C.I.O. Awaits Reply From, Connecticut Blue Cross

The CI.O. said today that it has yet to receive an answer from leaders of the Connecticut Blue Cross to it's complaints about closed corporation practices on part of the hospital plan organiza- ton.
 We've read lengthy explanations aimed at justifying the higher rates and reduced benefits which become effective Sept. 1, but We haven't heard single word on the most basic of our complaints, namely that subscribers or their representa- tives should have places on the gov- erning board,' said Harold Senior, publicity director for the Connecti- cut CI.O. Council.
 The people who pay the cost of the Blue Cross should be the ones to decide it's policies" MT. Senior went on. "As it stands now all de- cisions are made by group whose interests are far removed from those of the average member What we want is democratic organization run along truly democratic lines"
 MT. Senior charged that some benefits, notably diagnostic service, have been removed from the Blue Cross contracts because of pressure from certain groups of doctors. He cited specifically doctors spe- cializing in X-ray work
 Our members" said MT. Senior, "are still waiting to hear from the Blue Cross in answer to the most fundamental of our questions: Why are not the members given repre- sentation On the policy board? All We have heard up to now are eva sions. We don't ask for an en- graved reply addressed to us; we simply want a common-sense an- SWer directed to all the members of the plan.
 The C.I.O. spokesman emphasized that his criticism was not directed at the plan itself but rather at what he termed high handed" policies of administration.
 The local C.I.O. loosed its attack on management of the Blue Cross a week ago. Sharp criticism of the new rate increases and reductions in benefits has also been voiced by state A.F.L. leaders.
