Commission Eyes State's Shaky Insurance Firms
Harrisburg AP State Insurance Commissioner George F Reed said his department has stepped up surveillance of financially troubled insurers to protect policyholders from unpaid claims. He noted about 300000 policyholders of bankrupt mutuals may face 22 million in unpaid claims. A bill would cap assessments at five years post expiration and spread losses across insurers offering similar policies.

Supreme Court limits private racial discrimination suits
The Supreme Court ruled 5-2 that victims of purely private racial discrimination cannot sue for damages unless they show state enforcement of the discrimination. Justice Harlan said the 1871 Civil Rights Act requires state involvement, limiting Sandra Adickes’s $50,000 suit to cases where state sponsorship is proven. The decision allows her suit against S. H. Kress to proceed under its narrow proof rules.
