Savings Seen In No Fault Car Insurance
An Annapolis report notes Melvin L. Stark of the American Insurance Association tells a Legislative Council committee that Maryland could cut auto insurance rates up to 45 percent under a no fault plan. He argues liability rates could drop 25 percent with a law mandating no fault liability and personal injury coverage, reimbursing claimants from their own insurer and banning lawsuits. The plan excludes pain and suffering, shifts costs away from trials, and envisions unlimited rehabilitation for severe injuries with up to $750 monthly wage loss coverage.

Solons Urge Pakistan Aid Out and Israel Boost

The panel, near completion of Nixon's $3.5 billion foreign aid plan, postponed final action until next week. It also reduced total military aid to other nations from $705 million to $565 million after failed efforts to shrink the program further.
