Home Insurance Rates Cut
CADET SLOUCH
by Jim Earle
AUSTIN, Tex. OP) — The in
surance industry beat the State
Insurance Board to the punch
Wednesday and proposed major
home insurance rate decreases
for all of Texas but a 27-county
Gulf Coast area.
Sam Winters of Austin made
the proposal on behalf of the
Texas Insurance Advisory Asso
ciation at a hearing before the
board attended by about 500 in
surance men.
Most of those who packed the
House chamber and overflowed
into the galleries were agents
who were fighting mad over a
board staff proposal that would,
in effect, cut many of their com
missions.
The companies opposed the
same proposal because it would
cut profits.
G. J. Jones, the board’s chief
property actuary, said that as
soon as the board tells him what
formulas to use, his staff will
prepare a set of proposed rates
to replace those that have been
in effect since July 1, 1970.
Winters proposed these rate
changes:
Fire — 7.7 per cent statewide
reduction.
Extended coverage mainly for
losses caused by hail, windstorm
and vandalism — 17.7 per cent
decrease in the North-Northwest
rating territory; 12.1 per cent
reduction in the sprawling Cen
tral Inland territory, that in
cludes Dallas, Fort Worth, San
Antonio, El Paso and Austin;
and 17.5 per cent increase for
the Seacoast territory, which in
cludes Beaumont-Port Arthur,
Houston, Galveston, Corpus
Christi and Brownsville.
Homeowners — 16.2 per cent
decrease for the North-North
west territory; 10.9 per cent cut
for the Central Inland territory;
and an 8.3 per cent increase for
the Seacoast territory.
The North-Northwest terri
tory includes Amarillo, Lubbock,
Midland, Odessa, Abilene, Wich
ita Falls and San Angelo.
Insurance men said the reduc
tions are in line because losses
have declined the past two years.
Winters said the proposed cuts
would save Texans $24 million in
premiums.
i His association includes 265
companies that write about 93
per cent of the fire, extended cov
erage and homeowners insurance
premiums in Texas.

sive line coach Willie Zapalac,
Texas A&M, Class of 1946, feels
the rivalry best.
“ ‘They’re aggressive as hell
and they’re Aggies. They don’t
like Texas and I don’t like them.
I think I’m the only ex-Aggie
who doesn’t.’ ”
Mr. Zapalac’s words speak for
themselves.
While I was in school a similar
public pronouncement was made
the U.S. Parole Board effective
Dec. 20, the board announced
Wednesday.
The 49-year-old Jesuit priest,
now in the Federal Correctional
Institute at Danbury, Conn., has
been in prison since July 5, 1968.
He was sentenced May 24, 1968
for damaging draft board rec
ords at the Baltimore Selective
Service office in 1967.
by Jim Wright, then a coach at
Texas Tech.
At that time. The Battalion
publicized the remarks and a col
lection was taken up among A&M
students for the purpose of of
fering to buy back his Aggie
ring, since he so obviously con
sidered it a burden to be an “ex-
Aggie.”
Loyalty to one’s job is fine but
that doesn’t require public dis
loyalty to one’s alma mater.
If Zapalac’s slam offends you
as much as Wright’s offended
your predecessors, then perhaps
a similar fund is in order.
