Drafts of aged medical plan move in Congress
UPI reports the House Ways and Means Committee plans to draft a medical plan for seniors next week. The proposal would resemble a Democrat plan to add Medicare style coverage funded by higher payroll taxes, with opposition to President Eisenhower's plan for direct federal subsidies of about 3.2 million dollars annually. Welfare Secretary Arthur Flemming is to present views, while foreign aid talks aim at a 4.0 to 4.125 billion dollar authority range. A payola probe subcommittee chair Samuel Devine says hearings yielded little progress toward remedial legislation.
