Some Congressmen Are Trying to Make the Govern ment an Insurance Company - President
 Against Probe of Insurance Companies
,~.-ss--~i Fly H s-0. THOMPSON s-'- # United Press Stan Correspondent

V Washington, Jan 19.-(UP)- Plans to use the social security program as an opening wedge for putting the government into the in- surance business were revealed to- day.
 The intention of some congress- men to make this attempt became known at the same time insurance companies revealed they would op- 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 congressional investi- gation 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 tiare-up on insurance during consideration of tho social security program might bring the whole subject into the open.
 Rep David j. Lewis, d., Md, IS particularly interested in the insur- ance features of the oh-age pen sions, unemployment insurance and child health program.
 He said he believed the bills which he and Sen Robert r. Wag- ncr. d., N. r., introduced Thurs day should be strengthened in their references to the annuities made available for public pur- chase.
 Lewis, Il member of the house ways and means committee which begins hearings on his bill next Monday, said he would attempt to

WATER METERSOF THIS CITY PARED
 BETTER THUS FAR
About 100 Bursts Against 1000 Last Year Dur-
 ing Cold Winter

City water meters have fared much better 80 far this winter thar they did during the severe cold of last year, Assistant Superintendent of Water Frank Cassin stated this morning. To date approximately 100 meters have burst as the re- suit of the. cold. while at this time last year tho figure was near the 1000 mark.
 In all there are 14,000 water meters in the city of Waterbury. The total of 100 to date, therefore. represents very small percentage, Assistant Superintendent Casstn pointed out today.
 So far this winter, he explained, no sub-zero weather has ben ex- perienced. Last year at this time the mercury had dipped below the zero mark on more than one occa3- ion. The slightly milder temperd- lures to date have much to do with keeping the meters from bursting, he said.
 Owners Took Better Care
 At the same time. according to MT Cassin. 1t has been found that property owners, remembering in- convenience they suffered last year. have taken adequate steps 10 prevent a repetition of the meter bursting this year. In many in- stances holes were left In cellar walls where the pipes leading Tn from the stret were installed, MT Cassin said. and the drafts through these openings caused much of the freezing. Property owners have taken steps this year to close up tho gaps In the walls.

Mrs Hauptmann and Mrs AchenbaCh Fell Out at
 the Trial
BY JANE DIXON (Umted Press Stan Correspondcntl

Pennington, N. J., Jan. 19 - (UP)--Another drop has fallen ih- to the bitter cup that is full and running over for the Bruno Rich- ard Hauptmanns.
 They have heard their neighbor, woman of their own blood, Q friend and an intimate of happier days, damn them publicly.
 One morning in March. 1932, Mrs Anna Hauptmann came over to see her neighbor, Mrs Ella Ach- enbach, and maybe talk q little about things neighbor women dis cuss indefinitely.
 Anna and Ella were very well acquainted because in 1927 ut Christmas time Anna came to the Achenbach bakery and Ella gave her job as waitress. Anna served German breads and pastries and good steaming black coffee for Frau Achenbach until Christmas of 1928.
 The two women continued thoir friendship, social gradation not being as closely observed in the German colony where they resided as in less closely woven communi- ties.
 Eventually Anna retired to the privacy of her home and became hausfrau who no longer needed to add her stipend of wages to the family budget. The Haupt- manns and the Achenbachs became the sort of drop-in visitors who gossip across the porch rails and borrow a cup of sugar when the grocer fails to deliver on time.

Senator c.. l. Oliver of Graceville,

came to give up dancing.
About thirty years ago when he was
a young physician just building up a
practice at Graceville, he was attend
ing a dance during the Christmas
holiday season.
Patients hadn't been so plentiful
for young doctor up to that time"
Senator Oliver recounts, 80 l often
found time for dances. But the night
of this particular dance must have
been the turning point l was on the
floor dancing with my partner when a
hurry-up call came for me to attend
the wife of a farmer at the birth of
her baby.
Il left my partner in the middle
of the floor and dashed out to my
buggy and drove the several miles to
the farm through the cold winter
night. l reached there in time to
bring a baby boy into the world and
all was we'll.
But that was the end of my dane
ing days. From that time on my
practice seemed to pick up and l no
longer found time for such diversion.
From then to this day have not been
on dance floor"
