All reinsurance will be arranged between Aetna and those reinsuring.

Each of the two government-wide plans will have rates based off what experience shows to be necessary, with possible adjustment up or down after the initial period of 16 months. In any year when the amount in premiums received is less than th entire cost of benefits, taxes and expenses, the carrier suffers the loss. A fixed risk charge for assuming this loss, set in advance, is payable only when there is a favorable balance between costs and income from premiums. The risk charge is the only potential profit item for the insurer. Aetna will receive 1.3 per cent of the premium, according to its contract.

This will be reduced to 1 per cent, automatically, as soon as the plan has built up a special reserve fund equal to one month's premium. The Blue Cross-Blue Shield contract calls for a risk charge of 1.5, with no automatic reduction provided. The government will contribute to the cost of each health benefit plan, the employe paying the balance of the cost of the plan he chooses through payroll deductions. For an employe enrolling himself only, the government will pay a month; for himself and family, $6.76, with the exception that if there is a aon-dependent husband in the covered family of a female employe, the government will pay only $3.94., Total volume of the first -year premiums is expected to be about $250 million.

The two are in Bart-lesville, and Toronto, Canada. Both are "piped-in" systems, with the pay-as-you-watch shows brought to subscribers' sets by cable. O'Neil said Hartford was chosen for the experiment only after detailed studies by both companies of possible locations.

Sen. Prescott Bush suggested the reports which will be made to the President might be better than testimony before a congressional committee in showing what legislation is needed most in this area. Mrs. Thomas J.

Dodd, wife of the junior senator, reported he; husband as "doing fine," according to his doctor. He is in Florida after a collapse. Mrs. Chester Bowles represented her husband, who is congressman from the Second District. Rep.

John S. Monagan Fifth District, told the group his grandfather would hare been proud' of the development of the conference from the time he had been chosen by President Theodore Roosevelt as cochairman of the first White House Conference called in 1909. He contrasted the treatment of the juvenile delinquent of that day, who was thrown into a penal institution with hardened criminals and human derelicts, with today's efforts in rehabilitation. Rep. Daddario, D.

First District, commended the work undertaken by the conference, and said he feels such studies, and that of the coming conference on aging shows the American people do have a dedication to the problems of the common man. Mrs. Herbert F. Fisher, chairman of the state planning committee for the conference, presided. Mrs.

Fisher announced a general meeting to be held April in the Hall of the House of Representatives, Hartford, at 10:30 a.m. as a followup to the conference here.
