Preparations for Visit to West Berlin Under Way PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, (UPI)-Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev neared the end of his 10-day visit to Czechoslovakia today, with preparations already being made for his trip to West Germany early, next year.

Khrushchev flew today to Brno to inspect the Czech industrial city's trade exhibition grounds. He was due back in Prague tonight for a farewell reception at the Soviet embassy. A joint Soviet-Czech communique to be issued tonight was expected to touch on the German problem. This was 1 a major subject in Khrushchev's talks with Czech President Antonin Novotny and the foreign ministers of Poland, Bulgaria and Hungary. Khrushchev's plans to pay his first visit to West Germany were announced Thursday in Bonn.

No date was set but diplomatic sources said February or March would be likely times. (DIPLOMATS IN Moscow said Khrushchev has little to lose and a great deal to gain by visiting West Germany at tHis time. They said the trip could weaken the Western-allance and strengthen the Soviet camp.) Khrushchev's talks here were reported to have centered on ways of easing tension between the two German states. Most of the present Soviet ratellites were victims of Nazi German aggression and Backers Gird for Medicare House Fight WASHINGTON (UPI) Backers of a health care-Social Security bill today began to organize a rescue operation for the measure in anticipation of a tough fight in the House. The Senate approved the bill Thursday by a 60-28 vote.

It now goes to a House-Senate Conference Committee, but negotiations on a compromise bill are not expected to begin until the middle of the month. Once the compromise is worked out, the changes then must be approved by both House and Senate. The original House bill contained no health care provisions. The Senate measure would expand the Social Security system to provide hospitalization and nursing care benefits for about 18 million elderly persons. In addition it calls for a $7-a-month boost in cash benefits for 20 million social security pensioners.

All this would be financed through higher payroll taxes. NO HEALTH CARE bill has ever reached the House for a vote. Previous measures have been bottled up or killed in the House Ways and Means Committee, due in large part to the opposition of committee Chairman Wilbur D. Mills, D-Ark. Rep.

Cecil R. King, a longtime supporter of health care legislation, indicated in an interview that backers might resort to a rarely used parliamentary maneuver to help rescue the bill. He said that an attempt probably would be made on the floor to instruct House conferees to insist on a health care program in the final draft of the compromise bill. This move would require a majority vote. But even then it is not binding on the conferees, though such an action is supposed to express "the will of the House." House Republican Leader Charles A.

Halleck, told a news conference Thursday, "I don't think anything providing health care will finally be enacted into law." IN AN UNUSUAL move the Senate named seven members of its finance committee to bargain with House negotiators, instead of the normal five. This was done to include at least two 0-health care senators, Albert Gore, D- and Clinton P. Anderson, The other five conferees all are opposed to the measure. A breakdown of yesterday's final Senate vote on the bill showed 48 Democrats and 12 Republicans supporting and 10 Democrats and 18 Republicans against it.

WELCH Brain Hemorrhage Fatal Dr. Welch, President of AMA, Dies JACKSON, Wyo. (P -Dr. Norman A. Welch, president of the American Medical Association with more than 200,000 physician members, died of a cerebral hemorrhage Thursday night.

Welch, 62. suffered the massize stroke 24 hours earlier as he prepared to leave his Jackson Lake Lodge quarters to address the Wyoming Medical Association. His successor as head of the 116 year old professional organization will be Dr. Donovan F. Ward of Dubuque, Iowa, president since June.

Welch, a 1926 graduate of Tufts College Medical served as clinical professor at Tufts as well as physicianin-chief at Carney Hospital in Boston from 1943 to 1957. He was president of the Massachusetts Medical Service (Blue Shield) from 1950 until his death and served from 1955-58 as chairman of the National Blue Shield commission. WASHINGTON (A) -NichIolas DeB. Katzenbach was running the Justice Department today following Robert F. Kennedy's resignation as attorney general.

Katzenbach, 42 year old former University of Chicago law professor who has been deputy attorney general, came the department's topranking officer Thursday when Kennedy quit to run for the U.S. Senate from New York. White House Press Secretary George Reedy said he did not know whether Katzenbach would have the title of acting attorney general. IT IS believed unlikely that President Johnson will fill the attorney general's spot on a permanent basis until after the Nov. 3 presidential election.

In accepting the 38-yearold Kennedy's resignation, Johnson said "you will soon be back in Washington where can again call upon your judgment and counsel." Kennedy, named to the post by his late brother, President John F. Kennedy, was the fourth member of the original Kennedy cabinet to resign and the first since Johnson assumed the presidency last Nov. 22. La Brique Sunday Eye-Opener Breakfast 10 A.M. 3 P.M.
