New Medicare Plan Proposed by L.B.J.
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — President Johnson's fresh appeal for Medicare legislation left the contested bill today just about where it has been for the last couple of years—a few votes short.
The measure calls for hospital and nursing home care for those over 65 with costs defrayed out of revenue from extra social security taxes.
The House Ways & Means Committee, which completed its latest hearings on the issue last month, expects to take uD the bill in closed session later this month.
This is about all that Chairman Wilbur D. Mills, D-Ark., would say about it. However, there was no reason to think Johnson's health message yesterday had changed the fact the bill lacks two of the 13 votes needed to be sent out of committee.
But even if it gets out of committee. House leaders are not sure they have the votes to put the bill through the House. Partly for this reason, there has been no real drive so far to get the committee to act.
Johnson's plea for the Medicare bill was made in a special message to Congress also calling for legislation to help provide more hospitals, nurses and public health services.
The President said he was establishing a commission to study heart disease, cancer and strokes and to recommend steps to reduce their toll.
"The American people are not satisfied with better-than-average health," Johnson said. "As a nation, they want, they need, and they can afford the best of health."
In addition to Medicare, the President called for action on pending proposals for an expanded vocation-
Seniors will receive the "new" KU calendar this week—which features a photo of the chancellor instead of the traditional, pretty female student.
The calendar will be distributed free in Strong Hall to each senior paying class dues and university fees. Seniors will also pick up senior buttons and sweatshirts.
This year Chancellor W. Clarke Wesscoe's picture is on the front of the KU calendar, replacing the traditional, pretty female student.
"I want to report that I objected strenuously to this break in tradition." Chancellor Wescoe said.
"It might be pointed out, however, that this is a matter of no moment; under proper circumstances the picture will either be plastered to the wall or folded under the calendar," he added.

He urged new legislation to expand the Hill-Burton program of federal aid for hospital construction, which expires this year; set up new programs of grants to nursing schools plus loans and merit scholarships for nursing students, and to bolster the federal programs of traineeships for public health workers and project grants for schools involved in public health training.

Despite the apparent dim outlook for Medicare the Administration was described as optimistic about prospects for passage this year. One official said the optimism was based on "a series of off-the-record discussions with key members of Congress."
Johnson did not specifically refer to the late President John F. Kennedy's Medicare plan, but he called for hospital insurance for the aged in general terms that clearly fit the Kennedy prescription.
An award-winning Chicago chemist will speak on procedures for analyzing the chemical composition of the moon's surface at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in Room 124 Malott.
Chemist's Subject Is Analyzing the Moon
Anthony Turkevich, recipient of a $5,000 E. O. Lawrence Award for his applications of atomic energy for peaceful purposes, will speak on "Proposed Chemical Analysis of Lunar Surface Using Alpha Particle Interactions."
Turkevich will describe his experiments to establish remote-control techniques for chemical analysis of the moon's surface. He will also discuss design of instruments for inclusion in the surveyor rocket series scheduled to make a soft landing on the moon late in 1964 or in 1965.
The talk will be of interest mainly to people who have background in chemistry, physics, engineering or geology.
This is the first of six talks to be given in the interdisciplinary series this spring and is sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) grant given to KU this year. The local section of the American Chemical Society is co-sponsor of Turkevich's talk.
pers, newspapers of special interest, and those of which few copies survive," King explained. Films from various libraries will be combined to provide as complete a file as possible.
The first stage of a $20,000 project to microfilm China-coast newspapers has been started, Frank H. H. King, associate professor of East Asian studies, announced today.
$30,000 Film Record Begins for China Papers
The project is sponsored by the Center for East Asian Studies and financed by the recent Ford Foundation grant for international studies. It will make research materials accessible to students studying China.
"China-coast newspapers" are all Western-language newspapers published prior to 1941 in China, Hong Kong, or Macao, King said.
"Students should do their reading from the original sources," he said, "but how many of us can cope with long assignments in Chinese?" The newspapers are a usable primary source, useful not only to economists and historians studying China but also to those interested, for example, in comparative sociology, imperialism, or the history of journalism.
"In the first stage we'll concentrate on complete runs of early newspa-

Prof. Pyron is the first of four speakers in the speech and drama research colloquium this semester.
