Cadillac ownership is not only wonrlerful and
thrilling—but sound and sensible as well.
Why not stop intsoon for a look and a ride?
You'll discover the most beautiful Cadillac ever

That's Cadillac’s magical combination for 1956

Austin, Texas—It seems thit all
areas of state government—execu-
tive, legislative, administrative,
;and judiciary —are affected by th^
insurance debacle. There are Fed "
vT-jI overtones too-? and of course
. political x.
Developments were numerous
■as the state moved to glose five
more insurance or related firms,
nd sla?>ped another under state
conservatorship. ‘ All this in the
weke of the collapse of the
sf.OOO.OOO L’.« S Trust and Guar-
anty Co ,
Most far reaching step was the
order by the Board of Insurance
(Commissioners, for re-examination
of all Texas insurance companies,
jjone excepted. j
Already under way, at the re-
auest of the commisison. is a vast
audit-examination sponsored by
the Texas Society of Certified
Public Kccountants. Auditing
cost* will be assessed by the com-
pares. Any insurance firm refus-
ing’ to open its books to the un-
official examiners will have.its
license suspended immediately
and an official examination of
such firm will start within 48
hours. • |
