Insurance Men Believe Merit-Rating Plan Fair
DETROIT (UPI) - Most insur
ance officials feel the merit rat
ing plan of automobile insurance
is the fairest way to provide pro
tection lor motorists but many of
them are skeptical over whether
it will be practical, a United
Press International survey shows
the merit plan, which will be
tested on a large scale for the
first time in California beginning
May 1, provides lower insurance
rates for motorists with good driv-
:ng records ana nigner rates lor
drivers with poor records.
Under tne California plan, the
drivers would be divided into
three groups those who have had
no accidents or traffic violations
in the last three years, those who
have had only one violation or ac
cident, and those who have had
two or more.
The first group would get lower
insurance rates. The second
group's rates will remain about
the same. The 'iiird group's rates
will go up.
"We're glad to see other seg
ments of the insurance industry
adopt the plan we pioneered three
years ago in Ohio and now have
out in the pioneer stage," said
Charles Eberhard, vice president
and treasurer of the National
Casualty Co., Detroit, one of the
first companies to experiment
with merit rating.

second time in 18 days. .
The missile blasted aloft at
1:35 a.m. and appeared to perform
perfectly while in view.
The main mission was to gather

SEATTLE (AP)-Harry Bridges
said Tuesday his West Coast long
shoremen would not refuse to han
dle Japanese salmon shipments
under any circumstances.
Sen. Magnuson (D-Wash) had
suggested at a Senate subcommit
tee hearing here last week that
dock workers might boycott Jap
anese imports in protest over
Alaska fisheries problems.
Bridges, here for the convention
of the International Longshoremen
and Warehousemen's Union which
he heads, said in an interview:
"I don't think this would be con
structive. We know something
ought to be done in the Bristol
Bay situation, particularly regard
ing conservation as well as pos
sibly subsidies.
But we don t think the type of
action such as the boycott proposed
or mentioned would do any good
at all,"
The iubcommiltee hearing over
which Magnuson presided was on
a bill which would ban Japanese
canned salmon imports unless the
Japanese curtail their fishing in
the North Pacific.
Alaskans blame Japanese catch
es of Alaska-spawned salmon for
declining runs which forced clo
sure of Bristol Bay to commercial
fishing this season.

there, also was enthusiastic about
it.
"Missouri would welcome such
a plan that rewards safe drivers,"
he said. "It's something we have
wanted for a long time."
Other insurance commissioners
preferred . to wait to see the
results of the California experi
ment, although they said they
"personally think it is a good
idea."
Michigan insurance officials said
the plan offers "great hope" but
there also were "a great many
things that could go wrong."
Some other insurance commis
sioners pointed out some of the
difficulties they foresaw.
Idaho Commissioner Leo O'Con
nel pointed out the plan would be
"workable only in slates where
authorities maintain adequate traf
fic accident records."
Miss Fannie Hardy, executive
assistant to Arkansas Insurance
Commissioner Harvey G. Combs,
said she doesn't consider the plan
feasible.
"Insurance companies in recent
years have paid out more in
claims than they have taken in,"
she said. "This plan will not set
tle that problem."
"How in the world could state
departments keep up with the
records," Arizona Insurance Di
rector George V. Bushnell as&ed.
"It would require greatly in
creased staffs."
Engle Calls
For Hearings
WASHINGTON (UPI) Sen.
Clair Engle (D-Calif.) Monday
called for early concessional
hearings on proposed construction
of the Hidden afid Buchanan dams
and reservoirs in California.
"The time for study hs
and the time for action is no,"
Engle said.
In a letter to Sen. Dennis Cha
vez (D-N.M.), chairman of the
Senate Public Works Committee,
Engle requested that representa
tives of the Corps of Engineers
atid the Reclamation Bureau be
invited to testify on the feasibility
of the long-pending projects.
The units have been delayed be
cause of a dispute between the
corps and the bureau over which
agency should build thm. Enele
said a recent water development
agreement signed by the two agen
cies should clear this up.
fcngle told Chavez the reser
voirs are needed "more than
ever now in order to provide
flood control on the Chowchilla
and Fresno rivers as well as sup
plemental irrigation storage for
Madera County.
