B«n*on PRESIDENT-NATIONAL EDUCATION .PROGRAM S««rcy, ArktnMS WHEN THE PLANNERS PLAN So you’ve been paying $10 to $20 a month for private group hospitalization for yourself or your famliy? You’ve been getting a tremendous bargain compared with what the politicians are go ing to do for you. By 1973, now that the Medicare bill has been passed by Congress and added to Social Security, it’s going to be costing something like $12.44 a week for the rest of your working day for the whole package. That’s nearly 10 per cent of your income up to $6,600, and there are no de ductions to be figured. There’s no assurence it will stay at that lev el, and responsible observers are already predicting it will go up to 20 per cent! Actually, nobody knows what Medicare is going to cost. The Senate version had a tax of $7.1 billions for the first year, the House about $6 billions. Even so, the program is expected to run some $900 millions in the hole. This ■would have to come out of taxes, too. Costs are going to sky rocket, and as more demands are made on the facilities, the quality of medical care will deteriorate without more spending. The pres sure will be on for more federal money. The time may well come, therefore, when you pay more for Medicare and social security than you now pay in income taxes. Certain Reservations Now, don’t conclude that we are against individual or group coverage for either pensions or medical service. We’re not, with the reservation that our exper ience shows that both are best when handled privately, admin istered privately, and paid for on the same basis. Such a method does not rule out public or pri vate charity, the practice of Christian virtues, the stewardship of one’s earnings, nor personal i-esponsibility. It doesn’t say to government: “Here, you do it.” But when the heavy tax hits the paycheck we’ll know trat the federal government is in the in surance and annuity business to stay! Sometimes one cannot help wondering just when, if ever, the citizens of this nation are going to wake up. It seems fairly ob vious that the great masses of our people were sound asleep when Congress was allowed to pass Medicare, the first step to social ized medicine. It’s a little late to write Washington on this one, but it is not too late to emphasize that we cannot afford many more examples of negligent citizen ship. This is a good sample of what to expect unless a greater number of us are willing to speak up—even shout. Ready For Utopia? Some of the “liberals” are al ready calling for the government to see that everyone gets a guar anteed income, according to his need. Dr. Albert J. Kahn of Col umbia University may not be as far out as some, but he proposes with various “social utilities” that to “step beyond the welfare state” that are to become as routine as gas, water and electric power. His plans would offer everything needed by the kiddies or grandpa, from day nurseries to shuffle- board, at the expense of the gov ernment. Bayard Rustin, the New York agitator, proposes the government pay young folks to go to college, a step not far removed from some of the anti-poverty practices. The planners seem to envision a ser ene utopia in which work is un necessary. Two Big Problems The stinger in all this, as we indicated about Medicare, is that the planners worry least of all i about how these various benefits ' are going to be paid for. When everybody is working for the government, who cares? The | government can print its own mon- i ey. If it gives you some, it has the right to take some of it back —even most if it. Will such per- | petual-motion economics keep a j dynamic society moving? You can bet it will not! Look at any I Communist countrv and vou can i * w see the kind of future America can have under state planning. Saddest of all is the loss of human will, choice, and dignity. To surrender personal freedom bit by bit and the responsibility that accompanies it will surely take us into an age of darkness. The planners themselves seem unaware that social and economic planning must also mean political planning. Thus, a vast bureau cracy sooner or later would have to make one vast, all-encompass ing decision: that there can be noturning back. “No objections allowed.” The idea of the concen tration camp is just as up-to-date and modern as is the idea of soc ial planning.

KINARD STRAIGHT TALK (Contined from page 1) shouldn’t dear. Lyndon’s friend, Billie Sol, might have to carry his case to the Supreme ourt some day and would like to have you around. But you might have to quit smoking. Billie Sol doesn’t approve of girls smoking and drinking. \\ hen the Dominican crisis er upted last Spring, Chancellor Jamie Benitez of the University of Puerto Rico, contacted Fortas as a source who would have Mr. Johnson’s ear. Benitez w r as inter ceding for his pro-communist friend and Castro partner, Juan Bosch, who was and is trying to retake the Dominican Republic for the Commuists. Fortas, defender of Commun ists, White House advisor, Great Society news manager, and per sonal attorney to Lyndon Johnson, is brilliant. So is Alger Hiss. For tas the Fixer persuaded or some how induced two Washington newspapers not to print a line on Walter Jenkins’ arrest. He was working on the third paper when the story was broken by a news service. Fortas also tried to sup press the story about President Johnson’s stereo set, which Don Reynolds, star witness in the Ba ker investigation, claims credit for giving to Johnson, but which the President says was a gift from Bobby Baker, his long-time protege. One of the few statesmen in the Congress, Representative Gross of Iowa, incorrectly called Johnson’s nomination of Fortas “inconceivable.” Nothing Johnson does in inconceivable. What is inconceivable is that the Senate affirmed Fortas by standing vote, virtually by acclamation. Only three Senators, Thurmond, Wil liams and Curtis, had the morality and courage to oppose him. John son reportedly twisted Fortas arm to get him to accept appointment to the court. Rabbit Forts is doubtless extremely ecstatic in his new briar patch. The Allen-Scott report, 12-9-64 said: “Fortas’ burning ambition is to be in the Supreme Court . . Pres. Johnson is on blunt notice he faces a bruising fight if he names one-time Interior Undersecretary Abe Fortas to a job requiring Senate confirmation.” Their fight over Fortas was reminiscent of a Clay-Liston fight. Hardly a blow was struck before the Senate “took the count” sit ting down. That middle of the road organi zation, The John Birch Society, should take another look. In comparison with Abe Fortas, Earl Warren looks like a Christian pat riot. In her newest book, “A Pillar of Iron,” the great American nov elist, Taylor Caldwell, quotes these words from Aristotle 2200 years ago: “Republics decline in to democracies and democracies degenerate in despotisms.” Aristotle saw Johnson coming. One of the stories circulating in some Washington circles is about the highway policeman who finally caught up with a Conti nental which roared by, doing 105. When he walked up to the stopped car and looked in, these sat LBJ behind the wheel, drink in hand. “My God!” cried the cop. “And don’t you forget it!” snapped Lyndon. Lyndon doesn’t really think he’s God, of course, but now that Luci Bird has turned Catholic I’ll bet the Pope is worried about his job. RE-ELECT Jack H.
