(UPI Telephoto) Morse Defends Social Security Health Insurance Portland - (CPD - Sen. Wayne Morse e(D-Ore.) declared here that opposition to the Forbd-Morse social security legislation by some segments of the medical profession comes without an understand ing - of the moral issue in volved. The bill would provide health insurance for persons on social security. He told members of the Na tional Association of Retired and Veteran Railway Em payees that some doctors claim the measure would put the nation well on the road to socialized medicine. "It provides only for pay ment for hospital, surgical and nursing home care," he said, "following a pattern de veloped by many of our vol untary pre-payment plans." ... The senator said the bill could be improved in some re spects but at any rate, it re quires "immediate and seri ous consideration." "I know of no single threat to the security which causes more concern among our oldejf citizens than fear that their savings will be wiped out, or their next of kin's in come threatened by the cost of a prolonged or serious ill ness requiring -hospitalization," Morse said.

Point NO 4-1226 NBC to Retain Quiz Programs New York (DPD - The National-Broadcasting company said Saturday it plans to keep television quiz shows on the air despite recent charges that some programs have been rigged. NBC, commenting on an an nouncement by the Columbia Broadcasting system that it plans to abandon quiz shows, said it did not believe abolish ing such programs was the solution to the problem. "We do not believe that am putation of one of the oldest and best-liked, program forms is the-, answer, to television's current - difficulties," N B C said in a statement. "- . "NBC's answer to this se rious and perplexing prob lem is to accept the challenge of devising and implementing every conceivable safeguard that our resources and abili ties can fashion. We think that this is the primary task fac ing the networks-rather than abdication of r their . function of continuing to offer a full range of those program types preferred by the viewing au dience." , . , The now defunct "21" quiz show, which several contes tants charged later was rigged, was carried by NBC. CBS aired "The $64,000 Question" and "The $64,000 Challenge," also now. defunct. Those three shows have fig ured in "fix" charges. Problems of Social Workers Talked At Group Meeting James L. Pullman, Jackson county welfare administrator, discussed problems most often faced by social workers as a meeting of the mental health I committee here last week. ; The discussion was the sec ond in a series of studies pre sented by persons acquaint ed with social problems in this area. The series is being conducted as an exploratory study of the unmet social wel fare needs of this area. Last month, Elliott Becken, assistant superintendent of Medford schools, discussed the bottom academic group in public schools. , . , Pullman said problems most often faced by social workers in the welfare department in clude medical care for mar ginal income people,- local treatment of the mentally ill and the reluctance to commit mentally ill persons to the state hospital, and the lack of foster homes to handle teen age children. Primary Factor Pullman said a primary fac tor in preventing juvenile de linquency is the lack of train ed school social workers. He said this would be a person who would deal with children in the primary , grades who displayed anti-social behavi or. The' social worker's efforts would not be confined to the school grounds, he noted, but worker , would work with the parents in a concentrated ef fort to locate and solve the child's emotional problems early in his life. He noted that there are no school social workers employ ed in this area. Untrained Mothers .The problem of vocational ly untrained mothers who are left by divorce, desertion or death of the husband was pre sented to the committee. Pull man; said these women who seek welfare help usually have never completed high school : and few have had work experience. Many of them would be trainable, he said, and are interested, but there, are no funds available for systematic training neces sary to get skilled jobs. The mental health commit tee is composed of persons of many professions who are in terested in the community's social problems. The group formulated-, machinery to -de-- velop the Child Guidance Clinic and a family counsel ing service here. - The next meeting of the committee will be in the coun ty health department office Thursday, Nov. 19. Commit tee meetings are open to any one interested. l mm m 'rNr ill x:$ Rescue Crews Dig For Three in Mine Tonopah, Nev - (UPD -Rescue crews dug through tons of earth Saturday in the slim hope three men trapped by a cave-in. at a remote silver mine might still be alive.'

(UPB - The state water resources board hearing on Portland General Electric's application , for a license .to build Round Butte dam on the Deschutes river came to a close Friday with reams of testimony added to the files. The hearing lasted all week. The spawning habits of sal mon and rainbow trout were aired by Charles Campbell, biologist for the state game commission. : ; Campbell appeared under subpoena and testified that spring chinook and steelhead salmon do spawn on the main stream of the river below Pelton dam. He was called by opponents of the dam. He said that rain bow trout ; are believed to spawn in the same area but added that it was not a proven fact. . v Opponents of the project are trying to prove that reduc tion of streamflow, proposed impair spawning beds down in plans for, the dam, 'would stream. . - Fish Uncertain Campbell and other biolo gists who appeared at ' the hearing qualified their re marks about spawning and the uncertainties of the habits of fish. - - . - Campbell. commented: "One thing about ' fish - if you ever pin them down to one thing, the next one's go ing to make a liar out of you. Campbell"- said the game commission estimates that some 15,000 to 20,000 mature steelhead salmon : enter the mouth of the Deschutes river compared to the approximate ly 1,500 that pass Pelton dam. He said the balance are either taken by anglers or spawn in the lower reaches of the river. Proposed operation of Round Butte dam would decrease streamflow to 3,000 cubic feet per -second in April of low water years. April minimum flows over, the last 10 years have ; averaged 5,047 second feet with., the lowest of the period at 4,020 second feet. : Campbell testified that a re duction from 4,000 second feet to 3,000 would reduce the satisfactory spawning a r e a but added that a 3,000 second feet.flpw is also possible un der natural conditions. ; Campbell also told the hear ing, that experience with main taining, trout fisheries in res ervoir conditions is second to natural " conditions. He . cited as an example the Lookout Point - dam reservoir on the Middle Fork Willamette river as "practically a 'loss to us from the game fish stand point:? - V '. : : The state -game and ,' fish commission -have taken a stand against tne proposed dam before the. state hydro- electric commission but not before the water . resources board. The Izaak Walton league has also come out against the project, as have individual fishermen. . . . - -The - Portland Chamber of Commerce has1 recommended the dam "subject to such mod ifications as the board may deem necessary to safeguard I migratory fish and to enhance recreation.
