The Senate passed the bill last year and Democrats have increased their strength there. and the party widened its House 'majority even more, so it appears that a decade of con troversy will end in victory for the proponents of health bene fits administered under the So cial Security system and fi nanced by payroll taxes. The Ways and Means Com mittee will decide the exact provisions of the bill sent to the House. Associated Press reporters reached 396 of the 435 House members with questions about health-care legislation. Majority For Bill Of these, 175 said unequivo cally they are for the adminis tration legislation and 25 more said they are inclined to vote for it. Perhaps more significant ly, only 21 recorded themselves as opposed to any further gov ernment action in this field. Reactions of the remainder varied, but the biggest bloc 115—said they want enactment of some plan for health benefits for the aged, other than the Johnson plan. Twenty-nine representatives said they are wholly undecided, six said they are uncommitted, but inclined to vote against the administration bill, and 25 re fused to state their positions. The members definitely or, probably for the administra-1 tion proposal total 200,, which is only 18 votes less than abso lute majority of the House. There seems no reason to doubt the proposal will pick up that number from among the 93 unaccounted for because mem bers could not be reached, re fused to reply or said they had not made up their minds. Showdown Vote Moreover, some of the 115 who prefer other plans may vote in a showdown for the ad ministration proposal rather than nothing. The administration program calls for hospital and limited home health services to those over 65, administered through the Social Security system but separately financed. Additional payroll tax and some general funds for persons already 65 and not under Social Security would be used. There would be no income or property test for qualification. These general principles are expected to survice the commit tee's rewriting of the legisla tion during the next few weeks.

Model UN To Open This Friday By ROBERT ROPELEWSKI The opening of the third annual Model United Nations Friday in the Hetzel Union Building will mark the climax of several hectic weeks of behind-the-scenes work by a number of graduate and undergraduate students. These are the students who helped prepare and catalogue the bibliographies for all information used in the Model U.N., arranged the U.N. documents in a reserve section of Pattee, and who will advise two of the major commit tees. Elizabeth Ramadass (gradu ate-political science -Lemont) has been preparing all of the major bibliographies being used by student delegates to the event. This task consisted of indexing all the various U.N. debates to establish the positions of coun tries on each of the issues being considered next week. Joseph Mastro (graduate-polit ical, science-Amber),- G e o r-g-e Payette (graduate-political set= ence-State College) and Neil Zimmerman (sixth-arts and let ters-New York) have been work ing to organize the U.N. docu ment reserve in Pattee. All that remains to be done by the student delegates to the Model U.N. will be to refer to the catalogued material and become acquainted with the problems they will be dealing with. To aid the students in their preparations, Elton Atwater, professor of political science, will advise the committee on H- I !lances, and Henry S. Albinski, assistant professor of political science, will advise the commit tee on the recognition of Red China. Howard Becker (graduate political science - Cheltenham) will act as advisor for the com mittee on Portuguese territories in Africa, and Richard Rhone (graduate-political s c i e n c e- Muncy) will advise the commit tee dealing with the Cyprus prob lem. Rhone is particularly well qualified for this duty. He has been serving as an intern at the United Nations in New York, acting as a research aide for the Cyprus delegation at the U.N.

In the 17th medical bulletin since the 90-year-old states man began his struggle against death, Churchill's per sonal physician, Lord Moran, said after his second visit of the day: "Sir Winston has had a restful day but there has been some deterioration in his condition." After studying the pattern of the medical bulletins since Churchill suffered a cerebral thrombosis—a stroke— more than a week ago, a British Medical Association spokesman commented: "It is inconceivable that he can recover from this." Buddhists Riot In Saigon Buddhist rioters attacked the U.S. Information Agency library and battled security forces throughout Saigon in an effort yesterday to unseat Premier Tran Van Huong. Skirmishes persisted into the night. The disorders, touched off by a rally of about 450 yellow robed monks and nuns in front of the U.S. Embassy, had openly anti-American overtones. Some banners paralleled the Viet Cong propaganda line. One, though looking-innocent, - was-identical to a slogan of the Corn nitinist 'guerrillas: "We desire democracy, freedom and peace for the Vietnamese people." Monks and nuns carried these and other banners in a 10-block march through Saigon to the U.S. Embassy in defiance of government orders against street demonstrations.

Walker, said Wednesday in a speech to Penn State faculty members that the suggested establishment of a state university in Pitts burgh may have some merit. "The Board. of • Trustees of The Pennsylvania. State Uni versity believes it is their re sponsibility to serve all . the Comonwealth's citizens, .a n d that includes those of the big metropolitan areas as well As the center of the state,".Wilker said. • `lf we are asked to study the matter by the Allegheny County Commissioners, or any other responsible group of citi zens, we will do so. And if studies show there is a need; we will seek the necessary, ap provals to establish such a cam pus." Views Requested President Walker's comments came in response to a request of his views on statements pub lished by the Pittsburgh Post- Gazette Tuesday from Edward W. Eddy, Jr., Chatham College President. According to the Post-Gazet te, Eddy said he thought a low cost, four-year state university is one of the Pittsburgh area's most pressing needs. Eddy also believed the talk about community colleges is deceptive because it leads po tential students to believe such a school would fulfill all the educational needs in the Pitts burgh area. It was Eddy's view that the University should 'ad minister,-state universities in both Pitsburgh and -Philadel phia. "Certainly Pittsburgh and I Allegheny County will need more places for students and possibly new colleges in the next decade," Walker said: "Un fortunately, there will not be room for them in University Park because we do not expect more than a 25 per cent in crease at that location. Per .haps a major campus •in .the Pittsburgh area is the answer." Allegheny Location According to the Post-Gazet te, J. C. Warner, retiring presi dent of Carnegie Institute of Technology, said it is obvious that Western Pennsylvania needs "a publicly supported, :relatively 10W-tuition, • not too highly selective university," but he emphasized that it "must be in Allegheny County, not in Indiana." Warner referred to a pro posal recently from Indiana State College that it become a state university from the Pitts burgh area. "All 14 of our state colleges and Penn State are• located in rural areas to the exclusion of the two major urban areas,. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia," Warner added. It seems to be inevitable that the people in these areas' will soon demand a state university."
