J Ford is to depart immediately ter bis speech and his aides say he ay not leave Washington again all month except to fly to Philadelphia for the first ofhis debates with Carter on Sept. 23. Carter started out in Arizona on Tuesday and worked his way to Montana and the Dakotas. Both he and his running mate, Sen. Walter Mondale, accused the Ford adminis tration of poor management that has turned the Medicare program into a “national disgrace.” Mondale and Carter were to join forces today for appearances in Min nesota. Ford spent the day at the White House, but his running mate, Sen. Bob Dole, was campaigning in the West. In Phoenix, Ariz., Carter said, “I’d like to know why, after eight years of a Republican administra tion, we re still losing 25 to 50 per cent of all the Medicaid money that’s supposed to be for good health care. ” A Senate subcommittee recently documented instances of unneeded and duplicated health exams and laboratory work paid for by the gov ernment, and Senate investigators estimated that perhaps as much as half of the money spent annually on Medicare is wasted. The Democratic nominee said he wanted to know why Ford, as a con gressman, had voted against Medi care, adding: “When an administra tion opposes the basic concepts of helping with public funds to provide good health care for our people, it is almost inevitable that health care programs will not be operated prop erly.” Turning to his plan for a national health care system, Carter said: “Our country’s ready for it, you’re ready for it, I’m ready for it, and we re going to have it.” Embrey’s Jewelry <i ■ We Specialize In Aggie Rings.

Carter said $60 billion a year in new money for such a health care program would be available to the government by 1981 if the unem ployment rate is cut to 5 or 5.5 per cent and if the national economic growth rate is 4 or 5 per cent. Carter also rapped Ford’s eco nomic and farm policies, saying, “Our farmers are going broke, pro ducing food that consumers cannot afford to buy. That’s got to be changed. We need a predictable ag riculture policy.” He said a new basic farm policy law must be written and he said Sec retary of Agriculture Earl Butz should be replaced with someone who would worry more about small farmers than agricultural corpora tions. “Almost anybody would be an improvement,” Carter said.

Texas Ave. COLLEGE STATION/104 East University Drive Florida, agreed with Carter on Med icare, saying scandals in the program are caused by “government that is not in charge and rich folks ripping off senior citizens.” In Illinois, later Tuesday, Mondale admitted a “difference in emphasis” with Carter on the deci sions of the Supreme Court. Carter had praise Monday for the decisions of the Burger court, domi nated by appointees of Ford and re signed President Richard M. Nixon. Carter said the court under the late Earl Warren went “too far . . . and obviously guilty people were re leased unpunished. Mondale, in Champaign-Urbana, Ill., said he backs unpunishment “under terms of law,” but “at the same time, I have always supported those decisions which protect the constitutional rights of defendants. ” As for the Burger court, Mondale said, “I’ve had trouble accepting some of the recent decisions of the court.” Neigher candidate specified any court decisions. Dole told a San Francisco business group that Democratic programs would lead to raging inflation and could cost $100 billion. Dole noted Carter has said he might have to delay some ofhis pro grams, but suggested Carter “will be hard-pressed to indicate what he’s going to abandon, or to actually abandon anything, because a very substantial part ofhis hard-core con stituency favors those spending pro grams. I just don’t believe he will be able to divorce himself from the basic program and platform which he campaigns on and upon which he has been nominated.” Powell refuses to stay McCarthy ballot order ] Associated Press WASHINGTON—Supreme Court Justice Lewis F. Powell refused late Tuesday to stay an order by a three- judge federal court panel in Austin, Tex., that denied former Sen. Eugene McCarthy a place on the Texas Ballot as an independent can didate for president. Powell said he consulted with six ofhis eight fellow justices and all said they would concur with his decision not to stay the order. He said the Supreme Court does not have jurisdiction in McCarthy’s suit, but the candidate could go to a circuit court of appeals to seek relief. The federal judges in Texas had agreed with McCarthy that a portion of the Texas Election Code which Fis does not allow independent candi dates to run for president and vice president is unconstitutional. But the panel said McCarthy had waited too long to get on the by gathering signatures on petitions, and could only run a write-in cam paign in Texas. executive Workers.
