Star Means of
'Rackets'

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 23.-Claim-
ing that Los Angeles county courts
are being innocently used by
money grabberS" to "hijack" al.
legged damages from motion pic
ture stars and executives to such
an extent they are now classed as
target risks" and are conse'
quently denied automobile and liza
bility insurance, Victor McLaglen,
goth Century-Fox star, appealed
to all actors and actresses to join
with him in fighting a condition
which he claims exists.
McLaglen is now defending the
twenty.first damage action filed
against him for total claims
amounting to $685.. 900 during the
last two years. Decisions have
been made in his favor by judges
and jurors in every case with the
exception Of two which are still
pending.
Traffic accident suits, eight mu'
nicipal court damage actions, and
eight superior court jury trials
have cost the star Of professional
Soldier" attorney fees, court costs
and witness fees aggregating al
most $4,000, he states.
Going into court in defense Of
these suits is just plain 'hijack
ing" says McLaglen. Three
times I've been sued in traffic &C
cidentS when 1 wasn't even in the
car and the other times was the
driver to get bumped.
Because I followed too enthuSi'
astically the directions Of my di'
rector 1 accidentally broke a mans

The witnesses cost me $500 alone
THE situation is becoming in
creaSingly difficult. Insurance
companies call us target risks
and won't give US liability inSur
ance. Because of our prominence
we can't even insure our valuable
jewels or collections" McLaglen
pointed out.
1T ceases to be funny when you
are accused of assault, Of reSpon
sibility for a mans death when
you weren't within miles Of the
scene, Of traffic accidents when
you are not in the car and ot
other things over which you have
no control whatever.
I'm fighting. And I'll fight any
case brought against me for ever
