WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Senate prepared to be-
gin voting Tuesday on a bob-tailed administration farm
bill designed to cut grain surpluses and boost farm in-
come.
Republicans and Democrats predicted most basic
sections of the 60-page catch-all bill would be approved.
But Sen. Estes Kefauver, (D-Tenn.) was ready to lead
a fight to strike out a provision which he believed
would grant (arm co-operatives a broad new exemption
from anti-trust law.
The bill includes stopgap provisions designed to cut
production of wheat, corn, grain sorghums, and barley

Health Fight Warms Up
WASHINGTON (—The administration has launched
jts campaign for a Social Security health plan for the
aged with a bristling frontal attack on the American
Medical Association.
Carrying the attack, Welfare Secretary Abraham
Ribicoff said: “180,000 doctors are not going to be able
to defeat the will of 180 million Americans.
He accused the AMA of misleading the public and
its own members by trying to stick a “socialized med-
icine" label on President Kennedy's health plan.
Republicans on the House ways and means com-
mittee hearing Ribicoff’s charges Monday leaped in
with countercharges of misrepresentation by Kennedy
and the Department of Welfare.
WASHINGTON (UPD-The chairman of the House
Commerce Committee made it clear Tuesday that Con-
gress is going to take a dose look at any policy decisions
by the administration on communications satellites.
Rep. Oren Harris (D-Ark.) said the “ultimate re-
sponsibility” for such a program must rest with the law-
makers.
Earlier, the Federal Communications Commission
had prodded private industry to get started quickly on
a world-wide space communications system.

Sen. Wallace F. Bennett,
(R-Utah), a member of
Byrd’s committee, told the
Senate Monday it would be
“cynical” for the president
to ask tax increases on the
basis of increased defense
expenditures.
He said Kennedy hadn't
asked tax hikes for pro-
posed increases in civilian
spending, adding:
"It would be more diffi-
cult to get tax increases for
welfare state proposals, so
the policy was to wait and
hike taxes in the name of
national defense. I for one
refuse to be stampeded by
the Kennedy tax increase
tactics."

A Tulsa liquor dealer de-
nied Tuesday that Gleason
Romans, Tulsa wholesaler,
had any interest in his es-
tablishment.
At the same time, Rex
Terry, the dealer, said he
did get a loan from the E.
E. Markham Investment Co.
and that Romans had told
him he might be able to
obtain the loan from the
company.
Terry denied that Romans
helped him get the $12,000
loan although he might
have given a character ref-
erence.
"I got the loan myself,"
Terry said.
Terry testified before the
house of representatives
legal advisory committee,
which is investgatiing the
possibilities of kickbacks
and rebates in the state
liquor industry.
Retailers Quizzed
The committee has pre-
viously questioned nu-
merous retailers, wholesal-
ers and representatives of
distillers concerning kick-
backs.
One of the wholesalers
questioned admitted giving
rebates out but all of the
distillers’ representatives
denied this.
Terry testified that he
brought stock for his store
from two wholesalers, one
of which was Romans.
“But Romans doesn't
have one penny in my
store,” he said.
Terry was threatened with
contempt last week for fail-
ure to appear before the
committee, but Virgil Cheat-
wood, house sergeant-at-
arms said Monday that he
didn't serve a summons on
the Tulsan.
Statement Taken
The committee also re-
corded a written statement
by Dave Washington, of
Tulsa, former salesman for
the Romans company.
Washington said last week
he took two checks from the
Markham company to re-
tailers and saw the name
"Eskridge” on them.
Rep. Vol Odom, Wagoner,
asked if the checks were
signed by Rita Eskridge,
now Romans’ wife.

WASHINGTON (fl—The senate foreign relations com-
mittee Tuesday recommended passage of President Ken-
nedy's $4,326,500,000 foreign aid bill as "an unavoidable
responsibility" in a world menaced by Communist
threats.
In a formal report, the committee said it supports
the president’s view that the United States must plan
for “and contribute generously toward a decade of de-
velopment” of struggling countries around the world.
Foreign aid. the committee said, “is dictated by the
hard logic of cold war and by a moral responsibility re-
sulting from poverty, hunger, disease, ignorance, feud-
alism, strife, revolution, chronic instability, and life
without hope."
The chief controversy in the bill swirls around au-
thority for the president to borrow $8.8 billion dollars
from the treasury to finance a 5-year-program of low
or no-interest rate loans to help under-developed nations
strengthen their economies.
