Insurance rate hikes board chairman maintains stance in Texas
State Insurance Board Chairman Hugh Yantis urged delaying any homeowner rate increase after last week's public hearings. He argued rates are high enough, insurers profit from higher insured values, and most policies already run about 15 percent below board-set rates. J Sam Winters of Austin countered that 15 percent reductions were board approved to foster competition.

Carter proposes reshuffle of LEAA funds and anti crime focus
President Carter announced a reshuffle of the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration saying the agency suffered from uncoordinated and ineffective performance. He kept the budget authorization intact, eyed possible increases for high crime areas, and shifted over 200 million to improve about 60 public housing projects. A Bureau of Justice Statistics idea could move crime data from the FBI, while LEAA funds would be barred for police salary increases and most hardware.
