new PLAN
FOR STOCK
CONTROL

New York, July 19.-EXpressing the be-
lief that the present trustee arrange
ment for control OF the Equitable Life
Assurance society may only temporarily
satisfy either the policy holders or the
public, and that a real solution OF the
societys difficulties has not been reached.
George westinghouse has suggested a
new plan for stock control OF the society
by 5000 policy holders.
Mr.. Westinghouse plan is outlined in
letter TO Paul II. Cravath. attorney OF this
city, dated June q. and made public to-
day. The proposition outlined Is that all
shareholders be invited 10 place their
shares with those OF Mr. Ryan in the
hands OF the trustees, with power 10
vote for an amendment 10 the society's
charter. providing that the stock shall
consist OF 5000 shares OF 500 each. instead
OF 1000 shares OF 500 each; that no per
son except a policy holder shall be a di-
rector, that only one share shall be held
by any single person, who must be
policy holder. that at each annual cleo
tion seven policy holders who have not
previously served shall be chosen and
that the trustees be directed and en-
powered 10 offer for sale at $1,000 share
the 5000 shares contemplated by the
amended charter 10 the 5000 largest policy
holders. and in the event OF any such
offer not being accepted then 10 continue
10 offer such shares TO the next largest
=poftcy- holders -urttt-the whole 5000 shares
shall have been disposed Of
In his letter Mr.. Westinghouse said:
II believe the foregoing plan would re-
suit IN the selection Of 5000 OF the most in
fuential policy holders as candidates for
the position or directors and would tend
greatly 10 strengthen the society in the
estimation of the public. These 500 pol
icy holders would undoubtedly he recog-
nized az important mon Of affairs and
would obviously represent n very large
amount Of the outstanding policies OF the
society
The plan while providing for the rsten.
ton Of experienced directors, will also in
sure seven new directors each year"
Mr. Westinghouse said today he believed
that under his plan the desired reforms
can be promptly accomplished without
legislation He thought ~ worth OF special
note that less then one-tenth OF one per
cent OF the policy holders have felt suf-
7ciently interested IN tho affairs OF the
society 10 make suggestions 10 the trus-
teers 70 aid them in the selection Of direc-
tors 20 nh existing vacancies
