GOP Maps Health Care Stop Gap
Washington Republicans draft an alternative to President Johnson's elderly health care proposal. Rep. Byrnes signals a plan offering a choice to opponents of Social Security, likely similar to a Senate bill funding health care through general revenues with a state matching formula. The AMA backs a private insurance based option for those 65 and older.

China Again Hints Aid To Viet Nam
In a strong move against U S and South Korea, China pledged to support North Viet Nam to defeat U S aggression in South Viet Nam. Marshal Chen Yi stated Peking would stand with Hanoi and cautioned against escalating the war, while a parallel radio note offered no explicit actions. A survey of 53 congressmen showed mixed views on intervention, UN involvement, and bombing red supply lines, with few supporting a quick American withdrawal or a unified Viet Nam government.
