FOR FEDERAL SUPERVISION
OF LIFE INSURANCE

Observation-Disclosures Dryden of
New Jersey, who is president of one
of the largest life insurance compa-
MES in the country, had talk with
the president on the subject of insur-
ance, which the president will discuss
freely in his forthcoming message to
congress. Senator Dryden will intro
duce at the approaching session bill
providing for federal supervision of
life insurance. 1t will differ in some
respects from the measure Mr.. Dry
den introduced in the last congress,
but the principle will be the same.
He indicated, in response to inquiries,
that the supreme court had never
passed on the constitutionality of a
federal law regulating insurance, al
though it had held, in the considera-
ton of cases involving purely state
laws, that interstate insurance was
not interstate commerce.

Alpha Centauri, a bright star of the

to the solar system. Yet it is 275.-

the sun. That is, it is $4,000 100000

other stars are so much farther away

with which to measure their greater
