defended his bill for veterans
insurance against established

The Multer proposal would
allow veterans organizations to
have group insurance.
Mr.. Multer took testimony
yesterday morning from vet
Grams who want their organiza-
tions to offer insurance and
from life insurance executives
who argued such offers were
unsound.
The Multer proposal before q
