shaking A Profit Out Of
Illness

The Blue Cross announcement Of intention to
cancel coverage all subscribers having other
sickness insurance raises a great many interesting
questions.
First of all is the point that evidently Blue
Cross being outside and beyond the control of any
regulatory agency of the state, evidently has the
power to make a unilateral decision adversely af-
fecting-by its own estimate-1OOO 900 to IL 900 Min
nesota citizens 1t has long been argued that Blue
Cross should be subject to Insurance Department
regulation. This action seems to cinch the argu-
ment
Second is the point that the action seems to be
aimed directly at competition by other companies
particularly those having group contracts with en-
ployers and unions welfare funds. Under the
contracts between Blue Cross and the hospitals
Blue Cross is a favored company. There has long
been the suspicion-and some hospital admins
traitors have complained-that Blue Cross pays less
for services than the patient paying cash or using
other insurance coverage Is this a new move to
cut out the competition? If So should not the state
be interested in certain monopoly characteristics OF
the Blue Cross operation?
Third is the Blue Cross concept that patients
having auxiliary policies make profit when they
are sick" That is their insurance benefits exceed
the cost Of disqualification This is brutal approach
to the problem Of illness The other costs-the loss
ing convalescence the cost of special arrangements
at home, don't count in the Blue Cross concept
While many commercial insurance companies are
devoting much study to ways for providing compre-
hensive protection against the total cost of illness
our non-profit Blue Cross is striking out in the
opposite direction
Finally comes the astonishing observation that
persons having multiple beverages enter the hos
pital 20 per cent more frequently and stay 10 PEI
cent longer-the implication being that they do SC
in order to make profit out Of their hospital
stays This implication is a remarkable accusation
against the medical profession and the hospitals
who determine who shall be hospitalized and when
they shall be discharged.
Richard Crist, Blue Cross president who made
the announcement, seems to be saying that the hos
pitfalls and doctors are in league with insurance
pohcy-holders who seek to gain financially by mis-.
using their policies. If there is such thing going

Salvaging UHF TelevisiOn

The move of the Federal Communications Com
mission to require that all new teevision sets have
achannel tuners recalls bit Of history and illus
trates forcefully how expensive it can be for the
public to relax its vigilance.
An all-channel tuner is which will bring in
television broadcasts in the ultra-hgh frequency
band and the very-high frequency band. Standard
sets today will bring in band the other, but
not both. Most Of them will bring in only Wifi,
which means that the UHF stations are finding
meager audiences and slim piclungs
1t also means that the public is getting short
changed to the extent that available channels are
thus limited, to large extent, to the WIFI band.
This happened because the FEC was dominated
during the days when crucial decisions were made
by commissioners sympathetic to the viewpoint of
the big networks.
At that time, the Commission could have met
the problem of expanding the available channels by
the simple expedient of concentrating UIF licenses
in community, Wifi in the next. This would
have forced UFIF receivers in the one community
Wifi in the next and all-channe sets in those homes
which wanted to tune into both
The alternative to license both WIFI and
UHF in all communities, let the UEIF licensees
worry about the fact that people could not tune in
on their stations, and give the big Wifi licensees a
very rich plum indeed.
The commission chose to side against the public
and in favor of the big telecasters One result has
been high mortality among UHF licensees For
practical purposes, the old commission washed this
important UHF band Of communication down the
drain
There is new spirit in the commission today
The commissioners recognize the U1F band for the
important and valuable asset that it is Their sou-

Focus On
Africa
BY EDDIE L. MADISON, JR.

Reports of alleged plots to
assasSinate Afric a n leaders,
overthrow the regimes in pow
er, bombings or bomb threats
continued 10 attract great at
tention in Africa, with a new
independent state, Somalia, en-
tering the picture.
Already, a series Of bombings
have hit Ghana, including one ac-
tual attempt on the life Of Presi-
dent Kwame Nkrumah. And, in Nj
geria, a plot to destroy principal
government buildings and kill sew
eral top government officials was
uncovered
In the case of Somalia, that gov
ernment's ministry of information
had charged Ethiopia of compiled
ty in a plot to assassinate Alden
Abdullahi Osman, President of the
Somali Republic, on a proposed
visit to northern Somalia. Accord
ing to the charges, the Ethiopian
Government had organized a plot
to assassinate the SomaH President
on a visit which he was to make
to Hargeissa in the near future.
1t was stated that several in
dividuals, armed with grenades
and inflammatory pamphlets, sup
posedly supplied to them by the
Ethiopian Government, have been
arrested
The ministry Of information of
the Imperial Ethiopian Govern
ment, in an official news release,
denied the charges. 1t stated: THE
Imperial Ethiopian Government
repeats its earlier categorical den
ial of these charges and brands
them as utterly false, baseless and
without foundation" The state
ment further challenged the SOM
ALA Government to produce 1.-THE
evidence which substantiates its
charges" None exists, for the
simple reason that there has never
been any plot involving the Repub-
lie of Somalia with which Ethiopia
has been even remotely connected"
stated the release
David A. Talbot, AMP cores
pondent in Adds Ababa, reported
a charge by Ethiopia that those
who have followed the develop
ment of relations between Ethiopia
and the Republic of Somalia could
easily see that this is an attempt
to continue a systematic and de-
liberate program to create mis-
understandings, inflame passions
and whip up hatred between the
peoples Of the two African count
ries.
This was a reference to the still
unsettled border dispute between
Ethiopia and SomaHa. Emperor

ial is representative Of all food items this would
indicate that you feed your family for about
2S% less in the Twin Cities than in typical eastern
cities. Milk is not included in the Margolius survey.
For the families who give milk the place it deserves
in the food budget, the dfferental is probably
greater in view Of the enormous difference in milk
prices between here and the east.
In addition you have to add two or three per
cent to eastern prices to the sales tax which
prevails in most parts of the east-the tax gimmick
by which the major burden Of the cost of govern
ment is shifted from the well-to-do to the most
deprived of citizens. This suggests that fam
lily food budget is nearly third less than it would
be in the east.
