Government Estimates
Additional SSA Benefits
WASHINGTON (AP) ArMhinn
of old-age hospitalization protec
tion to federal social security
benefits would cost at least a
billion dollars a year to start, the
government estimated today.
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

Arthur S. Flemming.
The report contained no reeom-

Proposals to add federal hospi

committee, but House leaders
have ruled out any action on them

The 117-page study of old age-

1. There are aoout 15 miiaon

creasing because of medical ad
vances.
2. About 43 per cent, or two out

3. Most social security pension
ers have a low or limited income.

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

The Flemming reports esti

varied according to types of bene
fits. In round figures, however, a
I960 initial cost of a Billion dol

minimum. Cost estimates by oth

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.
The victims of the flash fire
were Terri Lee Jones, 18 months,
and Allen David Jones, 6 months,
the children of Mr. and Mrs.
David Allen Jones. Mrs. Jones
suffered third degree burns on the
upper part of her body. Jones was
cut on both hands and wrists and
was treated for shock.
Cause of the fire was not de
termined. But it apparently flared
suddenly in the three-bedroom i
house which is located in a Clack
amas County community just
south of Portland.
Fireman Robert E. Fero of
Gladstone entered the burning
house and brought out the two
children. But efforts to revive
them fatted.

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.

The Rockefeller forces appear
fully satisfied that the commit

ton B. Morton of Kentucky, will

contest.
Morton was chosen unanimously
to succeed retiring chairman

GREAT? 1ST
LANSING. Mich. (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.
