President Johnson echoed the request in his State of the Union message last week, and Senate hearings are due this spring. One likely result is that the McCarran-Ferguson Act may be amended to impose federal standards on lax state insurance commissions...
...canvas bags containing about a $180,000 payroll were stolen from a branch of the Harvard Trust Co. by two men who falsely identified themselves as employees of an amored car service, police said...
