But Kennedy's aides say Congress is likely to move promptly on only one piece of health care legislation a bill extending Medicare benefits to the jobless. Such a bill is pending in the House. The Kennedy plan would establish a single, mandatory in surance program covering the entire population with full benefits.

The Ford administration, medical profession and congressional sponsors of the more than 20 pending insurance proposals remain deadlocked over such issues as: Whether the plan will cover everyone or only special groups. Whether the services will be comprehensive, or restricted to catastrophic illnesses.

And whether the program should be financed through tax credits, federal or state revenue, or through premiums paid by employers and employes. Congressional leaders like Chairman Al Ullman. i of the House Ways and Means Committee want Congress to move this year on health insurance legislation, which has been stalled for more than two years. "This Congress will be the national health insurance Con- gress." says Ullman. But he adds that it may be November before a bit can be placed before the full House because of pressing energy and tax legislation.

Edgar N. Duncan, an assistant U.S. surgeon general, believes the slumping economy may increase the likelihood of Congress enacting such legislation because of the growing number of Americans faced with rising health bills and no jobs. Sen. Edward M.

FRED STROTHER DOUGLAS WALLACE WASHINGTON (AP) Some members of the congressional fact-finding delegation to Indochina are prepared to recommend additional U.S. military aid to Cambodia. Members of the delegation of seven House members and one senator were expected to present their advice today to the House Appropriations subcommittee that is considering President Ford's- request for S222 million more in military aid to Cambodia. Four of the legislators made public statements firmly in favor of more arms aid, two said they were undecided and two said they opposed more military assistance. However, there was agreement that more medical and food supplies should be sent.

"I think we owe them that much as a result of what we've done to them." He contended it was the United States that involved the Cambodians in the Indochina fighting. He also said he had concluded that Cambodia's fall to the insurgents would result in a bloodbath. McCloskey said he would vote to give Cambodia ammunition, food and medicine until the rainy season begins there around June 1.

After then, the United States should end all aid and remove all personnel, including the U.S. ambassador, he said. McCloskey's sentiments generally were supported by Reps. Bill Chappell John P. Murtha.
