The Army National Guard colonel said his new detachment already has obtained the 10 pilots and 15 enlisted personnel needed to run the facility.

Gorton said the new helicopter unit will he made up of OH-58 Ranger and single-jet Delta Huey helicopters.

UNITED NATIONS (AP)--Kurt Waldheim, Austrian ambassador to the United Nations, was chosen by the Security Council Tuesday to succeed Thant as U.N. secretary general.

Sources at the commission declined to comment on the matter until their press conference this morning. But the Washington Post learned from other- sources that the technical staff has suggested the federal employees' premium increase for 1972 be cut in half. Blue Cross-Blue Shield had planned to raise rates 34 per cent, and that would have boosted biweekly premiums 47 per cent for the average federal subscriber. Two other position papers from the staff would cut the blues' plan ever lower, to 13 per cent or 9 per cent, depending on overall insurance guidelines approved by the commission. It appears, however.

that the limit will be 17 per cent. Vital Matter The commission decision on the Blue Cross plan is of vital importance to federal workers, since about 65 per cent of them now buy health coverage from the firm. What effect a cutback in the proposed rate rise will have on the Blue Cross-Blue Shield operation is unknown. In a letter sent earlier this week to all members of- -Congress, Vice President Joseph E. Harvey said his federal plan paid out 568 million more than it collected in premiums.

"Without the rate increase," Harvey wrote. "an additional loss in 1972 will be at least $146 million. This projection is based on what happened in 1970 and 1971." In what could be a warning that Blue Cross-Blue Shield might pull- out if its 34 per cent proposal is killed, Harvey said if the program is to continue, it must get back on a self-sustaining basis.
