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.
PROJECTS SLOWED

highway department said P'rl
riay that $13.2 million of its

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

plated by the 1001 legislature,

being nominated for gover

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

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

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

termine if setting a maximum

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.
