Newspaper Page TextKennedy Calls for Steps To Combat Pollution of Air MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOHD. OREGON THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1963 I Washington -0JPD- President Kennedy has called tor a - broad federal program to com 7 bat air pollution in light of T recent scientific reports link ing it to heart problems and -to increased susceptibility to 1 respiratory diseases. . The President did this in .the special message he sent .Congress Feb. 7 on "improv 1 Ing American health." Fea tures of the program, sub " merged in the many other as- pects of the health message, ; included: -Proposed legisla t i o n to .' authorize the Public Health . Service "to engage in a more - Intensive research pro gram '. permitting full investigation of the causes, effects and con trol of air pollution." . Stimulation To Statu -Federal "financial stimula- tion to states and local air pol lution control agencies through project grants which will help them to initiate or I improve their control pro- gram." -A proposed bill for the " Public Health Service "to con . duct studies of air pollution - problems of interstate or na " tion-wide significance." -Authorization for the serv ice "to take action to abate " interstate air pollution, along the general lines of the exist ing water pollution control enforcement measures." The President told Congress that leading scientists in the past year have stressed in re ports "that there is over whelming evidence linking air pollution to the aggravation of heart conditions and to in creases in susceptibility to chronic respiratory diseases, particularly among older peo ple. Annual Damagt "Economic damage from air pollution amounts to as much as $11 billion every year in the United States," Kennedy said. He said the farm losses alone totaled $500 million a year, with crops becoming stunted or destroyed, live stock becoming ill, and meat and milk production being re duced. "In some 6,000 communis ties various amounts of smoke, smog, grime or fumes reduce property values and -as dramatically shown in Eng land last year - endanger life itself," the President asserted. "We are currently spend ing 10 cents per capita a year in fighting a problem which costs an estimated $65 per capita annually in economic losses alone," the President said.

And, as impressive as the exterior may appeal to you, it doesn't even hint at the intriguing scheme con ceived for the interior. Not until you step into the entry does this new design reveal itself with full impact. As an example of good cir culation planning, the house is a standout. Foot traffic is directed to all parts of the house from the front entry. The quiet and formal living room is just off the entry. A wide picture window of fers a view to the street while cross ventilation is provided by a shoulder high window at the end wall. This high window will not interfere with furniture arrangement. No divider has been used be tween the living room and dining ell so that one room flows into the other and both areas appear more spacious. Next to the rear entrance is a half-bath an especially thoughtful provision for chil dren playing in t h e yard. More important, it eliminates the necessity for them having to constantly track through the house to the family bath. The kitchen is a complete step-saving work center in which you will feel like a queen. Note the wide pantry next to the built-in oven. An eating bar over ten feet long plus other cabinets are the only separation be tween the kitchen and family room. The open planning of these two rooms makes this a multi-purpose area of great flexibility. Sliding glass doors along the wall next to the patio make friends with the out-of- doors. A partial wall sepa rates the family room and the hall. This open planning plus the glass wall greatly expands this room visually. This plan should appeal to those people who always need more storage space. There are 26 feet of wardrobe, all with storage drawers below. Four closets open onto the hall while a broom closet is in the service. The door of the over sized garage has been offset to provide a storage wall, and there is a 70 square foot storage shelf at the rear of the garage. Here is bathroom splendor within your reach. It has both a tub and shower, a recessed water closet and two pullman lavatories, separated by a lin en closet.
