Thruway toll hike called high
Albany AP State Comptroller Arthur Levitt said auditors found the Thruway Authority needs about 11 percent, not 15 percent, due to high expense estimates. They noted revenue rises 7 percent 1970-74 versus 33 percent cost increases, and warned the 15 percent plan would overstate needs and depress traffic. The authority, to decide by end of June, holds final say.

NYC doctors plan slowdown over malpractice law
New York area doctors threaten a widespread slowdown starting tomorrow to protest the state malpractice insurance law. The action varies by area with some doctors pausing private practice and others avoiding elective hospital emergency care while emergencies are covered. Brooklyn leads with a strong, organized minority planning to curtail private work and refuse elective surgery, while Manhattan and Queens show less impact. Hospitals plan emergency coverage. Nassau and Suffolk counties mobilize emergency care as Nassau reports 80 percent of its 2400 doctors may stop practicing after June 30. (Concluded on Page Three).
