Russians Try to Arouse
Japanese Over RB47
Landings In Japan
TOKYO, UPI — Moscow radio
charged that American RB47 re
connaissance planes are stopping
periodically at Yokota Air Base
near Tokyo on spy flights to the
Soviet Union and Red China.
The charge, in a Japanese-lan
guage broadcast, obviously was
aimed at increasing Japanese
fears of involvement in US.-So
viet difficulties as a result of the
use of American bases in Japan.
After the Russians shot down
an RB47 in the Arctic July 1,
one Japanese newspaper asked
editorially if American U2 planes
withdrawn from Japan had been
i replaced by RB47s.
| Moscow radio said the RB47s
, using the Japanese base are based
on Guam.
Colorado’s Medical Aid
For Old-Age Pensioners
Running Out of Money
DENVER, Colo., UP(—Colorado’s
program of hospitalization and
medical aid for old age pension
ers, one of the most liberal in
the nation, is running into fin
ancial difficulties and may have
to be cut back, officials said.
The program is costing $102,000
a month more than is available
for payments, the dii*ctor, Guy
| Justis, reported.
Under the program—which is
written into Colorado’s constitu
tion—pensioners are entitled to 30
days of hospital treatment, nurs
ing home care, and the cost of
physicians’ visits and medicines.
There are approximately 52,000
pensioners in Colorado and Justis
said 32,733 of them received some
tpye of free care from the fund
during the past year.
The medical care plan was part
of a package program under
which Colorado’s pension system
was rewritten in 1956. The pro
gram calls for a maximum pen
sion of $190 monthly. This has
been increased gradually until
next month pensions will reach
$107.
