PAGE-2 HERALD AND NEWS. Demo Senators Attack Medical Care Measure WASHINGTON (UP1I -Eight Democratic senators today at tacked the Kerr -Mills medical care program on its third an niversary as "ineffective" in meeting the health needs of the nation's 18 million elder citizens The highly critical majority report issued by the Senate health subcommittee on aging said less than 1 per cent of the country's elderly persons re ceived aid under the program and most recipients were sub jected to "degrading" welfare tests to become eligible. The report was a frank effort to push President Kennedy's long-stalled plan for health care for the aged financed through Social Security. This measure is in the House Ways & Means Committee with no chance for . action this year. Challenged Majority Report Three Republican members of the Senate subcommittee challenged the majority report's conclusions that tho Kerr-Mills program represented an "inef fective and piecemeal" approach to the problem, '. They called the report a "pre i mature judgment based on in- adequate evidence." They also accused the Kennedy adminis j tration of deliberately failing to implement Kerr-Mills. i J The only explanatory material J put out by the Health, Educa : tion and Welfare (1IEW) De ' partment to help the states, the " Republicans said, consisted of : three documents prepared dur ing tho Eisenhower administra tion. The Kerr-Mills program en acted by Congress in October, . 1960, created for the first time '. a new category of public assis '. tance Medical Assistance for I the Aged (MM). ; Provides Matching Grants ; It provides matching federal J grants to the states for health ; benefits for the "medically in- digent," or persons over 65 who ; are not on relief but are too poor to bear the burden of cost ly medical bills.

Barry Goldwater if the Arizona Republican wins the 1964 GOP presidential nomination unless some of the senator's views change. Rockefeller, who plans to an nounce next month if he will seek the GOP nomination, Sun day coupled comments on Gold water with sharp criticism of President Kennedy's foreign and domestic policies. He spoke in a television in terview on ABC's "Issues and Answers." Tho governor recalled that Goldwater had said he would refuse to run on a platform such as the one adopted by the GOP in 1960. This platform, Rockefeller said, represented tho "broad mainstream of the , Republican party." In noting differences between Goldwater's ideas and his own, Rockefeller said the Arizona senator is opposed to foreign aid, regards tlie progressive in come tax wilii distaste and would like to "roll back social gains," such as federal aid to education. In reply to a question, he de clined to state directly that lie would not support Goldwalor. But Rockefeller said: "If lie ran on a Republican platform like the one in 1960, I would support him." In Informal remarks following tlie interview. Rockefeller said, "I'll participate in formation of a ( 10(54) Republican platform regardless of what happens to me." In any case, lie said, lie did not believe the 1964 GOP platform would follow the Gold water line, whoever is the can didate.

Godwin tlien noticed that the victim was choking on his tongue. He held his tongue while Cummins ad ministered artificial respiration until help arrived. Both men said they had had so much survival training that their reactions were "nearly au tomatic." They were praised by a state trooper, who remarked that "there's no doubt about it.

I i St tion that went into tlie lift ap parently has been obscured by the dramatic aspects of flying 16,000 men, including the 14.5110 troops of the reinforced 2nd Armored Division, from Texas to Germany in only slightly more than t hours last week. As a result, the impression in some quarters is that an entire armored division with all or most of its weapons and other heavy equipment can be picked up on short notice and flown to Europe when a crisis develops. This is far from accurate. Equipment Poses Problem "For example," one official said, "the 16,000 men and their light equipment altogether weighed something like 1.500 tons, whereas .the 300 tanks of an armored division alone would weigh ten times; as much roughly 15.000 tons, or 50 tons each. "An attempt to transport by air across the Atlantic all the heavy equipment of such a di vision all the vehicles, artil lery, ammunition, etc. would stagger the imagination of any present-day logistic command." Tlie "big if" in Operation Big Lift, tlie official added, was that the feat was possible only because the heavy equipment had already been deployed, or "pre-positioned" in military ter minology. In Germany, this was done during tlie Berlin crisis of 1061. Equipment for one armored and also one infantry division was stored there, and has been FREE GIFT With This L iiiMiihigriuiia Hfr 2 CYCLE I IDrie. or Domp-D"e, arm 1 ,KJO UOWfV nOWKI t.7 TEC lutC I -r i.T-. 412 M(in ft : f ,.j..'- tures are, front, from left, O.

Other Misconceptions Another misconception ap pears to he that tlie aiflift cap ability somehow improves de fenses against all-out nuclear attack. Such an idea is no where in the Pentagon's calcu lations, which conceded that it would provide no effective de fense against nuclear missiles. Thus, a second "if" in Big Lift is that it is effective only for certain kinds of war, where there is probably some strate gic warning and the heavy equipment either is not needed or has been pre-positioned in areas at least temporarily se cure. This does not mean the oper-' it ion lacks significance, U.S. officials insisted. Prc-positioncd tanks do not spend dollars as troops would, and one division on the scene might he said lo have the inherent strength of almost two if its manpower could be doubled in 72 hours. But tlie lift isn't everything. MEANS BIG-CITY I Ct, CONVENIENCE IN jj ,IT5E dc.' L KLAMATH FALLS jl 1 ii mm Cascade Home Furnishing Buddhist Suicides By Burning S.MGOX, South- Viet Nam (UPIi - A Buddhist priest burned himself to death in flaming gasoline Sunday in the seventh such suicide since the dispute began last summer be tween Buddhist leaders and President Ngo Dinh Diem's gov ernment. Buddhist sources said the priest, 42-year-old Ho Dinh Van, wrote a series of notes to Diem and U. X. Secretary Gener al Thant saying he planned to kill himself to protest "the sup pression of Buddhism" in this nation where three-fourths of the population is Buddhist. An apparent error in timing, however, prevented the seven members of a U.N', observer mission from seeing the priest die. The group, sent here to in vestigate the charges of religi ous discrimination, was in an other part of Saigon at the time. Van's death was watched by a crowd of several hundred persons, including many Bud dhists who knelt and touched their foreheads to the pavement in prayer. The priest chose the street in front of Saigon's Ro man Catholic cathedral, where Diem often worships, as his place to die. The first ritual suicide early last summer, which brought Snow tires are available for, all American-made bicycles. Vern world attention to the Buddhist crisis, also took place near the cathedral. Diem and his family are Roman Catholics but deny that the government crackdow n on the Buddhists is religious discrimination. In their view, Ihe Communists are using the Buddhists to attempt to over throw the government. (S The success of mi eJ M ii J 6 1 eu 1 a HUM BOURBON I i years old wJ I ri t! Hi 1 I Zy .
