22 THE MORNING HERALD, HAGERSTOWN, MD Fridty, Ftbruiry 73, 1MI Annapolis Outcry Singiiig-50 Want Judge Impeached ANNAPOLIS (AP) Some 50 demonstrators converged on the state house today to demand! the impeachment of Judge William Bowie of Prince Georges County Circuit Court. Bowie has been accused of nuking remarks from the bench slurring the Negro race. The demonslrators first chanted and sang in front of the Shaw House, headquarters for the Prince Georges County delegation to the Maryland General Assembly. Then they moved to the rotunda of the Stats House for a rally as state police assigned to the legislature, cii.y patrolmen and state house security guards watchec nervously. From Ihere, the demonstrators, nearly all Negroes, began parading in front of the Shaw House again.

Gov. Spiro T. Agnew has deplored Judge Bowie's remarks, but said he could not become involved in the controversy because of the constitutional separation of executive and judicial branches of government. Md. Auto Insurance 'Fund On Way Out? ANNAPOLIS (AP) Newton I.

Steers, state insurance commissioner, supported Thursday a plan which would virtually wipe out the need for Maryland's rare fund to protect against damages caused by uninsured aiitos. He backed a law which would require all insurance companies to offer in their policies coverage against loss or injury caused by a car without insurance. The policy buyer could refuse to take the added protection, but Garage Fire Blamed On 3-Year-Old Fire in a basement garage brought three tire trucks to a house at 131 Medway Rd. Robert J. Noll, the owner, told firemen his three-year-old son was playing in the basement when the fire broke out.

Fire officials said later the bov apparantly set fire to a pile of papers with a cigarette Damage was confined to the garage wall and ceiling. Wood a television set and carpeting in the adjoining recreation room were scorched. Answering the call were members of the First Hose and Junior Fire Companies and Pioneer Hook and Ladder Co.

An identical award went to the editor of the regional his torv magazine, a Whipp. rprpivpd Georee he did he could not try to collect from the stale fund.

In either event, Steers ant others estimated that two-thirds of the claims against the func would be eliminated. "This is an effort to scuttle he unsalisfied claim and judgment fund," proteslcd Herbar rfatz, Baltimore lawyer, before hfi Senate Economic Affairs Committee. He claimed that Steers hac )ocn and that the proposed added insurance coverage was a "snare and delusion." He conlended lhat policy holders would have difficulty col- ecting settlement because oi ight restrictions in the policy. Steers said the protection against uninsured motorists costs about $5 or $6 more a year. The state fund is supported )y insurance companies which pay a percentage of premiums and $35 charged each car owner who does not have insurance.

New Jersey has the only other similar plan in the nation. At the same hearing, Steers asked to be given a free hanr in regulating rates on life insurance covering debts. 'The gougers should be required to cut rates," he testified. The companies writing credil ife insurance have agreed to le regulated by the state, but vant some floor below which he rales could not be fixed. The popular charge without late regulation is $1 per $100 nsurance.

Steers engaged in debate with ens. Frederick C.
