automobile insurance to protect
their policyholders participating in
ride-sharing plans.

Is in the interest of the war effort,
Mr.. Henderson wrote the companies,
"the once of Price Administration
believes participating car owners
should lose no part of the coverage
afforded them by their automobile
liability insurance bodily injury and
property damage"
Some companies, Mr.. Henderson
said, have construed liability poll
cies written by them on private cars
to be unaffected by bona fide par
ticipation in ride-sharing plans,
even though they involved agree
ments to share expenses. He asked
all companies to agree formally to
this construction.
Mr.. Henderson said some car
owners had expressed concern as to
whether pooling rides on an ex-
pense- sharing basis might be a
policy violation, because OF pro-
visions denying insurance coverage
to vehicles when used for hire or as
public conveyances.
