o SUNDAY, AUGUST 28. I960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. ORE. Today fir Tomorrow By Walter The Senate Votes In the voting on the medi cal care measures the Senate proved once more that ours is a Presiden tial system of govern racnt It was the President in office who prevailed as against both Nixon and Kennedy, one Walter LlQpmann sor. Although of whom will be his succes- there was a in the Senate large majority which thinks the President's program is inadequate, such is the power of the President that he was able to defeat this majority. There were 44 votes, all but one of them Democratic, for the Anderson amendment which had the backing of Kennedy. There were 28 votes, all of them Republican, for the Javits-Nixon amend ment which is much more lib eral than the Eisenhower pro posal. But the Senate was in capable of organizing a ma jority 'for a positive measure. Why? Because only the Presi dent can do that kind of thing. TY HIS power to threaten a veto the President is able to penalize and for posi tive legislation to frustrate, a Congressional majority. On the other hand, the voting on Tuesday shows rather clear ly that if Kennedy were in the While House he could easily enough have gotten a major ity for his proposal. He need ed to change only four votes out of the 32 Republicans and 19 Southern Democrats who voted against him. Among these 51 Senators there must have been at least four, prob ably quite a few more, who agree with Senator Kennedy and Governor Rockefeller that the right principle is to base News About Books From the Library Following is a list of new books processed by the Pub lic Library of Medford and Jackson County.

The shop will be known as the Bren Gun Works, and will feature repair and parts service as well as an order business covering other phases of shooting interests. Starcher has been allied for many years with gun repair, the modification of military weapons for sports uses and the development of handload- ing interest in the vauey. Starcher stated that his service will be available to retail outlets which are not equipped to install accessor ies or modify new guns sold to their customers.

Lippmann medical care for the aged on the social security system. It was the threat of the Presi dent's veto and the threat of the President's displeasure which kept the necessary four votes away from Kennedy. The result proved that Ken nedy will be quite justified in arguing that there is no pros pect of a comprehensive medi cal care bill unless he is elect ed. For while the Nixon-Javits proposal has some merit, it would be enormously compli cated to administer and almost certainly more costly to the general taxpayer than the Kennedy Anderson proposal. Nixon, if elected, would face the opposition of a large part of the powerful Democratic majority. On Tuesday they voted unanimously against him. The net result is, it seems to me, that while Kennedy cannot say that he has a unit ed Democratic party behind him, he can say that, if elect ed, he can, and that Nixon cannot, establish a comprehen sive system of medical care for the aged. IN THESE test votes neither candidate was able to form a majority in favor of his own views. But on the question of who will be the more effec tive in leading Congress. Ken nedy was shown to be much the stronger. He mustered 44 voles and came within four votes of a majority for his proposal. Nixon mustered only 28 votes and was 20 votes short of a majority. The figures support the view, which many observers have already expressed, that Nixon if elected will have a very hard time dealing with Congress. The evils of divided government, which have been assuaged by Eisenhower's per sonal popularity and prestige, would almost surely be bla tant under Nixon.
