Los Angeles County - News from Oct. 24, 1994
20th Century Report: 20th Century Industries of Woodland Hills is expected to delay the release of its third-quarter results while it works up a proxy asking shareholders to vote on a proposed $216-million infusion by American International Group of New York.

One problem the company hasn’t yet settled is how or when it will pay policyholders $119 million in auto insurance rebates, court-ordered as a result of Proposition 103.
