have something to say in his
inaugural address about q pro-
posed State fund to help COM

q report last week by the Vir-

fund" which would be sup
ported by an annual $40 levy on
uninsured automobile owners
plus an assessment on insur-
ance companies OF one-half Of
4 per cent Of their annual coll
lections OF premiums In Vir-
ginia.
The report also said the 1858
General Assembly should pass
a compulsory liability insur-
ance law If II rejects the unsat-
isfied judgment fund plan.
Insurance agents have come
out strongly against the coun-
cll's recommendations. They
contend it is "socialistic."
Mr.. Almond. without COM

poses compulsory insurance
and also Is firmly dedicated TO
the free enterprise system.
