Newspaper Page Textemo Leaders Seek Election Victory Out of Medicare Loss (ennedy Wants Program Backers Washington -lUPli- Stung by obviously was disturbed by ail Unions To Air Dismissal Plans 13,000 Firemen defeat of President Kennedy's cherished medicare program, Democratic leaders launched a drive today to translate the biggest setback of his admin istration into victory at the polls in November. Within an hour after the Senate voted 52-48 to kill the program, the chief executive announced he would follow In the footsteps of such pre.i dents as Franklin D. Roose velt and Harry S. Truman and seek reelection of a more sympathetic Congress. Targets Undisturbed The targets of his wrath primarily a combination of Republicans and southern Democrats, professed to be undisturbed. Some said their votes against medicare would help rather than hinder their prospects for reelection. There was some historical precedent for their optimism. Presidents rarely have been able to translate their person al bitterness against Congress into votes for their party. But Democratic leaders im mediately set' out to try. At a "school1' here for parly con gressional candidates, Speak er John W. McCormack said the senators who voted against medicare "have made It a real, living dynamic is sue." Disregarding that 21 Dem ocrats joined HI Republicans in voting to kill the program, Democratic National Chair man John M. Bailey said COP candidates would pay a heavy price in November. House Democratic Leader Carl Albert said the outcome "should teach us the lesson of a vote." More Democrats Needed The way to get Kennedy's legislative program through Congress, Albert said, is to "send us 10 to 20 more Democrats." He assailed the Republicans as a "party of complete opposition In ob structionism." Kennedy described the Senate action as a "most ser ious defeat." H killed for this session his proposal to pay for health care for 17.9 million elderly Americans through an Increase in social security taxes. The chief executive said a new medicare bill would be sent to Congress in January. He urged voters to rpgistcr their protest at the polls and "return in November a Con grcra that will support a pro gram like medical care for the aged." While Kennedy spoke spe cifically only of medicare, he the previous defeat in Con gress of his farm program, which he said would save tax payers $1 billion a year, and the sidetracking of federal aid to education. "I think the American peo ple are going to make a de cision in November as to whether they want this bill and similar bills to be passed, or whether they want it to be defeated," he said. The most vigorous foe of the medicare plan, the Ameri can Medical association, said In Chicago that defeat of what it called the "hastily con ceived" proposal was in the public interest. "It would have been in equitable to force wage earn ers to pay substantially higher payroll taxes to provide health care for millions who are able to take care of them selves," the AMA said, race Reelection Of the 31 Republicans who voted against the medicare plan, 11 are up for reelection in November and one, ben. John M. Butler of Maryland, is not running. Eight of the 21 Democrats who opposed the measure are seeking reelection. But all but two of these - Sens. Mike Monrnncy of Oklahoma and Cary Haydcn of Arizona - are from the Deep South and po litically safe from Kennedy's anger. One of those who turned on Kennedy was his old tennis playing friend and political teammate. Sen. George Smathers (D-FIa ). A member of the Senate Democratic leadership as secretary of the majority conference, he al ready has the President's en dorsement. Will Support Friends Kennedy has been cautious so far not to say outright where he will campaign this year. But he has marie it clear that his main efforts will be in support of members of Congress who have gone down the line for his pro grams. Friends and foes alike con ceded that medicare would be a prime campaign issue. Sen. Clinton P. Anderson (D-N.M.) and Jacob K. Javits IR-N.Y.), chief architects of the bipartisan plan, indicated they would try again next year. "Medical care for our older citizens has suffered only a temporary setback," Javils declared. "It will inevitably become law because the need exists." 7 Jackson County Structures Listed in Highway Bid Calls Salem - U'Pli - The Oregon .

Slated To Lose Jobs in August Cleveland, Ohio -WHi- Pres idents of the five railroad op erating unions will meet here Friday to decide what to do about railroad plans to dismiss 13,000 firemen next month, it was announced today. The railroads announced in Chicago Tuesday Ihey would dismiss the firemen Aug. 16 in line with recommendations of a presidential commission which studied railroad man power needs and work rules. President Henry Gilbert of the Brotherhood of Locomo tive Firemen and Engineers, speaking for the unions, said the chief executives of the brotherhoods would meet to discuss the railroads' decision "to unilaterally place into ef fect its demands on 200,000 railroad operatingemployccs." The unions could call a strike of the 210.000 railroad workers the day the new rules become effective. However, President Kennedy could ap point a fact-finding board to study the situation, a move that would delay a walkout for 60 days. Gilbert told a news confer ence the "public interest is di rectly involved." He said the layoffs could have the "attend ant effects of less safe, less ef ficient railroads but at the same time, high profit for fi nancial interests." The unions involved are the Brotherhoods of Locomotive Engineers, Firemen and En ginemen. Railway Trainmen, Conductors, and Switchmen. Gilbert declined to say if a nation-wide railroad strike was in the making but he said the unions would be "pre pared to defend the interests" of the members.
