five small children ar rived Saturday on one-way tic kets provided by the White Citizens Council at Shreveport, La. Murphy said the White Citi zens Council program which sent Negroes to Hyannis was "a cruel hoax on these trusting people." The Rev. Kenneth R. Warren, minister of the Barnstable, Mass. Unitarian church, said, "The people who saw the group arrive Saturday were shocked. They are being used In a heart less way and this word has got to get back to the people of the South so they won't allow them selves to be used in this way." The minister said the couples had been led to believe housing and jobs were waiting for them because "of the lies told by the White Citizens Council. It was an awful blow to them to find Hyannis is just a small resort town without manufacturing or facilities to provide for them." Accident Victim In 'Fair' Condition William H. Harvey, 44, of Veneta, who was injured in a one-car accident near Not! Sat urday evening, was reported in "fair" condition in Sacred Heart hospital Monday. Harvey was originally listed as "critical." He suffered pos sible internal and head injuries when his car veered off Knight Road and hit a tree about 6:45 p.m., daylight, Saturday. ATTENTION HOMEOWNERS New savings from Stat Farm!
