Ready For Realtor Week WASHINGTON (NANA) A lengthy, in-depth study of the auto insurance industry, which critics ca'S "the business with hundred million unsatisfied customers," will shortly get under way in the Department of Transportation (DOT).

Although regulated by the states in operations which net more than $10 billion in annual premiums, the insurers will undergo extensive federal scrutiny involving soaring increases in rates, the difficulties of tens of millions of Americans in obtaining any coverage, even at costs they can barely afford, and allegations of widespread abuses, including extensive discrimination. THE FORTHCOMING le-gislation authorizing an 18-month, J2 million study, being enacted in May, is based on recent hearings in which the rising anger of car owners over arbitrary cancellation of policies, denial of services and other abuses were aired. The hearings documented President Johnson's complaint in a consumer-interest message earlier this year about the problems of thousands of claimants for compensation in auto accident cases, in getting court hearings. The average delay is two and a half years. The hearings showed that insurers discriminate against doctors, clergy-men, divorcees, members of minority races, aircraft work ers, barbers, longshoremen, waitresses and enlisted personnel in the armed services as "high-risk" applicants for insur their activities and civic affairs and efforts to help citizens realize benefits, security and pride or property owner ship.

hide safety standards, and other aspects of surface and air transportation. Critics claim too many DOT officials are "industry-oriented." The most far-reaching reform could be federalize-tion of the Insurance system, along the lines of the medicare provisions of the Social Security Act. New Zealand provides for hospitalization and treatment of persons injured in auto crashes under the national health insurance system, which augments or complements private plans. Property losses incurred in the damaging of cars are handled separately. WILBUR COHEN, secretary of health, education and welfare, is known to favor some suctf system for the protection of people experiencing the greatest hardship under the existing liability and negligence system for compensation, where blame for an accident is often impossible to establish.

There is also likely to be consideration of a 1 licensing standards for drivers, now using permits issued by the states. Privately, 1 I 1 a tors recognize at least 5 per cent of the driver popula-tion ought to be denied licenses, supporting in part the contention of insurers. BUT IT IS another 25 to 30 per cent of nearly 100 million Americans the element that pays the highest rates and has the hardest time obtaining protection that is in need of federal or state remedies. Thsee are the Americans who absorb the greatest punishment for their love affair with the automobile. As a last extreme, federal insurance may have to be made available to them, in the absence of a satisfactory alternative.

need for a broad spectrum investigation of the industry. In their own insurers note that hospital and medical costs, repair ing of cars, administrative expenses in processing claims, litigation and other activities related to the operation of some 97 million registered motor vehicles have forced rates upward. In 1966, the total financial outlay was $12 billion, of which at least $650 million is estimated to have been spent on legal fees, paid to specialists in negligence settlements. IN THE SAME year, 53,000 persons were killed, 1,900,000 disabled, and four million injured as the result of some 24 million crashes. On the other hand the insurers are under fire for using retail credit agencies that resort to slovenly investigative practices in checking on risks.

A clergyman whose faith adhers to total abstinence was mistakenly identified as an alcoholic; there was someone else with the same name and a drinking problem. A legal secretary was listed as a cabaret employe. WOMEN PAID $1 per assignment were found to be quoting neighborhood gossip concerning applicants under consideration for insurance. The hearings' record notes that such raw, unverified information is shared by the entire industry, turning up in files used by many companies in checking on bad risks. Whether the $2 million DOT study, aided by other federal agencies and state regulatory officials, will lead to fundamental reforms is open to debate on Captiol Hill.

a espeare's tragedy was clearly understood by director Robert Juergens and through his sensitive interpertation we saw more than we had seen in a dozen other productions. THERE WAS, from beginning to end, nothing sive or distracting about the contemporary version. In fact because it was so very modern even mod it made more sense than a halfway attempt at bringing it up to date. The earthy, lusty opening coupled with the stunning set designed by Dale Am-lund set the mood for the hypnotism that the production held for us. From the murky, cobweb bed atmosphere emerged a mature characterization of the young Dane.

Bill McNulty as Hamlet was everything he must be and then more. This young actor stepped into the normally demented shoes of Hamlet and made a sane and understandable man of him. Having long been a McNulty fan, this superb per-formance convinced us again of his talent. I OR Juergens also took the role of Claudius, the king and he gave it the authority it demanded. It was wise of him to do the part, since it must have a mature actor.

In the case of Polonius, Bill Millard, does the character acting he knows so well in order to portray the old man. His vagaries, scheming, nonsensical wili-ness was excellently portrayed. The women, as in most of Shakespeare's plays are some what nebulous and can be done in a number.of THE LIGHT remark by Maj. Russell, an exuberant WAC from Salt Lake City, Utah, typifies the attitude of the six women. They're all career soldiers with overseas experience, and they play it cool.

Frazier of Maiden, Mo. the latter the college's only member of the Army Nurse Corps. UNTIL LAST year women of the military service attended the college's 18-week associate course offered mainly for Reservists, National Guard officers and others. But with abolishment of the short term, the Army faced the decision whether to subject females to the rigorous full course. The brass decided to try it, and both the Pentagon and the girls are happy with the results.

"It all came as quite a shock to me when tthey told me I was coming here," said Col. Frazier a tall brunette who had been serving as a hospital operating room supervisor. THE FACT some of the college's courses deal with weapons and large-scale tactics- something with which none of bhem had any experience doesn't rattle the ladies. "In fact, I was told since we didn't have any background in tactics, it would be easier for us because we didn't have anything to unlearn," related Col. Thompson.

In this case Nancy Butler played Gertrude in a somewhat disturbed and sometimes uncomprehending manner. We think she meant to do this and it was effective, if different. Karen Kreider as Ophelia presented some problems, for she never seemed to come to life as a human being. EVERYONE in this show had the miraculous quality of making these sometimes shadowy and cardboard like figures emerge real. Ray Edwards, Horatio, who also alternates as Hamlet on other nights, did a fine characterization of Hamlet's friend.

As Leartes, Patrick Malloy also was dedicated to his part. The production was mammoth, so it is impos-sible to speak of each in the cast, Suffice it "to say that everyone seemed to belong there, the action lagged (especially the fine exciting fencing scenes), the costumes were not only fitting but extraordinary, the music fine. A NOTE ON the novel manner in which the ghost of Hamlet's father was done is also necessary, For the first it was entirely believable, but you'll have to see why for yourself.

Congres-s i a 1 investigators are continuing their own investigation of insurers along these lines. Their chief object of concern is the 25 to 30 per cent of the U.S.

driver population which suffers discrimination because of questionable means in rating "high risks," These include the elderly as well as armed services personnel, and residents of "red-lined" areas areas with a high incidence of accidents. IT IS acknowledged that 5 per cent of the driving population ought to be denied licenses by the states, which also regulate the auto insurance business. But the category of drivers that have to resort to this mode of transportation for. reasons other than the American public's love affair with the motor car requires special considera' tion. This was brought out in reviewing the s-sional investigation that led to the plan for the DOT study.

Over a period hree years ending in 1966, at least 80 high-risk insurers, some of them fly-by-night concerns, went bankrupt, leaving policyholders unprotected. This prompted the introduction early last year of the Federal Motor Vehicle Insurance Guaranty to safeguard such customers.
