    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.

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.

LI. Lyle C. Perkins, head

the Mcdford polio depart
ment, has been invited to in

forcement officer training
school at Camp Withycombe
in September.
In a letter to Medford Po
lice Chief Charles P. Champ
lin, the school coordinator,
Capt. Gene Ferguson, deputy
rhief of the Portland police
department, said he hoped
Lieutenant Perkins would be
able to instruct a class on
case preparation.
The school, which Is ex
nectcd to be attended by
about 2.1 law enforcement of
ficers from throughout the
state, is scheduled Sept. 9
through 21.

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.
