Life Insurance
Buyers Unselfish,
Authority Ayers
Old Age Policies Fail to
.' Keep Step With
Protection

NEW YORK, June 8.-A sur
vey disclosed here today by one
of the larger life insurance COM
panies indicates that the family
providers of America are choos-
ing to remain "old-fashioned" in
at least one phase of modern liv-
ing-the type of life insurance
protection they are buying.
For some time there has been
a belief, apparently. that eco
nomic conditions had increased
the interest in old age financial
security to the point at which en-
dowment insurance might take
the lead over other forms, in pub
lie demand.
This recent survey, however,
shows a well-defned preference
among men of family RESPONSE
bilities for the type of insurance
which will provide a maximum
amount for their dependent fami-
lies in the event that they them
selves fail to survive.
"This unselfsh attitude on the
part of the buyers of life insur-
ance," one authority said today,
sis typically American. The peo-
pie Of this country are the most
heavily insured in the world and
while it is true that endowments
and other forms of investment in
surance have gained in favor, it
is a splendid commentary on our
national spirit that the family still
comes first"
One explanation offered for this
refusal of the American family
provided to depart from "protec-
ton" insurance is that the small
er premiums required for this
form of coverage make it possible
for many men to acquire protec-
ton in amounts more adequate to
provide needed funds for their
families in case of death.
"The family provider," this
same authority says, "is studying
life insurance as never before and
has learned that by acquiring in
