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

Gun Service Shop
Opens In Medford
A firearms service shop has
been opened at 106 South
Grape st. by Bren Starcher,
Medford.
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.

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.
