| 1930 RATES GOING UP STILL HIGHER Mass. Compulsory Auto Insur- ance Figures Soaring Boston, Aug. 18 (UP)—Compul- sory automobile insurance rates in MasSachusetts for 1930 may be even higher than the increased rates for 1929, announced yesterday, it was learned here today. While it was too early to make any definite prediction along the - line, an official of the Massachusetts automobile rating and accident pre- vention bureau stated, it was con- & cefvable that even the higher 1929 ¢ rates would fail to adequately cover the insurance companies’ losses. “The 1929 rates were based on our experience during 1927—the first { year that compulsory iusurance was effective in Massachusetts,” the of- ficial said. “In establishing the 1930 s rates, insurance authorities will have the benefit of two years' ex- perience. It is perfectly possible that the 1929 rates will prove too low and that even higher rates will be necessary for the following yeasr." Tentative rates for 1929 on pleas- ure cars, as announced yesterday by Wesley Monk, state insurance commissioncr, showed increases in some ca rates. Despite the rate hoosts, George A. Parker, registrar of motor vehicles, said today he did not believe the in- creases would keep many cars off the road. “Qur experience thus far has indi- cated that compulsory insurance has had little effect in keeping cars off the road,” he said. “For that rea- n, it sccms improbable that the higher rates for pleasure cars in some classes and in some territories will discourage motorists. “I have no doubt that many Massachusctts motorists feel that the tentative rates for 1929 are too high. But if they are high it is the niotorists who are responsible. If the motorists had fewer accidents 1t would he possible to establish lower rates. ‘It must he remembered that next _year there is to be a big reduction in the registration fee and this sav- ing will offset to some degree the increases in insurance rates. course there also is to be a g tax but the payment of this assess- ment naturally will be spread over the entire motoring season and hence will not be felt as much as otherwise might be the case.” DRIVER OF CAR HELD FOR HITTING WOMAN (Continued from First Page) s almost double the 1928 Minno said he was not going faster than 20 or 25 miles an hour. He said he did not see the woman be- cause he was blinded by the lights of a passing car. DiMinno was represented in court by Judge Willlam F. Mangan.

The needle was in the mattress of the bed he wag sleeping on, and in someé manner had pierced him. Downey attempted to pry it out but instead forced the sharp silver pt steel further into his body.

To dis- lodge the plece of stecl, an opening ‘was made in the chest wall and the sac protecting the heart was opened. By feeling with his fingers, Dr. Don- ovan was able to touch the tip of the needle in the back of the heart when the organ contracted. It required 75 minutes to gain a firm hold and dislodge the needlc.
