New Medical Care Plan Supporters Win First Test Washington - lift - Senate conservatives indicated Satur day they would concentrate their main attack against a bipartisan medicare plan nn its higher ta cost and com pulsory features. This general line of attack was made abundantly clear Friday as backers of the ad ministration endorsed bill claimed their first victory. It came when 'he Senate rejected a rival GOP spon sored plan that would have scrapped the Social Security approach lo medical care or the aged and financed benefits through direct federal sub sidies. The alternative program was offered by Sen. Thruston B. Morton (R-Ky ). H was de feated easily on a voice vote. Although the vote repre sented the first tangible prog ress on medicare the Senate was not expected to reach a showdown on the measure until late this week. Whatever happens In the Senate, there remained little chance that the House would pass it this year. Sen. A. Willis Robertson (D-Va). chairman of the Sen ate banking committee, led the conservative assault on the bipartisan plan, which was sponsored by 23 senators, in cluding five Republicans. It would finance a basic package of health benefits through higher Social Secur ity payroll taxes on workers and employers, and the elf employed. It would Initially be extended to the aged not under Social Security. n iii nmii idrtlfil i ii ran i n I'Vimr ii J mi i nm if it i iiif CHECK PRESENTED-Allorncy General Robert F.

OREGON, SUNDAY, JULY fl, 1 f2 Contractors Seek Intervention of Goldberg at Talks Hatfield Heads Panel On Welfare Problems By YVONNE FRANKLIN Mail Tribunt Washington Bureau Washington - (Special) -When the question of illegiti macy reared an ugly head during the governors' confer ence panel discussion on Wei fare problems last week, Gov ernor Mark Hatfield wasn't casting rocks at any sinners. But Gov. Ross Barnett of Mississippi thought a prison rockpile was Just the solu tion. Mississippi cuts from the Welfare roles any mother who has more than one ille gitimate child, and the slate has instituted a two-year jail term for both men and wom en who do not support their children. He wagged his head and chortled that the system "pays off." Barnett also maintained ! that Negroes were the sole bearers of illegitimate chil dren in Mississippi, but Gov. Orval Faubus of Arkansas sur prisingly rebuked him by say ing that the rising problem of illegitimacy plagued both races. Gov. Hatfield, who pre sided at -the discussion, low ered his head and did not laugh at Barnett's crude ra cial jokes as did some of the governors, and he later coun tered: "We can institute penalties, but that is no cure. It doesn't solve the problem." Hatfield went on to tell the governors of Alaska, Michi gan, Arizona, Nebraska, Ar kansas and Mississippi that In Oregon programs have been initiated to "send (Welfare) people into the homes lo teach such basic things as how to budget and how to care for children." "We have had excellent re sults," he said, and pointed out that by stressing individ ual rehabilitation attention, Oregon has been able to re move people from the roles faster. The need for schools and churches to deal more vigorously with moral ques tions was stressed. Faubus insisted that some penalties were necessary and the consensus of the meet ing was that rehabilitative work must be balanced by penalties. Hatfield stirred the interest of the other governors by mentioning the work pro grams for able - bodied men on Welfare on nr rompeti live jobs. He said it was working well. Michigan and Alaska use similar programs, and several men questioned Hatfield about Oregon's pay ment ($1 an hour) and use of state and local money to sup port it. Hatfield said that some workers on Welfare have expressed appreciation at being allowed )o gain back self respect through this work. Social workers received their usual lumps from the governor of Arizona who cri ticized them as "socialistic" "over educated" and "usual ly unmarried." Govs. Barnett and Faubus said that the bet ter social workers weren't always the highly educated, but the ones with more com mon sense who knew how to work with people. Newspapers were also criti cized for playing up the sen sational cases of fraud ("a tiny percentage") and ignor ing the constructive work of welfare programs in allevi ating human suffering. In his report to the final session of all the governors, Hatfield said that his group had agreed unanimously on the following points: 1. Wider use should be made of adoption procedures instead of foster homes for dependent children. 2. Outside institutions should be used to strengthen family life. 3. States should do more in classification of cases and assigning specialized social workers to handle them, 4. There should be prosecu tion of errant fathers and evi dence of fraud in welfare pro grams. 5. The state should provide more adequate training pro grams which emphasize prac tical as well as philosophical knowledge. 6: Fullest use ol work projects should be made to reduce dependency.

Spokane -HJPII- Officials of the Associated General Con tractors have asked Washing ton's congressional delegation to join with others from the Northwest in seeking the in tervention of Secretary of La bor Arthur Goldberg In the two-week-old Iron workers strike. The presidents of the Spo kane and eastern Washington chapters of the AGC said Sat urday morning that telegrams have been sent to Sens. War ren G. Magnuson and Henry M. Jackson and Washington's seven representatives. The telegrams, from Jack Crick, Spokane chapter, and Paul Sceva, eastern Washing ton chapter, asked the delega tion to seek the assistance of Oregon and Idaho congress men In officially (.rcking Goldberg's intervention. Crick and Sceva said the continuing strike is causing serious economic loss In the three stales. The Labor department an nounced Friday that Goldberg plans to stay out of the dis pute. That was before an offi cial request for his interven tion was sought, however. The department said at that time that the federal Mediation and Conciliation Service Is the proper agency for han dling the dispute. Local Efforts Failed The two officials said Sat urday that all efforts on the local, state and Mediation Service level have failed to produce results. They stressed In the tele grams that the Ironworkers demands "were almost triple in one year to settlement made nn a three-year basis with other crafts." A possible strike of about 160 workmen at the Pend Oreille Mines and Metals Co., Metalinc Falls, Wash., was averted Friday when negoti ators for the firm and miners came to an agreement on a new contract.
