The actress, 'Auto Ins Controls TORONTO (CP) -- Ontario'sjamine premium rates charged| | Conservative government was} warned Wednesday that its fail-) ure to contro] the auto insurance industry could lead to a crisis of such proportions that the gov- ernment would be forced to so- cialize the industry. | "Time is running out," Vernon Singer, the Liberal member for Downsview, told Transport Minister Irwin. Has- kett. He accused Mr. Haskett of refusing even tu discuss the problems of auto insurance and said he was doing a greater dis- service to Ontario than any other minister. | Mr. Singer said he doesn't fa-! vor a government take-over of} auto insurance, but public con-) eern might ultimately demand! this and cost 5,000 insurance agents their jobs. To alleviate abuses in the auto insurance industry, he anid, the government should set up some sort of a committee to review complaints, perhaps by persons whose insurance has been summarily cancelled, so they could have an independent adjudication. Insurance companies which eancel policies should be forced by government to give written reasons for the cancellations. The government should ex- urance Asked and should look intv the whole question of the lack of competi- tion in rates to determine whether Canada's fair trade practices laws have been breached. Mr. Singer also said the gov- ernment should not accept the insurance companies' com- plaints that they lose money on auto insurance. To give the true picture, the profit, from. pre- mium investments must be con- sideed as well as profits from underwriting. Mr. Singer expressed sympa- thy for unmarried men under 25 who are charged excessive premiums because of the high accident rate in their group. The Liberal lawyer said the insurance industry was making | itself look foolish by taking this arbitrary approach to a prhole group of men who were single! and under 25. Those with acci- dent-free records should at least receive bonuses, he said. He attacked the government for continuing to ignore recom- mendations for a system of compensation without fault, citing a report which showed that 57 per cent of those per- sons injured in auto accidents never received compensation at all, HERE and THERE The International Brother- hood of Electrical Workers has appointed J.

Much of the program was made up of legislation intro- duced in the last Parliament-- when Labor had a majority of only three votes--and then side- tracked for the election that gave Prime Minisler Harold Wilson a majority of 97 in the Commons. ° Foreign policy was basically unchanged, But there was a slight shift in emphasis on the European Common Market, reflecting Wilson's position outlined dur- ing the election campaign. In addition to working | for jlinks between the Common | Market and the European Free | Trade Association, jment said the govern- it also "would be ready to enter the European Economic Community provided essential British and Common- wealth interests were safe-| guarded." |NATIONALIZE STEEL land was back here this week | On steel nationalization, the throne speech said; "A bill will] be introduced to restore public ownership and control of the main part of the steel indus- try."
