DIES MONIES, April 12.-(Special when
Senator Jamison and Representatives Ken
dali Jones and Clary met mere today to
begin the work of the Insurance Investl-
cation commission they discovered that
Senator Durham, one of the members, had
handed his resignation TO Lieutenant Gov
ernor Herriott and would not serve Gov
ernor Herriott today over the long dis
lance telephone confirmed the statement
that Durham had resigned but stated that
he was in hopes of persuading him to re-
consider his resignation and retain the
position on the commission. Senator Dun
ham over the long distance telephone
stated that his resignation was final and
that he could not serve because of i'm
portsnt private business that would take
his time during the summer. Senator Dun
ham has been mentioned frequently as a
possible candidate for attorney general, and
1t is known that he has a large law prac-
tice that demands his attention. Notwith-
standing the absence OF Senator Durham
the other four members of the commission
met today in the private office Of the state
auditor to plan the preliminaries for the in
surance investigation. II is taken for granted
that Lieutenant Governor Herriott will ap-
point another senator to the commission
at once and that the work can be be taken
up promptly. The four members win likely
adjourn for few days tin another ap-
pointment can he made.
