Ecumenical Development Program Set
The World Council of Churches general secretary Rev Dr Eugene Carson Blake announced plans for expanded expense paid trips home for representatives as part of a new ecumenical development program. The Vatican and WCC study group will review the idea after a Senate bill sent by voice vote could fund a program with up to 13 paid trips per year, far above the current five. The move follows unity talks among Protestants Anglicans and Orthodox and faces final decisions in 1968 if recommendations are accepted.

Medicaid eligibility at risk in proposed SS changes
New York officials warn that about 10 percent of Medicaid beneficiaries could lose benefits if Congress passes Social Security amendments. State Commissioner Dr. George K. Wyman said the state might shoulder multimillion dollar costs if the federal government rejects funding. Proposals would cap eligibility at 150 percent, then 140, then 133 percent of state standards, potentially cutting off at least 600,000 of roughly six million current enrollees.
