INSURANCE

5000 Policies Here

OF profit. They say it takes at
least three years for rates to
catch up with higher claims
and higher court judgments.
Item: About 300 firms are
licensed to sell insurance in the
Metropolitan Area, but some
servicemen and some perma-
nent residents still buy worth
less policies from out-of-the-
area mail order houses.
Some of these houses are
legitimate, but are not licensed
with local insurance commits
sioners or have failed to file
proper papers with local motor
vehicle authorities. Because Of
this, their policies are not con-
sidered proof of financial re-
sponsibility under local laws.
Other policies" are the
work of swindlers. One of these
fast-talking statesmen still has
District officials shaking their
heads. In 1858 the salesman
sold an estimated 5000 policies
in an non-existent insurance
company - and then skipped
town.
Item: Laws on the books in
Maryland. Virginia, and the
District are designed to protect
citizens from the uninsured
driver. In effect they tend to
spur motorists into carrying
auto insurance.
They make even a penniless
uninsured driver financially re-
sponsible If he causes an ac-
cident. The laws do this by
helping insurance companies
provide adequate protection
against uninsured drivers, or by
setting up State funds to pay
claims against the uninsured
driver.
Judgment Fund Urged
Item: District officials are
now preparing to submit a bill
to Congress that would create
an uninsured motorists judg-
ment fund similar in some re-
spects to a fund operating in
Maryland. This bill, presently
being cleared by the Bureau of
the Budget, will tighten even
further the screws on uninsured
driving in this area.
District traffic officials said
the new law is necessary be-
cause, of the $4,000 passenger
cars registered in the District,
1S out of every 100 are unin-
sured.
They recite a long list of
statistics to prove their case.
They say that 39,418 cars were
involved in 20,375 accidents on
District streets in 1860. Some
5000 of these accidents in
volved personal injuries, and 10
per cent Of the cars involved
were uninsured.
To the local driver, comfort
ably insured and with a clean
traffic record, the only part of
the insurance circle that may
seem important is the increased
rates, and how to get them
down. But the driver is in
volved in the rate-making proc
ess himself since premiums
are based on his traffic record
and that of his next-door
neighbor.
Then again, he may have his
policy Cancelled, like the Mont
gomery County man, and find
himself right in the middle of
the insurance squeeze.

Pounded On Door

FOuuucu On DOOr
Jose Rodriguez, 35, who lives
next door, said he rushed to
the front door Of his neighbor's
home when he saw smoke. He
told police he rang the bell,
shouted and pounded on the
door but heard no reply.
Meanwhile, his 10-year-old
daughter Dolores called the
Fire Department and was re-
porting the fire when her
father rushed in, took the phone
from her and gave firemen di-
rections on how to reach the
location.
This is the text of the con-
versation recorded by the fire
department as it received the
first report of the fire:
Dispatcher (John A. Sis,
chief OPERATOR: Fire depart
ment."
Dolores Rodriguez: "Uh, uh,
there's a fire at 3427 Oakwood
terrace and smoke is coming
out of the house :. :"
Dispatcher: ."3427 Oakwood
terrace, what section of the city
is that?"
Dolores: "Uh, uh, just a min
ute, my father wants to talk to
you"
Her fathers excited voice:
There's a house on fire at 3247
Oakwood terrace :"
Dispatcher: "Is that South
east?"
Mr.. Rodriguez: "No, no, no,
that's Northwest, right beside
the Woodner Hotel"
Dispatcher: "1s that a pri-
vate home?"
Mr.. Rodriguez: Eyes, I called
over there but there's nobody at
home"
Dispatcher: OK, we'll take
care of it right away"
Full Equipment Dispatched
Mr.. Sis, a fire department
dispatcher for many years, said
that on the basis of the two
excited voices over the tele-
phone, he sent a full compile
ment of equipment to the scene,
rather than the usual engine
company that would ordinarily
respond for a local alarm.
Mrs. Luna. who is expecting |

sidewalk crying Historically |
when she arrived at the scene.
Her husband arrived shortly |
afterward.

dents or were convicted of
serious traffic offenses, or
failed to pay their premiums.
But some policyholders were
frankly baffled by their can
collation..
Take, for example, a 58-year-
old Montgomery County con-
tract rural mail carrier who
talked to The Star outside the
office of an insurance company
specializing in poor risks.
He said he had his last traf-
fic accident-a minor one-in
1855, and that he had a clean
traffic record. He had applied
to the poor-risk firm because
he couldn't afford to pay a
years premium in advance to
get into a poor-risk pool op-
Grated by one Of the standard
insurance companies.
He had just been told by the
salesman at the poor-risk firm
that his liability insurance
would cost him LOG per cent
more than the standard rate.
II used to pay $50 for my
liability insurance" he said.
Nov my company has can
celed. and these people tell me
I have to pay $165 for the same
coverage. This is preposter-
ous!"
1t may have seemed pre-
posterouS to him, but it was
entirely legal.
And. despite his complaints,
this man realized that present
laws and present traffic con-
ditions make it financially
dangerous to drive without IN
surance. He was grudgingly
willing to pay the price.
Others may not know or care
about the dangers of driving
on congested streets without
insurance. They can become
entangled in a squeeze which
can lead to loss of the privilege
to drive, and to a lifetime of
paying damage costs.
But no matter how dramatic
this problem of policy cancel
lation has become under pres
ent laws, it is only a small arc
in the auto insurance spiral.
The spiral revolves some
thing like this:
The more cars on the road,
the greater number of acci-
dents. The greater the number
OF accidents. the higher the
premium rates. Higher rates
tend to encourage some drivers
to initiate damage claims, for
some juries to give accident
victims higher judgments, and
for governments to protect the
public against uninsured driv-
ers-all of which leads to even
higher rates.
Problems Here Cited
Auto insurance companies
and drivers in the Washington
area are caught in this spiral
Just as their counterparts in
other parts of the country. But
they have a few exclusive prob
lens of their own:
Item: A few companies have
decided that certain sections
of the District are compare
lively bad-risk neighborhoods.
and are quietly and subtly de-
clining to write some types of
comprehensive (fire, theft,
VanuanSm) and even liability
insurance in these areas.
Some firms will write COM
prehensive policies which re-
quire the policyholder to pay
the first $50 or $100 of a claim.
But at least one large firm ad-
mitS privately that it is steer
ing away from writing any La
bility insurance in Northeast
Washington.
Item: Even though basic La
bility rates for safe car drivers
in the District have increased
as much as los per cent under
some plans. insurance people
say their firms are having diff
ficulty maintaining a margin

ministers meeting in Oslo next

the military committee of
NATO meets in the State De-
partment's new international

Last December the Eisenhow-
er administration suggested the
United States might provide
NATO with an independent
nuclear force under multi-lat-
eral control, presumably fea-
turing a submarine force
equipped with nuclear-tipped
Polaris missiles as well as
ground-based nuclear rockets
The British were reported COO
to the suggestion and France
has made it clear she intends
to go ahead with her own nu-
clear development.
The British government has
made no decision on how to
proceed in equipping NATO
with the separate nuclear de-
terrent, nor has it expressed
any clear idea yet how much of
its own nuclear strength might
be contributed to the NATO
pool.
Speech is Cited
Prime Minister Macmillan
stated the problem of duplica-
ton of deterrents in general
terms Friday night in his
speech at the Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology.
an effective deterrent
should not be wasteful. OF
course in recent years the rel
ative advantage of the West
has been greatly diminished
either in weapons or in means
of delivery. All the same it
is almost as important not to
try to be too strong. Since
unity is as important as Sc
curity we must try to share the
burden more efficiently. Surely
1t is illogical that our teams
of military planners, scientists
and technicians should waste
any of their efforts duplicating
work and porjects."
The United States is pro-
hibited by law from sharing
control Of nuclear weapons with
other countries. Whether the
Kennedy administration plans
a new move to get a change
in the law or whether Britain
will become the principal sup
plier Of nuclear arms for the
independent NATO force was
not clear.
In the White House talks
President Kennedy is believed
to have stressed the need tor
strengthening conv entional
forces of NATO. Britain is
not eager to increase it's troop
contribution to NATO, how
ever, for economic reasons.

Charlie Sifford
Breaks Race
Barrier In Golf
By Brad Pye, Jr.


Los Angeles (ANP) - Another
racial barrier came tumbling down
Wednesday (Feb. ~ when Charlie
Sifford teed off in the $100,0 900
Palm Springs Golf Classic.
This was another first for a Ne
gro.
A large share Of the credit for
this forward step should go to the
Classics 1861 president, Leonard
K. Firestone, Of the famous Fire
stone family and l. A. Angels
stakeholder.
This writer contacted Firestone
last week and asked him If Sifford,
the nations leading Negro golfer,
who tied for sixth place IN the
Lucky International in San Fran
cisco over the weekend, would be
invited to his tourney.
Firestone assured this writer
that if Sifford's name was sub
mitted to the Classic he would def
initely be invited to play.
Upon accepting the presidency
of the Palm Springs Classic, Fire
stone told this reporter, that he in
formed the organization that he
didn't want to be connected with
the Classic If Negroes were barred
as participants.
Two weeks ago, Sifford and
Harry Mills became the first Ne
groes to play in Bing Crosby's
Pro-Am tourney thanks to the
crusading efforts. Of Maggie Hath
away, California Eagle golf col
umlist.
When told by Sifford, that he
had been invited to play in all Of
the other major tournaments In
California and Arizona except the
Palm Springs Classic this reporter
contacted Firestone and he in turn
made a number of calls and paved
the way for this historic first.
Sifford had a II hole total of
27S in the Lucky International. He
fired a IS to tie for first place in
the opening round with George
Bayer of South Pasadena. Sifford
followed his 65 up with rounds of
70-74 and SO.
For his effort Charlie Picked up
a $1,175 prize. This is believed to
be the largest purse Of his career.
Sifford won 5000 in the recent
LAX. Open. Charlie participated
in a total of % PEA tournaments
in 1860 and he seems certain to
break that record this year.
