Health Association in which the
court had been petitioned to de-
clare its legal status.
Assistant United States At

sored the group health activity,
had filed its action in the nature
of a declaratory judgment.
It complained that the District
Superintendent of Insurance as
well as the United States Attorney
has taken the position it was en-
gagged in both the insurance bust
ness and the practice of medicine
without being licensed to engaged
in either.
