lost the war, then they passed
through the terrific revolution which
caused the transition to the repub-
lic.' Col. Roddie explained.
Then came the impossible Armis-
tice and peace terms. together with
repeated internal strife. Finally, the
initiation reduced the country to
such a state of hopelessneSs that
they would accept anything that Of
fered a semblance of hope. And so,
Hitler came into power"
The British army officer said that
the constant military activities of
dictators on the continent are not

NEW DEAL MAY
TAKE INSURANCE
BUSINESS over
Social Security Bill Seen
as Opening Wedge
for Move.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Plans
to use the social security program
as an opening wedge for putting the
Government into the insurance
business were revealed today.
The intention of some Congress-
men to make this attempt become
known at the same time insurance
companies revealed they would OPP
pose any move which they might
consider an encroachment upon
their business.
In connection with this situation
it was learned an active campaign
to institute a congressional inves-
tigation of insurance companies has
been quietly under way.
President Roosevelt is known to
oppose such an inquiry at this time.
1t has found little support at the
Capitol. But any flareup on insur-
ance during consideration of the So
cial security program might bring
the whole subject into the open.
Rep. David j. Lewis Cd, Md
is particularly interested in the IN
surance features of the old-age pen
sion, unemployment insurance and
child health program.
Opposes Private Companies
He said he believed the bills
which he and Sen. Robert F. Wag-
ner Cd, N. W, introduced Thurs
day should be strengthened in their
references to the annuities made
available for public purchase.
Rep. Lewis, a member Of the
House Ways and Means Committee
which begins hearings on his bill
next Monday, said he would attempt
to strengthen the insurance pro-
visions. He believes, he said, the
Government should gradually take
over functions of the insurance
companies and that life insurance
should be removed from private en-
terprise with its profit motive.
The general plan now is for an
nuitieS which would return 500 a
month after the policy holder
reached the age of IS. How much
they would cost or the terms on
which they could be purchased have
not been determined. 1t was under
stood, however, that new data on
the normal expectancy of life would
be used in fixing the rates.
These annuitieS, according to the
present program, would be sold to
persons who would not be eligible
for the old-age insurance to be
worked out by states under Federal
supervision.
Higher Benefits Urged
For that reason great interest has
developed concerning salaried and
professional classes who have not
been alberto work out a satisfactory
system of saving for old age.
The Administration social Sc
curity program continued subject
of intense interest among Congress
men and Senators during their week.
end recess.
The agitation for higher benefits
than the President proposed reached
such an intensity yesterday that
Edward F. McGrady, assistant Sec
rotary of Labor, conferred with

wealth" program will attempt to

floor.

PET
FARM PROJECT
is UNDER PROBE
S2,300,000 Appropriation
for Experimental Town
Is insufficient.
By United Press

DU CNtttW ITGSS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-An
agricultural department investiga-
ton is under way to discover why
Chief Brain Truster Rexford Guy
Tugwell's pet experimental farm
project, within sight of the Capitol,
is going to cost 100000 or so more
than had been expected.
The superintendent of the 400
acre farm has resigned. Several
other veteran employees responsible
for administering the project have
been suspended or denoted. Ap-
proximately $2,300000 was allocated
to the experimental farm at Belts
vile, Md. The money came from
PWA and was deemed sufficient to
provide the Agriculture Department
with an adequate research center.
Another 100000 has been obtained
to finish the job.
Scientific and experimental prof.
ects of many types are to be CEN
tralized on the Maryland property
Prof. TugweH pushed the plan. AS
roads, model buildings and expert
mental fields appeared at Beltsville,
the farm became New Deal show
place.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt mo-
tored through the lanes which con-
meet various experimental areas and
pronounced the project excellent.
Mr. Tugwell has led a pilgrimage or
two to Beltsville.
Other Experiments Tried
There are $50 or more employees
on the place and an effort was
made to combine the experimental
farm with an experiment in sub
sistence homesteads. These are
homes financed by the Government
at low cost for persons who must
augment their vocational income by
other means, such as raising garden
truck for their own consumption.
Public Works funds we're sought
for that purpose but were refused.
PWA ruled that subsistence home
stead ALLEGATIONS were limited to aid
for industrial workers or persons
disemployed by depression who were
compelled to leave cities.
Beltsville employees are farm
workers and therefore not entitled
to subsistence homestead aid. Fail
ing to obtain subsistence home
stead for the experimental farm, its
sponsors turned to another New
Deal device-the rural rehabilita-
ton community"
Rural rehabilitation communities
also are for persons who must
augment their vocational income by
other meanS-the same means, in
fact, that are employed by subsist-
ence homesteaders. The principal
difference between rural rehabilita-
ton and subsistence homeSteadS in
this case is that FERA allots money
for the former and PWA for the
latter. 1t appears likely FERA will
advance the funds which PWA
withheld.
No Dishonesty Found
The investigation has not yet de-
termined precisely why the orig
inal $2,3OO,OOO PWA allotment failed
to produce a complete research
farm. Preliminary examination in
dicates there was no dishonesty but
merely an enthusiasm for the Tug
we'll project which led to 'hurry-up"
irregularities in expenditures.
Funds allocated for one purpose
were spent for another. Workmen
classified as laborers were assigned
to work as clerks, or the other way
around. Authorities confess they
are not at all certain these irregu-
