County Medics Condemn Care For Aged Program The Orange County Medical Association has lashed out at the Social Security Health Care for the Aged Program, passed by the Senate yesterday. The association, numbering $50 physicians, also adopted a resolution objecting to the inclusion of doctors in Social Security coverage. Association President Dr. Hugh J. Plumb, in a statement issued in Orange, said that a poll of members showed them opposed to coming under Social Security as provided in pending legislation. The OCMA resolution contends that there are now 23,000 "retirement" age physicians in the United States providing medical care for an estimated 11 million persons. Another 2,500 doctors annually reach the Social Security retirement age of 65. This, the resolution states, means that the U. S. Congress is placed in the "incongruous" position of legislating needed doctors into enforced retirement. If doctors were to accept Social Security coverage, then they would be forced to pay taxes for a program for which they could never stand to benefit unless they would leave their practices upon reaching the age of 65. The OCMA resolution asking that medical care for the aged not be linked to Social Security programs basically follows the established tenets of the American Medical Assn. regarding the program. It argues that about 60 per cent of Californiaans 1.3 million persons in the over-age-bracket already are receiving government-sponsored medicine care. Also cited are the apparent success of the Kerr-Mills Act 1960 and the Western 65 voluntary, prepaid health plan for this age group. Kerr-Mills funds to pay for health care for California aged amounted to $66.7 million in 1963, according to the OCMA. This meant that each of the 3,000 elderly persons who received treatment under its provisions was given $1,850 to pay medical bills. The voluntary health plan enrolled 47,000 persons in the single 60-day period in which applications were taken, the resolution states. COMMANDANT AT EL TORO: 'County Developers May Push Marines From Base' The rapid march of land developers across Orange County may soon pose a threat to the national security of the United States, according to the commandant of the U. S. Marine Corps. er Ross Cortese and the county was a good interim agreement, however. That solution calls for Cortese to leave a 4,000-ft. wide strip across his El Toro Leisure World senior citizens develop- the sprawling 3,500-acre basement was one of the most valuable bases the Marine Corps has. 'If we lose El Toro and Cam Pendleton — which also is feeling pressure from developers — where are we going to go, wha Push Marines From Base The rapid march of land developers across Orange County may soon pose a threat to the national security of the United States, according to the commandant of the U. S. Marine Corps. General Wallace M. Greene, Jr., said that the rapid development of the area around the El Toro Marine Station may eventually squeeze the Marines out. Greene, during a press conference yesterday, said no solution to the problem of the private developments closing in around El Toro has been found. Gen. Greene, making his first West Coast tour of the Marine Corps installations since taking over as the Marine Corps' 23rd Commandent, said the solution reached last year with develop- er Ross Cortese and the county was a good interim agreement, however. That solution calls for Cortese to leave a 4,000-ft. wide strip across his El Toro Leisure World senior citizens development free of homes for a period of time. At least 2,000 ft. of the strip will be permanently free of housing with the remaining 2,000 ft. subject to renegotiation. Another developer, Moral Investment Co., currently is suing the county for more than $1 million damages over a zoning move which blocked a subdivision under the approach path to the air station. Gen. Greene, who left for San Diego today, told newsmen upon his arrival at El Toro that the sprawling 3,500-acre base was one of the most valuable bases the Marine Corps has. “If we lose El Toro and Cam Pendleton — which also is feeling pressure from developers — where are we going to go, what will be the effect on the Marine Corps and what will it be asked. The Commandant cited the 1962 Cuban crisis as an example of the need for the two bases. “Within two days, we boost our force at Guantanamo Bay from 500 to 5,000 marines and at least half of them were flow directly from El Toro. “If we are to continue having this type of ready Marine Corps we have to have places to train them,” he added. Juliet Prowse makes Melodyland By LOUISE METEER Juliet Prowse made Melodyland history Tuesday night when her performance as Irma La Douce stopped the show midway for thunderous applause and won her a standing ovation at its conclusion. Keeping up with her fast-paced performance and winning his own share of acclaim was Ron Husmann as the law student and protector of Irma. The show's first night was a sell-out even for an additional row of seats placed in the huge theater in the round. Many who attended had returned to see more of the famous dancer, who captivated them in a performance last spring with Jimmie Durante. They were not disappointed. Miss Prowse revealed not only that she is fully able to uphold a reputation as one of the great dancers of our time, but that she can sing, and act with great effectiveness. Her Irma was both lusty and deeply tender as she ran the gamut of emotion in the little French prostitute who thinks “a wedding gown is the loveliest thing in the world.” Husmann, a newcomer to the Melodyland stage, revealed the voice that catapulted him to the top on Broadway early in his career, and won him a Dani Blum Award for “most promising newcomer.” He, too, did play a versatility indicative of the exacting requirements of theater, singing, dancing and acting with verve and obviou enjoyment. ANAHEIM PUBLIC LIBRARY naheim Gazette PRESSED SINCE 1870 • HOME CITY PAPER OF FABULOUS DISNEY 107 Anaheim, California, 6 Pages Wednesday, Sept. 9, 1964 Utt Introduces Bracero Statute Legislation Would Extend Plan Past December Deadline Congressman James B. Utt (R-35th) has introduced legislation to extend the Bracero program past the Dec. 31 expiration now scheduled. The six-term incumbent flew to Washington Tuesday as the administration prepared to press for its "Appalachia" bill. House Democrats decided to postpone the fight two weeks. Utt said he hoped to make good use of the time to accelerate consideration and acceptance of a five-year phase out period for the Bracero program. "Labor statistics show that for every Bracero employed in the United States there are 2.6 domestic laborers employed in the trucking, processing, canning and other collateral industries not have sufficient harvesters" he warned. Ending the Bracero program will damage California's economy, but Utt said "The fact is that this program affects people all over the U.S. I have received letters and calls from businessmen all the way from New York to California. They know that if this program is not extended they are going to sell fewer tractors, trucks and farm supplies of every description. The market for fertilizers and insecticides will shrink. There will be less retail spending and there will be fewer jobs — union and non-union — in packing plants, canneries, transportation and many other businesses." "Many of those who realize Robert L.

Utt said he hoped to make good use of the time to accelerate consideration and acceptance of a five-year phase out period for the Bracero program. "Labor statistics show that for every Bracero employed in the United States there are 2.6 domestic laborers employed in the trucking, processing, canning and other collateral industries. With 300,000 Braceros employed, that means almost 800,000 domestic jobs are in the balance. This could be economically disastrous in several regions," Utt asserted. Utt also noted that R. J. Heinz has purchased four processing plants in Mexico's agricultural areas to assure a supply of vegetables for canning. "Such action could be followed by other canning companies if the U.S. does $28 MILLION Jail Bond Issue New County High The future of the new county courthouse and jail is now in the hands of the voters. A mammoth two-part bond issue totalling over $28 million, was officially placed on the November ballot by the County Board of Supervisors in a four-hour marathon session yesterday afternoon. The first part of the bond issue calls for $11.2 million to construct a three-building jail complex along the west side of Flower Street between Fourth and Sixth streets. The other half put before the voters will be a $16,820,000 issue for construction of an 11-story county courthouse, and includes $2.5 million for the eventual lease or construction of "branch courts and other branch facilities." The two issues, totalling $8 million higher than previously estimated, each will take a two-thirds majority vote to pass in November. The $28 million stands as the biggest bond issue request in county history, notwithstanding flood control issues. Plans for the new jail complex showed new buildings for a sheriff's office, men's and women's jails. Supervisor David L. Baker criticized the plans saying, "esthetics were apparently given greater consideration than costs." The complete complex, costing an average $6410 per prisoner, will include such jail innovations as escalators, climate control cooling equipment and guard corridors. Robert L.

That's if they pass a marine life course at Sea World, to begin in late September. The educational program was outlined yesterday by George Millay, President of the $4.5 million park on Mission Bay near San Diego. Through special agreement with Sea World, primary and secondary students in these two counties will be given guided lecture tours of the 21-acre park. Guided by Sea Maids, the lovely young girls that star in the Theater of the Sea performances, the students will be given an "underwater" tour of the ocean that is their fascinating neighbor; from the tidepools of La Jolla and the depths offshore. Letters of invitation and explanation are going out now to school district officials in both counties. County school officials have already indicated that they are in favor of the program. One school official, on seeing preliminary plans, called the field trip program "a very fine one." Millay, who has been head of the park since its opening in March of this year, called the program "a unique educational experience." "This will be the best kind of learning for these students," Millay said. "They will be watching and learning how we train our highly intelligent dolphins. They will go behind the scenes in the Grotto fish tanks and in the Theater of the Sea." "The ocean is a fascinating subject and we think we can give them a good start in learning it first hard," he added. The hour-and-a-half lecture tours will be conducted Wednesday through Friday, two a day if necessary. The Sea Maids, all experienced divers with a vast background in marine life, willply teachers with summaries of the lecture material to be erased. After completion of course, teachers may send students who pass a quiz with a "Dolphin Diplomacy" course includes detailed explanations of the fish four glass-walled tanks underwater Grotto, where students will be nose-to-nose with the colorful Garibaldi Perch other California fish.
