The sisters said they lived in

Both Had Colds
The light of publicity shone
on them today at an embarras
sing time. Both sisters were in
bed with colds their first,
they said, in the 30 years they
have been in the shack.
A recent cold snap drew auth
orities' attention to the case.
The manager of the farm on
which the shack stands, Gian
Bisceglia, went to the shed to
check up on the women and
found them both ill.
Bisceglia, who often brings
food to the Misses Finnigan,
telephoned police, who called a
doctor. The doctor said both
sisters were in good health for
their age and appeared well
fed. But public health officials
also came to see them and or
dered that they be moved.
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Six
Republican senators are push
ing a public-private plan of
health benefits they believe will
provide a basis for ending the
congressional impasse over
medical care for the aged.
In a statement Wednesday,
the GOP senators said they
would introduce legislation in
the new session of Congress to
make full use of private re
sources and initiative as well
as Social Security financing.
The measure is based on rec
ommendations of the National
Commission on Health Care for
the Aged formed in 1962 at the
suggestion of Sen. Jacob Javits,
R-N.Y.
Sponsoring the legislation with
Javits are Sens. Clifford P.
Case, R-N.J., John Sherman
Cooper, R-Ky., Kenneth B.
Keating, H-N.Y., Thomas H.
Kuchel, R-Calif., and Margaret
Chase Smith, R-Maine.
The administration medicare
proposal for financing health
care for the aged through an
increase in Social Security

NEW YORK (UPI) - One of
the wishes made by the stock
brokerage and trading commu
nity at the start of 1963 will
have to be brushed off and re
vived for 1964.
It was the expressed hope
that "the public" would return
to the market in the same num

with which it entered in 1961
and early 1962, before the May,

WASHINGTON OJPtt - The
Military Establishment's fleet of
199 chauffeured cars will be re
duced to 110, but none of the
best known officials will be af

said today.
In strict Pentagon parlance,
only 10 of these vehicles are
called "limousines," although
the rest look snappy enough to
deserve such designation.
The 10, all rented, will bo re
tained in service for the mili
tary and civilian chiefs of the
Army, Navy and Air Force, the
commandant of the Marine
Corps, the chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff and the secre
tary of defense and his deputy.
A Pentnnon spokesman said
he was unable to identify the
89 officials, mostly in Washing

being chauffeured to their ol
Bees and official Catherines.
The spokesman said this had
not been determined, indicating

brokerage houses indicated
there was no great rush by
"the public" to reenter the
stock market.
"Through the third quarter,
the public definitely was stay
ing out," said a spokesman for
ona of the largest stock broker
age houses in the world. "But
there were signs in the last
quarter of reviving interest."
"Public interest has not come
back to anything near the ex
tent that it was in 1961 and
early 1962," said another.
A third said that between
September, 1962 and September,
1963, the public s accounts with
his house showed selling on bal
ance almost day in and day
out.
"It changed last September
somewhat, but not drastically,"
this source said. "On, say, 15
out of 20 days there would be

fairly good; November could
not be taken as any measure

a spotty month.
