The policy pays $1,000 to a member's family if he dies, whether at the mine or not. It covers natural and accidental death. Members wives Complaints Led To Disbarment The actions of an Anna attor ney, disbarred last week by the state Supreme Court, weie brought to the attention of the Illinois State Bar Association through complaints from clients, according to a spokesman for the association in Springfield. Complaints against Harold N. Lingle were referred to th? asso ciation's grievance committpp The Union County Bar socia-tion had no part in instigating action against Lingle, the spokes man said.

The disbarment concerned al leged irregularities in a period from 1959 to 1961. The high court said Lingle had practiced "long continued deception" of a client, had taken a portion of a $2,750 wrongful death settlement for his own use and naa tailed to account for a part of a $3,000 personal injury settle ment. The spokesman said he understood Lingle has made soms pay ments of restitution. The court's decision concerned itself only with the disbarment It had nothing to do with requir ing Lingle to make restitution the spokesman said. He explained that such action would have to come througi civil suit.
