Buckner, president, was today named chairman of the board of the New York Life Insurance Co. and was succeeded as president by Alfred L. Aiken, vice president and former Bos- ton banker. At the same time Walter Buckner, vice president, was elected executive vice president. The elections took place at the regular monthly meeting of the board of directors.

Lockridge, Kansas City, Mo., was elected president of the asso- clation. Gordon Johnson, Roanoke, Va., was named vice president, and R. P. Green, Boston; F. W. Ehrlich, Newark, N. J., and Frank G.
