House Fails to Approve Measure for Paying Mem-
 bership Fees

Several thousand state employees face the loss of their benefits from the Plan for Hospital Care, Inc, through failure of the house ct Hartford to pass e senate-approved bill allowing deduction of their membership fees from their salaries.
 Robert Parnall, general manager of the plan, declared in . statement that "there Is some connection" be- tween the failure of the house to pass the bill and the introduction of an insurance company-sponsored bill providing for group life inSur- ance for state employees, with the state to pay part of the cost.
 State employees who joined the plan after Jan. l will oil have their contracts with the plan terminated. Those who joined prior to Jan. 1 will be able to remain as members if they can make some arrangement for group collection of dues.
 Republican Lender William M Hadden says that the house judiciary committee, which has held Up the bill, is divided on the question. Some members, he said, believe that dues in the plan can Do deducted with out any legislative action.

 King Humbert was assassinated by an anarchist and although severe oppressive measures were proposed to Victor Emmanuel when he as. cended the throne, he rfused to sanction them.
