...Twilight Zone." To several Senators, that was not enough, and Senator Long, the bill's floor manager, spent most of the week fighting off efforts to broaden coverage. Connecticut Democrat Abraham Ribicoff came up with a $180 million plan to give free, unlimited hospitalization to the aged to protect them against "the crushing economic burden of catastrophic illness." He lost but by a narrow 43-39 vote. Vermont Republican Winston Prouty wanted to raise the minimum social-security retirement benefit to $70 but lost, 79 to 12.

The deal would also broaden Union's marketing outside of the highly competitive West Coast area. One important Union stock holder, however, is not impressed. Ship ping Magnate Daniel K. Ludwig, who in 1963 bought 14% of Union stock as a long-term investment, argued that the merger would dilute stock values. He prepared to sell his 4,100,000 shares back to the company for $146 million. The sale will be the largest...
