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."

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.
