War Insurance Bill Seeks Unified Risk Office
A Washington bill by Rep Sweet Iowa aims to abolish the offices of commissioner of marine and sea men’s insurance and commissioner of military and naval insurance. Powers transfer to the director of the bureau of war risk insurance who would earn 10 000 a year. The measure expands beneficiary classes for term insurance and extends automatic insurance to more service members from 1917 to 1918, with retroactive effects and new funding provisions.
