Health Care, Use of Funds Topics of HEW Concern
By LIZ CALDWELL Kansan Staff Reporter
Problems of revenue sharing, a proposed national health insurance plan and duplication of governmental programs will be addressed during the seminar sponsored by the department of Health, Education and Welfare for members of the news media last week in Kansas.
Frank Carliucci, HEW undersecretary, said that once the government had passed the law to allow HEW to have no control over their use. The funds aren't supposed to be used for capital improvements, Carliucci said, but the federal government has no way of stopping it.
He said that there were several areas within HEW where there were problems of

duplication, of programs. There are two separate statutes that cover nursing home care, two drug abuse programs and three separate family planning institutions.
He suggested that if the salaries of the 24 case workers were used for the direct benefit of the family, the family would never be on welfare again.
HEW spends $111 billion annually, $70 billion of which goes directly to individuals.
"The money must go out if the people come in to claim it. The people are entitled to it."
He said that HEW is working to end duplication of programs and to decentralize programming.

pushing for a comprehensive national health insurance program.
"Ninety per cent of the people have some form of health insurance, but that doesn't mean they have adequate protection," he said.
He said that whatever kind of health insurance program is decided upon, there must be some sort of cost controls imposed upon doctors and hospitals.
This is necessary, he said, in order to avoid the kind of breaking of the budget that has occurred in Canada and France. Under the administration's bill, everything that is

Subsidy Finances Area Housing
Contractors and real estate firms that have reserved minimum $100,000 loans since May 20 will have about 80 new Lawrence homes financed under a new federal government subsidy program, according to local savings and loan officers.
President Nikon announced the program May 10. He said that it would stimulate the nation's sagaing housing market by making more money available to savings and loan associations, the largest contributors to the housing mortgage market.
The program, which is called the Special Forward Commitment Program, works within the Federal Loan Mortgage Corporation (FLMC). It is a nationwide $7 billion interest subsidy plan. This program allows home buyers to take out minimum interest payments on their current loan rate is 9%. The current builders make commitments to borrow the money from the FLMC through local savings and loan associations.
Local savings and loan officers have had different reactions about whether the new law will help them.
Marshall Biggestaff, vice president of Anchor Savings Association, said, "This is excellent deal. This will keep the traffic moving in new homes and put people in who want to buy new homes but haven't been able to get them before."
Anchor Savings Association has committed about $1.4 million in loans to contractors and real estate firms, Biggestaffer that would provide about 40 new homes.
$1.3 million in loans for contractors and real estate firms. This would account for 30 to 35

"We've had some inquiries," "We haven't really done anything on it yet."
Graduation Streakers Have Charges Dropped
Charges of disorderly conduct against Jerro尔 Meinten and Dinker Smarker, University of Kansas seniors charged in a civil lawsuit against the university exercises, were dismissed last Wednesday.
Trials for Meinert, 22, and Smarker, 21, both of Kansas City, Kan., had been scheduled for June 14 in Douglas County Court.
"After our investigation of the matter, we concluded that the overwhelming majority of the people present were not incensed or disturbed by the incident," Ted Hollenbeak, a legal intern in the county attorney's office, said Friday.
Because the commencement proceedings were not disrupted, Hollenbeak said, the case simply did not fit into the statute of disorderly conduct.
Flood insurance for private homes and businesses is now being made available to
Flood insurance is a federal program administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through private insurance companies.
Lawrence Owners Eligible For HUD Flood Insurance
Flood insurance was previously unavailable because private companies couldn't afford the risk involved, according to an HUD pamphlet.
Lawrence first became eligible for flood insurance in 1973 when the city agreed to participate in the program, said Buford Watson, city manager.
The program requires local governments to adopt and enforce land use control measures that are intended to reduce future damage in flood-borne areas.
Private owners may purchase federal federal insurance through any licensed insurance agency.
Watson said a study would be made by the Army Corps of Engineers during the next four or five years to determine which areas in Lawrence are prone to flooding. The city would then designate those areas as flood zones and prohibit further building.

Kruger said a lack of awareness by property owners was the reason so few people were invited.
The HUD pamphlet states, "All structures used for residential, business, religious or agricultural purposes, structures occupied by nonprofit organizations, structures owned by state or local government are eligible for flood insurance coverage, are eligible for flood insurance coverage."
Executive Vice Chancellor Del Shankel responded to the HEW report May 30 in a letter to Taylor D. August, director of the regional office for civil rights.
The letter also said the University should review and take action to correct any inequities in minority and female salary levels and committee representation.
Only 12 policies have been sold in Lawrence since the program was initiated.
In that letter, Shankel said the University intended to comply with each of the recommendations. He listed current actions and plans to "improve representation of women and minorities in under-utilized categories."
The Letter of Findings recommended that additions be made to the written *A*-firmative Action program, that goals and timetables for the program be established and that a review be made of salaries and fringe benefits of part-time employees.
William M. Balfour, vice chancellor of student affairs, said several weeks ago that probably no problem would exist in the school system where he doesn't undo their educational experience."
KU receives $12 million annually in federal research funds, which makes the University subject to federal Affirmative Action contract provisions. HEW conducted a contract compliance review on campus Feb. 26 through March 2. 1973.
Meinert and Smarker, who had completed requirements for B.A. degrees in psychology, ran across the Memorial Stadium stage dressed only in mortar boards and free-flowing graduation gowns, police said.

As of July 10, 1972, the pamphlet states, premium rates for flood insurance were 30 cents a year for $10 of coverage for a $17,000 to $22,000 single family residence.
