District Attorney Will Not Act Until Committee Finishes
New York Oct 6 District Attorney Jerome says he will present to the extraordinary grand jury the life insurance revelations uncovered by the legislative investigation committee after its work is completed. The inquiry showed large commissions to McCurdy and Thebaud and indicated broader moral obliquity in the industry. A letter from Charles E Hughes to Samuel Untermeyer noted no discrimination for Hyde in examinations. The Chamber of Commerce called for more regulation of life insurance companies.
