AMMAN, Jordan (UPD—An
Arab extremist group, angered
at King Hussein’s moderate
policy toward Israel, opened fire
today with cannon and machine
guns against troops loyal to the
king. Hussein moved tanks into
the heart of Amman and
appeared to have the upper
hand.
The Jordanian government
imposed a curfew on the capital
at 8 a.m. and sent tanks,
armored troop carriers, infan
try and tough Bedouin irregu
lars into areas where large
numbers of Arab refugees are
demanding major action against
Israel.
The Interior Ministry in a
broadcast to the nation identi
fied the attacking Arab com
mandos as the Al Nasr
(victory) organization, an anti-
Israeli guerrilla group active in
Syrian and Iraqi politics. They
attacked today in apparent
impatience for a more militant
attitude toward Israel.
Arab commando attacks
against Israel and clashes
between Israeli and Arab troops
along the cease-fire lines have
once again brought the Middle
East to the flash point. Only
Sunday Israeli and Egyptian
MIG jets battled in the skies
over the Suez Canal for the
second time since the end of the
1967 June war.
And in Cairo President Gamal
Abdel Nasser held an emergen
cy “war session” of his cabinet
Sunday night to hear a report
on the daring Israeli commando
raid 250 miles beyond Cairo and
to discuss “ways of preparing
the nation for war” with Israel.

The "miiiile gap" issue which played a major role in the 1960 presidential campaign
has come up again in 1968 under a new name—"security gap." Disputing Republican
assertions that the Democratic adminietratlon permitted U.S. nuclear superiority over the
Soviet Union to decline. Defense Secretary Clark Clifford released Pentagon estimates
of relative U.S. and Soviet strength in October, 1967, and October, 1968, which, he said,
show that the United States continues to hold "substantial military superiority.
Weather Summary
October Goes Down
As Contrast Month
By HORACE D. WESTBROOKS
Weather Observer
October was a month of con
trasts, from excessive rainfall
to temperatures above and be
low normal for the month. Since
July, rainfall has been some
what below normal, and was get
ting critical in some sections of
Georgia, especially the south
east.
July, August, and September
had only 7.40 Inches of rain in
Griffin: whereas, the normal am
ount should have been nearly 13
Inches. On the 6th and 7th a wea
ther system moved into thi s
area, and dumped 2.13 Inches of
rain in less than 24 hours. That
much rain within the 24 hours
lacked only eleventh hundreds of
an inch being the entire normal
for the month as a whole.
Another rain period came in on
The Interior Ministry In a 2
p.m. broadcast said the Al Nas
ser commando organization was
responsible for firing at Jorda
nian military patrols before
dawn, but officials said it would
be an exaggeration to call it an
attempt to overthrow the
Hussein government.
Hussein has been the target of
several assassination attempts
be extremists over the years
and there have been several
instances of fighting between
his loyal troops and the more
militant anti-Israel factions
whose raids into Israel have
brought sharp retaliation from
the 16th, and lasted for three
days, bringing the total rain for
the month of October up to 4.08
Inches, or nearly two inches ab
ove the normal. However, the fir
st nine months of 1968 were still
nearly nine inches below normal
for the year. Total rainfall for
the first ten months now amounts
to 34.99 inches, which is still 8.05
inches below normal.
During October the tempera
tures varied from 87 degrees for
the first two days, to a 34 degree
reading on the 26th. A new min
imum all-time record was set on
the sth, when the temperature
dipped down to 43 degrees, br
eaking the previous recod of 45
degrees set back quite recently
in 1961 of 45 degrees.
The first 10 days were slightly
on the plus side of normal, while
the second ten days were three
degrees above normal, and the
last eleven days cooled off to 8.4
degrees below, having a tenden
cy to level off the entire month,
and the month ended with an av
erage of 64.0 degrees, which was
1.5 degrees below the normal
65.5 degrees.
The maximum average was
73.5 degrees, and the minimum
average was 54.5 degrees, giving
the month an overall average of
64.00 degrees.
Back to the discussion on rela
tive humidity, which many peo
ple do not fully understand. It
isn’t easy to get across to the
average individual just what
•‘relative humify" is. It is the
amount of moisture in the air,
whether indoors or outside. Most
authorities agree that the ideal
relative humidity level for the
average home is between 30 and
50 per cent, both from the econ
omy standpoint and the comfort
of individuals.
However, more than 40 per
cent is probably impractical be
cause of the condensation on
windows during the winter mon
ths. It is recommended that bet
ween 30 and 35 per cent relative
humidity be maintained in the
average home during the heat
ing season.
How to determine this relative
humlditiy? A fairly good Instru
ment to Indicate the relative hu
midity can be bought just for a
few dollars, and will be well sp
ent If you can save money by
keeping the relative humidity at
the recommended level.
Some heating units have ad-
the Israeli army and air force.
Jordanian sources said the
commandos were restive be
cause of Hussein’s reported
desire to bring them under
firmer control in order to
prevent any future Israeli
retaliation which could damage
his country’s shaky economic
and political struggle still
further.
The Arab commando attacks
coincided with demonstrations
by a group of 1.000 students in
their support. There also were
demonstrations Sunday and on
Saturday when a mob of about
20,000 stormed the U.S. Embas
sy. No Americans were hurt.
Justments to control the amount
of heat given off by a furnace,
and some also have an Indicator
to tell you what percentage of
relative humidity is maintained
at a particular setting of your
furnace. I suggest that you con
sult the maker of your furnace.
We will give further Information
in a later weather summary.

How To Cut
Medical Costs
Hit SSO-Billion
By LEROY POPE
UPI Business Writer
NEW YORK (UPD—The best
solution to the problem of
mounting costs of medical care
is to widen benefits and get
tough about prices and fees,
says the national president of
Blue Cross.
Business has a huge stake in
the matter since health care in
America today is supported
either by government or pay
roll deductions largely negoti
ated In union contracts, says
Walter J. McNenery of Chica
go, the Blue Cross chief.
The cost of medical care now
runs about SSO billion a year
and could hit SIOO billion by
1975. The manufacture of drugs
and medical and health equip
ment will run bout S2O billion
this year. If It can be consid
ered a distinct industry, health
care ranks about third among
all the country’s industries.
McNerney said the public is
exercising pressure, through
unions principally to extend
Blue Cross medical services to
include alcoholism and mental
and emotional cases and dental
care. “Business simply will not
be able to bear the burden un
less costs are brought down or
at least unless the rise In costs
Is checked,” he said.
Getting tough and Insisting
that hospitals and doctors fol
low sound business practices is
the only way to diminish the

excessive costs and burden on
hospital facilities, he said.
McNerney also said Blue
Cross tends increasingly to fa
vor generic drugs over private
brand drugs where the cost is
cheaper for the same quality
and also favors the professional
fee system over the prevailing
trade markup pricing system
for prescription drugs.
He said he wouldn’t be sur
prised if Blue Cross ’’g o t
tough” about those things too.
McNerney has been getting
tough with hospitals for some
time now and, according to an
article in Medical World News
earlier this year, many a hos
pital administrator among the
7,000 affiliated with Blue Cross
“does not look too favorably
upon Walt McNerney when he
starts blowing that trumpet of
his for more controls and better
accounting.”
McNerney told United Press
International—"We need a care
ful blend of professional, legal
and fiscal controls on costs.”
This theory agrees with that of
Ray E. Brown, Harvard’s pro
fessor of hospital administration
who says “voluntary planning
simply hasn’t worked and won’t
unless there la legal leverage
behind it.”
He also said much more
study should be given by every
one in health care to the re
duction of patient stays in hos
pitals.
