Male 8., Specialists In FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS For ALL OCCASIONS Phone 824-3189 Harrisburg Starting Gov. Shapp toward a major victory of his administration, the Senate has passed a no-fault insurance plan hailed as the best in the nation by some and an unconstitutional hoax by others. The House grappled with the bill- Wednesday, and it was expected the chamber would be as formidable as the Senate was in passing a bill first introduced 15 months ago. A rash of amendments was expected which, if passed, could alter the bill to shape opposed by the administration," tion.

The no-fault bill, the result of a compromise with the state's trial lawyers, requires insurance companies, if financially able, to reduce their liability auto premiums by 10 percent or an average of $6 per motorist. Passed Tuesday on a 44-5 vote, the bill would go into effect on July 1, 1973. Under the measure, anyone injured in an auto accident would collect benefits for his medical treatment, wage loss and property damage from the insurance company covering the vehicle in which he was the driver or passenger, regardless of fault. Action Applauded Shapp, in a statement after the near-midnight vote, applauded the "spirit of bipartisanship" that brought about "one of the finest consumer bills in recent history." "The consumer nofault bill passed the Senate is superior to the laws in Massachusetts and Florida, and when passed in the House, Pennsylvania will have the finest automobile insurance law in the nation," Shapp said. About eight other states in all have some type of no-fault plan.

The Senate floor debate lacked the divisive rancor that marked earlier sessions the last two weeks, but several senators strongly denounced the bill, hammering on one main issue: nofault restricts a person's right to sue for pain and suffering and as such violates the state constitution. "For $7 or $8 less in insurance premiums, we are taking away a person's right to recover for pain and suffering, loss of earn- than 36,000 homes were destroyed or damaged as were 432 small businesses. Snead, executive officer of the local OEP office, was residing in Gulfport when Hurricane Camille hit in 1969. He joined OEP after that disaster and worked for some three years in recovery operations and phasing out those operations. Snead then came to Wyoming Valley after the Tropical Storm Agnes disaster.

ling power and the right to a court of law," said Sen. Austin Murphy, Washington, who voted against the bill. Lawsuits to recover intangible losses resulting from an accident are barred under the bill unless the injured person had medical bills exceeding $1,000 or he suffered permanent loss of a bodily function or was severely disfigured. Sen. Stanley Stroup, R-Bedford, said the bill was "clearly in violation of the state constituwhich gives a person the to sue "for any injury done him in his lands, goods, person or reputation." Sen.

Herbert McGlinchey, D- Philadelphia, however, said the matter was one simply of the people back home wanting nofault, regardless of legal questions. "I don't understand what Sen. Stroup said and neither do. the people back home," McGlinchey said. Law Unconstitutional The Illinois no-fault law was declared unconstitutional on the same grounds.

The Shapp administration hopes to test the bill in the courts before its effective date. Other senators defended the trial lawyers' role in the legislation while blasting Insurance Commissioner Herbert Denenberg, the architect of the commissioner plan. "The insurance seems to try to reduce the argument to very simplistic terms to either for trial lawyers or against the said Majority Leader Thomas Lamb, who broke the issue from his normal role of supporting administration bills. "Trial lawyers are noble, courageous, men of great integrity." The 10 percent premium reduc. tion would mean an average $6 slice for motorists, based on an average $60 premium for liability bodily injury insurance in Pennsylvania.

Premiums in Philadelor Pittsburgh are substantially higher than the $60 average, however The total savings under the bill could be about $39 million. Liability and bodily injury insurance would be compulsory under the measure. The measure also extends no-fault type coverage to collision insurance, amendment passed earlier Tuesday, would have the effect of lowering premiums for motorists carrying Cross, Blue Shield or any health insurance system. Under the amendment, the health insurance would pay benefits to an injured person, If the expenses exceeded the amount of health insurance carried, the car insurance company would pay the rest.

A person could sue to recover any medical expense or wage above the $10,000 maximum. A U. S. government study says that 99 percent of all accident cases are settled for less than $10,000.

Intent of Bill No-fault is intended to replace the present insurance system of determining fault in automobile accidents. This often takes years, clogs up the courts and delays benefits to injured victims. Trial lawyers have opposed no-fault because the system could eliminate up to 80 percent of suits arising out of automobile accidents. Pennsylvanians paid some $874 million in total auto premiums in 1971. There are about 6.2 million licensed drivers and about 20 percent of them are sured.

Voting against the measure were Sens. Benjamin Donolow, 0-Philadelphi Thomas Lamb, D- Allegheny; Austin Murphy, D- Washington, and Stanley Stroup, R- Bedford. Sen. Zehnder. Confair, R-Lycoming, was absent.

All other senators were recorded in favor of the bill. 3 Automobiles Involved in Crash Three automobiles were volved in a chain-reaction collision Tuesday at 11:45 on Market Street, Kingston, at Dawes Ave. Police reported cars operated by Rosemary Smith, RD 5 Tunkhannock, and Catherine Metzger, Box: 12, Pocono Summit, were stopped in traffic.
