Jones, who has endured a bout with the bottle, divorce and bank ruptcy, captured the most honors at ceremonies televised nationally from the Grand Ole Opry House. But the only standing ovation of the evening went to the “Man in Black,” Johnny Cash, who was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Among the stars attending the show was Amy Carter, the presi dent’s daughter, who had a front-row seat. Jones won the Male Vocalist of The Year award and also was hon ored for the top single, “He Stopped Loving Her Today.” Songwriters Bobby Braddock and Curly Putnam, who penned Jones’ hit, were awarded the Song of The Year acco lade.

Mandrell was chosen for the award over last year’s winner, Willie Nel son, plus Kenny Rogers, the Charlie Daniels Band and Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers Band. Rogers and the Gatlins were nominated for four awards, but didn’t take any home. Jones was waiting to perform at a Sparks, Nev., nightclub when in- | formed of his awards. “I can’t believe it,” Jones said. “I’m so happy. The good Lord’s been good to us. I’ve got to thank the fans and friends who stood by us during my comeback. I’m on my way back and I want to thank everybody.” As Emmylou Harris walked on stage to accept the Female Vocalist of The Year award, she tripped on her long blue dress. “You’ve got great timing,” she said, brushing her long, jet-black hair aside. “I want to thank the guys in the band who are watching this show on the bus and tell them, ‘Please don’t drink too much tonight. We’ve got another show to do.’” Cash’s tearful acceptance of the Country Music Hall of Fame plaque brought the audience to its feet for the standing ovation. “I’d like to thank my wife, June Carter Cash,” Cash said of the daughter of country music great “Mother” Maybelle Carter. “June’s the only one I know who has a mother and husband in the Hall of Fame.” The Statler Brothers claimed the Vocal Group award for the eighth time, while Daniels and his band, nominated in five of the 10 categor ies, were voted the best instrumen tal group. The top album honor went to the original soundtrack from the motion picture “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” about the life of Loretta Lynn. She accepted the award for actress Sissy Spacek, who sang most of the songs on the album Lynn made famous. Roy Clark took home the bullet shaped instrumentalist award for the third time and Moe Bandy and Joe Stampley were named the Vocal Duo of The Year. Health fee rises little United Press International TSJEW YORK — Doctor fe^kf^ only 13 percent higher this year than last — less than the rate of inflation — because of growing competition for patients and closer scrutiny of medical claims by insurance com panies, a survey shows. The nation’s expanding supply of doctors has fueled stiff competition and physicians have had to keep fees down in order to attract patients, said the survey published Monday in Medical Economics, a business magazine for doctors. A sampling of 11 medical special ties, including rates for office visits and hospital services, found “physi cians’ fees, as measured by the Con sumer Price Index, appeared to be rising at midyear at an annual rate of 13 percent.” “But that was about one point low er than the ‘all items’ section of the CPI and four points below ‘all ser vices’ — with which physicians’ fees can most fairly be compared,” Medical Economics said. Merian Kirchner, the senior asso ciate editor who wrote the report, explained the comparatively moder ate increases, saying, “The degree of restraint you’re exercising can’t be attributed entirely to altruistic con cern for patients’ pocketbooks or for overall health-care cost control.” Another major factor in physi cian’s fees is insurance companies. “Third-party reimbursement poli cies are getting tougher,” the maga zine said. Blue Shield has gotten pickier ab out doctor bills for their clients. So have many other insurance plans and Uncle Sam, who pays for Social Security patients. Of the increases discovered by the survey, the largest were for compre hensive histories, physicals and for initial hospital care. Medical Econo mics said obstetricians, gynecolog ists and general surgeons have also hiked fees for higher-priced proce dures. The survey showed median fees for office visits haven’t gone up at all since 1979. About half the doctors charge more than the median, however. Medical Economics said $40 or more fees for office visits were charged by 1 percent of the general practitioners, 2 percent of the ob- stetricians-gynocologists; 4 percent of the cardiologists; 10 percent of the neurologists; 5 percent of the neuro surgeons; and 19 percent of the non- surgical specialists — allergists, der matologists, for example. Median fees charged when visit ing patients the first day of hospital care were: general practitioners $50, family practitioners $50 and inter nists $52. Some charge much more — $100 or more the first time. The medians for subsequent “hos pital rounds” or visits to a hospital ized patient were: general practi tioners $16, family practitioners $16, internists $21, pediatricians $19. Some, however, charge $30 or more for such visits.
