ing nearly $4,000 members in
the Washington area.
His career embraced politics,
the steel business. stock bro
kerage. property management
and the dictatorship of other
concerns in addition to the in
surance field. With all this.
he found time for participation
lin civic and philanthropic af-
fairs.

Although wonderful progress
has been made by all agencies
toward this end. there is still

time to seed this type of cover
IS August and September. In
