Reversal Of RuIinu
On Insurance Sought
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Sept. 20.-A joint
petition asking reversal Of the recent
Supreme Court ruling that the in
surance business is interstate COM
merce and subject to Federal regu-
lation has been sent to the high
tribunal by Georgia and 81 other
States.
Attorney General T. Grady Head
Of Georgia said the petition request
ing oral argument in the case was
mailed to Washington Monday, and
would probably be considered Octo-
ber 2.
A Justice Department suit charg-
ing the Southeastern Underwriters
Association with fixing rates in
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law brought about the courts deci-
sion. Prior to the final appeal,
Federal Judge Marvin Underwood
of Atlanta had ruled insurance was
not interstate commerce and dis
missed the case.
The States action was based on
the 75-year stand of the Supreme
Court that insurance should be State
regulated, Mr. Head said, and added
that the case had not been ruled
on by full bench-upsetting a no.
year tradition. The courts decision
was a three-four split with two
members not participating)
"As matters now stand" Mr. Head
said, practically the only regulation
left to the State would be premium
tax"
Joining Georgia on the petition
were Alabama. Arizona, Arkansas,
Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware,
Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Min
nesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, New
ada, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas,
Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Vr-
ginia and Wisconsin.
New York and North Carolina may
file a separate petition, Mr.. Head
said,

Shortage Of Help Snags
Bottle and Tin SALVAGE

Due to manpower and gasoline
shortages, bottling companies which
have been collecting bottles and tin
are unable to continue the work,
the District Salvage Committee an
nounced yesterday.
The companies will continue to
collect as many bottles as possible.
The committee is urging consumers
to return empty bottles promptly to
distributors.
There is no shortage of materials
for the manufacture of bottles but
the manpower shortage makes it i'm
possible to turn out sufficient guam
titles to meet demands" Horace
Walker, executive secretary of the
Salvage Committee, said.

For orderly reconversion, protection OF
human interests and planning for jobs for
all, only one effective measure has been pre-
sented to Congress.
1t is the Kilgore-Murray-Trum bill, re-
jected in the Senate by combination of reac-
tionary Republicans and polltax Democrats,
but still in the running if the House will adopt
its counterpart, the Celler bill CHR 5126).
The George bill adopted by the Senate
is no more than feeble attempt to gloss
over the bleak prospects of industrial
chaos, mass misery and postwar depres-
sion, which It does little or nothing to
avert.
