Of General Lose
Insurance Suit

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug.

ex-wife of Brig. Gen. Tristim
Upper lost a $4,000 insurance
suit in Federal Court yesterday.
U. S. District Judge Frank

nying the claim by Mrs. Marion
Ferrill Upper of Montgomery
and MRS. Clara Tarbell Upper
of Los Angeles, Calf.
In renewing his national
service policy six years ago.
Gen. Upper listed the Mont

Clara Upper as his ex-wife in
making them co-beneficiaries.
Gen. Tupper's sister is the
wife of Gen. George c. Mar
shall, former Secretary of State

In denying a previous claim
in 1856, the VA held that Gen.
Upper misrepresented the
facts when he sought to renew
the policy four years earlier.
He was asked at the time
whether he was in good health
and whether he had been ex-
amined by medical doctors just
before he sought to reinstate
the policy.
His medical records stew

amined by doctors in Virginia
