.FTC Reuffirms
.AuthorityOver
Insurance Ads
BY the Associated Press

The Federal Trade Commits
sion has reaffirmed its claim of
authority to regulate interstate
advertising by health and acct
dent insurance companies.
The commission did SO in an
other 30 decision overruling an
examiners finding that ETC
jurisdiction over advertising of
the Federal Life g. Casualty Co.
of Battle Creek. Mich, could
apply in only three States. This
was the same margin by which
the ETC previously held it had
the right to regulate the ad-
vertising of such firms.
The examiner held last Novem-
Der 16 that ETC jurisdiction could
apply in the case of the Battle
Creek firm only in Mississippi,
Rhode Island and the District
of Columbia.
He said the flrm did business
in all States except Utah and
Montana and was regulated by
local law in all of the others
except the three areas named.
The ETC majority referred to
its decision of April 81 in the
case against the American Hos
pital g. Life Insurance Co. of
San Antonio, Tex.
In that caSe-with ETC Chair
man John w. Gwynne and
Commissioner Lowell B. Mason
disSenting-the ETC ruled that
it was not the purpose of the
1915 McCarran-FerguSon Act to
permit insurance companies to
obtain new business by false and
misleading advertising in inter-
state commerce"

Israel S Envoy
Calls for Arms
BY the Associated Press

Israeli Ambassador Abba Eban
says Israel could be made strong
enough to defend herself but
we do not have much time"
MI. Eban, interviewed on
ABC-TV's College Press Confer
ence yesterday, said that until
recently Israel. though she has
never had a superiority of
armed strength over the Arab
nations, has had enough strength
to deter full-scale aggression.
But. the Ambassador said, the
recent massive infusion" of
military strength into Egypt
from Eastern Europe will put
Israel in great peril-just as soon
as the Egyptians can assimilate
the new weapons into their mill
tary program and train men to
use them
Asked his opinion Of a "blan-
ket embargo" on all arms to the
Middle East. Mr.. Eban replied
that nothing would be more
wrong than an embargo that
would freeze an inequality"
He said Israel's most urgent
task is to improve the bal
ance of strength" He said he
believed there was a "trend" of
opinion toward the idea that
Israel must be sold more arms
to build up her defenses.
Asked if this might not lead

Versatile General Puts
Paintings in Paris Show

PARIS, May 81 (P).-United
States Brig. Gen. Frank Dorn's
interests have ranged from
atomic warfare to cooking. And
now he is showing his water
colors in the Paris gallery of
Andre We'll.
Gen. Dorn's pictures are I'M
usual. He uses a dry brush
technique he learned from Chi
nese artists when he was Military
Attache in China in the '30s. The
color isn't washed on but applied
with countless tiny strokes.
Graying but handsome and
erect at SIS, the retired bachelor
general did quite a few other
things before taking up painting.
Assigned to the Philippines, he
converted the dialect of the Ne
gritos to English spelling. Later
he wrote a novel about the Ne
gritos.
He went to artillery school and
remained there four years as an
instructor. In China, he learned
TO speak Chinese and was mill
tary observer with both the Chi
nese and Japanese Armies when
their war broke out in 1887.
He was with Gen. Joseph w.

Inertia Blamed

Attorney General Brownel
said today the basic problem il
eliminating court delays is over
coming inertia.
I'VE have come to expect de.

and to resign ourselves to them,
he said. He added that Sornt
judges and lawyers have become
accustomed to a way of working
which takes delay into account
They will have to be sold thu
idea that delay is not a neces.
sary evil which must be borne,

that because of delay, legitimate
claims have been settled at q
Traction of their worth.
Turn to Arbitration
Some of the major litigants, ;
he said. impatient with the fail
lure of horse and buggy justice
to cope with jet age problems
have turned to arbitration and
other contractural devices anc
various administrative remedies
as alternatives.
Although some of these extra
judicial devices may have value
we cannot afford to drive people
from our courts to other means
Iof settling, disputes because
judicial relief is so distant and
removed as to be meaningless. y
He said that if the confidence
of the people in the courts is tc
be maintained, means of elimi-
mating delays must be founC
without sacrificing essential safe
guards.
AS the result of an intensified
program to speed justice in the
District Courts, Mr.. Brownell sale
the backlog of litigation has beer
cut by more than 20 per cent in
10 months.
Data on Elapsed Time
Grin S. Thiel, of the admins
trative Office of the Federal
courts, said that in some districts
the elapsed time from filing a
civil case to its disposition has
been as high as four years.
He said the media time be-
tween filing and disposition of a
case in all District Courts has
risen in the last Is years from
20 months to 14.6 months.

Religious Activity on Rise
In Soviet, Russian Reports

Religious activity in Russia is
on the increase, the leader of the
Russian Baptist Church told a
Washington press conference to-
day.
Jakov Zhidkov. president of
the All-Union Council of Evan
gelical Christian Baptists of the
Soviet Union. said churches of
all faiths are overcrowded in
Russia today because of gen
uine search for religion among
the Russian people"
But. while Russians are guar
anteed both freedom of worship
and freedom of anti-religious
propaganda" that does not mean
the same thing as in this coun-
try. it was explained.
Mr., Zhidkov and four other
Russian Baptist leaders arrived
In this country Friday. After
an appearance in New York,
they came to Washington and
will spend the next month tour
ing the United States. The visit
follows a trip made by four
American Baptists last August
to the Soviet Union.
Must Meet Indoors
Both churches and stheistic
groups must hold their meetings
indoors and must not recruit
followers publicly, Mr.. zhidkov
said.
I'VE can teach religion toFour
children in our private homes, I"
he said. but all other instruction
and social welfare work among
young people is in the hands
of the state.
He said the anti-religiouS
forces are very active in Russia,
"but they are on practically the
same basis as we are. In fact. we
have certain advantages" One
advantage. he explained. is that
church attendance is free con-
tiibutions are voluntary = while
the anti-religionists charge an
admission fee TO their meetings.
Speaking through an inter-
prefer, Mr.. Zhidkov said that
before the revolution. we had
the medicines - hypocrites -
who sat in church but did not
believe. Now. since the revolu-
ton. we have the nicodemes in
the anti religious movement,
They Just sit there"
Ducks Question
Asked if the Soviet govern
nent leans toward religious
groups or towards the organized
atheists. Mr.. Zhidkov nesitated
and conferred briefly with his
associates, several of whom
smiled. Then he replied:

AssaiL Crucifir

ROME -(Radio, NC Osser-
vatore Romano has answered vot-
ers in Italy's recent local election
who demanded that crucifixes be
taken down from the walls in
voting places.
The Vatican daily pointed out
in an editorial that Italian law
does not stipulate that crucifix
be placed in voting centers, but
that it does provide for crucifixes
in the classrooms of state-oper-
ated schools - where most of
the ballot boxes were to be found.
II was their presence there that
many of the voters - communists
and socialists, according to the
paper - objected to.
THE law prescribes what
should be found in the electoral
eenfers," osservatore said, "and
the erUeifix is not included.
But the law does not say that
maps, illustrations of natural
science, blaekbosrds and all
other ordinary equipment Of
school or office should be re-
moved.
"But it does say that there
must be no political symbols in
