...bill that would flatly affirm the industry's We-Are-Not-Commerce defense: ". . . Nothing contained in the , . . Sherman Act, or the . . . Clayton Act, shall be construed to apply to the business of insurance." The Senate Judiciary Committee is getting ready to report out an identical bill, introduced by Indiana's bespectacled, hard-shelled Frederick Van Nuys and North Carolina's implacable Old Democrat Josiah Bailey.

The $1,000 prize winner is by 60-year-old, Indiana-born Wayman Adams, since 1926 a member of the archconservative National Academy, who first showed his Piatigorsky last year at Manhattan's Metropolitan Museum. In the past, Carnegie judges have sometimes recognized painting of decided originality, such as Peter Blume's South of Scranton.
