All are of New York City.

The YSA, which bills istelf as the fastest-growing radical organization in the country, voted to expend its best efforts in 1972 to the campaign of Linda Jenness and Andrew Pulley who are running for president and vice president on the SWP party ticket. Both the YSA and SWP are Marxist organizations and consider themselves followers of Leon Trotsky, the Russian Communist who was forced out of Russia by Stalin and later murdered in Mexico. All three of the top leaders elected here at the close of the 11th annual YSA convention are members of the SWP and they said SWP members usually hold the top offices in the YSA, despite the fact that only about a fourth of the YSA members are also members of the Socialist Workers Party. YSA feels the SWP is the vanguard in the United Stated and we are in complete solidarity with she said. people who join the YSA who have the desire to make a more firm committment decide to join the Miss Miller said the YSA will work to build support for the SWP ticket high schools and college campuses because we have an alternative to the Democratic and Republican look at how many votes we she said.

In the course of the election campaign it will be possible for the YSA to double its membership. This was the case in The YSA currently has about 1,500 members. Rose said.

About 1,200 persons attended the Houston convention, but many of them were not members of the YSA. Most of the convention delegates did not fit the popular concept of a youthful radical, despite the fact their average age was 22. The YSA members dress rather conservatively, usually wear their hair short and sport few beards. They also said they reject drugs, pointing out too easy for members to be arrested on drug charges. The YSA will set up campaign organizations on more than 1,000 college and high school campuses, the convention decided.

They will also attempt to hold presidential preferential primaries on campuses. The elections, called will also poll students on their views on the war in Vietnam, abortion reform and black and Mexican-American movements.

The cold-but not the freezing moisture-struck all the way through the southern tip of Texas at Brownsville in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, where temperatures dropped 17 degrees in 25 minutes to 52 at 8:30 a.m. Forecasts called for freezing throughout the valley tonight, but there was no indication yet that winter vegetables will be harmed. Even near Austin, where dangerous street icing is rare, some nearby schools closed, such as those at Dripping Springs and Leander.

Some streets were closed. The Greyhound bus that overturned hit a slick spot on U. S. 77 north of Hillsboro, fishtailed, went into a ditch and overturned.

In testimony before the redistricting board last year Mauzy and other witnesses advocating single-member house districts contended that the high cost of county-wide races makes virtually essential for a candidate to have the backing of wealthy businessmen to win an election.

Curtis Graves of Houston, who contends Senate districts in his county were gerrymandered to keep a Negro from being elected to the Senate. Attorneys for Graves attempted to show that the Senate plan engineered by Lt. Gov. Ben Barnes was devised by Houston businessmen. David Berg, one of lawyers, said Robert Spellings, top assistant, asserted in a he drew urban Senate districts for the board in l-'2 days.

Dr. Richard Murray, a University of Houston political science professor, said it was impossible to draw districts so quickly unless one was working from a pre-existing plan. He said there are striking resemblances between the final plan and one proposed by the Houston Chamber of Commerce. statistical probabilities of those two plans not being interconnected are practically Murray said. Graves said the plan divides the central black population among four districts in such a way that a Negro could not be elected senator least for the next 10 Harris County now has one Negro Senator, Barbara Jor dan, who is a congressional candidate this vear.

Another board informant said some of the public members, possibly all five, wanted 7 per cent. The public members have consistently taken a hard line. Business members have sided with the public members in laying down tough rules, rather than with the labor members in applying the rules loosely. For example, business members voted for the original 5.5-per-cent guideline, then turned around and voted in favor of the only two contracts approved so far, both of which Dav concedes ex- Hospital Deduciinte on Medicare Coes up hospital deductible under the Medicare program will go up to $68 beginning in January said Wayne Klipping of the Vernon social security office today. Since hospital costs rose substantially in 1970, the law requires that a higher deductible be set to become effective next January.

Under the formula in the law, the new hospital deductible is based on the ratio between hospital costs in 1970 and the costs in 19766. the year Medicare began. The ratio is multiplied by $40 and the result rounded to the nearest $4. The result is an increase from $60 to $68. in the deductible does not change the fact that a Medicare patient can still have up to 60 days of covered services in a hospital with cost to the patient only Klipping said.

He went on to say that changes will also be made in the amounts a Medicare beneficiary will pay when his hospital stay is longer than 60 days or a posthospital stay in an extended care facility is more than 20 days. If a Medicare beneficiary is in the hospital more than 60 days, he will pay $17 a day for the 61st through th 90th day. If he has a posthospital stay of over 20 days in an extended care facility, he will pay $8.50 a day of the cost for the 21st day through the 100th day. If he needs more than 90 days hospital care in the same benefit period and he chooses to draw on his lifetime reserve, he will pay $34 for each day used instead of the present $30 a day.
