at least 32 cars and injured five

The Georgia State Patrol said
a car driven by Eugene W.

swiped two vehicles and hit a
third one in the rear” to touch
off the accidents.

port an accident. He was later
released from the Lowndes
County Jail on $250 cash bond.
The patrol said in less than an
hour from the original crash, a
total of 14 accidents involving 32
cars were officially reported.
Five persons were taken to a
local hospital, but their injuries
were not serious.
Authorities said an estimated
10 - 20 more vehicles were
thought to be involved in minor
accidents where drivers ex
changed information and mu
tually agreed to solve the dam
ages themselves.
State trooper D. M. Cutchens
said the accidents took place in
the southbound lanes between
the intersections of U.S. 84 and
Georgia 94 with 1-75.
“It was a chain reaction
thing,” Cutchens said. ‘‘We
couldn’t clear the road fast
enough.”
Patrolmen began handing ac
cident reports to drivers to fill
out themselves as the accidents
continued in rapid fashion.
“We’d get to one, and about,
the time we’d get to it, there’d
be another one,” Trooper
Charles Griffin said.
The patrol estimated total
damage to the vehicles, which
included 15 left undriveable,
would reach $20,000 to $30,000.
Two persons died and more
than a dozen others were in
jured last Saturday in a similar
chain of accidents on 1-75 near
Macon. More than 20 accidents
were reported in the incident.
Wednesday’s accidents oc
curred in rapid succession, but
the patrol had traffic moving
snoothly within two hours from
the original accident.
“They were all running along
70 and 75 miles an hour out
there,” Cutchens said. “They
were running so close together
that when some of them started
slowing the rest of them
couldn’t stop.”
Broader health coverage in view?
(Seventh in a Series.)

WASHINGTON — (NEA)
— If and when a general in
surance program is adopted
in the United States, Social
Security’s Medicare division
may be subjected to one of
the biggest surgical actions
of modern times in govern
ment.
It would be foolish to fore
cast that a general program
will come soon, or to say
how sweeping it might really
be.
But if it does happen and
it is big, the outlook is that
Medicare simply will be
sliced out of Social Security
and placed under the expan
sive wings of general health
care.
The move would obviously
be logical, and some health
care specialists insist Medi
care, whose prime purpose
is helping the sick who are
elderly, would not be dam
aged by the transfer.
The pressures for broader
health coverage are mount
ing steadily. Congress put
some handwriting on the wall
this year when, for the first
time, it extended Medicare
coverage to persons under 65
—principally 1.7 million eligi
ble disabled persons who
happen to need a lot more
hospital and doctor care than
the general population.
History suggests that,

WILSON PRAISES PLAN
TEL AVIV (UPI) -Harold
Wilson, Britain’s opposition
Labor party leader, Wednesday
praised the U.S. plan for a
partial settlement of the Middle

East conflict.
“I am convinced that the
partial settlement which Israel
is offering is a good means to
bring about peace,” the former
British prime minister told the
Israeli Labor party’s central
committee. He criticized the
Arab position, “which says that
first of all Israel must commit
itself to an overall settlement
which is favorable only to the
other side.”
The United States proposed a
partial settlement in March,
1971, based on the reopening of
the Suez Canal. Israel agreed
but Egypt denounced the plan,
demanding that Israel withdraw
from occupied land.

ROBBERY FOILED
PAMPLONA, Spain (UPI) -
Four thieves surprised and tied
up the night-watchman of Santa
Catalina Convent, then set
about forcing the lock of the
main door to the nunnery, the
official news agency Cifra said
today.
But a cleaner spotted the
men and warned the nuns, who
appeared in force and scared
the thieves away.

going to be met piece-meal,
through patchwork amend
ments like the one here
mentioned, or dealt with on
a massive basis.
Should the latter, seeming
ly more sensible course be
taken, the scope of health
care will not be the only
massive thing. The cost will
be enormous.
Health specialists in Con
gress accept judgments that
the $57 billion price tag
usually attached to Sen. Ed
ward Kennedy’s comprehen
sive health bill (for fiscal
1974) is an accurate meas
ure of its cost. Clearly, it
would quickly rise well
beyond that in later years.
Since most Americans are
accustomed these days to
looking at multi-billion dollar
figures, that may not stagger
them much. What will get to

It calls for adding another

is taken). Some of this lat

don’t like to see the bills,
especially when they come in
the form of taxes—and taxes
taken from their paychecks.
Defenders of sweeping
plans like Kennedy’s (it is
used here because less com
prehensive plans may not
satisfy most Americans),
says the American citizen in
1971 spent $75 billion al
together on health care and
will spend more in 1972, with
$lO5 billion a likely 1974 total.
Some S2O billion in 1971 went
for private health insurance
plans.
So, say these defenders,
what would happen under
broad public coverage would
largely be a transfer from
private to public expendi
tures, with the citizens’ pay
ments made in taxes rather
than premiums. No one can
guess whether that argument
will wash when the test
comes.
