Norblad Disagrees On Medicare Plan; Offers Own Scheme A 3 By YVONNE FRANKLIN Mail Tribune Washington Bureau Editor't note: Thi it the third in a series on legislation introduced by Oregon'! con gressional delegation. FROM AN ADMIRER Concord. Mass.-iUPH - The Concord Police Department received a 10-pound box of chocolates in the mail Mon day. The card on the box read only "From an admirer." Washington - Rep. Walter Norblad disagrees with the Kennedy Administration on 1U IUCUH.01 c hill under social secur ity, and has introduced his own plan to provide cover age to those over 63 who pay no in- All Franklin -viuo ' persons over 65 who desire medical cover age and who have not earned enough to pay taxes, would file a return with the Treas ury Department, stating that they want to receive a medi cal certificate. In return a cer tificate, worth $125 per per son or S250 per couple, would be sent. They would be able to pur chase private medical insur ance. Norblad's office stated that with this certificate they could buy insurance which would care for complete hos pitalization, doctor's and sur geons' bills and prescribed drugs. All persons would be cover ed regardless of history of past illness; the insurance would be renewable every year; there would be no means test; and those not now covered under social security would be eligible. Norblad has introduced an other bill, HR 3196, which would allow senior citizens to earn up to $2400 and still re ceive social security. Of Benefit To Oregon Most of the bills he has in troduced have to do with matters which especially af fect the economy of Oregon. For instance: HR 4658, which would ex tend the law which requires military housing to be buill of American lumber to in clude all FHA insured con struction. HR 3548, which would amend the Jones Act to al low shipments of American lumber to compete with Can adian by traveling in foreign ships. HJR 262, which would di rect the State Department to use an emergency quota on the importation of softwoods A House Joint Resolution has the same effect as a House Resolution, the Presi dent signs it into law; how ever the enacting clause is prefaced by a number of "w h e r e a s" statements. A House Concurrent Resolution does no, have the force of law, merely states the joint opinion of both Houses. Minor bills introduced by Norblad are: HConRes 95, to provide markers on the Lewis and Clark Trail. HR 4364. to provide for a duty - free spectometer for Oregon State university. HR 1403. to waive certain gas tax requirements for the Capital Transit Lines of Salem. HR 2038, transfer of Bat tery Russell and Fire Control Hill from one department to another. On Armed Services A vetern of 16 years' serv ice in the House of Repre sentatives, Norblad sits on the Armed Services Commit tee, and he and his colleagues let Chairman Carl Vinson of Georgia, in Congress since 1914, introduce all military bills. This is the chairman's prerogative and woe betide the Member who poaches on a southern chairman's pre rogative. In an interview with Nor blad to discuss his legislation, he expressed concern over the stress that Secretary of De fense Robert McNamara is putting on missiles to the det riment of conventional wea pons. He said that at present about the local brush fires ... the federal expenditures and there were no bomber pro- the blockade of Cuba sort of 1 generally supports cuts in the grams on the books and he thing?
