Washington Senator B Everett Jordan of North Carolina, a leading tobacco producer, says Congress will likely require health warnings on cigarette packages though he opposes mandatory package labeling. He warns industry-wide action could backfire and urges federal leadership to avoid a patchwork of state and agency rules as FTC signals intent to impose warnings on cigarettes and ads unless Congress pre-empts.

Medicare Plan Scrutinized by GOP in House Panel
Republicans on the House Ways & Means Committee warned President Johnson's proposed Medicare would burden Social Security with heavy debt and fail to cover all drugs or fund long illnesses. The plan envisions a compulsory hospital insurance under Social Security for those 65 plus, financed by higher payroll taxes, plus an optional $13 monthly plan for doctor bills with government matching. The GOP minority argued a voluntary elder care plan could achieve similar coverage at lower cost and warned of a $35 billion liability shifting from retirees to workers.
