A ff si a rW ft an kairA Krvuff ant this week to a widening probe of alleged rackets In selling Insur ance policies to American service men. A House Armed Services sub committee has summoned top. insurance executives to an open hearing Thursday for recommendations on raising standards for the sale of insurance on U.S. military posts throughout the world. The hearing is the outgrowth of subcommittee charges that, until recent remedial steps were taken, "fly-by-night" agents and com panies were using improper sales methods in American Army bases in Europe.

He said they "apparently are based on misunderstanding and misin terpretation of actions which were taken in good faith. Chairman Hebert (D-La) said the subcommittee does not intend becoming Involved in the Gates case. "It is more healthy for the Air Force to clean up its own house," he said. Thursday's subcommittee hear ing will consider proposals for tightening regulations governing the qualifications and licensing of agents and insurance companies allowed to solicit business on Army posts. Witnesses will include representatives of most major insurance companies.

Courtney said subcommittee Investigators confirmed charges raised by the Raleigh, N.
