VOL: -65, No. 60
Medicare
Legislation
Predicted
WASHINGTON (/1 3 ) —As of
now, the House would pass
some version of President John
son's 'legislation for health care
of the aged, an Associated Press
poll shows.
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.

Churchill Nears Death
Sir Winston Churchill slipped closer to death last
night after three days of no change in his condition. 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.

SIX CENTS
Calls For
Low-Cost
Education
By RICHARD SPAGNOLLI
University President Eric
A. 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."
