MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. THURSDAY. JUNE 23. 1380 12 A. House Set to Pass Scaled-Down Version of Medical Care Bill Washington - IUPI) - The House was ready to pass to day a scaled - down proeram which would provide federal state medical care aid to be tween 500,000 and one mil lion needy old folks. Hie stage was set for roll call approval of the plan when the House Wednesday rejected an attempt to send the bill back to the ways and means committee for more study. Communists Voice Angry Impatience Over Stalled Talks Ceneva - IUPII - Communist delesatcs today expressed angry impatience at what they termed Western stalling tac tics at the stalemated 10-na-tion disarmament conference. The two sides, however, actually were just marking time until the return from Washington of U.S. delegation chief Fredrick M. Eaton. Eaton left Geneva last week end for consultations on fu ture American disarmament policy. Reports from London said the latest allied consultations had not yet resolved n split over whether the West should g6 along with the Soviet de mand to begin disarmament by eliminating all means of delivering nuclcor weapons. Today's session lasted two hours and 45 minutes, in con trast to the four-minute meet ing Wednesday. No one had had anything to say Wednes day, but it was a different story today. The Polish, Romnniun and Bulgarian delegations reiter ated the Communist allega tions that the western powers are stalling because they have no desire for disarmament. U.S. deputy delegate Charles C. Slclle opened with a statement that patient nego tiations rather than abuse would result in working out an alternative to the arms race, a goal he said he was ure the U.S. and Soviet Rus iia shared. The Soviet bloc gave every Indication it was building up to a point where it could break up the conference-blaming western delays-and lake their revised proposals to the United Nations for a big propaganda show. Today's session was the 45th since the disarmament conference began March 15 and to date there has been very little meeting of eastern and western minds. Judge Denies Stay For Doomed Man Walla Walla -IUPII-Superior Court Judge Glen L. Bean has denied a stay of execution for convicted murderer John R. Broderson, who is scheduled to die at midnight Friday. The stay had been request ed by penitentiary Warden Bob Rhay and Assistant At torney General Stephen Way so that a sanity hearing could be conducted for the 35-year-old convict. Broderson was convicted by a Clark county jury of the knife-slaying of a Camas car salesman last November. He was sentenced to death last May 20. Nyssa Woman, 25, Collision Victim Nyssa, Ore.-IUPII-Mrs. Phyl lis Larae Mitchell, 25, Nyssa, died late Wednesday when her automobile slrock a boat and trailer being pulled by a pickup truck. Officers said the accident happened seven miles west of here. Mrs. Mitchell was thrown from the car after the impact and the car rolled over on her, slate police said. The truck was driven by Richard Wayne Pcrcifield, 18, of Marsing, Idaho. The measure would offer federal matching grants to states that agreed to expand their public assistance pro grams to include medical benefits for persons over 65 who can not afford medical care but are not poor enough to be on relief. Would Extend Bentfils The bill also would extend Social Security benefits to 875,000 more workers and make another 450,000 persons subject - to Social Security taxes. . The AFL-CIO has stepped up its drive for passage of a broader medical care pro gram. The organization threat ened to withhold political support from congressional candidates who do not en dorse the Democratic Forand bill, which would expand the Social Security program to pay most medical bills for an estimated 12 million elderly persons. The administration has offered a counter proposal, based on fcderal-state subsi dies for private health insur ance, which also would help about 12 million persons. The administration has of fered a counter proposal, based on federal - state sub sidies for private health in surance, which also would help about 12 million persons. Sen. Pat McNamara (D Mich.), chairman of a subcom mittee studying various medi cal plans, has said he was confident the Senate would "beef up" the House bill. Other congressional news: Wheat: Democratic farm leaders in the House hoped to push through a plan to curb wheat surpluses by lightening production controls and rais ing price supports. The House already has rejected the sup port cutting plan President Eisenhower prefers and also turned down a Senate. passed bill to cut plantings but retain current price props. Influence: A bill to ban backstage attempts to influ ence decisions of federal regu latory agencies appeared to have small chance of passage this year. The House Com merce Committee unanimous ly approved the measure Wed nesday but other legislation probably will crowd it out. Portland Census Figures Found To Be Correct Porlland-lUPIi-The Portland Chamber of Commerce said today it has been convinced that preliminary 1960 census figures, which showed a popu lation loss of 3,289 for Port land since 1950, were cor rect. Thomas W. Delzell, cham ber president, appointed a special committee to make a recheck after the figures were released. He said at that time the preliminary figures didn't seem to jibe with increases in housing, numbers of school children and utility connec tions. The preliminary figures listed Portland's population at 370,339. No Major Discrepancies The special committee re ported that "an examination of individual census tract fig ures within the city indicates no major discrepancies, but rather bears out the belief that this census has been rea sonably complete." Delzell added that examination of the census figures by other criteria support this same belief. The committee found that a net gain of about 12,000 dwelling units within the city in the past 10 years was offset by a decline in the average number of persons per dwelling unit in the city. Young families with children have tended to settle in the suburbs.
