Equitable Life Society Tghtens
Practices as Parkinson Quits

ceived the standard agency COM
mission for services rendered.
But I don't look with great favor
on nepotism in any such institu-
ton as a great life insurance
company. I do not approve
of it."
Mr.. Murphy of Equitable COM
mented:
THE advertising agency re-
lationship that was criticized
was discontinued in 1851. 1t
had not, of course, cost the So
ciety any more than if the ad-
vertising had been done through
any other agency"
Son Has No Comment.
The ohairman's son, Courtney
said he had no comment on
the report.s He said the details
of his agency's contract with
Equitable mad been thoroughly
discussed more than a year ago,
At that time, Courtney Park
inSon said the relationship be-
tween his agency and the insur-
ance company was always con-
Quoted on the strict business
basis that governs our associa-
ton with all our accounts, both
past and present"
He also had explained that
he obtained the Equitable ac-
count on the basis Of an adver-
tising campaign designed solely
for rural areas.
The report also said the COM
/ pany, after a conference with
representatives of the insurance
department, had required three
officials to return salaries paid
them by Mccarthy Oil & Gas
Corp, Houston. while they were
on the Equitable payroll.
Difference of Opinion.
"The three officers may have
felt the compensation was justi-
fed" Mr.. Bohlinger said. 81
reached the conclusion that ii
was not a proper arrangement. y
Equitable assumed control and
management of Mccarthy Oil &
Gas in March, 1852, after the
Houston company had fallen be-
hind on principal payments due
on a $29 million loan from
Equitable. Warner H. Mendel,
Equitable counsel, was made
president of Mccarthy Oil &
Gas and voted a~salary of $780,
900 a year plus travel and living
expenses. Two other Equitable
officials were voted salaries of
$4,000 each as officers of the
Mccarthy firm.
The report said:
"The circumstances under
which these salaries were paid
by Mccarthy Oil & Gas Corp
were reviewed by the State ex-
aminer and were discussed with
the society. Thereafter the So
ciety transmitted its check to
Mccarthy Oil & Gas Corp, for
the amount refunded. These en-

Judge More Ideas
Than All of Moon

BALTIMORE, Oct. 30.-Judge
Herman M. Moser told the chair
mf1l of the State Board of
Motion Picture CenSors yester-
day that "Marilyn Monroe
standing still is more suggestive
than anything I saw in "The
Moon is Blue"
The judge made his observa-
ton at a Circuit Court hear
ing of an appeal by United 44rt-
lists Corp, from statewide ban
on the film, THE Moon Is Blue. "
The board called the movie "in-
decent" and immoral"
Sydney R. Traub, board chair
man, said at the hearing he con-
sidered it "suggestive-a little
off color" That evoked Judge
Moser's observation about Miss
Monroe who starred in Gentle
men Prefer Blondes" which
passed the Maryland censors in
tact.

u. S. to Aid Two Alaska Areas,
Hard Hit by DwindIing Salmon

President Eisenhower today
designated two regions of Alaska
as major disaster areas as the
result of mysterious decline in
the local fishing industry.
The move will permit use of
emergency funds to help relieve
suffering in some 1000 Alaskan
families during the coming WIN
ter. 1t amounts to victory for
Alaska's Governor B. Frank
Heintzleman, who came to Wash
ington two weeks ago to arouse
the Government to the serious
ness of the situation.
The crisis developed this sum-
mer when the usual schools of
salmon Unexpectedly failed to
show up at their Alaskan spawn
ing grounds. The catch, which
represents the chef economic
support of AlaSka's fishing COM
munities, was as much as 80
per cent below normal.
With winter coming on, two
areas face real hardship. One
is in the Southeastern Alaska
panhandle" area, where about
1000 families rely on the salmon
catch. The other is in the north
west corner of the Territory,
around Bristol Bay.
In the southern region, where
milder winters make work prof.
ects feasible, the territorial gov
ernment has earmarked $150,000
of it's own funds for work on
roads, harbors and other public
facilities. The Office of Terri
tories in the Interior Department
now has promised additional
funds up to 100000. AS a fur
ther relief measure. the Agricul-
ture Department has set up
winter logging program for ma
tives to supply wood for new
pulp-manufacturing plant which
will go into operation next year
at Ketchikan.
Direct relief measures are nee
esSary, however, for the Bristol

ployes are now continued on the
Equitable payroll"
Mr. Murphy Of Equitable COM
mented:
las regards the Mccarthy
loan, there has been an increase
of about 33 per cent in proved
oil and gas reserves since Equit-
able took over; approximately So
million has been paid on the in
vestment; and the entire indebt-
edness is now current. Mccarthy
Gas & Oil is no longer in de-
fault and is paying back both
interest and principal"
The report called attention
to the payment of $150,0O0 in
legal fees to William Roberts, an
Equitable director, for legal serv-
ices in connection with the re-
organization of Associated Gas
& Electric CO. Equitable held
SAT million of Associates bonds.
The payments to Mr.. Roberts
were improperly entered in the
insurance company's books, the
report said.
Investment Held Protected.
Mr.. Murphy of Equitable COM
mented. .
"The examiners reference to
fees paid to certain directors,
one of whom is since deceased,
performed a remarkable service
to the society in protecting its
investment in the Associated
Gas & Electric Co. through the
reorganization of that company
This reference did not criticize
the amount of the fees, but the
method of reporting them to the
board"
Latest available figure show
Equitable's assets to be $6.571,- =
694 ,494 and its insurance in
force at $19,037, ,101, 400.

departments prompting, Equit-
able ended an arrangement with
an advertising agency headed by
Courtney V. Parkinson, son Of
