When a legislative committee holds hearings on proposed leg- isklion, it traditionally observes neutral altitude.

Fleming and Hill were obviously disturbed that Bryant, as counsel for the committee, was not reflecting his procedure. rjenenherg read statements at two previous sessions of the committee in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. But he subrnilled to questioning for the first time at Wednesday's hearing. He described the current sys-lem governing automobile insurance coverage of bodily injuries as "a trial lawyer's paradise and a consumer's hell."

"What we don't tike (in the present syitem! is that $2.20 in premiums must he paid fur every dollar lhat goes lo compensate viclims," he said, "The overhead goes to insurance companies and legal fees. Ttie no-fault system of auto insurance would help eliminate much of this."

Milton Shapp introduced a surprise witness today at no-laull automobile insurance hearings. He was Massachusetts Insurance Commissioner John C. Ryan.

Shapp told the Senate Insurance CoirimiUce which is holding Ihe public hearings he had asked Ryan to (estify so the committee could "learn firsthand the advantages no-fault has brought to Massachusetts." Massacbusolls has used the no-fault plan fur almost Iwo years. "We will put Ihe full force of this administration heliind this measure," Shapp said. "No-fault is une ol Ihn 'Musi' bills on my calendar." Shapp also read a letter from Massachusetts Gov. Francis Sernent to the effect lhat "no-fauli worked here better than we ever hoped."

He described no-fault as a means "to cut costs, and waste, unfairness and delay and lon term, to build a foundation lor further Ryan said in Ihe area cost-cutting, the Massachusetts version of no-fault "is a resounding success." He said instead of increases in automobile insurance or 20 (o .10 per cent as expected, Massachusetts has seen a 15 per cent rate cut in nil bodily injury coverages this year.

Fleming accused the attorney for Ihe Senate committee of bias during the hearings Fleming, of Montgomery Counly, said Philadelphia law yer Bernard Bryman's badgering of state Insurance Commissioner Herbert Denenberg at a public hearing reflected the position of trial lawyers. The Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association has been fighling bitterly against Denenberg's pioposed no-fault bill.

Bryman read aloud sections of magazine articles written by Denenberg in an obvious attempt lo prove Denenberg had opposed no-fault legislation in oilier stales, particularly New York. Denenberg protested Brynun was quoling him out af context. Bryman continued to read from the articles Suddenly. Louis G. Hill, D-Philadelphia, displayed his impatience with Bryman's luetics.
