MEDITORIAL: Care of the aged is a point of great dispute, In and out of government circles. As you might 6uspect, my recent article on the subject provoked much debate among my readers, if I can Judge from my mail. Out I think there Is some misunderstanding misunder-standing of my position, which I hope to clear up. Mr. J. K., aged 90, is representative represen-tative of the dissenters. He wrote, "You say the family should care for us oldsters. What if you have none? I receive a small pension, for my wife and myself, and it isn't enough. All I want is medical and housing help and you, for one, are against it. Why not suggest sug-gest a firing squad? Or let them commit suicide. It's too bad we old people have to read something like this in the newspaper." If Mr. J. K. would reread my column he would find, contrary to what he thinks, my endorsement endorse-ment of medical care for the aged. Also, I didn't say the family alunc should do the Job, but that it was an ''individual, family problem." prob-lem." And a problem It Is! The one thing I disagree with is the government's assumption of this role. I still think this should be done on a private basis, both by the individual's preparation for old age (through savings, insurance, in-surance, pensions) and by the family. Further, if outside help is to be given it should come at the local level, from hospital clinics, local public health facilities and the like and through private health insurance. I certainly don't mean to imply that I have all the answers to this problem because I don't. Many others, wiser than I, are wrestling with it and they have no definite solution. I hope it won't be too long, however, before they do. Mr. Long's mother, Mr. Clen Long are leaving this week end to vacation vaca-tion a week in San Francisco and Oakland, Calif.
