Membership optional
The task force stressed that
there should be no union or
closed shop in Government and
that employees should have the
right to join or not to join a
union. In other words, even in
cases of exclusive recognition.
an employe would not have to
join a union to hold his job.
Furthermore, individual en-
ployes may have their griev-
ances presented to their agen-
cies without going through a
union.
No agency will deal with
unions advocating the right to
strike. the overthrow of the
Government or practicing rae
ial discrimination. No dealings
will be allowed with unions
guilty Of corrupt practices.
Neither will recognition be
given to Communist-domi-
mated or othe subversive
groups.

should guide such efforts. Our
proposals, then, are as follows:
A. The Federal Employee,
Right to Organize.
I Federal employees have the
right to join bona fide en-
ploye organizations. This right
encompasses the right to re-
frain from joining. Wherever
any considerable number of en-
ployes have organized for the
purpose of collective dealing
the attitude Of the Government
should be that Of an affirma- =
tive willingness to enter such
relations.
b. Forms Of Recognition.
Bona fide organizations. of
Federal employees which are free
of restrictions or practices deny
ing membership because of race,
color. creed or national origin,
which are free Of all corrupt
influences. and do not assert
the right to strike or advocate
the overthrow of the Govern
ment of the United States
should be recognized by Gov
ernment agencies.
Organizations Of Federal en-
ployes should be granted rec
ognition essentially according
to the extent to which they rep
resent employees in a particular
unit or activity of a Govern
ment agency. This recognition
may be informal, formal or ex-
elusive.
l. Informal Recognition.
Informal recognition gives
an organization the right to
be heard on matters Of in
terest to its members. but
places an agency under no
obligation to seek its views.
Informal recognition will be
granted to any organization.
regardless of what status may
have been extended to any
other organization.
2. Formal Recognition.
Formal recognition will be
granted to any organization
with 10 per cent of the en-
ployes in a unit or activity of
a government agency, where
no organization has been
granted exclusive recognition.
Formal recognition gives an
organization the right to be
consulted on matters Of inter-
est to its members.
3. Exclusive Recognition.
Exclusive recognition will be
granted to any organization
chosen by a majority of the
employees in an appropriate
unit. Exclusive recognition
gives an organization the right
to enter collective negotiations
with management officials
with the object of reaching an
agreement applicable to all
employees of the unit. Such
agreements must not conflict
with existing Federal laws or
regulations. or with agency
regulations, or with govern
mentwide personnel policies.
or with the authority of the
Congress over various per-
sonnel matters.
C. Veterans Organizations.
The recognition Of employe
organizations should not af-
feet the special relationship of
veterans organizations with
Government agencies.
D. Religious and Social Or
ganizatiOns.
The recognition of employe
organizations should not pre-
clude limited dealings with
employe groups formed for re-
ligious or social purposes.

cast little, if increase in

His prediction followed tenta-
tive adoption by the county
council of a budget of approx
mately $50 million-about 81
million less than requested.
The heaviest cuts, formally
approved by the council last
night, were made in school

ties estimated that councilmen

lion in school requests.

meanwhile, were contemplated

county budget. The largest
portion of that amount, Mr..

to finance street improvements

hoods, and planning for pro-
posed trash disposal facilities.
A hearing on the proposed
increases is scheduled at 8 pm.
tomorrow in the County Office
Building, Rockville.
Mr.. Butcher said the coun-

for any person injured or
killed in one accident, and
$4,000 property damage. This
is the minimum coverage ac-
cepted by the State as proof of
financial responsibility.
In Maryland, the assigned
risk policyholder will have to
pay Is per cent more thanithe
going rate in his class, and in
the District the cost is 35 per
cent above standard rates. The
standard rates in the District
begin at about $50 for safe
driver covered up to $4,000
for each person. $4,000 for
each accident, and $4,000 prop
erty damage. The 10-20-5 pol
icy is the minimum to prove
financial responsibility in the
District and Maryland.
But these policies can be is
sued only if the driver can pay
his yearly premium in advance.
If he can't he has to pay a visit
to the We'll insure any risk"
companies.
These firms have rates to fit
almost any driver, no matter
how bad his driving record is.
If they don't have rate class
for you, they'll custom-make
one; clear it with the insurance
commission, and issue policy.
Remember that the standard
lowest rate in the District for
a safe driver is about $50, and
compare it with the $165 for
the same coverage charged by
the substandard-riSk compa-
MES. A driver can be forced
into this category merely be-
cause he has been Cancelled by
a standard company and can
not afford to pay a years
to get into the
assigned-riSk plan.
Evening star., 1961-04-11

For example, 4,361 drivers
were issued policies under the
Districts assigned risk plan
during 1860 and 23,267 we're
issued under the Maryland
plan in the same period. Not
all these policies were issued
because of cancellation by
other companies, but the vast
majority were.
Another indication of the
volume of cancellations is the
amount of business done by the
four or five local firms spe-
cializing in poor risks. One of
the largest, AUS Insurance
Brokers, Inc. (Hersons), sold
about So million worth of new
policies in 1860.
Asked if he felt there has
been a decrease in the number
of cancellations by standard
companies. Jeanne Gill, man
ager of AUS, said, II don't
really know if the number of
cancellations is decreasing or
not. All I know is that they
keep us very much in business. "
Standard insurance COM
pany spokesmen don't deny
that cancellation is a major
problem. But they insist that
the cancellations are neces-
sary, and that the accident rec
ords of recently Cancelled
drivers prove it.
Companies NUS know what
they're doing when they can
cel," Miller o. Stout, deputy
District insurance commissioner,
said. Just look at the &C
cident and loss records made
by people in the assigned-risk
plans"
Mr.. Stout was referring to
the fact that the loss ratio

To buy the legally necessary
10-20-5 liability and property
damage insurance from one of
these firms man who has
been at fault in a recent acci-
dent without insurance, or who
has lost his license because of
traffic violation points, will
have to pay $172.
If his violations included
speeding or reckless driving,
the premium is $2O5, and it
jumps to $247 if drunken driv-
ing is among his offenses.
On top of the insurance, of
course, are the financing
charges. AUS, for example,
has a service charge of So a
payment for people buying a
yearly policy on any other
basis than the usual one third
down and the remainder with
in 80 days. This amounts to
$24 or IA per cent a year for
the many paying monthly in
Stallments on a $165 policy.
The substandard-r COM
panies also do a good volume
of business selling three month
and six-month policies. This
type of policy is widely used
by servicemen who are assigned
temporarily to the Washington
area.
All these rates and charges
are legal and have been cleared
with local insurance commits
sioners. They are legal be-
cause the companies can prove
they are projected from what
insurance men call experience"

group of policyholders has cost
the company in the past.

the amount of damages paid
as compared with the amount
of premiums collected-of the
assigned-risk plans is well
above the ratio of normal risk
groups.
Between 1853 and 1856, for
example, the loss ratio for the
Districts assigned-risk pool
was 102 per cent, meaning that
companies paid out in damages
more than they took in on
premiums. This can be COM
pared with the 81 per cent loss
ratio figured by companies
writing insurance on average
drivers in 1858. In that year
1l9. .464 auto insurance policies
brought in $5.5 million in
premiums in the District, and
$3.5 million was paid in dam
age claims.
Losses for assigned risks in
nearby States were even more
steep: 122 per cent for a seven
year period in Maryland, and
lis per cent for an eight-year
period in Virginia.
But the man who finds him
self a bad risk - whether
through cancellation or traffic
violation reasons-doesn't care
about loss ratios, he wants in
surance. Here's how he can
get it:
If he lives in Virginia, the
assigued-risk plan will cost him
so per cent more than he would
normally pay. The rates in
Virginia are lower than in other
parts of the area, starting at
$3.50 for State minimum la
bility and property damage, and
81 for insurance against unin-
sured drivers. These rates buy
liability insurance up to Sl5. 900

Inspects
New Ball Yard
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Failing to get in line in
time to get tickets for the
opening game, the Rambler
decided to be a season ahead.
So he took a taxi to the
new ball yard, the stadium
under construction in East
Capitol street just this side
of the AnacoStia.
He had been watching it's
construction for some time.
He was puzzled about the
undulationS of the ramps in
the concrete structure and
the thickness of the pillars.
Who would want to sit be-
hind them?
He realized when he made
his visit that his fears were
unfounded.
Many things about his
structure are controversial.
But one thing is for sure. No
one is going to be sitting be-
hind a post.
Fortunately he made his
visit on Friday. 1t was one
of the few days on which
dust has been a problem.
They have lost 26 working
days so far - that's five
weeks and one day - and
they usually have been above
their fetlockS in mud.
The sounds of compressed
air pumps for the pneumatic
tools, the motors for the
huge lifts, the glad ring of a
nail truly hit by a hand

of pitch and plaster and the
general feeling of emprise,

construction projects - big
ones - but none more excit-
