Keene resigns from Indiana state board amid firestorm
Bernard M. Keene of Indianapolis resigns from the state board of pharmacy after sustained criticism from rival insurers and drug trade critics over his role as a fire insurance agent. Keene, a Democratic member, cited increasing insurance duties and time constraints as his reason, denying pressure from colleagues. His term as board member, appointed by McCray and reappointed by Jackson, would have run to 1931.
