Freeman Defends Bureau's Position In Estes Dealings Washington - - Agrl- aiilturc Secretary Orville L. Freeman says he is not clair voyant, and his aides could not peer into Billie Sol Es tes' chubby lace and tell that he was "a bad man. Thus. Freeman told Sen- ale investigators Friday, there was no way the government could have had the foresight to refuse at the beginning to do business with the Texas financier. It was Freeman's second riav In the witness chair be fore the Senate investigations subcommittee, and it appear ed that he would still he there when the inquiry resumes Thursday. Sen. Karl Munrit (S.C.), top Republican on the Senate in vestigations subcommittee, contested Freeman's claim that Estrs' grain storage dealings and other operations had not cost the government a cent. Before End Salaries and expenses for 100 FBI and rongressional invesligators on the case were running $5,000 a day, Mundt said and would amount to at least $500,000 before the In vesligntion ends. Also, he announced, the government missed about $15 million in tax receipts on the $30 million lost by finance companies on Estes' deals. Freeman replied that the government would always have to spend money to en force the law and said he meant that the government has "not lost a single red cent . , . that went Into Bil lie Sol Estes' pocket." Munrit also scoffed at Free man's contention that his de partment gave Estes no fa vors. The senator said Estes' appointment to the National Cotton Advisory council last fall, after the legality of his cotton allotment transfers had been questioned, was favored treatment. But Freeman said Under secretary Charles S. Murphy made the appointment against fiie advice of n department personnel official because he felt the cotton allotment business was a elvil rather than a criminal case.

Former Vice-Presi- Ike Advises Businessmen to Enter Politics Quickly to Cope With JFK Gettysburg, Pa. - WPII - Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower advised business men Saturday to "get inio politics quick" to cope with the KeSinedy administration. Eisenhower and former Vice President Richard M. Nixon were the principal speakers at a gathering of ahout 100 Republican lead ers who met to set up an "All Republican Conference" to speak for the GOP while the Democrats hold Iho While House. Nixon, in his first nation al political appearance since Education Proposal Goes Before Board Portland -HOT A proposed $21 million Increase in high er education funds for the next blennlum went Satur day before the Board of HiRh- er Educations finance com mittee. The sum would set the JD63-65 budget at $00 million, compared to $00 million for the current biennium. The additional money would take care of an expect ed .12 per cent Increase in en rollment during the 1963-H5 biennium. Chancellor R. E. Lieuallen said it would only permit the system to maintain the "qual ity level" of services contem plated by the 1001 legislature, lie said additional requests will be marie for money to pay for additional educational programs and capital improvements. being nominated for gover nor of California, attacked the administration for "the in creasing tendency to central ize power in Washington." Been Wakentd hisenhower said "every businessman has now been wakened up that politics means much more to his busi ness than he thought it had." "therefore, he's got to make politics his first busi ness, he said, because un til we have sound govern ment he is not going to have a prosperous business, not in the long run." Eisenhower said that if the Republican party can get across to businessmen the message that politics and gov ernment are tied closely to their future "we will be on Ihe road to real victory in 10(12, and that is our first objective." ' 1 "For my pari, I think our country is facing a very crill cnl period, and I believe thai only some resurgence of Re publican control over govern ment can keep things on more level keel than they are going on at the moment," Ei senhower said. Eisenhower and Nixon spoke to 'the GOP leaders in a big green and white tent set up in a pasture on the former president s farm. The Republican bigwigs, including congressional lead ers, governors, alumni of the Eisenhower admin istralion and others, met under a bright overcast sky. Nixon said he has found the voters "concerned with the increasing tendency to centralize power in Washing ton." He said the trend could be slopped by strengthening stale and local governments. The answer to biRger root right In thp stales and local communities." Nixon told his audience that he was going to win in his bid to unseat Democratic Gov. Edmund G. Brown of California. Even before Nixon spoke, the pastoral meeting drew a sneer from Democratic Na tional Chairman John Bailey and a cool response from the two top Republicans in Con gress. House GOP Leader Charles A. llalleck (Ind.) said he might not be able to attend Compromise iedical Care Bill Unveiled in Senate Washington - fliPI) - Health care supporters began a drive Saturday for Senate action on a bipartisan compromise to provide medical benefits for all the nation's aged. The compromise bill unveil ed late Friday would invite states and private insurance companies to participate, and would cover about 2.5 million elderly persons President Kennedy's original proposal left out. If passed, it would take ef fect in 1964, and, for three years, provide basic health benefits for 17.5 million per sons over 65, regardless of whether they are covered by Social Security. After. 1967, persons reach ing the age of 65 would have to be covered by general So cial Security to be eligible for the health benefits. Built Around Original The bill is built around Kennedy's original medical care for the aged proposal. It still would pay for coverage through higher Social Secur ity assessments. The necessary increase for a worker making $5,200 or more would be $13 a year, with a similar hike for their employers. This is unchanged from the original versions. The Social Security feature is hotly opposed by the Amer ican Medical Association and manv Renublicans. I Nevertheless, the comnro- mise included five Republi cans among its supporters and apparently assured the fierce ly contested medical care pro posal of at least a vote in the Senate. The bill's backers planned to try to tack the compromise proposal to the welfare bill Monday. The major changes made in working out the compromise would: Covin 2.S Million -Cover about 2 5 million persons not under Social Se curity. Kennedy's original bill would have covered only these persons participating in Social Security. ( -Permit states to set up Proposed Welfare Aid Limit Aired Salem -HOT- The Slate Wei fare commission Friday dis cussed the pros and cons of a proposal to put a maximum dollar limit on Aid to De pendent Children (ADC) wel fare grants. There is no ceil ing now. The Douglas County Wel fare commission queried the state commission on its stand on the question. A chief argument for set ting a limit is that grants to big families are sometimes more than the family's wage earner could make if he were working. The complaint is that this encourages families to stay on welfare indefinite ly. State Welfare Administra tor Andrew F. Juras said he doesn't know what his rec ommendation on this question will be. He also noted re search is being made to de termine if setting a maximum is constitutional. their own health care plans. This would be done by send ing the. participating state a lump sum to provide the basic I health care for its aged. The state could then contract with a private insurance firm for a huge group policy for its citizens, and would be free to add state money in order to buy more extensive benefits. . -Permit participants to continue their private insur ance plans, with the govcrn mcn paying for part of the , premiums, instead of receiv ing the payments directly from the government. -Place the medical care money in a trust fund separ ate from the rest of the Social Security fund. .M-o-v-i-n-g?
