AS was stated last week, affairs with
Insurance Commissioner McNall have takor
Il decided turn and he Will have TO make
a fight to retain his position until the erd
of his Term in July. \ set of charges
against McNall has been prepared and
signed by Arthur Capper. The charS,s :
consist Of six counts which are as follow:
First-McN.IIs action in the Hillmon
cases.
S~.cond-The revocation by McNaii of the
license Of the Phcuix Insurance Company,
its subs,q uent restoration and the paymelt
of "a fee by che company 10 its attorneys
for their work in the case.
Third-The examinations of Eastern COM
panies by special Examiners or so-caiicd

said in the campaign.

of their fees without turning IN. same !nJu
