Payn and Cady Defend Actions Before Insurance Inquiry
Former New York state insurance superintendent Louis F Payn and J Rider Cady testified on the insurance department investigation denying a 40000 payoff from Mutual Reserve Life. Payn criticized the probe as false and said the report arose from a fight within Mutual Reserve. Cromwell of Mutual Life claimed potential savings of about a million dollars but offered no precise figures. John P Munn of United States Insurance detailed syndicate participations and costs for insurance as the inquiry continued with a grand jury likely in February.

Courmartial Begins Over Naval Cadet Hazing Claims
The navy initiated a court martial yesterday against several midshipmen charged with hazing conduct. Motives and disciplinary actions were debated as the case unfolds, with officials emphasizing adherence to military code and training norms.
Cadet Made to Stand on Head Till He Fainted
Annapolik Md December 28 Court martial proceedings at the naval academy focus on Midshipman Trenmore Coffin accused of hazing Midshipman Jerrone P Kimbrough of the fourth class. Witnesses describe Kimbrough forced to stand on his head in Bancroft hall room 33 while Coffin and a roommate watched, with Kimbrough later losing consciousness. Coffin could not be identified as the hazer due to a rule forbidding lower classmen to view upper classmen in such cases. The testimony details hazing, water poured over Kimbrough, and his loss of consciousness followed by recovery.
