McNamara Pushes for Early Vietnam Troop Attack Plan
De fense secretary Robert McNamara discussed a willingness to attack North Vietnam as part of an proposed program to deploy U S troops to the Mekong Delta. The plan evolved from a counterinsurgency effort tied to the Bay of Pigs fallout and Viet Cong strength, with Kennedy later adopting a far more limited stance. The November 1961 notes, released by Sen Mike Gravel, trace shifts in administration thinking and the role of military advisers under Taylor and Rusk.

Exemption Sales Tax Bill Moves In Pennsylvania House
State Rep William Lederer of Philadelphia introduced a bill to reinstate a one year 1 percent sales tax on utilities clothing and shoe repairs dry cleaning patent medicines and some household items. The measure lacked backing from Democratic leaders and Governor Shapp and faces slim chances of passage. If enacted it would take effect immediately through the 1972 fiscal year ending June 30 1972. The proposal echoes provisions from the Tax Reform Act of 71.

Hospital payments under Blue Cross ruling questioned in Philadelphia
A common pleas judge ruled Blue Cross may limit hospital payments if costs are deemed excessive. The Medical College of Pennsylvania sued for 260 820 in past and future deductions, arguing costs were reasonable. The judge did not decide the costs' reasonableness, only Blue Cross's right to make deductions. The appeals board must settle cost reasonableness. State Insurance Commissioner Denenbere welcomed the ruling.
