Some of the large group is pictured here, waiting in Doctors counter at JFK NEW YORK (UPI) The American Medical Association (AMA) was set to slug back to day at the Kennedy administra tion's Sunday punch on the hot issue of medical care. President Kennedy and other top administration officials threw the punch Sunday at giant rallies across the nation on behalf of his plan to finance medical care for the aged through the Social Se curity program. Kennedy, in a speech to 22.000 persons in New York City's Madi son Square Garden and a nation wide television audience, went over the head of the AMA to ap peal directly to doctors to sup port his program the King-Anderson bill. The AMA, bitter opponent of the administration plan, an nounced it would reply to Kenne dy at 8 p.m.. EDT, on a nation ally televised program (Your Doctor Reports NBC-TV). Issues Statement Dr. Leonard W. Larson, AMA president, said in a statement on Sunday night that giant rallies could not conceal that the ad ministration measure "would force an immediate 17 per cent payroll tax increase on workers earning $5,200 or more and their employers. These taxes would be used to provide health care f o r millions of others financially able to take care of themselves." Larson said the administration plan would give the federal gov ernment "dangerous power to Winter pays return visit to mid-state Winter, which has lingered long er than usual in Central Oregon this season, moved in again over the weekend to whiten highlands and much of the interior plateau. Bend Sunday morning was un der a mushy 2 8 inch blanket of snow that held 0.38 inches of wa ter. Nearly one foot covered Lava Butte only 10 miles to the south. Ochoeo highlands were white through Sunday. Six inches of new snow was re ported early Sunday from Gov eminent Camp, on the road into Portland. Damp snow also cov ered other mountain passes. Rain or snow fell over most of interior Oregon in the pre-dawn hours Sunday. The snow coloring Bend early Sunday reminded many of anoth er May morning, in 1943. The mid-May date marked the formal occupancy of Camp Abbot on the upper Deschutes. That morning, six inches of snow covered Bend, and at the camp site the depth was near a foot The five day weather forecast received this morning from Port land indicate that the May storms are not yet over.

He said the medical profession is "for the Kcrr-MiUs law to help those who need help." The Madison Square Garden rally where Kennedy spoke was one of 33 held throughout the country. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson and several Kennedy Cabinet members spoke at the meetings. Appeals To Doctors The President asked physicians to write directly to him for Infor mation about the administration backed bill rather than rely on the AMA for it. He said he could not recognize the bill as explained by the AMA Journal. Kennedy rejected the idea that medical care financed through So cial Security taxes would sap the traditional American quality of self-reliance. He said that nothing could pos sibly destroy self-reliance more than the burden of massive medi cal bills being passed on from patients to other generations. "Nobody will be getting any thing for nothing," Kennedy said. "They will be paying for it." Kennedy said that a "busy or ganization" was lobbying against the bill. He cited a heavy volume of mail against the measure that has been received by Congress and the White House. But Kennedy, often interrupted by shouts and cheers of encour agement, said the people will support the bill, "one by one, thousand by thousand, million by million." The President also dismissed the threat of a group of N e w Jersey doctors to refuse treat ment for persons hospitalized un der the government plan should it become law. Kennedy said this was another way of opposing the King-Anderson bill, but he was also confi dent "not a single doctor is go ing to refuse to treat any patient if this ill becomes law." Otherwise, he added, the New Jersey physicians would not have become physicians in the first place. Nationalists to accept Red refugees TAIPEI. Formosa (UPI) -The Nationalist Chinese government to day announced it will accept all Chinese Communist refugees who want to come to Formosa from Hong Kong. Authorities in the British crown colony have cracked down recent ly on the flow of illegal refugees from Red China and have shipped thousands back. The formal announcement is sued by Vice President Chen Cheng, who is also premier, sert no limit on the number of refu gees Formosa will accept. It said the Nationalist Chinese treasury will "advance and ap propriate funds required for the relief and settlement of those ref ugees. As a more immediate measure, it said the government will con- line for lunches, served at the Jefferson County fairgrounds.

Brogan Bulletin Staft Wrlt.r MADRAS Train fans numbering slightly more than 700 rolled into Madras Sunday afternoon on a special from Portland, got off their cars for a quick view of the rapidly-greening North Unit, then took time out for lunch. . The lunch was served by the Jaycees at the fair grounds. Occupying two cars of the spec ial train, with an overflow into a third car were members of the Geological Society of the Oregon Country, under the direction of Dr. Paul Howell, with Dr. Edwin T. Hodge, veteran Oregon geolo gist, as "guide" in a canyon wild erness he explored on foot many years ago. It was the original plan of the Madras hosts to take the entire visitors to points of interest, es pecially the Round Butte dam. However, because of the late de parture of the train from Port land and the difficulty of getting the huge crowd from the station west of Madras to the fair grounds, time ran out for many. But hundreds were taken to the Round Butte dam observatory, where they not only viewed the grandeur of the Deschutes can yon, but 800 feet below viewed the upper reaches of Pelton dam, with the water blue as that of PTA sessions get underway PORTLAND (UPD - Formal business sessions of the Roth con vention of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers opened today.

A cool wind whipped mem bers of the Madras High School band assembled on the station platform. Taken on Trips After lunch, those for whom transportation could be hastily as sembled were taken on trips out over the North Unit project, with most cars heading for the Round Butte observatory. Clouds still enveloped the Cas cades, following a night storm, but the visitors were able to glimpse Mt. Jefferson partly en folded in heavy clouds. The excursion was sponsored by the Vernonia, South Park and Sunset Steam Railwav of Port land. Another excursion of train fans has been arranged for next Sunday, with some 600 to be aboard.

The princcst are Eunice Fix, JFK seeks to beef up economy WASHINGTON (UPI) - Presi dent Kennedy today urged labor, business and the public to forget political differences and help the administration get the economy into high gear. He was imme diately challenged by a business leader. Opening a White House confer ence on national economic issues. Kennedy said he needed support from every group to make the United States a "model for the world." Shortly after he spoke, J. W. Kcnner, president of the B. F. Goodrich Co., attacked the admin istration's wage-price guidelines. He told the conference they were impractical and unwise. Said Kenncr: The guidelines may hinder settlements, lead to unnecessary strikes, or bring about settlements not in the long- range interests of the parties be cause it imposes nonapplicable national judgments into local sit uations. In a verbal jab at the Presi dent's attack on the steel price increase, Kenner said that gov ernment power should not be ap plied to particular groups at the discretion of federal officials. Growth Without Inflation The chief executive told about 200 delegates to the conference that this country's task is to try to match recent economic growth achieved by France, West Ger- mand and Italy and still avoid inflation. He specifically asked the con ference to propose ways to halt the flow of gold and dollars re sulting from the U. S. balance of payments deficit. Kennedy said the nation need ed advice on how to make a free economy work at full capacity. Kennedy said that much of the squabbling between labor unions and management in collective bargaining could be eliminated if the country s economy was ex panding at a faster rate. If we can operate the econo my at full blast," he said, slicing up the economic pie Into wedges, profits and dividends would be much simpler. Problems crop up, he said, when plants are operating at 70 per cent of capacity and man agement differs with labor over the division of income. Kennedy also referred to reports that business confidence was shaken by his action to halt a steel price increase last month. It was then that he said me gov ernment wants full-capacity econo my.

Bend restaurant man. as president of the group, and Walt er Marken, 1500 E. 8th, local con tractor, as treasurer. Following Meeting Baer said the recall group was formed after the above four com missioners voted to accept City Manager Walter T. Thompson's April 2 resignation at the May 16 Commission meeting. The threat of a "counter recall Climber fatally injured in fall EVERETT. Wash. (UPD Ste ven W. Skubi Jr., IS, Seattle, died Sunday night of injuries suffered when he fell while climbing Hall Peak about 40 miles east of here earlier in the day with three companions. Snohomish County Coroner Ken Bakor said it was reported to him that the boy fell in a steep snow gulley, slid about 1.500 feet down an incline, plunged over an 80-foot cliff and continued about 300 feet further down the mountain before he stopped. It took his companions, all ex perienced mountaineers, about three hours to roach him. Two of the climbers hiked out and noti fied authorities. A rescue party made up of the Everett unit of the Mountain Rescue Council and Snohomish County sheriff's depu ties hiked In to bring the boy out. He died about 11 p.m. as the rescuers made their way off the mountain with him. The accident occurred about 2:30 p.m. Accidents take lives of four young women By United Press International Four young women lost their lives in traffic accidents in Ore gon during the weekend. The victims were: Loretta R. Anderson, 15, Vancouver, Wash.j Mrs. Marian J. Mitchell, 21, Bea ver ton; Mrs. Dolores J. Sullivan, 20, also of Beaverton, and Violet A. Hendrix, 16, Milo.

Water Pageant buttons are a departure from those purchased by the chamber In the past. They are small plastic pins in the shape of a swan, with the single word "Bend" printed on them. The pins are outlined in blue. Maudlin said the chamber pag eant committee is now meeting twice weekly, and he declared the pageant Is shaping up as "per haps the best in the lung history movement," aimed at the re maining three commissioners (Jack Dempsey, C. J. Rice and T. D. Sexton) has not materializ ed thus far. Nielsen, in a statement releas ed to The Bulletin today, defend ed his action. "I have lived in Bend for 17 years," Nielsen said. "For six of those years I have served as a member of the City Commission. My primary concern, both while I served on the Commission and a private citizen, has been to carry on activities which I thought were in the best interests of tile city of Bend and its people. Shuns Influence I do not feci that any com missioner should be unduly influ enced or allow himself to be un fairly influenced by any minor ity group which, in his opinion, is not working in the best Inter est of Bend and its people. "This entire situation resolves Itself down to the fact that a ma jority of the present Commission is not convinced we have the best city manager we can obtain. This is no spur-of-the-moment feeling, but has arisen over several years of intimate knowledge of city gov ernment. "I will welcome the opportun ity to go into the situation more comprehensively, and will bring out all of the detailed reasoning behind my opinion If it becomes necessary. In this event, I am sure that everyone will feel my recent vote in this matter was justified by the facts. To Run Again 'If a recall movement is start ed, it is my intent, acting for what I think are the best inter ests of the city, to run again for the City Commission. Contrary to reports being circulated, I am not now and have never been inter ested in being city manager. Nothing is further from the truth." Baer, in a statement this morn ing, expressed doubt that Nielsen, should he be recalled, would be eligible to run before the Novem ber 1964 election when his current four-year term would be up. Providing the recall group ob tains enough valid signatures to require a vote, the city recorder must call a special election with in 30 days thereafter. No Specific Date Baer said his group had no specific date within the 90-day deadline to obtain the necessary valid signatures. Petitions listed two reasons for initiating a recall. They wore: I. "That said commissioners re fused to allow city manager Walt er T. Thompson to remain in of fice until the coming November election when voters of the city of Bend could express their opin ion on the competence of City Manager Walter T. Thompson by their vote for now city commis sioners; 2. Said commissioners consti tute a group on the City Commis sion that no longer represents the opinion of a majority of the voters of Bend, and said commissioners are the cause of dissension within the city administration contrary In the best interests of Bend." Forum set Friday of the show." He declared, "While we are striving to make the arch as beau tiful both in form and color as in previous years, we are placing ad ditional emphasis on the floats. We expect that these will be just as beautiful, and add just as much to the show, as the colorful arch ha., in the past" There will be 12 floats. Several sponsors already have been ob Utinod, according to finance chair man Lyman C Johnson, Solon pleads for separate WASHINGTON (UPI) Demo cratic Whip Hubert H. Humphrey appealed to the Senate today to consider President Kennedy's farm requests without becoming involved in the Billie Sol Estes investigation. Ho made the plea as the Sen ate prepared to take up its ver sion of the President's proposals. The Minnesota Democrat con ceded that the Estes case prob ably "will be part of the social environment in which the farm bill will be discussed." But he re minded that the Senate was a legislative rather than an investi gative body. In discussing the farm bill. Humplirey told reporters he thought the administration Might do quite well' in getting the Sen ate to restore some of its propo sals cut out of the bill in com mittee. Closed Hearings Noting that the McClellan in vestigating subcommittee was starting closed hearings on thai Estqs grain-fertilizer scartdal to day, the senator told newsmen: "Tie best way to investigate is to investigate in committee and not in the Senate, The McCIellan committee is one of the best in Congress and will be given all the support possible. We should sepa rate these two matters." The chairman of the committee. Sen. John L. McCIellan, D-Ark., had announced earlier that he planned some interviews this morning followed by closed-door testimony in the afternoon. McCIellan declined to name any witnesses in advance. He said some out-of-towners might be questioned, as well as officials from government agencies in Washington. Informed sources said the Sen ate investigators had quietly ar ranged to examine the income tax files of Estes and others in volved in his dealings with the government They said McCIellan's subcom mittee had asked for tix records of Estes and three former govern ment officials who lost their jobs as a result of disclosures arising from Estes' grain and cotton op erations. An executive order gives the subcommittee the right to make use of tax returns. The subcommittee also was re ported looking into investments from abroad in Estes' dealings.
