Deaf Citizens
Demand Changes
The 13 million Americans who are deaf are the latest
discriminated-against minority to be heard from, and they
intend to shout until the insurance industry, for one, opens
its ears.
“Insurance protection is an essential element of Ameri-
can life, yet deaf citizens are often denied coverage,” says
Albert Pimentel, director of public sefyice programs at
Gallaudet College in Washington, D.C. “Or when insur-
ance is available, the deaf man or woman must be content
; to pay higher premiums, accept unwarranted restrictions
: or both.”
To change this situation, an educational program aimed
at the insurance industry has been launched by the Na-
tional Association of the Deaf and Gallaudet, the nation’s
only accredited liberal arts college for the deaf.
The campaign will underscore two points that the deaf
community has not, so far, succeeded in getting across : (1)
the deaf population’s safety record compares favorably
with that of the hearing population; (2) the deaf represent
an untapped and potentially high-profit market for insur-
ance.

As a group, says Pimentel, deaf citizens have an impres-
sive driving record. During a JO-year period in Pennsyl-
vania, for exampte, not one of the state’s 3,000 deaf driv-
ers had a personal injury accident. According to a spokes-
man for the Department of Health, Education, and Wel-
fare, if a deaf person is placed in a position where his
handicap will not be a factor, he is actually less likely to
Despite the data, however,jdeaf individuals pay higher
rates for automobile insurance and life insurance com-
panies deny deaf men and women double indemnity pro-
tection in event of accidental death. Employes reject quali-
ifed deaf applicants out of fear that they will have to pay
higher workmen’s compensation premiums.
It is this kind of discrimination that has raised the ire of
the deaf community.
* States Pimentel: “W* want fight to protec4 eur fam-
ilies, drive with peace of mind and,get jobs that we are
qualified for. We no longer .want to face,hurdles at every _
turn.” ■
Ford’s Dilemma
Commerce and Labor Department statistics emphasize
the sensitive economic decisions. President Ford faces as
he enters the 1976 political year,.
-r The Commerce Department figures supported admkiis-
{ration claims that the nation is emerging from its eco-
nomic slump, showing sharp improvement in the gross na-
tional product for the three months ending in. June. The
cheerful assumption is that more jobs are on tfjg„horizon to
ease unemployment woes.
But the Labor Department’s simultaneous announce-
ment baring a 1,2 per; cent rise in consumer prices in July
disputes optimistic declarations from Mr. Ford’s advisers
that inflation has been cooled.
WASHINGTON* -former
Beatie John Lennon’s wife,
Yoko Ono, has had not only her
baby's life but her own put in
possible jeopardy by harass-
ment from'immigration agents,
secret affidavits attest.
_......Hie Immigration Service has
suspended its efforts to deport
her husband before the baby is
bom in November. This deci-
sion was taken with great
fanfare "on humanitarian
grounds. " But Immigration offi-
cials quietly reserved the right to
oust Lennon after the medical
crisis is over. —-——--
Hie 42-year-old Yoko has had
several miscarriages and has un-
dergone a major operation so
she could have a child. A state-
ment from her doctor says the
child she is now carrying “in all
probability" will be her. last
chance to give birth.
Her rare medical situation and
the anxiety of not knowing
whether she would be separated
from her singer-husband has led
to medical complications. Her
conation still is in delicate bal-
ance. ■
Citing a minor marijuana con-
viction in England seven years
ago, Immigration pressed de-
portation proceedings against
Lennon but panted his wife
residence rights.
The singing star explained in a
secret affidavit that the mari-
juana had been "planted in my
non. physically, emotionally and
financially," the doctor added.
•Any separation from him at
this time,. . . would, at the very
least, be extremely traumatic
and could cause the death of this
unborn child."

to persuade the Immigration
Service to call off the harass-
ment of Lennon - temporarily ,
