Expert ReneWs Plea
For Utility MANAGER

A Governors committee study
ing the laws Of the Washington

newed plea that the $100 million

a general manager.

mittee last night that the agen-
cy'S three commissioners ARE
doing an admirable job"
But "they cannot take care Of
the details involved in the opera
ton of the sanitary commission"
he added. strongly recommends
ing a general manager.

sanitary agency for two years

things. the hiring of a general
manager with the three-member
commission becoming a policy
making body.

Commissioners say the general
managers salary, which they
claim could run as high as $40,-
600 year. would be too much
for the taxpayers.

Insurance Firm
Wins Renewal
OF D. C. License
Judge Rules Intent
OF Congress Agrees
With Company Stand

Federal Judge Charles E. Nc
Laughlin today ruled that the
District superintendent of insur-
ance must renew, the license Of
the Shenandoah Life Insurance
Co., of Roanoke, Va.
The company issues group life
insurance policies to Federal and
District employees. Approximately
$4,000 such employees are COW
cred by the policies through as.
Sociations in various Govern
ment departments and agencies.
Cash value of the policies total
about $210 million.
The insurance superintendent
last April had refused to renew
the company'S license on the
grounds that certain require
ments as to numerical member
ship in the group plans were not
met.
The Government contended
that under the law, rs per cent
OF all eligible employees of a par
ticular department or agency
must be insured under the plan
before it is deemed valid.
But the judge, agreeing with
the insurance company's con-
tention, held that it was the
intent Of Congress in passing the
insurance statute. that the rs
per cent requirement applied
only to membership in the "as-
Sociations" and did not neces-
sarily apply to all eligible en-
ployes.
Judge McLaughlin's ruling was
handed down in the form of a
memorandum opinion in the
U. S. District Court for the Dis
trict Of Columbia.
