Bill Would Authorize
U.S.. Reinsurance Of
Medical Plan Policies
By Allen Drury

A Federal plan to help private
firms provide prepaid medical in
surance for more people is be-
fore Congress today. and Welfare
Secretary Hobby predicts it may
be the answer to compulsory
health insurance plans which
the administration considers
socialistic.
An administration bill to au-
thorize an appropriation of $25
million to establish a Federal re-
insurance fund was introduced
yesterday by Chairman H. Alex
ander Smith. Republican, of New
Jersey. of the Senate Labor Com
mittee. 1t would empower the
Secretary of Health. Education
and Welfare to establish a 12-
man national advisory council to
run the program. Eventually, the
program is supposed to become
Self-Supporting.
Aims At Sharp Practices.
Asked at a press conference
yesterday afternoon if a plan
would LAY the ghost of COM
pulsory health Insurance." Mrs.
Hobby replied:
II think it can"
She also indicated it might
give the Government a chance
to clean up f1y-by-night insur-
ance plans which promise their
members full care and then
weasel out through tricky legal
Technology. Under the Smith
bill, the Secretary would have
broad powers to make compan-
les seeking Federal aid to con-
form to the standards she es-
tablishes.
The reinsurance idea will
bring the Government into the
picture as an equal partner with
private firms thereby enabling
the latter to extend coverage to
more people and broader geo.
graphic areas. 1t eventually will
have the effect of lowering prem
ium rates, Mrs. Hobby predicted.
81 Million Insured.
An aide to the Secretary
pointed out that in 1852, 90
million Americans had some
form of health insurance while
60 million did not. OF a total of
S94 billion in medical expenses
for all American families in 1852.
SIT billion, or Is per cent. was
paid by health insurance plans.
Mrs. Hobby says she has mo
knowledge" concerning possible
opposition to the plan by the
American Medical Association.

Beef Feeder Market
Demands Are Strong

Higher prices for finished beef
during 1854 mean stronger feeder
cattle demands this fall in Arizona.
This increase in the market price
of finished beef has been more than
was expected last year, explains
Thomas Stubblfield, extension eco
nomist at the University of Ari-
zona. Cattlemen throughout the
state can expect little change in
the local supply Of feeder cattle.
Cost of the feeder-stockers offered
this fall should range in grade
from US. Good to us. Choice.
Fall prices for steer stocker
calves will probably center between
S18 and $40 per cwt. Heifers should
ran between one and two dollars
lower. Yearling feeder prices will
be about the same as stocker
calves.
Hay is expected to be short on
local markets this fall and winter.
So, cattle feeders will have to i'm
port large portion of their rough
age unless they raise it themselves.
Hay prices will be higher than they
were a year ago. Less cottonseed
cake and meal is available this fall,
but the price should remain about
the same as it was last year. In
some sections of the state, grain
will have to be brought in.
So, feeders should try to finish
their cattle quickly. The faster
cattle are finished this year, the
more profit you can expect.
