U-M Feels Malpractice Rate Pinch ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -Medical malpractice insurance premiums at the University of Michigan will be JO times as expensive as in 1971-72, a university official said Friday. Wilbur K. Pierpont, vice president and chief financial officer, said U-M paid $237,000 for malpractice insurance five years ago. The new premium will be $2.5 million, Pierpont told the university regents.

Malpractice insurance is now between 4 and 5 per cent of the medical budget at the university, compared with 1 per cent four years ago, he said. A recent survey -of other hsopitals at Big Ten schools indicated the U-M medical malpractice premiums are comparable, Pierpont added.

flilPim: piiiiiiiH Market Soars On A-Fuel By CHET CURRIER AP Business Writer NEW YORK (AP) The stock market, bogged down in profit taking and economic un-certainty since early May, got rolling again this past week with a sharp and broadly based -rally. The chief catalysts for the upsurge were evidence of easing inflation, renewed hopes for an improving economy, and talk from the White House of giving private industry a place in the production of nuclear fuel. The Dow Jones average of 30 industrials climbed 30.97 to 855.44, moving within hailing distance of its 1975 closing high of 858.73 on May 14. Standard Poor's 500-stock index advanced 2.09 to 92.61, and the New York Stock Exchange composite index was up 1.20 to 49.39. Advances overpowered declines 1,234 to 55 among the 2,027 issues changing hands on the NYSE.

Big Board volume picked up speed, averaging 19.88 million shares a day compared with 18.46 million the week before. The strong showing came despite some shock effects early in the week from Du Pont's forecast that its second-quarter earnings would be sharply lower than they were in the comparable period last year. As of midday Wednesday, the Dow showed a negative reading for the week before it began to pick up some forward momentum When it did, brokers found several reasons perhaps the most intriguing of which was the word from the White House that the Ford administration was considering proposing a bill to put future nuclear fuel production facilities In the hands of the private sector. The government would reportedly retain control of three existing facilities for enriching uranium, if the plan were enacted. By Friday morning, there were at least two other factors working for the market the government's report that the rise of consumer prices slowed in May, and a Conference Board group's report suggest-ing that a marked economic recovery was in prospect for the next 18 months.

In all, 305 Big Board stocks hit new 1975 highs, against only If new lows. Prominent on the new-high list were electric utilities. Brokers cited several reasons for the strength in the group, but a number noted that it seemed to benefit particularly from the idea of the stimulus to nuclear power generation that private enrichment of uranium would most likely represent. Southern the Big Board volume leader, rose to Duke Power 1 to 16; Florida Power Light 2 to 25; American Electric Power to 20, and Virginia Electric Power 1 to Du Pont shares gained 4 to 123, recovering from a sharp but temporary setback on the company's earnings forecast early in the week.

POLICY OPTIONS Q. Why do financial advisors always tell widows to pot the life Insurance money Into securities? Why don't yon tell them to study their policy options first? A. I would assume that any life insurance company worth its salt would take time to advise the widow of income options are available before they turn over the check. POOR STOCK ANYWAY Q. Why did I nave to tan tat my shares of a radio stock at $9 when I paid $33.75 for it? I'm a senior citizen who had depended upon this stock.

A. You didn't have to tender your stock at price you paid, of course, now has absolutely no meaning. But I can't understand why you want to hold on either assuming you need income. Your stock is speculative and pays no dividend. MR.

(AP) The dehydrated bodies of what officials believe are two men have been discovered in a lifeboat adrift in the Gulf of Mexico. "It appears they had been out there for ages," said U.S. Customs official- Henry Conrad. "There was nothing left of them but a bag of bones." Police said the lifeboat was found Friday by a shrimp boat about 80 miles northwest of Mexicp's Yucatan Peninsula. The boat, bearing the name "Thislaine," was towed ashore.

Aboard the boat, police found French coins and two watches. One of the day-date watches had stopped on the 12th of the month and the other on the 13th, but Conrad said officers did not know in which month the watches had stopped. By SAM SHULSKY Q. I am a 23-year-old who wants to invest S1.M la both short-tad long-term growth. I'm relatively aninfarmed abort the market aid would appreciate whatever information yMcaa seid me.

I've heard of options and bonds, also. A. I'm sure you realize that you can't spread $1,000 among too many different issues unless, of course, you decide to speculate, by buying calls on stocks. For example: On the day your letter arrived A.T. T.

was selling for 4914. The purchase of 100 shares would cost around But if you believed Telephone would go above 50 any time before July 31, you could have bought a call on 100 shares for around $150. If Telephone climbed to 55 you would have gained $500 (less your original expenditure of $150). If, Telephone didn't cross the 50 mark you would lose your $150. That would be one way of spreading your $1,000 among six different stocks for a "play" of several weeks.

It could show you a whopping profit or wipe you out. If you want to play it "cozier" you would put the $1,000 into a sound growth stock to be held long-term perhaps years. When you get more money you would add more growth stocks. Bonds make no sense for you. NOT INSURANCE EXPERT Q.

I find that while about 31 million persons In the U.S. own stocks and bonds, there are 14S million who own life insurance. That's a rati of nearly to 1 in favor of life insurance. Why don't you devote more space to life insurance as an Investment? A. Because I am not an expert on life insurance and because I place so much emphasis on the need for life insurance for protection not necessarily investment that I want it "fitted" personally, in very much the same way a tailor fits a suit.

The preponderance of policy holders over securities investors is not only logical but necessary. I have often said that life insurance is an absolute ''must" for protection and comes ahead of any other form of "investment." Life insurance is the only method I know by which a young family man, fof example, can create protection for his wife and children immediately with the payment of the first premium. I have talked often of life policies, annuities, term insurance. But it would be foolhardy for me to "prescribe" life insurance without knowing a reader personally. That is the I MEETING OLD FRIENDS: Gene Tlpps pauses to talk with a former high school classmate, Mrs.
