Aging debate shapes policy as Congress boosts aid
The House approved a 1.5 billion three year expansion for elderly aid, with 351 to 3 in favor, while President Nixon taps Dr Arthur S Flemming to push a national aging policy. Studies in Chicago and Europe challenge stereotypes of loneliness, showing many seniors active and self reliant, and proposals urge broader job programs for the aged. Next week reports note nursing home innovations are on the way.
