Kennedy's proposal: io finance medical care for' the elderly through Social Security taxes yesterday won a key victory at the White House Conference on Aging. The Kennedy supporters V'on 9 96 to 77 majority for their plan in seven workshops assigned to make recommendations on financing medical costs of older persons.

The vote was a victory for orginijred labor and its allies and a blow to the American Medical Association, insurance firms, and business groups who favor a federal-state plan of medical care signed into law last year by President Eisenhower. Balloting on the program, which would require higher Social Security taxes on work crs and their employers, was unofficial. But it clearly showed the tide of sentiment in the seven groups. Charles Schottiand, former Social Security commissioner who heads the section that will me formally on the red-hot issue today, said hp expected it to win approval of the 260 delegates. THIS WOULD make it a policy statement by the entire confer-rnce, even though most of the 2.700 delegates have no chance to pass on it.

The medical care controversy sharply split the White House meeting and triggered angry charges by AMA leaders and union spokesmen. The AMA favors the present federal-state program under which persons over fi3 who cannot afford proper medical care can receive certain benefits financed jointly by state and federal governments out of general tax revenues. The AFL-CIO and many other groups consider this approach inadequate. Leaders of two groups attending the conference deplored the con-flirt. But statements by the president of the American Dental Association failed to halt workshop discussion of the issue.

The controversy, subject of a fight in Congress last year, was given additional prominence yesterday when Kennedy received a report recommending a federal medical care program involving a one-fourth of 1 per cent boost in Social Security taxes paid by wage earners and their employers.

Two Hoffa aides purportedly iayed the teamster president's) advice to Anthony (Tony Ducks)! Corallo, and their words were! said to have been recorded in room secretly "bugged" by New York detectives. THE RECORDING, made on June 30, 1059, yesterday was played into evidence before the senate investigations subcommittee, which is exploring alleged links between Hoffa and Corallo in the comrol of New York teamster locals. New York Police Detective Natali Laurendi testified the voices of the Hoffa emissaries were those of Mack Tane and Bernard Stein, officials of Local 239. A third voice was identified as Corallo's. Hoffa was not present at yesterday's hearing, but is scheduled to testify later in the week, perhaps Friday.

Subcommittee aides have not been able to find Corallo. PRIMARILY, the recording! dealt with purported orders Hoffa, as relayed by Tane and; Stein, to drop the Imprisoned president of New York Local 239 from the local's payroll. The senate rackets committee had just produced evidence show ing that the local's titular president, Sam Goldstein, was draw ing his full union salary of 8(i0 a month, plus an expense allowance, while serving a prison term on extortion and bribery charges, Tane quoted Hoffa as saying that Goldstein "has got to go."

That development be- ame apparent yesterday as the newly formed execu tive committee of the 1961 Phoenix Growth Committee went on record as favoring such a move. It was disclosed that the county earlier had requested that its proposed $25 million bond election for a new county building and hospital be teamed with the proposed city election, which might total about $150 million for numerous municipal improvements. It will be the function of the growth committee, eventually to number 500, to study growth needs and recommend to the city coun cil a definite bond figure for the election. Named division chairmen of the Phoenix committee, at a luncheon meeting in Hotel Westward Ho, -were: AUDITORIUM, Read Mullan; aviation, A. Lee Moore; buildings and land, Claude Quebedeaux; finance, Walter Bimson.

Parks and playgrounds, Richard Burgess; streets, Leslie Hei-tel; water and sewers, Allen L. Rosenberg; ways and means, Herb Askins; publicity and public relations, Jack Thompson. All of the chairmen, except Askins, Thompson, Burgess, and Mullan, headed similar study divisions in the $70 million bond election of 1957. However, Askins was the general chairman. Chairman Lawson V.

Smith explained the auditorium division will be a part of the general committee only if the legislature does not pass enabling legislation to create an auditorium improvement district. Mayor Sam Mardian thanked i the executive committee for acceting the responsibility of leading the bond study. Smith told the group that the program, designed to cover tne next five years of growth, will be planned on the premise that, as in 1057. no increase in the city property tax rate of $1.75 will be necessary, The entire committee of 500 will meet in a public hearing Feb. 1 to discuss the bond program.

Proposal passed closer to the east side of Casa Grande. Proposals and bypassed Casa Grande on the west. Bugg said he chose Proposal A after months of study because: It Is the shortest Phoenix-Tucson route; it is least costly from the standpoint of right of way acquisition and disturbance to farms; it affords ready-made access control in the form of a government ditch paralleling the route; and it is closer to other Pinal County communities such as Eloy, Coolidge, and Florence which will be served by interchanges on the Inter state highway. Selection of the route by the highway commission ended many months of controversy in Pinal County communities and Mesa in Maricopa County. All wanted an alignment near theui.

Veronica Homer, 17, is a senior at Parker High School. This trim majorette was asked by the Navajos last week to bring her baton along to Washington and help them in the parade Jan. 20. Veronica goes a long way toward restoring the classic American impression of the little Indian princess kneeling on a grassy bank over her slerder reflection in a forest pool.

The princess part stems from' the fact that her father, Pete Homer a Mohave Indian, recently was re-elected chairman of the Colorado River Tribal Council.
