The added costs would require at least a one-half per cent in crease in the social security pay roll tax. It is now 24 per cent of the first $4,800 of earnings for both workers and employers, and will rise automatically to 4Vi per cent by 1969. The estimates were contained in a lengthy report by the Social Se curity Administration filed with the House Ways and Means Com mittee by Secretary of Welfare Arthur S. Flemming.

It was requested by the committee last year alter Congress voted a ? per rent increase in social security benefits and an increase in the tax rate. Proposals to add federal hospi tal, nursing home and surgical care to old-age retirement bene fits are now pending before the committee, but House leaders have ruled out any action on them beiore next year. The 117-page study of old age- health benefits was limited to tact ual information, with these high liehts: 1. There are aoout 15 miiaon persons m the United stales, mi: or over, and their number is in- creasing because of medical ad vances. 2. About 43 per cent, or two out of every live persons on social security retired rolls, now have voluntary health protection. 3. Most social security pension ers have a low or limited income. increasing the problem of financ ing adequate medical care. 4. Hospital and medical costs are risinu. Of social security pen sioners hospitalized in 1957, the largest group about 85 per cent had medical bills of $1,000 or more. 5. Numerous alternatives to so cial security health insurance are available subsidies to private health insurance carriers,-government reinsurance of private car riers, direct federal assistance to oersons unable to finance t h e l r own medical costs, and stimuia-: ion of voluntary insurance plans. Rep. Aime J. Forand IU-K1) chief sponsor of legislative pro- posals for social security health benefits, said the report confirms the need for federal action. , The Flemming reports esti mates . of first-year health costs varied according to types of bene fits. In round figures, however, a I960 initial cost of a Billion dol lars was indicated as a probable minimum. Cost estimates by oth ers than the Social Security Ad ministration were higher. Blaze Claims Babies' Lives PORTLAND (API Two babies died in a fire which roared through a home in the commu nity of Jennings Lodge early Sun day and their parents were burn ed and injured in futile attempts to save them.

WASHINGTON fAP'-The same! otf-beat campaigning that landed: the 1940 Republican presidential nomination for Wendell L. Willkie apparently is under way for Gov. Kelson Rockefeller of hew ork. Responsible Republicans brought to last week's meeting of the GOP National Committee here reports that supporters of Rocke feller are seeking to enlist busi nessmen, professional men and other political amateurs as Rocke feller backers. A GOP national committeeman who has participated in several presidential campaigns described the tactics as similar to those which helped put Wittkie over. He said he has personal knowledge that bankers, lawyers, doctors, in surance men and others with in fiuence in their communities are being urged to line up behind Rockefeller, The first outward sign of this cropped up recently with the for mation of "Californians for Rocke feller." This self-styled group of "political greenhorns," is headed by Charles Lewsadder, Los An-i geles businessman. A state chairman who supports; Vice President Richard M. Nixon i for the nomination said he knew! o similar activities elsewhere In I behalf of Rockefeller. He predict-i ed Nixon's backers soon wilt be doing the same kind of campaign-; utg. It was explained that Reckeiel- ler himself is standing aloof from these activities. He is holding to! the line that his only ambition is to make a good chief executive for his state. It was noticeable, however, that the governor lost no time to mov ing one of his closest advisers. George L, Hinman, into a seat as Republican national committee man from New York. Hinman will be in a position there to keep close tab on an organization in which a majority of members ob viously favor Non for the par ty's i960 presidential nomination. The Rockefeller forces appear fully satisfied that the commit tee's new chairman. Sen. Thrus- ton B. Morton of Kentucky, will carry oat his pledge ts remain neutral in any Nixon-Rockefeller contest. Morton was chosen unanimously to succeed retiring chairman Meade Alcorn at a weekend sion in which the committee also voted solidly to hold its I960 cos tension in Chicago, the week be-; ginning Jul' 25. Morton conceded at a news con ference that he hsd said some months ago he was inclined to support Nixon for the nomination.

(AP) For all their touted methods, political pollsters have little on Michigan game experts when winter star vation cuts deeply into the state's big deer herd. Nearly 200 state conservation men will strike out for the North Woods about April 15 on a survey to determine the Starvation death total of one of the worst winters in memory. By May 15, they hope to make foot-by-foot search of 540 see- tions of deer country averaging 60 acres. One experienced game biologist is assigned to each three-man sur vey team. , Each man scans an area one chain (86 feetl wide. "We go to great lengths to make these surveys as accurate as pos sible," said ft. A. MacMulian, re search heid of the game division We of course cover only a frac tion of one per cent of the total deer country and any small error compounded when we project: our figures to estimate the total starvation losses," he said. Surveys are run only in years when starvation losses are known io be heavy. The first was in 195J. This is the second one. If the toll reaches the 50,900 estimated loss of 1951, and many game men say it will be more, conservation men will find several hundred dead deer on their sur- vey, macmutmn saia.
