Early Hearings Due
On Bill 10 Regulate
Insurance Rates
Randolph to Expedite
Measure Tightening
Control Over Profits

Early hearings were promised to-
day by Chairman Randolph of the
House District Committee on the
measure of Representative Ander-
son, Democrat. of New Mexico to
empower the District superintendent
OF insurance to regulate fire and
casualty insurance rates.
The bill has been referred to the
Insurance and Banking Subcommit-
tee of the House District Committee
headed by Representative Lesinski,
Democrat. of Michigan.
Mr.. Randolph said that since the
District government does not have
authority to control fire and casu-
atty insurance rates, he thought it
was highly important" that action
on the measure be expedited.
The Commissioners are on record
protesting that fire and casualty in
suranceS rates now are fixed arbi-
trarily by insurance companies doing
business in the District, and that
only about 30. cents out of the
premium dollar goes to pay insur-
ance losses, leaving 10 cents for
expenses and profits.
The measure is broader than the
terms Of the McCarran bill now
awaiting action by the Senate This
measure. recently reported favorably
by the Senate District Committee
provides that the insurance superin-
tendent may adjust insurance rates
when he finds the profits are unrea
sonable. The Anderson bill woulo
authorize the insurance superintend-
ent to adjust rates if he finds the
rates are unreasonable, without re-
gard to the profits.

Scarlet Fever Cases
Spreading in District;
IS More Reported
Health Officials Warn
Parents to Take Core
To Seereeote Victims

Thirty-five more cases of scarlet
fever were reported to the District
Health Department today, raising to
$40 the total number which have
developed since January /, as COM
pared with los for the same period
last year.
Health Department doctors said
the initial indications of the disease
were sore throat and a Slight rash
Children exhibiting those symptoms
should be kept home from school
and examined Immediately by a
physician, the public was advised.
Health Ofhcer George C. Ruh-
land recommended a restriction in
the circulation of books from the
public libraries as an additional pre-
cautlonary measure against the
scarlet fever outbreak, it was an
nounced by the Health Department.
DR.. Rutland pointed out that
scarlet fever is primarily direct
contact infection, making it pos
sible for books freshly soiled by
scarlet fever patients to transmit
the disease. He recommended that
libraries not circulate books in fam
lilies where scarlet fever is present,
but that if books get into such a
home, they not be returned until
one week after the termination of
the period of quarantine.
DR.. Rutland also said "the early
segregation of the patient, concur
rent dsinfection and strict quaran-
tine in the home for a period of 81
days" were the most important
measures to be taken against the
spread of the disease.
