Nixon Abandons
Ike's Proposal
On Medical Care
'Preventive' Care
Features New Plan
Washington - (UPD - Vice
President Richard M. Nixon
split'with the Eisenhower ad
ministration's p r o p o s al on
medical care for the aged
Saturday and endorsed a new
plan featuring a broader pro
gram of "preventive" care.
Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R-
N.Y.), presented the plan in a
Senate speech and later claim
ed Nixon's support at a news
conference. A Nixon spokes
man then confirmed that the
GOP presidential n o m i nee
had worked in the prepara
tion of the plan and favored
its adoption;
The Senate finance commit
tee has already approved a
bill that would provide medi
cal care to persons over 65
under public assistance ma
chinery administered by the
states. A similar bill was ap
proved by the House.
Opposes Tax Increase
The Eisenhower administra
tion has indicated it would
accept either approach but
has served notice that it op.
poses any move to finance
medical benefits by increasing
social security payroll taxes.
Democrats are backing a
measure to provide medical
care at age 68 under the so
cial security system.
Richard Bean, Nixon's as
sistant press secretary, told
newsmen that Arthur S. Flem
ming, secretary .of health, edu
cation and welfare, also had
worked on the Javits propos
al. That statement suggested
the administration may.be
ready to shift its position, but
Javits made no such claim.
Saltonslall Switches ,
Among co-sponsors of Ja
vits' proposal, however, was
Sen. Leverett Saltonstall (R
Mass.), who had offered the
administration's "medicare"
program. Aides said Salton
slall will support the new plan
instead. r,

More Than 100 Flee;
No Casualties Listed
Foresthill, Calif. - (UPD - A
man-started forest fire de
stroyed two California towns
Saturday and roared on 'un
checked after more than 100
persons fled its fury, leaving;
their belongings behind. J
No casualties had been re-!
ported, however.
The fire raced up the west
ern slope of the Sierra, threat
ening this town of Foresthill,
which has a population of 500
persons, where refugees from
other nearby towns have been
coming. A forestry official es
timated that 2,000 persons live
in the area of the blaze.
The fire destroyed the town
of Michigan Bluff, population
100, seven miles west of here,
burning about 50 homes, and
the town of Bath, which has
about 20 residents.
All of the destroyed towns'
residents fled as did the 25
persons who live at Bakers
ranch, which also was threat
ened by the fire.
Mike Brock, state division
of forestry ranger, said that
with five houses here and
five there ' it's hard to tell
whose home is burned down."
Firefighters were using
three planes and 200 to 300
men on the ground In an ef
fort to quell the blaze. Some
of the men came from as far
as Fresno, 200 miles to the
south.
The American Red Cross
set up emergency headquar
ters in the Foresthill Memor
ial hall to care for the fire
refugees.
Residents from Michigan
Bluff said they had to leave
their homes with no time to
take any belongings.
City to Receive
Annexation Poll
The opinion poll on , the an
nexation of an area south and
west of Medford will be pre
sented to the city in about 10
days, according to Wallace B.
Brill, polling committee chair
man.
Brill said that the commit
tee will then ask the city to
conduct a study of the area to
indicate which parts would be
accessable for sewerage.
With this information, the
committee hopes to be able to
determine an area which can
be both sewered and success
fully annexed.
Compromise Not
Possible Miller
No compromise solution to
the proposed Phoenix-Talent
boundary change is possible,
according to County Judge
Earl Miller.
It had been suggested that
perhaps the Jackson County
Boundary board might decide
to allow the area to be an
nexed with the exception of
Rogue Valley Manor.
Decision, on the question
will come Wednesday after
noon when the boundary
board meets. This decision
will be announced Thursday
morning. Miller said.

On Dominican

Dominican Delegates
Stalk Out of Meeting

Foreign ministers of the West
ern hemisphere, including U.S.
Secretary of State Christian
A. Hcrter, voted 19-0 Saturday
to impose drastic sanctions
against the dictatorial Domin
ican Republic shortly after
the Dominican delegation
stalked out of the conference.
The move, including an im
mediate diplomatic boycott
and an arms embargo, is un
precedented 1 in the hemis

the foreign ministers, who
were meeting under the aus
pices of the Organization of
American States, all the more
bitter to the Dominican Re
public.
Dominican Foreign Minis
ter Porfirio Herrera Baez and
his delegation walked out of
the conference room a short
while before the dramatic
vote was taken, accusing the
OAS of a "violation of our
sovereignty."
Complaint by Venezuela
The ministers acted on a
complaint by Venezuela that
Dominican dictator Rafael
Leonidas Trujiilo had backed
an assassination attempt
against President Romulo Bet
ancourt and perpetrated other
crimes against international
law and human dignity.
Nineteen of the 21 Ameri

The sanction measures vot

resolution. The permanent
OAS council will proceed to
implement the resolution by
asking member slates to sever
diplomatic relations with the
