MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 30. 1962 Cuban Purchase of Russian Trucks Said Financed Through Pan American Health Funds A 5 Mexico City -JIPP- A cen tral European profesional man with Havana connections says the delivery of Russian mil itary trucks to Cuba is being financed by the Pan American Health Organization, an agen cy to which the United States is a prime contributor. The informant, wha would not permit the use of ,his name, said the truck deal has resulted in a $144,000 increase in funds alloted to Cuba for malaria control although the disease is virtually unknown there. He said Cuba is "getting these military vehicles from THE BIBLE SPEAKS TO YOU Sunday, 9:00 a.m. K-SHA-860 kc Tkit week't Christian Science prog rum " 'Getting By' versus Learning To Give." the U.S.S.R. and in effect get ting them paid for by others." Other Latin American coun tries, where malaria is liter ally a life-and-death matter, have been unable to obtain any such increase in funds, the source said. He said Russia set up the deal by insisting that it would contribute to the health organ ization only if it earmarked $98,752-the cost of the Rus sian trucks - exclusively for Cuba. The source charged also 'Senior Citizen' Plan Announced Portland -lUPD Blue Cross of Oregon has announced de tails of its new "Senior Citi zen" program of hospital-medical-surgical protection for persons 65 years of age or older. It said the plan would be offered without requirement of a health statement during December only. If husband and wife enroll together, it is necessary that only one of them be 65 years of age. Frank F. Dickson, execu tive director, said two plans will be available. One will provide 30 days of hospital care plus medical and surgical benefits. A second provides 70 days of hospital care as well as medical and surgical benefits and also, i after six months' enrollment, care in an accredited and up proved nursing facility after discharge from the hospital, I plus doctor calls in the nursing I home and services of a reg I istered visiting nurse in the I home. Both plans will provide benefits for pre-existing con ditions after six months' en rollment, care for mental con ditions and emergency acci dents, Including x-rays, and a surgical schedule up to $300. The 30-day plan will cost an individual S9.80 per month and the 70-day plan will cost $13.50. that scholarships granted by the organization have been used to send young Cubans to iron-curtain countries "for po litical indoctrination rather than medical education." "The Pan American Health Organization increased the budget for malaria control in Cuba from $25,749 in 1960 to $170,286 in the last completed year," the source said. "There has not been a single death due to malaria reported in Cuba in two years. "This compares interesting ly with Honduras, where . . . 727 persons died of malaria In the last reported year (PAHO budget increase: less than $12,000). In Nicaragua, even more persons died of it in the same period (PAHO budget in crease: not quite $36,000). In the Dominican Republic, it is the fourth among fatal dis eases (PAHO budget increase: about $3,500)." Only Nicaragua among the three nations mentioned re ceives as much as half the Cuban budget. Nicaragua re ceived $87,339 in the last re ported period, Honduras $65, 191 and the Dominican Repub lic $64,337. Another Cuban boondog gle in the Pan American Health Organization was the ships to persons recommended by the Havana government," the source said. "The historic purpose of such scholarships award of 53 alleged scholar- is to permit travel and study in Latin America ... In the Cuban allotment, however, students were sent into the iron-curtain countries . . . "Some of the expenses were out-and-out swindles . . . four teen 'scholarships' were of less than two weeks' dura tion." He said Cuba, which re ceives the second - highest budget of the 20 Latin Amer ican states, overspent its al lotment by a record 59 per cent. j SHOP & SAVE 1 ri,7' i 19. 1 , X--iSS35r--' (.,--"" . . m BAS-KET REAL BASKETBALL IN MINIATURE $3.95 FINE XMAS FUN FOR ALL AGES .!..
