FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1967 SUN-DEMOCRAT, PADUCAH, KY. Mrs. Holleman, 42, Paducah Native, Dies KIRKWOOD, Dec. 8 Mrs. Nancy Kern Holleman, wife of Louis Holleman, died Thursday morning at Barnes Hospital in St.
Louis following an extended illness. She was 42. Survivors, beside her husband, include four children, Nancy Dabney, Matthew William and Mary Holleman; her mother, Mrs. J. W.
Kern, Paducah; and two brothers, T. Dabney Kern, Flossmore, and Capt. Welfare (Continued From Page One) books, housing, medical care and everything else that's needed to live decently. "Now a certain amount is located to welfare, and that amount is simply divided among the number of recipients. Any resemblance between the amount paid under this system and the recipient's actual basic needs is purely coincidental." Officers of the state group said a primary aim is to insure that every Kentucky family on welfare receives at least the income defined by the federal government as the minimum for decent living.
The present system, they said, guarantees that welfare cipients will I receive less than the poverty level. "That's guaranteed poverty," said Mrs. Henderson. One family of six, which officers said is typical in Paducah, receives $178 a month welfare payments. The formula under which welfare payments are calculated, they said, set up what the basic needs of a family are, in money terms.
Then the payment is at a figure below that. "It figures out to about 85 cent," said Mrs. Lawless. The other major target of the welfare rights group is the rule that if a recipient receives come from any other source Social Security, for example his welfare payment will be cut by that amount. "It penalizes you for trying help yourself," said Mrs.
Henderson. The organization will propose bill to the legislature under which every family on welfare would be assured its basic needs, no matter how much money takes. "The objection to this is always how much money it's going to take," said Mrs. Lawless. "Well, we're talking about human beings, not cattle.
These are old people, crippled people, blind people, children. They can find money for highways and every other conceivable thing. They can find money to make sure that people can live decently." There were complaints, too, about what were described as callous attitudes by state welfare workers toward recipients of state aid. Mrs. Reed, the treasurer of the group, who lives with her two children with her state welfare payments as her only income, cited the slowness of pay-, ments.
"We're supposed to get our checks on the first of the month. Last month it didn't arrive until the 16th. I was sick with the flu. I had to get out and chop wood. "This month I haven't got my check yet.
I called the Economic Security office to ask about my check, and the social worker told me I'd have to go to Mrs. (Josephine) Kelley (executive secretary of the Paducah Family Service Society)." Delays resulting from changes of address are another source of hardship. Welfare recipients, say that when they move, their checks can't be forwarded under rules. Instead, they are sent back to Frankfort and reissued. "Copters (Continued From Page One) the Reds, and two Air Cavalry companies landed in battle order flushed them out.
By Thursday night the North Vietnamese had been pushed from the concealed bunkers and fortifications that made up their hidden base, but the running battle continued. Air Strikes raked the enemy during the day Thursday and Friday, and flareships stuck overhead in the hours of darkness. As night fell Friday, American officers said the cavalrymen were still in pursuit. Others policed the battlefield, and U.S. officers said the enemy death toll would certainly rise.
U.S. spokesmen said no AmerScan casualty figures would be revealed until the action was broken off.

Tennessean Makes Bond On Murder UNION CITY, Dec. 8- James C.
Poole, an Obion County mechanic, has been freed from the county jail at Union City on $10,000 bond after being bound over to the grand jury on charges of second degree murder, driving while intoxicated and leaving the scene of an accident. The bond was set by General Session Judge Ebb Gwaltney after Poole waived hearing. Poole, 53, a resident of Harris Station, is charged in a hit-and-ers run accident on the Fulton-Union City highway Monday night that resulted in the death of Mrs. Olive Gerstenecker, 68, of Cen-1 tralia, Ill. Her husband, James Gerstenecker, 73, received multiple injuries and is in Obion County General Hospital.
His condition was described as good. State Trooper P. T. English said Poole is charged with being the driver of truck t1 that sideswiped the Gerstenecker car. Mrs.
Gerstenecker was pinned in the wreckage more than an hour. She and her husband were reported en route to Florida, Poole was taken into custody at his home almost five hours after the accident. Legislature (Continued From Page One) The vote was 7-5 with Democrats carrying the day the Republican minority: going Sen. Shelby Kinkead Lexington and Sen. J.
D. man of Shepherdsville, the rent floor leader. "As a party man I don't to do anything against our tenant governor," said Martin Duff, D-Louisville. Others agreed with Duffy used an ideological They said the lieutenant governor is not really part of the ecutive branch. Ford attended the LRC meeting as an observer.
He said rector James Fleming invited him. The debate over Ford's the next two years occurred against a backdrop of jockeying for Senate power. Buckman reportedly is adverse to seeking the Senate pro tem post now held mer Gov. Lawrence Wetherby Frankfort, who wants to keep Wetherby and Ford reportedreached an understanding which would keep the status quo for Wetherby. If these undercurrents had any bearing on the debate voting, it was not apparent.
LRC recommended a duction and standardization committees in both chambersmore than 15 to reduce plication and useless committees. It also voted an end to "gag rule" under which a majority of legislators can shut amendments and limit debate a bill. The House has been operating without the gag rule, but Senate has become embroiled controversy over it. This was especially true durthe factional tug of war tween Lt. Gov.
Harry Lee Waterfield and Gov. Edward Breathitt. The elimination of the gag rule probably won't accrue advantage of Republican Louie B. Nunn, who hopes to control the legislature through a coalition, The gag rule usually helps governor who has a slight majority and is most vital during consideration of the biennial budget bill. That's just where Nunn likely to face his early and strong challenge from the Democrats.
Yet the Republicans on the LRC, some of whom denounced gag rule for years, might have found it embarrassing suddenly to embrace it merely because their party at last had governor.

Tanks TAIPEI, Formosa (AP)-Nationalist China today took delivery of the first shipload of a "large number" of tanks from the United States. The number and type of the tanks were not disclosed but they probably were M41 Walker Bulldogs, of which hundreds are needed to replace older models. Mrs. Nunn's (Continued From Page One) In fact, Mrs. Nunn believes the present Democratic administration did tell one of her non- highway customers-a contractor building a state university dormitory-to change insurance agents.
(He didn't do so.) "That's the way they've been doing it," she said. However, the wife of the new Republican governor said it won't be that way under her husband. "I think you'll find there's going to be a change in Frankfort," Mrs. Nunn said. "I don't think the new governor is going to put up with his commissionshowing favoritism." Mrs.
Nunn said her agency has no direct state insurance business and will not have any. "I will never be one to embarrass him by being involved in state business," she said. "On the other hand, I'm not going to give up my insurance business by his being governor." The bonding-business buzz started after The Aetna Casualty and Surety filed a powerof-attorney form with the highdepartment. It authorizes MinS. Nunn and Jerry L.
Hardison, agency co owners, to write bonds, but sets a $350,000 maximum per bond, a limit which would cut them out of the big highway jobs. "I can tell you that's about as innocent as it could be," said Robert Wagoner, manager of Aetna's bond department in Kentucky. "If we were contemplating a big rush by that agency, two we would be up there filing! multi-million or unlimited for of in their beout- half." of Also, the filing was on Oct. Buck- 11, well before the Nov. 7 eleccur- tion which decided the governorship.
want Hardison said it there's to be lieu- an effort to swing business his Sen. way through politics, he doesn't know about it. but "We try to perform a service for the customers we now ex- said Hardison. "If people bring their business to me, I'm thankful for it. Whether we have any more contractors will be up to di- the contractors themselves." Hardison has been coming to role some of the contractors' gatherings which precede the highway bid openings in Frankfort.
"I've been four or five times in the last year," he said. not An official who attends these sessions regularly said, "'This forfellow Hardison came up, last Thursday night. He did tell me in passing that 1 he was in business with Mrs. Nunn in Glasgow. It's the first time I had ever seen him around." Hardison's name appears just once on the highway department's record of agents who or wrote bonds during 1966 and re- 1967.
That bond was for $299,373, of a relatively small amount. Meanwhile, several easilyrecognizable Democratic names duwere doing more extensive business, although no one agent enthe joyed anything approaching a monopoly. The list included: off Robert M. Hardy, Frankfort, son-in-law of Lt. Gov.
Harry Lee Waterfield, 20 bonds for 470; Rayburn W. Ford, brother the of Lt. Wendell Ford in and partner with him in an Owensboro agency, 23 bonds for former State Sen. be-, Strother Melton and S. R.
Woodall partners in a Paducah T. agency, 8 bonds for State Rep. Howard P. Hunt Danville, one bond for $2,551,044, to and Sen. Wilson Palmer, Cynthiana, 9 bonds for $1,686,596.
(Agents' commissions average about .001 of the face amount, Wagoner said. For a countera signature of an out-of-state contractor's bond, the Kentucky agent gets half the commission.) Because Waterfield has been on the "outs" with the is administration, Hardy's showing indicates a lack of political pressure on contractors. "My opinion is that it's been pretty simon-pure over there the last few years, except for state contractors who come in here and are subject to Kentucky's counter -signature a said Wagoner. "Undoubtedly, some agents have been selected to handle counter-signatures." Several of those contacted claimed the picture was much different under former Gov. A.
B. "Happy" Chandler in 1955-59. One of the favored firms then was reported to be a Frankfort agency, "No Pickett and Goins. more than (E.W.) Jouett over at Winchester and a couple of others," responded Franklin Goins. Asked to compare his business under Chandler with the Breathitt term, Goins said, "One of them was good and the other one nil." The word of Mrs.
Nunn's presence in the bonding field already had spread to most of those interviewed, including Goins. "That fellow she's associated with, he's been doing a little a talking, but we'll just have to wait and see," said Goins.

They, now get $35.
The conferees accepted House figure of $40. -Provisions for disabled widlows and widowers to get fullscale benefits equal to per cent of the spouse's primary entitlement. The conferees took the House language which would give them 50 to per cent of the entitlement and then only if the person is age 50 or older. -The right of persons 65 and over to continue to deduct full medical expenses on income tax returns. Under present law, which is retained, these persons lose this right effective this on returns due next April.
They will be allowed to deduct only medical expenses which exceed 3 per cent of income and drug expenses which exceed 1 per cent. -Extra grants to enable states increase welfare payments to the needy aged, blind reflect increasing congressional concern over soaring costs of relief programs. The bill would boost Social Security benefits $3.6 billion in 1969, the first full year of operation, compared with $7.1 billion under the Senate measure and $3.4 billion under the House version. Taxes would be increased in 1969 by $1.5 billion over what present law would yield. But there still would be a $4.7 billion revenue-to-outgo surplus that year.
Johnson asked for a 15 per cent general increase in benefits and a $70 minimum. The Senate accepted this. But the final increases included in the bill were much closer to the per cent hike and $50 minimum voted by the House. The conferees swept aside or scaled down dozens of liberalizing amendments put into the bill in the Senate. Among them were: -Permission for men and women to retire at age 60 with reduced benefits.
Now they must wait to age 62, except for widows who can get payments at 60. -Allowance for retired persons to earn up to $2,400 a year without losing any benefits. The present limit is $1,500. The conferees adopted the proposed House figure of $1,680. -Disabled children's benefits! up to age 22.
law, which is retained, cuts these off at age and disabled by $7.50 a month. -Permission for blind persons to qualify for disability payments even if they are able to work. -Aid to needy children in foster homes. -A requirement that states include aid for unemployed fathers under the Aid Families with Dependent Chil-1 dren (AFDC) program. Also wiped out was a versial drug amendment sponsored by Sen.
Russell B. Long, under which the govern: ment would determine and publish a list of low-cost effective drugs for use in the medicare and medicaid programs. In its place the conferees put a requirement that states must guarantee use of reasonably priced drugs-for medicaid assistance. In accepting the harsher House position on AFDC, the conferees knocked out language that would have exempted mothers with preschool children from a compulsory work requirement. They also retained a muchcriticized House freeze that would limit federal payments for the program to the tion of children on the rolls in a state as of January 1968.

U.S. Cotton Crop Is Down WASHINGTON (AP) The Agriculture Department's final report of the year today estimated cotton production at 618,000 bales of 500 pounds gross weight. This is the smallest crop since 1895. The indicated crop compares, with 7,969,000 forecast a month ago, 9,575,000 produced last year and the 1961-65 average of 935,000 bales.
Production this year was held down by a government program offering growers substantial payments for underplanting their acreage allotments and by adverse weather. The payment program was designed to reduce production to make room in markets for surpluses.

Noting that several bills fore Congress seek to abolish farm programs, Humphrey declared, "Net farm income would fall by one-third if present programs were dropped." The reserve program would specify "how and when (farm commodities) can be released so they do not interfere with the market and the pressures of prices," Humphrey said. Too often in the past, he said, "the government took over the stored grain and at some point had to sell it. There was no way the government could get this grain off its hands without havling some influence on the market." But new policies leave the cision to put stored commodities on the market in the the hands of the producer, he noted.
This has helped, he declared, but added that there was need for a program that would allow "us to pull surplus grain out of the commercial market when prices were low," thereby protecting the farmer, whose prices would rise because of the scarcity. Humphrey, at several points in his address, received extended applause and standing ovations, especially when he tossed out statements supporting the NFO goals or Staley.
