creases in premiums paid by automo-
bile owners for insurance against
theft, and accident are to be announc
ed shortly by the eastern conference
of the National Automobile Under-
writers, it. was stated today in insur-
ance circles. The underwriters were
said to be wavering between an in-
creaSe of forty per cent. and one of
fifty per cent. .
Automobile insurance men declare
that thefts and accidents have more
than doubled within the last few years
and that only a generous increase of
rates can save them from being forced
out of business. Owners of automo~
biles are blamed in part for the con-
dl’tion, the assertion being: made that
car owners who carry insurance “sit
back and let the insurance companies
