JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, May 7. —The State Supreme Court today declared one bribery “is enough (and too much)” as it took juris- diction of a State suit to close Mis- souri’s border to fire insurance com. panies which joined the Pendergast-~ O’Malley rate compromise. The opinion, one of the sharpest worded to come out of the court in months, was the Supreme Court first words on the bribery of “Boss” Tom Pendergast and former Insur- ance Supt. R. E. O'Malley, disclosed & year ago when they pleaded guilty | to Federal income tax evasion. It was after those pleas—which showed the two men had received huge sums to influence approval of a compromise whereby the insur- ance companies received 80 per cent of nearly $10,000,000 in impounded insurance premiums—that Attorney General Roy McKittrick filed the ouster suit. He accused the com- panies of bribing a State official, asked that they be fined, barred from business in Missouri and be forced to repay the impounded funds to policyholders. “Regardless of whether or not respondents (the insurance com- panies) were entitled to win the * + + rate controversy on the merits,” the court said, “they had no right to obtain such an agreed settlement and new rates by bribery of the public official who repre- sented the interests of the State of Missouri in this controversy. “What should be done about such §| conduct is for the courts of the ican State to determine.” ‘The companies had argued the Missouri Supreme Court was with- out jurisdiction since the original litigation was in Federal Court. ‘The impounding of the funds was brought about by disallowance of a rate hike.
