Nixon Opposes Free TV Time for Candidates
Vice President Nixon told a Senate Commerce subcommittee that mandating free broadcasting time for presidential candidates would impose an unjust burden on the television industry. CBS President Frank Stanton condemned the idea as a breach of core broadcasting principles, though CBS offered to provide at least one hour weekly of prime time to candidates. The bill would require networks and stations to free two hours weekly in prime viewing hours during the eight weeks before a presidential election.

House committee studies new health care plan for aged
Washington AP reports the House Ways and Means Committee convenes to consider a health care proposal for those 65 and older. A test vote on a plan resembling an Eisenhower era idea was scheduled, but chair Wilbur Mills says it differs and lacks broad backing. The bill would fund hospital and nursing care for Social Security retirees via federal and state cooperation, with opposition arising from its similarity to earlier administration concepts.
