AMA Puts Off Any Action On Medicare
The American Medical Association halted direct action on Medicare until it becomes law and elected Dr. Charles F. Hudson of Stark Heights Ohio as president elect for 196 a year. Hudson said the AMA remains unalterably opposed to Medicare legislation, arguing it would cede control of medical practice to the government while stressing doctors’ duty to patient care. The AMA House of Delegates representing 206 055 doctors resolved to wait to act until Medicare is signed into law and then assess necessary steps.

Senate Passes Out In Silver Coinage
The Senate approved a bill to remove silver from dimes and quarters and cut silver content in half dollars, 74 to 9, sending the measure to the House where a companion bill may be debated next week. The proposal would reduce half dollar silver from 90 to 49 percent, with the House version seeking complete removal from half dollars. President Johnson urged rapid action due to dwindling silver stock and hoarding fears. Western lawmakers pressed for 40 percent silver in all coins, but failed. The new coins, with a copper core and nickel alloy, won't enter circulation until next year and will fit existing vending machines. Final passage included votes by Sens. Leverett Saltonstall and Edward M. Kennedy.
