Complaints Rave been addressed to your state senator dozens of times by the victims of car accidents where the other driver carried no insurance. "Why flo we let them drive?" they ask. There is no adequate answer when the victim has been maimed or otherwise permanently injured *by a careless and "uninsured" driver. • - The Illinois Safety Responsibility Act is no adequate answer. Like the proverbial one free bite of the vicious dog it permits a driver one accident before steps are taken to revoke the offender's driver license and require him to get insurance. So-called "compulsory" insurance laws-- as enacted in New York and Massachusetts --are bitterly opposed by the insurance lobby in Springfield. Such laws require the insurance companies to issue policies to all drivers upon demand, and drive rates upward as the "poor risks" are issued their policies. Two alternative proposals to c o m p u l s o r y i n s u r a n c e h a v e been offered by your state senator and Senator James W. Gray (D„ East St. Louis). One of these bills, S. B. No. 418, would merely require each auto liability policy to contain an "uninsured motorist" clause. Thus, if an insured motorist is injured in an accident caused by the negligence of an uninsured motorist, the insured motorist's insurance company becomes responsible to pay the damage claim. The additional premium for such coverage is small, is now available on a voluntary basis and is carried by many policy holders. Senate Bill No. 418 would bring this coverage to all policyholders. Another advantage of this bi}l is that protection would be given in cases of accidents with out-of-state drivers and against hit^and-run drivers, as well. (Two categories which are not covered under the compulsory insurance laws) Another proposal, Senate Bill No. 419, would require all uninsured motorists to pay into a fund at the time of applying for vehicle licenses. This fund would be used to satisfy claims for injuries when an uninsured motorist caused an accident. Of course, persons who show evidence of insurance coverage at the time of securing motor licenses would be exempted from making payments to tne uninsured motor- \ : /sts fund. Under Senate Bill No. 419, the secretary of state would administer this alter, nate plan. Unfortunately, opposition to both of these alternative proposals has come from lobbyists for some of the insurance companies. The reasons for this opposition must be extremely difficult for the public to understand. With respect to the uninsured motorists fund (S. B. No. 419) to be administered by the secretary of state-- the insurance companies object to the State "getting into the insurance business." ' Still, this bill affects only those risks which the companies are unable-- or unwilling-- to serve. If there ever was a legislative obligation in the public interest-- this is it. In 1958 alone, more than 38.000 Illinois motorists who carried no public liability insurance had accidents causing injuries. As a result, more than 28,000 uninsured motorists lost their licenses to drive.

Such an objection must be shocking to the public, for it means that the insurance companies would not want to protect their own policy- holders from the real- - and frequently tragic-- riO of injury or maiming at the hands of an irresponsible and uninsured motorist. A distressing thought, isn't it? How much more distressing is the suffering-- physically, emotionally, and financially- of the persons who were the victims of those 38,- 000 uninsured Illinois motorists!

Clubfoot occurs about once in each thousand births, affecting boys more often than girls. The cause is unknown but clubfoot does seem to pop up in certain families. According to most • doctors, the chance of haying a second child afflicted in this way is about 3 per cent (3 chances in 100). Treatment of clubfoot is often started during the first six months of life. Casts are used at first. Later the child's feet are held in proper position by use of a splint or bar. After the first birthday the child can often do without the splint during the day, using it only at night for the next several months. Special shoes are then used. With early correction, about 9 out of 10 ; youngsters will wind up with per- ! fectly good feet Surgery is required in about 10 per cent of , cases. , Q. What cauies low blood pre*- ' *ure and is there any treat' ' ment? ! A. Low blood pressure (hypotension) of a severe degree can be associated with several rather serious diseases. However, somewhat lower-than-aver^ge blood • Low Blood Pressure pressure is commonly found in normal people. Low blood pressure in such cases simply represents an ideal pressure. These persons have no symptoms and they can expect to live just as long as the next fellow. There is another kind of low blood pressure called postural hypotension. Here, the blood pressure falls when the person rises to a standing position. The fall may be sufficient to cause dizziness or even black-out. Symptoms disappear when the affected person lies down. Some people with this type of hypotension seem to be helped by wearing tight fitting elastic bandages about the legs or a tight abdominal binder. Drugs are useful in some cases and in others all that may be needed is treatment for an under* lying nervous disorder. Answers do not necessarily reflect the opinion of all doctors. The diagnosis and treatment of disease is the function of the patient's personal physician. Questions directed to Science Editors, P.O. Box 396, Madison Sq. Sta., N. Y. 10, N.
