One Bribery Enough,
Says Court, Attacking
Insurance Firms
Tokes Jurisdiction
In Missouri Suit
To Bar Companies
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, May Z.
The State Supreme Court today
declared one bribery lis enough
land too much)" as 1t took juris-
diction of q State suit to close Mis-
souri's border to fire insurance COM
panies which joined the Pendergast-
O'Malley rate compromise.
The opinion, one Of the sharpest
worded to come out Of the court In
months, was the Supreme Courts
first words on the bribery Of Boss"
Tom Pendergast and former 1nsur-
ance Supt. r. E. O,Malley, disclosed
q year ago when they pleaded guilty
to Federal income tax evasion.
It was after those pleas-which
showed the two men had received
huge sums to influence approval OF
compromise whereby the insur-
ance companies received 80 per cent
of nearly $4,000, 900 in impounded
insurance premiums-that Attorney
General Roy McKittrick filed the
custer suit He accused the COM
panies of bribing q State official,
asked that they be fined, barred
from business in Missouri and be
forced to repay the impounded
funds to policyholders.
Regardless of whether or not
respondents (the insurance COM
panies) were entitled to win the
rate controversy on the
merits" the court said, they had
no right to obtain such an agreed
settlement and new rates by bribery
Of the public ofIicial who repre-
sented the interests Of the State
of Missouri in this controversy.
What should be done about such
conduct is for the courts Of the
State to determine"
The companies had argued the
Missouri Supreme Court was with
out jurisdiction since the original
litigation was in Federal Court.
The impounding Of the funds was
brought about by disallowance of a
rate hike.
