plan to Congress.
Carter has left the lobbying effort
chiefly to Joseph A. Califano Jr.,the
secretary of Health, Education and
Welfare. But Kennedy contends the
President should have taken a more
visible stand on the issue, as he has
done on his energy package.
“For such a complex issue, with
vocal vested interests opposing the bill,
a strong educational effort throughout
the country and with the Congress is
essential,’’ Kennedy said in a recent
speech.
Meanwhile, according to ad
ministration estimates, consumers
were expected to pay an extra $750
million in hospital bills in the last three
months of the year and face even higher
payments next year.
The federal budget for the current
fiscal year, which began Oct. 1, had
assumed a slower rise in hospital costs
for the government’s Medicare and
Medicaid programs than has been the

Man admits
13 robberies
SODDY-DAISY, Tenn.
(AP)— After William Leon
Walker was saved by the Lord,
police said he walked into the
Soddy-Daisy station and con
fessed robbing 13 stores this
year in Tennessee and Georgia.
Chattanooga police booked
Walker, 25, on three counts of
armed robbery Tuesday night.
Representatives of other de
partments were to Interview
him today.
“He said he’d been saved by
the Lord the night before,” Pa
trolman Allen Branum said.
“He said he knew he’d probably
do a lot of time, but that he just
couldn’t live with his con
science.”
Branum, once a schoolmate
of Walker’s, called in Sgt. Ed
Schroyer of the detective squad.
Schroyer said the suspect gave
him statements on each of the 13
robberies, then signed them.
“I was flabbergasted to begin
with,” Schroyer said. “But he
told me he had gotten religion at
the Soddy Church of Christ last
night and confessed.”
The sergeant said Walker
confessed to robbing five stores
in the Chattanooga area, four in
north Georgia, three in the
Knoxville area, and one in La-
Follette, Tenn.
case.
The Carter proposal is to limit the
cost increases for hospitals to the
general inflation rate, plus a 3 per cent
allowance for technological improve
ment. This formula would allow annual
cost increases of about 9 per cent, in
stead of the 15 per cent of recent years.
The administration also proposed a
national limit on capital expenditure?
for hospitals of about half the current $5
billion per year, saying that new
buildings have boosted hospital costs.
The Congressional Budget Office has
estimated the nation would save more
than S4O billion in the next five years
under the administration plan.
But the American Medical
Association and other medical groups
have opposed the bill, saying it would
reduce the quality of health care. The
administration says unnecessary costs
can be trimmed while keeping quality
care.

Freak accident kills
third of snail darters
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -
A freak accident has resulted in
the killing of an estimated one
third of the population of snail
darters, a small endangered
fish found only in the Little
Tennessee River.
Biologists say they believe the
accident on Tuesday was
caused by a toxic chemical on a
net which was being used to
handle the fish.
The accident, killing 94 snail
darters, occurred during efforts
to move the fish from below the
Tellico Dam to their breeding
grounds upstream.
The existence of the fish pop
ulation has resulted in a court
order prohibiting further con
struction on the Tennessee Val
ley Authority’s proposed sll6
million Tellico Dam project. As
an endangered species, the
snail darters are protected by
federal law against actions
German tourist will really
visit San Francisco this time
BANGOR, Maine (AP) - Er
win Kreuz will visit San Fran
cisco. Really. San Francisco.
Kreuz is the West German
tourist who got off a chartered
plane when it stopped for fuel in
Bangor Oct. 7. Believing he was
in San Francisco, he wandered
about town for four days before
learning that he was on the
wrong coast.
Kreuz accepted an invitation
Tuesday by The San Francisco
Examiner to fly him and an in
terpreter to the West Coast on
Friday.
The 50-year-old brewery
worker plans to head back home
to Augsberg, West Germany, on
Monday.
Examiner City Editor Jim
Willse said the newspaper
planned to put Kreuz and his
interpreter up with a family
that speaks German.
“We thought it would be a
shame if Mr. Kreuz went back
to Europe without seeing San
Francisco,” Willse said. He said
the trip would cost the
newspaper about SI,OOO.
Kreuz, who speaks no Eng
lish, said during the first few
which would alter their natural
habitat.
TV A biologists and Hal Boles,
a staff biologist for the U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service said
the fish kill was likely caused by
a poisonous substance on a
small net used to handle fish for
measurement before they were
placed back in the Little Ten
nessee in the Coytee Springs
area some 15 miles above the
dam.
“We had measured about half
the fish when we noticed they
were showing signs of distress,”
Boles said. “They were turning
over on their sides.”
The 94 fish had been caught
below the Tellico Dam during
the day as biolgists began their
first day of transplant oper
ations.
The TV A had strongly op
posed moving the fish up
stream, but agreed last week to,
days, he thought he was in a
suburb of San Francisco, and
when he dined in one of Bang
or’s two Chinese restaurants, it
reinforced his belief. He said he
had seen pictures of surburban
California where the hills look
ed like those around Bangor.
He’d heard about San Fran
cisco’s Chinatown.
The red cheeked, sapling
Kreuz realized something was
wrong when he was forced to
leave his Bangor hotel, which
was booked full for an upcoming
special college weekend.
Hotel personnel contacted the
owners of a German-American

officials who said the federal
Endangered Species Act re
quired them to move the fish.
The darters, members of the
perch family; have been rapidly
dying out below the dam be
cause it blocks movement of the
fish to where they reproduce.
Boles said the net, which is
property of the Fish and Wild
life Service, had last been used
in Florida, and said he wasn’t
sure what types of chemical it
might have been near.
TVA officials said they plan to
take a chemical sample of the
flesh of the fish to determine
what chemical killed the fish.
It had been expected that the
transplant operation would
