John B. Martin said today that Missouri is offering its residents the protec- tion which he says he is unable to get the Michigan insurance com- missioner to provide policy-holders in this state, Returning from a visit to the Missouri insurance commissioner, Martin said that official — “with virtually the same law that we have"’—requires insurance agents to prove that they attempted to place special risk insurance with companies in Missouri before allowing it to be placed with an unregulated company in another state. Martin recently demanded that Joseph A, Navarre, state insur- ance commissioner, do that in Michigan, Navarre told newsmen state law did not require it and he could not go beyond the law. Martin said Missouri law did not require ft, either, but that the com- missioner in that state imposed the cree. He said the requirement was intended to see that insurance was placed with companies under state regulation. Martin said he also conferred in Chicago with representatives of Lloyds of London. He said he be- lieved that firm collects millions of dollars in premiums on business | written in Nichigan, even though | the company is not admitted to do business in Michigan, but operates through Illinois agents.

This, he said, is $1,280,000 less then the same month a year ago a 5.2 per cent reduction and the largest drop of the calendar year. Nims said most of the loss was in auto sales, but that the August tourist business also was down. The auto sales reduction has been the major factor in the lower retail volume each month, Nims said.
