Insurance Inquisitors Probe McCurdy Salary Rise and Family Profits
The Armstrong committee resumes its Mutual Life inquiry in New York. President Ro McCurdy faces questions on his 19% raise from 3100,000 to Slvyton a year and whether such increases were authorized by the finance committee or by executive action. Investigators seek details of McCurdy’s duties, syndicate transactions, and the large transfers to the McCurdy family over twenty years. They will also probe expenses, potential excess commissions to relatives, and the $2,500 campaign contribution linked to Republican leaders.
