Washington Senators
Since / could not under

repeating. The washington
Senators are receiving some
adverse publicity from most
all OF the organizations in
washington. They are being
threatened with official boy
colts by the NA.AC.P. and
Unions etc, for not employ
ing colored American players.
/ would like to take issue with
these potential boycotters Of
the Senator's. The Washing
ton team has employed many
colored CubanS and have col
ored ground keepers. vendors

say the same thing because

concerned, what are Valdiviel-

fair persecution of a team that
is making an effort to have
colored players. Calvin Grit

HIGHLIGHTS-Here are the
highlights Of the administra-
tons plan:
!. The voluntary progran
would provide both basic health
insurance and major medical
health insurance. Federal work
.ers as well as District govern
ment employees and legislative
and judicial workers would be
eligible to participate, as we'll as
the wives and husbands ano
children under 81.
2. The Government would con-
tribute approximately one-thirc
of the cost of the basic insurance
and one-third Of the cost of the
major medical, with the employe
in each case paying the balance
through payroll deductions. The
married employees basic and ma
jor policies would cover them
selves and the members of Their
family.
3. Generally. the Government
would contribute one-third of the
cost of the basic insurance plan
selected up to a yearly maxi
mum Of $l3 for an unmarried
employe and $50 for married
employees. What the employees
two-thirds contribution would
amount TO depends on the type
of coverage they select and the
rate in their particular commu-
nifty.
In the Washington area the
cost of a basic disqualification
and surgery policy for a married
employee. with 70 days of hos
pitaliZation, would be Slit. the
csc said. This would mean that
the actual cost to the employe
would be $78 ttwo-thirds of the
cost. with the Government con.
tributing the other one-third.
4. For the major medical in.
surance the Government woulc
pay a fiat one-third of the cost
1925 a year for single EN-.
ployes and $9.75 annually fol
married workers. The premium.
paid by the employees for major
medical insurance would amount
to $3.50 year for married one:
and $3.50 annually for single
workers.

surance policy also would var,
according to an employees pref
erence as to the scope of tn,
insurance protection he wants
The major health insurance pol.
icy would be uniform and prob.
ably underwritten by severa,
companies.
6. The program is designed to
give employees financial pro-
lection against the normal costs
of disqualification and surgical
operation (the basic plan). as
well as the heavier costs of ser,-
Gus or prolonged illness.
The major medical insurance
would supplement the basic
health insurance by providing
financial assistance at about
where the employees basic cover
age would leave of. The major
medical insurance would place
primary emphasis on payment
for physicians. private nurses
and drugs and medicines-med-
ical goods and services which
most basic health insurance
plans have not found it feasible
to cover adequately.
7. The major medical insur-
ance would pay rs per cent OF
such covered costs up to a cal
endar year maximum of $4,000
and a lifetime maximum Of $40
900 for an employe and each Of
his dependents. Under certain
conditions, the maximums could
be reinstated after some part of
them had been paid in benefits.
8. Major medical would pay:
A. Seventy-f1ve per cent OF
the covered hospital expenses
after excluding those incurred
in the first 70 days of hos
pitalization. 1t is anticipated
that basic health plans which
now offer less than 70 days of
disqualification will very short
ly increase their number-of-
days benefits TO 10 at only a
