Lt. Gen. D P McAuliffe head of the Southern Command testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the new canal treaties adequately protect against sabotage and major threats. He said U S defense responsibilities in Panama plus neutrality guarantees and Panamanian cooperation strengthen security, though outside reinforcements might be needed against a major external attack.

Health Dept proposes national plan to cut beds and regulate births
The Department of Health Education and Welfare issues a plan to remove 100000 hospital beds by 1984 and cap births in hospitals while setting standards for open-heart surgery and radiation units. It aims for 80 percent occupancy and supports the 1974 National Health Planning act, with local agencies urged to plan resources. Senators Kennedy Javits and Schweiker welcomed the move, while AHA criticized potential rigidity. A Senate hearing is set for Oct. 7.
