Senate Leaders Pushing for Passage
Bv JOE HALL
WASHINGTON (API - The
Senate rejected today a Repub-
lican attempt to knock the two
new plans (or health care tor
the aged out of the Social Secu-
rity bill and substitute a liber-
alized program of aid to needy*
old persons.
. Sen. Jack Miller, R-Iowa, of-
fered the amendment. It was
beaten on a voice vote after
brief debate.
Under the proposal, the Kerr-
Mills program of federal grants
to help the states with the medi-
cal expenses of indigent old per-
sons would have been liberal-
ized strbstantially.
■ Miller said this would make
unnecessary the two new broad
plans which are the heart of the
bill.
One is a Social Security-fi-
nanced hospitalization plan, the
other a voluntary, supplemental
program covering chiefly doc-
tors' fees.
Senate leaders pushed for
passage of the bill later today.
Democratic Leader Mike
Mansfield Thursday got a de-
bate limitation agreement con-
sidered certain to bring a final
vote by tonight.
Under the agreement, debate
on all further amendments was
limited to one hour each. Two
hours were allowed for a motion
by Sen. Carl T. Curtis, R-Neb.,
to return, the measure to the
Finance Committee
The Senate has disposed of 25
amendments in two days uf vot-
ing so far, but many important
ones remained. ■
Democratic leaders said they
were confident of beating off
any crippling changes and pass-
ing the bill with a heavy majori-
ty.
The bill would provide basic
hospitalization for 19 million
Americans who are 65 or older
*>«
A voluntary supplemental plan
covering doctors fees would be
open to anyone 65 or over who
wants to enroll and pay $3 a
month premium. The estimated
$6.8 billion yearly cost of the
program would be financed
mainly through increased Social
Security taxes.
Curtis led a verbal assault on
the bill from the Republican
side Thursday, denouncing the
health provisions as "brazen
socialism."
Administration forces on
Wednesday narrowly defeated,
43 to 39, an "amendment of Sen.
Abraham A. Ribicoff, D-Conn ,
to cover full hospital stays,
arguing that this would overbur-
den the financing.
Hartke said he would réoffer
this in a somewhat different
form today. The bill at present
would provide a maximum of
120 days of hospital care for one
illness. ' ■'

TONOPAH, Nev. (AP) — -Two heavily armed Ore-
gon murder-kidnap suspects meekly surrendered to
California lawmen today, ending á crime spree which
policé say included a bank robbery, the slaying of a
deputy sheriff and the kidnaping of nine persons.
The dramatic three-day
chase from Oregon, through
Northern California
into Nevada, ended at 3:37
a.m. — PDT — when two
California highway patrolmen
spotted the fugitives near the
Benton agricultural inspection
station on the California-Nevada
state line.
Still holding their guns, ex-
convicts Wiltnir Marion Grey,
30, a native of Brunswick, Ga.,
and Carl Cletes Bowles, 24, of
Amarillo, Tex., surrendered
without resistance^
Their arrests came little more
than an hour after they had re-
leased the last two of their host-
ages, Mrs. Marie Champion and
her 19-month-old daughter.
Mrs. Champion — wife of Cal-
ifornia Finance Director Hale
Champion — described the two
gunmen as "pathetic" and "real-
ly courteous all the time."
Champion, wounded slightly in
the hip by a bullet fired by a To-
nopah bystander, had been re-
leased earlier.
The Federal Bureau of Invest-
igation took Grey and Bqwles
into custody and were to return
them 16 Sacramento, Calif., for
hearing before a U.S. commis-
sioner.

cers and deputies had trailed the

ers had joined the 36-man city

dition at a hospital in New Or-

The West Orange School
Board last night accepted the
City of West Orange's offer to
pave the Newton Street exten-
sion to the new high school for

Under the agreement, the city
will furnish the school district

expenditures on the Newton ex-
tension. The district will pay
only city costs to build the por-
tion of the street located on
school property. )

will be borne by the city, ac-
cording to' an agreement
reached last night.
The school board's acceptance
of the city's offer came after
several long discussions over
the* problem during
month. The board
"more specific" estimate on
how much the street will cost.
But the city said it had given
the board the best estimate it
had — $20,000 — and that the
school district would be charged
only what the road actually
cost.
The board's yote to accept the
agreement was unanimous.
The city also agreed to con-
struct street improvements
around t the Oates Elementary
School on Newton Street at a
cost not to exceed $3,000.
Again, the city has agreed to
furnish the district with a de-
tailed accounting of all funds
spent on the work. Exactly
what will be done at Oates has
npt been determined.
School officials feel some ad-
an
justment in the traffic flow at
Lorena Oates may be neces-
sary when Newton Street is
opened to the high school.
A study into the Oates traffic
problem is now being made by
School Business Mgr. Grady
Gallien and Supt. Tommy Huff.
Width of Newton Street from
Wésternv Avenue to the high
school will be 30 feet with 10-
foot shell shoulders on each
side Thickness of the base will
be 6H inches. It will be
aslphalt-topped street.
In other action last night the .
board reviewed and tentatively
approved a $734,337 instruc-
tional budget for the coming
school year.
No action was taken, how-
ever, on teacher pay raises. The
board agreed to study the raises
early next month.
-The instructional budget
tentatively approved so
Huff could order teaching
ment and materials that
needed for the start of fall
classes.

Rotation of the blending unit
requires a 500-horsepower high

pounds of electrodes were used
to weld the huge sections.
The "Thoroblender" was built

The new huge blender was
designed to achieve greater
product uniformity because re-
sults are achieved with one
blend, instead of five or six.
Quality control and mainte-

ation of the new blender
at Spencer is significant news
to the polyethylene industry,
which has suffered from a
vere shortage of polyethylene
resin for some time
Chemical Week, a trade pub-
lication of the chemical indus
try, reported last month that
the first output from Spencer's
rebuilt plant was expected to
ease the shortage.
But the supply of resin will
not be plentiful until mid-1966,
the magazine said. Spencer's
plant 'was knocked out of pro-
duction for about six months by
an explosion and fire last Oc-
tober. „
Prior to the current expansion
program at Spencer, the plant
produced 140 million pounds of
resin each year. That is being
increased to about 200 million
pounds per year. ,
All major polyethylene pro-
ducers are reported to be oper-
ating plants at capacity at this
time, but they are still unable
product
to satisfy
demand.
