In Iowa that yearly premium amounts to only about $30 a car. He noted also that Iowa insurance con- Wildlife institute The Wildlife Management Institute will sponsor a North American wildlife and natural resources conference hi Mexico City next March 12-15. LJ The Iowa state insurance commissioner, William Huff III, opposes total no-fault insurance for auto owners.

"I'm totally opposed to it," he told Mason City Rotary Club members at their weekly luncheon meeting Monday. "It would create more wrongs than the present system." Irresponsible drivers would collect insurance even though they caused an accident, he pointed out. Under the no-fault system, each driver in an accident collects damages from his insurance company, regardless of who caused the accident. No state now has total no-fault insurance, Huff explained. Mas sachusetts and Florida have a "threshold" system under which only smaller claims are no-fault, limits being set at $500 or $1,000, for example.

Huff warned that savings quoted for the no-fault system in tracts now are no-fault so far as medical and collision compre hensive are concerned. The insurance commissioner approved better bumpers. Those able to withstand 5-miIe-an-hour collisions without damage would eliminate about 95 per cent of present claims in Iowa, he said. Compulsory insurance tied to the auto license is not effective, Huff told a questioner. In Iowa about 95 per cent of all cars licensed now are insured, he said.

This compares with 93 per cent in states with compulsory insurance. Drivers just cancel their insurance after getting their licenses, he explained. Huff was introduced by Murray Lawson, a personal friend since the two served together in the Iowa House of Representatives. Dr. James Percival, vice president, presided in the absence of the president, Charles Murray.
