given employees only until to-
morrow to select a health in
surance plan.
csc officials say this is IL
legal and that the csc will
protect the employees rights.
The new health insurance
law becomes effective July /.
In enacting the law, Congress
specifically gave employees the
entire month of June in which
to enroll. Enrolment starts
June /.
This was deemed necessary
because of the many competing
health insurance plans being
offered.
For example, in the Wash
ington area. employees have a
choice of four different plans
the indemnity (Aetna), service
benefits blue Cross-Blue
Shield, the comprehensive
plan Group Health Associa-
tom and the American Fed
Grafton of Government EN-
ployes plan. In order to come
under the AFGE plan, en-
ployes must be members of the
union or join it before July /.
When The Star called en-
ployes' complaints to the atten-
ton of District Government
officials. they acknowledged
that the premature deadline
would have deprived employees
of their rights to enroll up to
and including June 80. A new
memo stressing this right will
be distributed to employees to-
morrow, District officials said.
The early target date in June
was suggested in order to help
the District solve its payroll
system problems in connection
with the new health program
as soon as possible, they said.
Actually. the District Gov
ernment jumped the gun last
week in distributing to each
employe three of the four Civil
Service Commission brochures
describing the competing health
plans in the Washington area.
The AFGE brochure will be dis
tributed this week to AFGE
members and to all non-mem-
bers who request it.
The csc had suggested that
the various brochures not be
distributed until this week.

The Atomic Energy Commits
sion will seek Supreme Court
decision on the fate of the En-
rico Fermi atomic power plant
near Detroit.
Decision to take the case to
the high court came after the
United States Court of Appeals
here denied an Acc petition for
review Of a June 10 decision
which halted work on the plant.
The commission announced
yesterday it would ask the JUS
tice Department to prepare the
way for Supreme Court near
ing.
The appellate court action
specifically set aside a provi-
sional construction permit
granted by the Acc to the
Power Reactor Development
Corp, Inc, of Detroit. The cor
pOraClon was the builder OF the
Fermi fast breeder" reactor
plant for utility group headed
by Detroit Edison.
The United Auto Workers
union spearheaded efforts to
have work stopped on the Fermi
plant.
The union contended that the
safe operation of the atomic
reactor which would produce
Fermi's power had not been
adequately proved. The Court
of Appeals decision had the
effect of upholding the unions
contention.
The Fermi plant, situated
about 40 miles south of Detroit
at the town of Lagoona Beach,
Mich. would attack the problem
of atomic power generation in
a novel way, creating a new

Air Insurance Limit
Lowered at National

Under the plan, the air trav-
eler seeking insurance would
receive a top-limit policy If
purchased over the counter,
stating that any insurance
above that amount bought at
the airport would be invalid.
Policies held by the traveller
through a broker and purchased
elsewhere would be valid.
Signs over insurance. selling
slot machines also would ad-
wise of the top limit.
At present, the top amount
of insurance available through
machines is $4,000. but by 60
ing to different machines and
counters, the traveller may buy
almost a half million dollars
worth.
The FAA plan for National
which would apply to Dulles
International Airport when it
opens-would set a fiat price on

would let the insurance COM

Democracy An Aid
The material advances, as
represented by housing, for
example, are Of a practical
demonstration of the effec-
tiveness of the democratic
free-enterprise system.
I recognize that this sys-
tenn has defects. But I am
convinced that the cure is not
less of free enterprise, but
more Of 1t.
This statement is likely to
be challenged in countries
where there is not enough of
private capital to go around.
In such cases, state control
of the means Of production is
stressed. But, to me, state
control kills the personal
touch, the individual initia-
tive, that is needed to make
life really interesting and
challenging, and remove
drabness from it.
Forgive me for stating my
conclusions in advance, and
for sermonizing. Now I will
try to explain the things I
