Hospital, Accident
Fields chqreed
BY The Assoeloted Press,

The Federal Trade Comnlis-
sion today accused II companies
in the health. hospital and acci-
dent insurance business Of false
and misleading advertising"
The II flrms--including the
four largest in the field-repre-
sent annual premium payments
Of more than $500 million, or
about one-third of the total
health and accident policies
written on individuals.
Among those named in the
FTC complaints--which grew
out of a l0-month Nationwide
inyestigation-were the Bankers
Life & Casualty Co. Of Chicago
tthe White Cross, Mutual Bene-
fit Health and Accident Assoc
citation Of Omaha Mutual OF
Omaha), Reserve Life Insurance
Co. of Dallas and United Insur-
arlce Co. Of Chicago.
s Hearings in December.
Each firm was charged with
from two to six allegedsy- de-
ceptive practices. Each was al
lowed 20 days to file replies.
Individual hearings are to be
held in December.
If. after these hearings, the
FTC finds there is basis for the
charges it may issue orders for
bidding these practices in the
future.
FTC Chairman Edward r.
Howrey said the commission Is
studying several hundred"
other insurance companies OPP
Grating in the same field. He
added there may or may not
be found practices" which
would lead to action against
some of them.
Mr.. Howrey told a news con-
ference the commission staff
had been in touch with insur-
ance commissioners in all the
States, and added:
"We assume that, if they can,
they will try to get these prac-
tices stopped" .
States Aided i'm Probe.
The commissioner said the in
surance commissioners of the
several States had assisted the
FFC in the investigation. He
emphasized that the commits
sion's action in the II cases was
directed solely against advertis-
ing practices. and that the COM
mission was mot trying to run
or regulate insurance COM
panies."
II the commissions charges
against the insurance companies
are proved, Mr.. Howrey said the
commission would issue cease
and desist" orders. Such orders,
the chairman pointed out, are
enforceable through the Federal
courts with civil penalties up to
$1,000 a day for each violation.

High Court Hears
First Arguments on
RedeyeIopment Act
Fute Of Area B Project
Rests on Appeal From
Three-Judge Ruling
a.. H> Q.:A
By George Beveridge

Arguments opened before the
Supreme Court this afternoon on
whether q 1s45 act authorizing
the Districts Southwest slum
clearance and redevelopment
program is constitutional.
On the court decision will
hang the fate of the city's pilot
76-acre Area B project. as will
the proposed rebuilding of vir-
tually all the rest of the South
west waterfront area.
The constitutional challenge to
the act was brought on behalf of
the estate of the late Max r.
Morris. owner of a department
store at 712 Fourth street S.W.
The store is slated for seizure
along with other properties as
part of the Area B program.
The Supreme Court appeal is
from a three-judge Federal tri-
bunal ruling which held last Mo-
vember 20 that the act was con-
stitutional.
Toomey Opens Arguments.
AS Attorney James c.. Toomey
opened arguments for the appel
lants,. interest centered around
the question of whether the Gov
ernment can justify the seizure
of private land and it's subse-
quent sale to a private investor
for rebuilding as "a public use y
Later, Solicitor General Simon
Sobeloff was to argue in support
of the three judge ruling.
In a brief filed previously,
however, Mr.. Sobelof also asked
the high court to repudiate parts
of the three-judge rulings in
depreciation of the program
which he contended were "er-
roneous and severely hobbling to
the redevelopment program"
In the supporting brief filed
October Is. Mr.. Sobeloff also
told the court that the highest
courts of 90 States now have
upheld the constitutionality OF
their own redevelopment pro-
grams and, as support for his
argument in behalf of the Dis
trict procedures.

DR.. Bush was joined in his
comments on security by DR..

of the Massachusetts, Institute OF
Technology who warned that
the present program may be
one of the things most hazard

Finale Of Talks
On Germany
Opens in Paris
Adenuuer confers
First With French
Premier on Soar
By Crosby S. Noyes
Fereien corrs.pondsns Of The ssor


PARIS, Oct. 19.-Apart from
the anxiety Of scores of perspir-
ing stage managers, the grand
finale of Western diplomatic con-
ferences started today in an at
inosphere Of determined conf
dence.
For the next four days the
death-defying performance sci
for the free world leaders
promises to eclipse anything seer
so far.
Today Premier Mendes-France
and Chancellor Adenauer are
trying to solve the problem OF
the So.
Tomorrow the Big Four meet
to sign the agreement ending
German occupation and restoring
the sovereignty of the Bonn gov
ernment.
Thursday the Brussels Treaty
Organization. Matched scant
three weeks ago in London, is to
get its final stamp of approval by
the nine powers.
On Friday a whole new struc-
ttlre for Western European de-
fenSe is to be presented to the
IA ministers of the full NATO
counsel.
Conclusion by Week End.
BY the week end, according to
the script, the dizzy performance
will be over. Everything that can
be done on the diplomatic level
will have been done. The new
organization within which Ger
many can take its place as a
member of the North Atlantic
community viii have been per-
fected and Endorsed by the men,
Der governments. All that will
remain then will be approval of
parliamentary critics.
tMr. Adenauer said on ar
rival by plane: ST have come
to Paris with a great deal of
hope that these next few days
will bring great advantages
for peace for our peoples, for
Europe and for the world" His
talks with Mr.. MendeS- France
on the thorny Saar question
were expected to continue
through dinner and possibly
through tomorrow morning, the
Associated>Press reported. The
meetings will be in historic
structure once the home of
Mime. De Pompadour, mistress
of Louis XIV. 1t is the Chateau
La Ceile-Saint- Cloud in a large
park on a hill west of Paris.)
Experts Know Hazards.
Considering the haste with
which this climatic act has been
arranged, it is no wonder that
the stage managers are nervous.
Better than most people, the
experts who have been drawing
up the final agreements in Lon
don, Bonn and Paris know the
possible hazards and snags that
can develop after the curtain
goes up. And for all the frantic
preparation, rough spots by no
means have been entirely ironed
out.
It is no secret that the per-
formance of the French Pre-
mier is still a major cause OF
concern. It is almost a fore
gone conclusion that in the
course Of the nine-power con-
ference MIR. Mendes-France will
confront the Brussels ministers
with renewed demands for q
system of ornaments control
and integration of military forces
on the continent. It is clear that
