LEGISLATION ON

GROUP HEALTH|

orton Urged to Delay||

Matter Until Next Gen- ~ eral Assembly.

The Hospital Insurance Committee, appointed recently by Governor M. Clifford Townsend to work out a group health plan for Indiana, today recommended that “any action on this problem be delayed until the next Legislature.”

. The . Governor had asked the Committee to determine if a not- - for-prafit hospital insurance agency «could be established under existing laws after the hospital bill, passed by the last Legislature, was declared unconstitutional and killed by pocket veto.

-- The Committee, in its report to the Governor, recommended that efforts be made at the next LegisJature in 1941. “to pass another bill permitting formation of non-profit hospital insurance plans similar to «he bill introduced in the last ‘Legislature.”

Spurn “Stop-Hop” Plan

- “We do not recommend-an at- * tempt to secure’'a-declaratory judg- . ment in orderyto form a non-profit hospital insurance plan: because we believe that it would throw the field open to uncontrolled groups.” Committee members said they decided not to accept any “stopgap” plan for operations now because they understood that a niodi= fied version of the Wagner Health Bill with some provisions for health «insurance probably would be prepared for Congressional action next year. > Dr. Verne K. Harvey, State “Health Director and secretary of the committee, said “any Indiana hospital or health insurance: program should not conflict with national legislation and it was felt by the committee that it should defer the actual setting up of an Indiana -plan until Congress meets.” ~ Among plans discussed for health insurance under existing laws was one involving the purchase of an old insurance charter and operating an agency under it.

Dislike Charter Purchase

. Regarding that plan the Commit- . tee stated: =. “We do not recommend formation ‘of any insurance company by securing an old charter because we .believe it would have the same disadvantages that are inherent in the .present insurance confracts and ‘therefore recommend that until such time as legislation can be enacted, that already established insurance companies continue to fur+nish coverage. for these risks.” - The Committee recommended that the Attorney. General be consulted before a bill is presented to the next Legislature “in order that its consti--tutionality will not again be ques“tioned. »

100 ESCAPE BLAST

AS ‘BOMB! IS FOUND =.

CHICAGO, Aug. 22 (U. P.)—Approximately 100 tenants of a South Side apartment building were saved “by seconds from death or injury to“day when firemen discovered in the _basement an incen layout and timing fuse which if ignited, they . said, “would have blown the entire . building a block.” © “It was the worst incendiary torch :I have seen in 35 years in the de- - partment,” Fire Marshal Thomas Gaffney said. “It was an act of God that it was discovered in time. If « it had been ignited every one in the : building would have been trapped : and killed.” Ht praised Mrs. M. G. Rice, a tenant, for alertness in summoning a janitor and policeman when she detected a gas odor in her apart- . + ment. ! The odor was traced to a tavern on the south side of the builgjng and : firemen were summoned. s Gafi‘ney and his men arrived, they saw ‘two men climb out of a rear basement window and run down an alley. The men escaped. The firemen broke into the tavern and found the ‘ incendiary layout. + A co-owner of the tavern and a : porter were taken to a district police ; station for questioning. * FALL UNDER TRAIN FATAL - RICHMOND, Ind., Aug. 22 (U.

Public Service Commission had rejected a contract of purchase between the City and the owners. The 1933 ‘Act, he added, provides that when 5 per cent or more of the voters petition the Council, it may hold a special election on whether or not to buy a utility, but there is no provision for the public to vote on the price to be paid. Neither the 1921 nor the 1933 Acts authorize the purchase of stock of the company owning the utility, as does the 1939 Act, he said.
