Wednesday, January 31, 1973 Constitutional Obstacle Plan State Redoing 'No Fault 600 GREENUP COVINGTON, KY. PHONE 261-6666 ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION 721-2700 I I I 1t I By WILLIAM BRADFORD Associaed Press Writer FRANKFORT (AP) An advisory committee on no fault auto insurance agreed Tuesday to use a proposed model law on that subject as a working draft for consideration for Kentucky. But some members of the committee stressed that the use of the model law as a guideline did not bind them to all of its provisions. The committee also decided to ask Attorney General Ed Hanco*ck for a ruling on whether the model law would be constitutional in Kentucky. THOMAS AIXLEY, of the Legislative Research Commission staff, said that any no-fault law, even a limited version, would appear to violate Kentucky's constitution.
At issue is a section of the constitution saying: "The General Assembly shall have no power to limit the amount to be recovered for in surance resulting in death, or for injuries to person or Ainley said enactment of a federal no fault law now pending in congress px-obably would override Kentucky's constitutional proMM-tion. The idea of a no fault law Is to have a person's own Insurance company pay his damages In an accident, regardless of whether he was at fault. The intent of such a law is to avoid litigation, with attendant legal fees, to determine which insurance company or person has to pay. THE STUDY of no fault Insurance was directed by the 1972 General Assembly after several bills on the subject made little progress. The advisory committee is comprised of two House and two Senate members and two representatives of each of the auto insurance industry, trial lawyers and disinter-, ested citizens.
The committee selected state Campbell Jury Reports Today-Another Blast Viewed Unlikely No Kitten On The Keys Is She SUSIE, a two-year-old chimpanzee who bunks at the Cincinnati Zoo in between impromptu performances, demonstrates her now famous and much immitated "three hand technique" (two hands and a foot If one wants to get technical).

MOST CHARGES made by the December jury were based upon testimony submitted by state police "undercover" men. Stoce then, true bills returned against a police officer and a retired police officer by the December panel have been dismissed for lack of evidence. The present jury continued to Investigate the unsolved murder of Newport night life figure Sammy Eisner, which occurred on July 30 to his Newport antique shop. One of the witnesses summoned was Eisner's brother, Mel, who resides in Cincinnati. He was reluctant to testify.
JUDGE WARREN delivered a powerful seven-page charge to the jurors when they convened on January. 8, telling them he expected them exploit fully the powers they possess to investigate as have other recent juries rumors Kentucky Physicians Rank Second In Annual Earnings -inquirer (Bob Free) Photo any stock or other investments, was used in its comparisons. Nationally, according to the report, "long-term trends show that mean net profit of self-employed physicians rose from $8096 in 1945 to the $32,100 level in 1969, representing an average annual increase of 5.9. The corresponding increase in the Consumer Price Index during this period was 2.8 and in physicians' fees, 3.8." SIMILAR PROFITS for sole proprietor dentists rose from $16,100 By CHARLES ETSINGER Enquirer Reporter. The four men and eight women comprising the January term Campbell County Grand Jury met Tuesday in the Newport Courthouse to prepare a final report for submission to Circuit Judige Frederick Warren today.
There was conjecture that because the jury investigative periods apparently haven't been as long as in 1965 to $21,600 in 1969, "Mean net profit of all self-employed dentists increased at a rate of 7.4 during 1965-69, compared with corresponding increases of 5.2 in dentists fees and 3.8 in the CPV the report said. The survey also noted an American Medical Association study showing that in 1971 "average net income per physician ranged between a low of $30,718 among pediatricians and a high of $46,423 for radiologists." service commission order are: shall discontinue service to all existing outdoor, ornamental flare gas, fixtures, and new service to such fixtures and outdoor gaslights will be refused. shall cease advertising and promotional efforts that could increase the demand for natural gas, and the company shall initiate an educational campaign, to promote gas conservation by all customers.

Ainley told the advisory committee that the American Bar Association is "unalterably opposed" to federal legislation on the matter, and has suggested each state enact its own law instead.
AINLEY SAID that 12 states have enacted no fault laws so far, but only six of those went into effect before this month. He said that no state has a "complete no fault law" one which entirely removes the right of an individual to bring suit in court. Those states coming closest to that are Florida and Massachusetts, he added. The model law which the advisory committee agreed to start with was approved by the national conference of commissioners on uniform state laws. It would have a person's own insurance company, regardless of of alleged vice and official corruption in Newport and other Campbell county areas.
Warren lashed out at the sheriff's office, Newport police and county police for alleged failure to observe violations when they inspect public places. He suggested the sheriff's office could be more aggressive in the law enforcement field. Heads of the departments criticized did not reply publicly, saying they would present their facts to the grand jury.
