Insurance Firms
 Denied Rehearing
Supreme Court Decision Expected To Intensity Drive Of $75OOOO Lobby-Will Seek To Obtain Legislative
 Immunity By Enactment Of Law By Congress

The United States Supreme Court this week refused South eastern fire insurance companies a rehearing on its ruling last spring that the insurance industry is inter- state commerce and subject to the antitrust laws.
 This means the former decision stands and that the Department of Justice is free to proceed with prose cution of its monopoly charges.
 The insurance lobby, operating with a $75O,OOO ''slush'' fund. will undoubtedly intensity its drive for legislation exempting insurance companies from all Federal regu- lations.
 The lobby has been fighting des- perately for legislative immunity, and hoped to obtain it in time to head oil a decision by the supreme tribunal. It failed in this, but managed to get legislation through the House and came within an ace of succeeding in the Senate.
 On one occasion the Senate was prevented from acting by Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney Dem, Wyo.), who protested so vigorously that the measure was sent back to committee.
 A few weeks ago the Senate Judici- ary Committee favorably reported the legislation, with a recommendation that it be given immediate considera- ton. O'Mahoney again blocked action.
 The bill is on the Senate calen- dar and will likely be called up immediately after Congress recon venes on November IA.
 Much other important litigation was summarily disposed of by the high court by granting or refusing reviews.
 An effort to have the court pass judgment on the soldiers vote ques- ton failed with the rejection of petition to review a suit against the governor of Illinois charging he has arbitrarily and totally" denied serv- icemen right to vote in the Novem- Der election.
 Of course, this is not literally true, but the object was to force the state to accept the Federal law, as urged by he Democrats.
 The court refused to review lower court ruling holding unconstitutional a provision in a Pennsylvania school code requirig pupils to salute the American flag. The pupils parents objected on religious grounds and the court refused to sanction coercion.
 Still pursuing its liberal course, the court decreed that a theater cannot refuse admittance to a critic because it does not like the way he writes

 Arguments by proponents of the amendment that invalidation of special laws aiding women would lead to pas sage of similar laws protecting both sexes were riddled by the league.
 ''At present." it said, ''there is nothing to prevent state from making its minimum wage laws or other legislation pertain to men as we'll as women. But the fact is that no state has done it as yet!

Foremen Houdinis Tricked By Girls

SAN DIEGO, Calif.-Now you see it, now you don't-and it's all done with mirrors!
 The girls of Lodge 1125, Intl. Assn. of Machinists, in the experimental department of Consolidated Aircraft O., and company foremen have been playing hide and seek with mirrors.
 By devising secret sliding panel to cover the mirror in the rest room, the foremen were able to deprive the girls of an occasional peek to see if their lips were on straight.
 But their union paper, Hero NezCs, went to bat for the gals and when the company manager saw the expose he chided the foremen and gallantly re- moved the secret panel.

about its productions. A New Yorker who had been blacklisted sued and got judgment of $500, and the court re- fused to upset the verdict.
 The Aluminium Company of America tried to dodge a lower court decision compelling it to pay the Treasury profits in excess of 10 per cent of the contract price of aluminium furnished during 1886, 1887 and 1888 for the con- struction of naval vessels and air craft. The high court backed the Treasury.
 The Sun Life Insurance Company lost in an effort to escape paying $10,- 900 awarded by an Illinois court to the wife of Lieutenant Richard Bull of Peoria, Ill.,, who died hero's death off the Dutch East Indies.
 The company contended it need not pay the claim because of the aviation clause" in young Bulls policy.
 The supreme tribunal refused to upset the lower courts judgment, SO the company can't "gyp" the heirs of a man who died for his country.

First AFL Program On NEG Chain Jan. {

Organized labor will be on the air as never before in I945.
 The three largest networks of the U. s. have agreed to launch nationwide sustaining programs during the new year for the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations.
 Equal time and facilities have been granted to labor by the net works of the National Broadcasting Co.,, the Columbia Broadcasting System and the Blue Network.
 On Jan. z, I945, the AFL will start off on the NEG every Sum- day for l3 weeks with Is minute program called Labor Forum. The time will be 1:l5 to 1:3O PM.
 In the spring, following conclusion of the AFL series, the CIO will go on NEG with a dramatized series yet unnamed, at the same Sunday period, l IS to 1 80 PM. (EWT).
 On the CBS, the first production of l3 week series will be offered by the CIO, at a day and time to be set in the next few weeks. The AFL will follow the close of the CIO series.
 The Blue Network has agreed to give a full B week period on Satur- day nights to organized labor. The CIO will take the first 26 weeks and the AFL the second half year.
 Mutual Broadcasting System, the smallest of the 4 chains, has not agreed to give regular series to la bor, but told the AFL it would make available an equivalent amount of time for broadcasts of special labor events and features from time to time
 Programs on the various net works will vary, with no duplica- ton by either the AFL or CIO. For mal announcements of the features and more definite scheduling will come later.

 The league charges that, although the amendment is palmed off in the name of equality" between the sexes, it would actually wipe out laws in % states which establish minimum wages for women and laws in A which limit the number of hours women may be required to work.
 '' Some discriminatory laws against women may be cured by the amendment, but we would kill at the same time the very laws that are enabling women to progress to real equality,'' the league warned. "The amendment treatment is akin to curing your headache by taking off your head.

l38,6OO Women In Industry In Conn.

Approximately 138,6OO women were employed in industry in Connecticut as of October 1st, State Manpower Director William J. Fitzgerald of the War Manpower Commission said today in disclosing that this was a drop of 14,73o feminine workers as compared with October 1, 1943.
 The reports on feminine workers were obtained from records furnished by 407 firms in Connecticut. These same firms reported an anticipated rise in feminine employment from the present levels of 138600 persons to 150,032 female workers as of Janu- ary 1, 1o45, and a further slight rise to 150,650 women workers as of March 1, 1o45.

 The league wound up by challeng- ing the claim that the opponents of the Equal Rights" amendment are against real equal rights for women"
 ''Of course nOa' the league re- piled. ''We have always favored and worked for legislation that will secure full civil and political equal ity for women and men.

US. Delegates 10 Urge
Open News Policy al
World Air Conference
BY the Associated pres,,

~ Lue AseOclabe0 EresS,i yfEf5s& ik 4
CHICAGO, Oct. 81 United States
delegates to the international Civil
Aviation Conference, which opens
tomorrow, will press for an open"
policy, it was learned today from
early arrivals.
This country alone cannot decide
such policy, an official explained, but
as the host nation it can exert con-
siderable influence. The United
States is eager to avoid the type Of
criticism about press relations which
has marked international meetings
held in the East earlier this year.
Many Sessions Must Be Closed.
1t was made clear that many Of
the sessions Of necessity will be
closed, but program for giving
the correspondents continuing re-
port Of progress has been developed
This is expected to include a daily
press conference with a top ofncial,
presumably the president OF the
meeting, and an opportunity to
question chairmen of the various
sections as they become concerned
with developments.
1t is possible that the absence OF
Russia will affect the press policy
in the direction of liberalization, in
asmuch as that country has played
a very close hand in commercial
aviation. Aside from two joint op-
erations with Germany and Sweden,
the Soviet had not engaged in in
ternational air transport, and thus
far has given no public intimation
OF what will be asked after the war.
Russians Discussed Preliminaries.
The Russians engaged in prelimi-
nary talks with United States ex-
perts few months ago, about the
time that the Chinese also were in
Washington for bi-lateral conver-
sations. The Soviet government
took disinterested attitude toward
world aviation conference proposals
when the subject first was brought
up and at first had not intended to
participate. Later 1t agreed to send
a delegation, and was expected tc
support United States opposition te
an international air authority EN-.
powered to allocate routes anc
schedule frequencies.
The Russian withdrawal Will have
little effect on technical phases OF
the conference, in the view of Amer
lean delegation aides, since theil
announced reason-the inclusion OF
hostile" countries such as Spain
Portugal and Switzerland-may be
classified as political
