Chicago Insurance Firm
Sued By Metropolitan

CHICAGO, Jan. 20. (ANP) The
billion dollar Metropolitan Life In
surance company of New York
filed suit in the U. S. District
court here against the million dol
lar Negro Metropolitan Mutual
Assurance company of Chicago.
The New York firm, with as
sets of more than four billion dol
lars, is seeking to stop the Chi
cago organization with assets of
only four million dollars, to stop
using the name, metropolitan"
The Negro firm denies that it's
name is similar to the New York
one.
According to the suit filed by
the nations largest insurance COM
pany, the Chicago firm by it's use
of the word metropolitan" in it's
name is confusing the public into
the "false belief" that the two
firms are the same company.
1t further claims that the Chi
cago firm has interfered with and
damaged the business of the New
York business by selling life in
surance policies to persons who in
tend to deal with the larger COM
pany.
Chicago's Metropolitan started
out in 1927 as the metropolitan
Funeral System association in
December, 1927, and operated as
a burial society. In October, 1916,
it became an insurance company
doing business in Illinois under it's
present name.
1t is credited with about 20O,-
900 policies with insurance in
force valued at about $50,000,00O,
and total assets Of $4,O90,821.
In contrast the New York Met
ropolitan was founded in 1868. It
now claims more than 100000, 900
policyholders including 100000
in Illinois alone where the colored
firm operates, and more than so
billion dollars Of insurance in
force.
The larger business is run as a
regular corporation with it's pro-
fits going to it's stockholders. The
smaller organization is a mutual
business with profits going to it's

Although the New York firm is
net claiming ownership or any as

want it to stop using the name

Economic Outlook
Improved, Says
Neri


26. "A new page of Philippine
history is being written in my
country" declared Undersecretary
of Foreign Affairs Felino Neri at
a press conference yesterday at the
Consulate offices here. eve have
made lot of progress not only in
connection with the law and order
situation, but also in the improve
ment of our economic outlook"
Secretary Neri arrived from Los
Angeles last Saturday, June %, on
the third leg of his inspection trip
of Philippine diplomatic missions
and consular establishments in the
United States, Europe, the Middle
East, and the Far East.
Exports Exceed Imports
For the grst time since liberation
in 1945, Philippine exports were
now exceeding imports, Undersec-
rotary Neri said, adding that the
foreign currency reserve had risen
from P20O,000,000 to more than
$500, 100000 in 1851.
Tax collection during the first
10 months of the fiscal year
amounted to P340, 100000, he said.
He expressed confidence that P10,-
100000 more would be collected
eventually by the Government to
complete its goal of P350,000,000.
Sterilization of the Philippine peso
has been achieved, he also said.
The Army has been reorganized,
under the leadership of Secretary
of National Defense Ramon Mag
saysay and now the Huks were on
the run. A resettlement program
for converts from the Hulk ranks
has been inaugurated by the Army,
and these, he said, had been trans
ported at government expense to
the very last and fertile lands in
Mindanao, where the Government
build houses for them and fur
nished all agricultural implements
that they needed. More than a
thousand families were now in
Mindanao, he said, enjoying the
resettlement and land reform pro-
gram of the Government. 81 think
we are beginning to see the end
of the Hulk problem" the 43-year-
old diplomat said.

Eve are trying to make good at
this job of starting a new nation
on its feet. We cannot go on de-
pending on others to do that. We
want to justify the name SHOW

said with conviction. ut is an
experiment in which the United
States has vital stake. And the
United States needs us as much as

Ceiling Prices
 Must Be Posted By All Retail Services

Juneau-All retail service es- tablishments which have not yet filed their price lists with the Territorial Office of Price Stabil- ization are now in violation, Fred G. Hanford, Territorial Director, said this week.
 Deadline for filing was Septem- Der 25. On that date, all retail service businesses were required by the provisions of Ceiling Price Regulation 34 to file list of their prices with the OPS. In addi- tion, they must post their ceiling prices in their place of business for customers to see.
 Ceiling prices, as determined by CPR 34, are the same as those which service establishments had in effect during the period De- cember 19-January 26 and which were frozen under the General Ceiling Price Regulation, Hanford said.
 CPR 34, however, contains vari- ous other provisions, including a method for applying for adjust ments under certain conditions.
 Hanford urged all proprietors of service establishments who have not filed their price lists and posted their ceiling prices to dc so immediately. OPS. Offices are located in Fairbanks, Anchor. age, Juneau and Ketchikan.
