BROWN ORDERED
 FILES BURNED UP
Former Postmaster Gen. eral Did Something
 Never Heard Before

Washington, Jan 9-(UP)-Off- clal files of the post-office depart ment containing data on ocean and air mail subsidies were destroyed on order of former Postmaster General Walter Browns secretary when he left office last March, ac- cording to testimony today at the senate investigation of air mail contracts. James Maher, stenOg- rapher to the postmaster general, testified he was instructed to burn Browns official files shortly before last March I. He said the docu- ments contained data on ocean and air mail matters.
 Maher appeared before the spe- cial senate committee which has been Investigating ocean mail sub Sidics and which turned today to the air mail phase of poStoffice de- partment activities. He said he re- ceived orders from Browns secre- tary to throw into the furnace all files which the outgoing postmaS- ter general did not desire to retain. "lt was couple of days befoI 0 March f." Maher said. and I took the files down to the furnace and burned them.'
 He said he discussed the ,nstruc- ,tiOns with other departmental stenographers. and told them he thought it unwise to destroy the files because they might prove val uable in the Roosevelt administra- tion, He testified official files of other postmaster generals had been stored away in the department.

WOOL MARKET

Boston Jan. ,9.-UP).-Wooi prices were firm to higher in the Boston market today, with the un- dertone strong and confident. Only small scattered sales. mostly in finer grades, were being made. Ask ing prices usually were above the levels of the last sales, reflecting the strength in the entire situation.
 Ohio Delaine and similar fine combing wools were quoted at 3o- 37 cents a pound in the grease: half-blood, 36-37; three e-eights, 42- 43; and quarter blood, Alag. Ter ritory graded strictly staple fine combing wools have been sold ire quently at S5 cents a pound clean. most dealers ask substantially more and some of the choicest grades have sold at 90 cents, but the average quotations were 86S9 cents. Half blood was quoted at 83- 86; e-eighths, 80-83; and quar- ter-blood 1915.
 The U. S. agriculture department said: "A scattered. quiet business is being transacted in 64s and finer territory wools. Sales are mostly very moderate in volume. Strictly combing graded GAS and finer tor ritory wools are being quoted at 84-86 cents, secured basis, with very little of this class moving. De mand runs more to the shorter staple wools.

TRUCKS PAYING
 FEES ELSEWHERE
Going to Other States to Register in Order to
 Save Money

Hartford, Jan Because the Connecticut registration fee for commercial trucks is much higher than in many nearby states, Q great number of resident owners are reg istering their trucks in other states. it was learned today at the depart ment of motor vehicles. Because of this practice not only the state is losing thousands of dollars i'll reg istratiOn fees, but individual cities and towns are losing large amounts in taxes which ordinarily would be collected on registered trucks.
 A survey of fees charged in other states indicates Massachusetts probably is benefiting most from Connecticut business. The mini- mum Connecticut fee for one ton trucks with pneumatic tires is $22.50. If the tires are solid or cushioned the cost is $50. In Mas sachusetts the fee for one ton trucks of all descriptions is but S7.50, according ot Michael A. Con- nor, state motor vehicles commis- sioner.
 A two-ton truck registered in Connecticut takes minimum fee of $37.5O. while the Massachusetts registration is but $13.50. The scale ranges upward through the various weight classifications. with the diff ference in registration costs widen ing until the eight-ton classiflca- ton is reached. Such truck in Connecticut takes fee of $3G7.50, but it can be registered in Massa- chuSetts for only $45.

Gain M Insurance
 Advertisi1,g Claimed
1883 Appropriation Was Approximately TwO-Thirds Greater Than 1882 Figme-l934 to Be Still Greater

White points out. Appropriations for 1884 should further accelerate the unique upward trend that has characterized life insurance adver- tising during the past four years," he says.
 "The rise (1929-1932) was not altogether due to increased budgets but was due in part to the addition of several new life insurance na- tional advertisers, five of which en- tered the field in 1888. It is also that one or two other com panies are considering extensive during the coming 12 months.
 'In copy appeal there has been a decided trend toward advertising of an institutional nature. The splen- did record of life insurance during these stormy days has been one of the most outstanding phenomena of the economic picture. Conse- quently, life insurance carries little of the competitive note, and the cooperative spirit which it is the function of the Life Advertisers as- sociation to foster is manifest"
