The clause in the policy exempting disability benefits from incontestability is not ambiguous and was regarded as sufficient in (Apter v. Equitable Life Assur. Soc., 271 N. Y. 653; Kushman v. Equitable Life Assur. Soc., 253 App. Div. 921; Equitable Life Assur. Soc. v. Deem, 91 Fed. [2d] 569).
Judgment reversed, with thirty dollars costs, and complaint dismissed on the merits, with costs.
