'Tt is important that all workers are fully acquainted with the current and proposed Chamber program of stated Mr.

Wolter. "Once they know what the chamber has done and intends to do in the matter of service to all segments of our business economy, then our campaign workers will be prepared to sell a commodity which will be acceptable to the rank and file. I would not waste my time if I thought otherwise. I am positive that once the several hundred business men and women we seek to affiliate with the chamber, understand what the chamber can do for them, they will want to be a part of Mt.

It would be joined to the existing Kerr-Mills health care prcgram with the states handling administration rather than the federal government. Tlie insurance would be written by private companies. AMA President Dr. Donovan F. Ward said this would provide far more for the elderly witli none of the attendant evils of unpredictable expense, invasion Df medical practice by the federal bureaucracy or disruption of the private health insui-ance industry by government." GOP Senators Plan Here are the major features of the Republican Senate plan: Financing would come from the general Treasury plus contributions by the states and individuals.

2. Tliree plans would be offered participants. They would be a short-term diagnostic package, a long term catastrophic illness plan or a private insurance policy option. .1. Participation would be limited to individuals with an annual income of not more than $3,000 or couples with an income of 56,000.

4. PcU -ticipation would be voluntary for all persons over 65 not on the old-age assistance rolls. 5. All participants would have to pay an enrollment fee ranging from $10 to $120 a year based on income. The federal government would pay 50 per cent of state administrative costs and 60 to 80 per cent of other costs depending on a state's per capita income.

Joining with Saltonstall on the plan are Sens. Thruston B. Morton of Kentucky, Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania, NorrLs Cotton of Hampshire, George D. Aiken and Winston Prouty, both of Vermont. Pennsylvania, Norris Cotton of Major features of the AMA proposal: 1.

Over-65 citizens would enroll in a health care program through a private company. 2. Eligibility of the subsidized program would be determined on the basis of what Ward called a "simple income statement." Under Kerr Mills, a check of the individual's financial status is needed. 3. Premiums for individuals with certain incomes would be paid by state and federal funds.

A sliding scale would be used to set up specific incomes under which percentage of the premium would be paid by government money. Some persons would receive no government help. Ward gave no income specifics. 4. The policies would be provided by Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans and health insurance companies.

The degree of coverage would vary by state. Try Again For Indictments In Rights Murders JACKSON, Miss. (AP) U. S. District Cburt Judge Harold Cox cautioned a federal grand jury today not to be swayed by "any influences inside or outside" as it takes another look into the slaying of three civil rights workers.

A lone Negro spectator sat in the courtixiom as Cox told the 23-member, biracial jury that it was called back into session at the Justice Depai'tment's request. Armed with what it says is a confession, the Justice Department is seeking indictments in the deaths last June near Philadelphia, of Michael Schwerner, 24, and A ndrew Goodman, 20, both of New York, and James Chaney, 21, Meridian. Schwerner and Goodman were white. Chaney was a Negro. The government reportedly rests much of its case on a written statement the FBI claims it obtained from Doyle Bamette, Cullen, La.

Bamette was one of 21 persons arrested last month in connection the June 21 slaying. He and the others subsequently were freed after the alleged confession was ruled inadmissable at a preliminary hearing. A man who refused to identify himself told The Associated Press today tliat Bamette was inside the federal building here. The report could not be con- fiiTned. Before sending the grand jury off to hear the government's new evidence, Cox told the jury, "Don't let anybody inside or outside usui-p your power to reach a decision." This was the second time the grand jury has considered the case.

Last October at Biloxi, the jury listened to evidence but did not return any indicUnents. Jolin Doar, head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, headed the government attorneys as the jury reconvened. The government rests much of its case on the Bamette statement. However, tliere was a report said to have come from government sources that other evidence also includes a statement from another man. The FBI would neither confirm nor deny this.

Charges against 21 men arrested in the June 21 killing including Neshoba County Sheriff LawTence Rainey and Chief Deputy Cecil Price were dropped after a Dec. 10 preliminary hearing in Meridian. U.S. Commissioner Esther Carter declined to admit testimony by an FBI agent on an alleged confession. The government claimed Barnette made a statement to the FBI after a tliree-day period in November.

This came one month after the gi'and jury' took its first look at evidence in the triple slaying and returned no indictments. The jury was scheduled to meet today at the federal cost office building with U.S. Dist. Judge Harold Cox of Jackson presiding. Since murder is a federal offense only when committed on U.S.

property, the Justice Department was expected to press for civil rights violations. If no indictments are returned, thei-e is a possibility state charges might be sought Gov. Paul Johnson said recently that all information would be made available to the district attorney and county attorney and if they felt there was sufficient evidence to warrant an indictment of anyone who has violated the law, those indictments would be sought. The federal government has spent ahnost three months preparing the government's case since the bodies of the three were unearthed from a damsite outside of Philadelphia.

Cargo Plane Crashes Into Sea; 6 Lost HONOLULU AP) A huge U.S. Air Force cargo plane capable of lifting 50 tons plunged into the Pacific Ocean less than a minute after takeoff from Wake Island Sunday.

No trace could be found of its sbc-man crew. Tlie Clai-gomaster exploded and burned as it hit the water about a mile east of Wake. Control tower officials said the takeoff had appeared normal as the four-engine aircraft left the runway. Federal Aviation Agency observers in the tower saw the explosion and dispatched cr-ish boats to the scene. Darkness hampered the search.

After daylight, about five hours after the crash, searchers found debris on the water but no trace of survivors or bodies. Aboard the Dover (Del.) Air Force Base plane were; Capt. Arthur F. Wiegand, 30, Qearwater, the aircraft commander; Maj. Hei-man D.

"The entire program will be designed one to which I pledge my untiring devotion to providing new oiaportunities for the people of Illinois." Kerner pictured the state as being in sound financial health, but gave no hint whether tax increases will be sought to mett demands for more funds. "As to the revenue needs for the fortlicoming fiscal period," he said, "the administration is proceeding in a deliberate, careful fashion in the assessments of needs and priorities." Kerner said revision of the state constitution's revenue article "represents another opportunity critical to the future of the state." "Here, too," he continued, "the call is not for special interest but for especial devotion to the demands of the people for a more equitable tax structure." Tax Article Keunion Witliout giving any details, he said his administration will submit a plan for "effective and equitable revision" of the tax article. Republican Senate leaders already filed a proposal for classification of property and allowing voters a choice on permitting or banning a state income ta.x. Kemer labeled reapportionment an "urgent demand" upon the legislature and said there is no longer any reason to debate the "one man, one vote" principle. He wai-ned the legislators he would veto any redistricting that is not in line with the U.S.

Supreme Court decision requiring both the House and Senate to be reapportioned according to population. "If the principle of 'one man, one vole' is to be violated," he said, "I will not be a party to it." Legislature Ts Divided Kemer said he was optimistic that his administration and tlie politically divided legislature can solve all the top issues if they work together. Democrats control the House and Republicans dominate the Senate. "Let not the majority in the House flaunt their strength. Let not the majority in the Senate abuse theirs." he said.

"One of the growing strengths of lUinois," he added, "is the feeling of unity I have found during my travels throughout this state and which I fii-mly believe has manifested ilseli. "Our people desire a better life lor their children and themselves. It Is our duty to help provide these opportunities so they may achieve it." Mt Vernon Income Tax Office Open January 15 Would Remove Social Security Earnings Limit WASHINGTON (AP) Con- gi-ess should remove the earnings limit for persons receiving social security benefits. Rep. William L.

Springer, R-IIL, said today. He plans to inti-oduce bill to repeal present restrictions that reduce monthly payments to persons earning more than $100 a month. "There never has been any ceiling on the amount of investment income a person can have and still receive the full social benefit for which he is eligible," Springer said. "The lid on earnings discrimuiates against persons who must work for a living." Springer also announced plans to introduce another bill to increase the monthly earnings limitation from JlOO to $200. "Although I am firmly com- Umited to full repeal of the ceiling, I know that it is doubtful that my coal can be achieved in this Congi-ess," Springer said.

"I do believe, however, that we will be able to get a substantial increase. "The present limitations were established in 1961. Wage levels have risen considerably during the last four years so, at tlie very least, a sizeable rise of tlie ceiling is long overdue." Springer said the earaings limit was what he called a depression device "that was do- signed to create job opportunities by putting financial pressure on persons eligible for social security benefits to retire and make way for othei-s." However, he said, it did not accomplish this puipose even during the depression yeai-s.
