MISREPRESENTATION concerning
health status of applicant '-FTC
said certain firms advertised that you
don't need to undergo a medical ex-
animation to buy the policy.
This implies full coverage without
regard to the general health of the
applicant when the policy is issued"
But the ads don't disclose that the
policy doesn't pay for losses trace
able to a condition in existence when
you bought the policy.
Misrepresentation relating to
sale of a plan"-Some firms imply
that great many benefits can be
obtained by buying one policy for
a few cents a day. But to get all the
listed benefits you must buy several
policies, according to ETC.
LIFE BENEFITS
MISREPRESENTATION of benefits
as payable for life"-Some firms inn
piled in their promotion that a GER
tain income will be paid as long as
the insured is disabled, even for life
but in fact to get lifetime benefits
your disability must be absolute, total
and due solely to accidental bodily
injury.
If disability due to accident is
partial, or if the disability is due
to sickness, the payments are pay
able for a limited period of time,
said ETC.
misrepresentation concerning
additional benefits Some firms rep
resent to the prospective buyer that
certain benefits are payable in addi-
ton to other benefits-but actually
if you receive one you don't receive
the other.
ETC gave examples of these al
legged practices.
The American Hospital and Life
Insurance Co., in one such example,
claimed policyholders would
get surgery from $500 to $3.50, de
pending on seriousness of operation"

ETC OBJECTS TO 8 AID
PRACTICES

The eight different advertising
practices objected to by ETC and
used by the II insurance firms cover
a wide range of Misrepresentation
Here's a breakdown:
MISREPRESENTATION of policy
termination provision" -FTC said
typical claims were: "No automatic
termination age, no increased costs
or reduced benefits after policy is
issued" and "yOu and your family
are covered from l to To-"
But, said the agency, "most of the
policies sold in this field are renew
able solely at the option of the com
pany" The firm can cancel most
policies at the end of each term, and
terms run from premium to premium.
Zone of the most frequent griev-
ances voiced by policyholders writing
to union papers has been that after
their first serious illness and claim,
the company would use its option to
end the policy as soon as it could.
1t then would either refuse to renew
it or do so only on more costly
basis.)

These aren't small, relatively I'M

firms between them account for over
$500 million of the over 81 billion

following 10 months of investigation
"a probe commenced after ETC re-
ceived what is called FLOOD of let

purchased was not the coverage that

Labor newspapers first gave wide

months ago when the AFL Machinists'

the maximum amount stated to only
one or two comparatively rare opera

WASHINGTON R-RecordS of

1t is too early to say definitely

HOLLYWOOD
NOTES
By BOB THOMAS

HOLLYWOOD R-Judy Holiday
has won her eight-year fight to es-
cape from Billie Dawn.
Billie is the squeaky voiced,
slightly dumb gal from the wrong
side of the tracks who makes her
way up in society via her looks
and her Illogical logic. Judy start
ed playing Billie in 'Born Yester-
day" on the stage. She lasted for
three years, stopping in the middle
to play an almost identical char
acter in Adams Rib"
Then, after much maneuvering,
she came West to play the film
version of Born Yesterday" This
time Billie hit the jackpot-an Os.
car in Judy's first starring picture
The actress did two more pictures,
"The Marrying Kind" and cit
Should Happen to YOU" but the
roles plainly smacked of Billie
Dawn.
Now she is appearing in a movie
with the unique title of "Phffft. :"
When I watched her rehearse a
scene, there were no overtones or
undertones of Billie. It was all
Judy.
She no longer has the short
bobbed hair. She wears an at
tractive bun-"It's Columbia's, not
mine" Her once-plump figure is
now wasp-waisted. Instead of her
gariSh costumes, she has an as
sortment of chic gowns. And the
squeak has been replaced with her
own modulated, slightly inquiring
voice.
''Yes, this is about as far from
Billie as I can get," she remarked.
AFTER all, you can't 60 on playing
the same role all your life."
Knowing the dangers of type
casting, Judy has planned her ca.
reer well. She held out for the
right to do only one picture a year,
even though her demand almost
lost her the "Born Yesterday"
film. She has adhered to that
schedule, even doing less than one
. year because of the birth of her
baby.

WASHINGTON IN President
Eisenhower's labor law revision
bill was up for a do-or-die Senate
vote today with Democratic oppo-
nents confidentthey can push the
administration plan aside.
A move to send the Taft-Hartley
Act revision measure back to the
Labor Committee, to be made by
Sen. Hill (D-Ala) or Sen. Murray
(D-Mont), was scheduled for an
early afternoon vote under q de-
bate limitation agreed to by the
Senate.
If the Democratic motion wins.
it would all but kin any chance
Of changing the long-disputed 1947
labor law this year.
Both Southern and Northern De-
mocrats appeared optimistic their
lines would hold firm. They out
number Republicans 4S-47, with the
other seat held by Sen. Morse
lind re) Democrats were count
ing on Morse's vote on this issue.
Sen. II. Alexander Smith (R-
MY, Labor Committee chairman,
said, "we're not licked yet" But
he refused to predict the outcome.
Sen. Kennedy (D-Mass) said he
Is confident" of a Democratic
victory. :
Northern and Southern Demo
Gratis gave widely differing reasons
for wanting to send the bill back
to committee.
Northerners said they were I'M
satisfied with the committee bill,
which substantially carries out
Eisenhower's recommended ! n 5.
because it fails to correct what
they call antilabor sections in the
present law.
Southern Democrats said the bill
az now written does not contain
control over strikes, boycotts and
enough restrictions on labor union
conduct nor give the states enough
control over strikes, boycotts and
picketing. They expressed concern
too over an antidiscrimination
amendment which Sen. Lehman
Cd. Lib-NY) has promised to call
up If he has a chance.
The Senate has agreed to limit
debate on Lehman's amendment
and all others, including the mo-
Ion to recommit, to 80 minutes for
each, divided between proponents
Ind opponents.
This debate limitation was de.
scribed by Southerners as one
reason they planned to give SUBJ
stantial support to the recommit-
tai motion. It would prevent any
filibuster on Lehman's amend
amendment, designed to forbid
discrimination by an employer or
a union because of race, creed
or color.

x YOUNG MOTHERS can and do rely on all
Y to safeguard sensitive skin from irrita-
ton caused by the harsh suds-curd, or
scum, some washing powders deposit in clothes.
The difference is that all washes with ''con-
trolled suds' almost no suds-so your washer
has no trouble rinsng every last bit of dirt away.
That's why all is prescribed by leading auto
matte washer manufacturers who believe it's
the best way to get your baby's clothes caress-
ingly soft and hygienicaly clean.
Prescribed by washer makers
The men who developed the automatic washer
knew that old-style soaps and detergents were
wrong for such modern machines
Suds riding around on top of the wash water
can't possibly remove dirt from the clothes
down underneath. Thick, heavy suds don't drain
out when the wash water does. Instead, they
cling to the clothes and won't rinse away.

That's why all was created - without heavy

They came up with new kind of detergent

turn out the cleanest, freshest wash possible.
In the home, as well as in the laboratory, all
has passed every washing test with flying colors.
So leading automatic washer manufacturers
now prescribe all for best results in your
machine.

Instead of jamming your washer with thick
layer of lather, aIYs controlled suds let the
clothes swish and slosh and tumble freely, so
all the dirt comes out.
Cleaner rinsing, too!
You know how hard it is to get rid of suds
when you wash clothes or dishes by hand.
Well, it's hard for your washer, too. Thick
suds glue themselves to clothes and prevent
thorough rinsing.
But aHs controlled suds rinse out quickly
and completely. No dingy suds deposit remains.
So free-rinsing all makes all the difference
between dull and bright between gray and
white between hard and soft.

You don't have to use bleaches, bluing or
water softener when you use all. all contains
a special whitening agent that's better than a
bleach because it's gentler. And all contains
it's own water softener in just the right amount.
In hard water areas, particularly, women
who wash with all have learned that for week
in week out savings, all is their very best buy.
And, in addition, their machines rarely need
servicing.
