81 States File Brief
Insurance
As Local Business
Ey the Associated Press,

Opposing a Justice Department
attempt to obtain Supreme Court
ruling that insurance companies are
subject to the Sherman Antitrust
Act, "a States asserted today that
such decision would result in
evitably in Federal regulation de-
stroying the sovereignty of the States
in this field"

preparatory to oral arguments on an
antitrust suit brought by the Justice
Department against 1913 stock fire
insurance companies in the South
east.
Virginia expressed similar views
in brief filed last Friday, thus max
ing IS States taking issue with the
Federal Government.
Contending the Supreme Court
had ruled for rs years that insur-
ance is a local business subject to
State regulation, the "a States said
that, as a result, there developed
and now exists an adequate regula-
ton of the business of fire insur-
ance by the several States"
"To now rule" the brief added,

is interstate commerce would elm
mate the legal basis for State regu-
lation and supervision of such busi-
ness and automatically bring the
business under laws enacted pur-
suant to the commerce clause of
the Constitution, which Congress
did not intend, and would produce
chaos in the field, substituting this
chaotic condition for the present
effective method of State legisla-
ton and supervision

Turk Foreign Minister
May Quit in Prelude
To Wholesale Shift
BY PAUL GHALI,

Foreign Correspondent OF The Star and
Chicago Daily News.
BERN, Jan. 10.-Imminent resig-
nation of Turkish Foreign Minister
human Menemencioglu, with Hus-
.sein Rauf Orbay, Ambassador to
London, as his most likely successor
in the prelude to a wholesale re-
shuttle of the Ankara government
was forecast today in a Budapest
dispatch to the Basler Nachrichten
The report comes as a surprise to
foreign observers here, who, al
though lacking precise information
on the subject, are inclined to link
it with the Turkish foreign minis
ter's behavior after the Cairo con-
ference.
1t is known that Premier Stain
Of Russia was angered by the three
hour conference which Menemen-
cioglu accorded Franz Won Papen
German Ambassador to Turkey, i'm
mediately after the Turkish Minis
ter's return to Ankara. In Cairo
Menemencioglu no doubt had learned
from the Allied leaders some of the
details of the Teheran conference.
Dispatches to Swiss papers quote
Budapest observers as of the opin.
ion that closer rapprochement ir
Allied-Turkish relations would re.
suit from the appointment of OrbaJ
to the position of foreign minister
These circles also are specializing or
the influence which such a change
would have on Bulgarian politics
and whether it would not lead tc
Sofas gradual reconciliation with
the Allies.
1t must be emphasized, however
that Budapest information about the
Balkans is very often Influenced BY
German propaganda, which occa-
sionally finds it profitable to spread
false news and then to use it as q
pretext for tightening its grip on
the satellites.
Turkish circles in Bern deny hap-
ing any information whatsoever on
the subject.
