Blue Cross
Asks Increase
In Virginia

RICHMOND. Va. Jan. % up.
The Virginia Hospital Service
Association blue Cross and
the Virginia Medical Service
Association CBlue Shield) to-
day asked the State Corpora
ton Commission for rate
increases ranging from 50 to
40 per cent for certain hospital
and medical-surgical plans.
About 100000 Virginians
would be affected by a rate
increase. The two organiza-
tons also proposed changes in
the health coverage they said
would make the plans more
valuable.
A key provision would permit
members in the plan to sub
scribe also TO a $50 deductible
Endorsement that would reduce
rates below those now in effect.

The associations last asked
for rate increases in 1854. This
is the sixth request for a Blue
Cross increase since l947 and
the second for Blue Shield
since 1851.
In 1854. the original request
for increases was dismissed
without prejudice by the sec.
The petitions then came back
with new requests that includ-
ed higher Blue Cross rates
than originally proposed and
some adjustments in Blue
Shield rates. After a series Of

GLIDING Mrs. Woodrow Wilson,
an old Standard J-l biplane,
set to fly the 40th anniversary
commemorative air mail flight
to New York, relived its part
faithfully.
Its balky Hispano Suiza en-
gine refused to start. Finally,
its engine sputtering gamely,
the plane got off the ground at
1l:10 am.
Flanked by two huge COM
mercial DC-7s on the parking
ramp at National Airport, the
old airplane was a strange
apparation indeed.
Its pilot for the New York
flight, Leon D. Smith, of Pine
City. N. Y, stood by fidgeting.
Mr.. Smith admits to only 81
years, but he hastily adds he
has been flying As years. His
last air mail flight was from
Belmont Park, N. Y, to College
Park, Md.
Forty years ago today a SIM
liar type aircraft took off from
the old polo field on West Poto-
mac Park with mail for New
York, 1t marked the Govern
ment's first step in getting mail
off the ground.
However, private ventures
had been flying the mail on a
minor scale for at least five
years prior to May Is, 1918.
The ceremonies at National
Airport launched a day mark
ing the 40th anniversary. At
West Potomac Park a marker
was unveiled commemorating
the first flight from that area.
At least 400 members of the
Air Mail Pioneers were in town
to celebrate the occasion. To-
night they will have their COM
