Marlow Explains Kennedy's Stand On Medicare Proposal By JAMES MARLOW Associated Analyst WASHINGTON AP) One of the best insighls into President Kennedy's policy of not making people mad at him shines through his handling of the medical care for (he aged bill. He's all out for the Anderson- King bill. Another program for giving the aged medical care, the Kerr-Mills Act, has been law for almost two years. It's much more limited in scope than the Anderson-King measure. Kennedy is pushing the latter because he doesn't think the Kerr- Mills Act goes far enough or covers enough people, Kerr-Mills Act is one of the Kennedy administration's main obstacles in getting passage for the Anderson-King bill if only because it is backed by Kennedy's main opponent, the American Medical Association.

The AMA's position is that the Kerr-Mills Act is good, goes far enough, and will get better. Yet, the administration has been very gentle and sparing in criticism of (he Kerr-Mills measure. Back in 1960 Congress passed this act sponsored by two powerful Democrats, Sen. Robert Kerr of Oklahoma and Rep. Wilbur Mills of Arkansas.

As chairman of his committee le's in a key position to damage the administration in other programs. Actually, in olher programs he's been a big help. On the Anderson-King bill, however, he's keeping it bottled up in his committee and keeping it from gelling up on rhe House floor for a vole. But you never hear any criticism of him from Kennedy or his administration. Kennedy never even referred to the Kerr-Mills stumbling block in his nationwide talk from Madison Square Garden last Sunday.

That speech, off the cuff, was not one of Kennedy's best. Although it had been planned at least two months ahead of time, the President didn't seem to have prepared himself thoroughly. lie made a glaring mistake twice when he told millions of listeners that the Social Security tax lo pay (or his medical care plan would cost them $12' a month That would be $144 a year. Actually, it would cost $12 a year. While it's true Kennedy's handling of the steql price increase made some businessmen mad al him, his handling c' the medica! care program is a typical exam pie of "now he tries lo do the op posile day in and out.

Under this program the fcder government shares expenses witiij states which set up a system foi I I I providing medical care lo needy ft 111 I old people who may be able lo' 1 1 7 3 I pay their living expenses but not their medical bills. But not all states have set up such a system. The AMA says 38 states have. The Health, Education and Welfare Department says only 27 have. And each state sets its own standards.

Thus in one slate a person with over $1.800 income can't get help under the Kerr-Mills Act. in nn- olher a person iviln over $1,200 income can't. And the kinds of benefits vary.

March about Rfi.Oflo people, according to HEW, qualified to receive aid under this system but three-quarters of them were in only four states: New York, Massachusetts, California, and Michigan.

So the Kennedy administration is campaigning now for a program which, it thinks, would cover more people not only better but in the same way everywhere, without variations or tests for income. This one is sponsored by two other Democrats: Sen. Clinton Anderson of New Mexico and Rep. Cecil King of California. It would work like this: Let all people over 65--if they're entitled to receive Social Security or Railway Retirement benefits- get hospital and nursing care at a cost of no more than $90 and for months at a time.

The cost for this would be paid by a slight boost in the present Social Security lax. The government, however, would not pay these people's doctors' bills. They've had to pay those themselves. And not everyone qver 65 would be covered by this program, ei- I'ner. The administration figures about 14 million out of 18 million over 65 would get the benefits.

But Rep. Mills, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and a major opponent of Ihe Kennedy backed Anderson-King bill, is more than just an exlreme- ly powerful Democral. Gets Honor For Service D. Paul Oswald, Bridgeport weather observer, has won more recognition, by inclusion on, a Weather Bureau publication devoted to honoring voluntary weathpr observers. He is one of 20 men and women ivhose photographs and biographies were chosen for inclusion in the publication.

Only a handful of observers in (he nation have served as long in this unpaid task Mr. Oswald. The publication also includes a map, snowing the locations of the 20 weather observers' stations. The Wealher Bureau points out that Mr. Oswald' has been taking observations officially since 1909, but did the work under a brother's name as far back at 1902.

The weather station has been operated continuously by his family since his father began it in -1898. The Weather Bureau made a recent survey showing that each observer averages 4.4 hours a month on observations and hours monthly on furnishing information and asking question; about the weather. In 50 years this equals 585 eight-hour work days. "Data collected every day by voluntary observers serve many useful purposes in Ihe economy and development of our Ihe Weather Bureau added. The country's thanks go out lo those Ihousands of observers who, da afler day, al considerable sacrifice of personal convenience, observe and record the weather all parts of the United States." BALTIMORE A A baby suffering from jaundice received a blood transfusion under a court order and was in satisfactory condition al University Hospilal Thursday.

The judge signed Ihe order afler hearing testimony that fhe baby would suffer brain injury and possibly death without (he transfusion.

The resident of the Williams- porl-Grcencastle Road was stunned at his home near Kemps by ightning that damaged two build- ngs, a cistern, and wiring within few feet of where lie was sland- ng between his house and garage on a concrete walk. But the elderly man bad been ainting a bicycle and he lolding the vehicle by its landlebar grips when the bolt of struck! He believes that this provided at least partial 1 grounding through the rubber ties, saving him from the full force of the boll.

The lightning charred a corner of Ihe house, burned oul Ihe wiring in the garage, melted thr fuses, blasted a bole in Ihe ground by the cistern, and apparently vaporized the and insulation running between the house and garage, because no Irace of them could be found. Dozens of persons in the neighborhood visited the house last nighl to see the damage that resulted and talk lo Ibc man who made the miraculous escape. Mr. Everitts was temporarily deafened, but he had recovered sufficiently to go about his usual chores last evening. The Clear Spring High School 1 shop boys have built a 50-pound 4-foot crystal ball.

It's not Ihe kind of crystal ball used to tell your fortune. although it should bring some bright spots lo the seniors Friday night at the Senior Prom. You guessed it. The crystal ball is the kind used at dances lo flash romantic lights into I'ne air as it revolves. If purchased, the ball would have cost about according to Morris E.

What prompted the of a crystal ball? There havo jeen many senior proms in days gone by. It seems Clear Spring has' el-1 borrowed the only otHef crystal ball in the county from North High.

But this year there are conflicting dates for Ihe proms of the two schools. The North High Shop constructed its; crystal, ball a number of years ago. All the material for the Clear, Spring ball was collected from scraps around the county with the exception of the glue, plywood aud mirrors. Three Hagers- loini companies, Pittsburgh and Glass, and the Glass Shoiv: donated the mirrors. boys Iried breaking mirrors, but this resulted in the experimentig with the mi "iy irregular pieces.

So th for the 106 boys in the iop program. There was pattern making for the ribs of plywood that furnishes the skeleton for the ball. There gears of a juke box automatic changer and a 78 revolutions-per- minute molor to find the right speed to turn the ball.
