A IL over the world during the
~ past few years plans have
~ been made and some put in
operation for what has come
to be widely known as social Sc
curity." Many plans have failed, but
a number are now apparently in sue
cessful operation. As whole, the
peoples of the world may be said
to have become security conscious.
For many years in the United
States the public has been aware Of
the needs for protection against all
sorts Of hazards in modern life. In
fact, insurance statistics show that
during recent years the United States
has led the world in the amount Of
insurance in force.
A study Of group insurance in
American industry, which has come
to be favorite form of life insurance,
has been prepared by the CONNER
cial Laws Division of the Department
Of Commerce This reminds us that,
by the end of the present year, there
will be more than 100000, 900 900
worth of insurance in force in the
United States.
10 Per Cent Group Insurance.
Group insurance represents about
10 per cent of the total business in
life insurance in this country. Last
year group contracts averaged $500, 900
and totaled $1,000, 10000 an increase
of more than s400,000.O00 over the
amount IN force in 1882 Ordinary
industrial insurance we are told, last
year totaled 10000 ,0OO, 900, as COM
pared with SIC, 900 ,0Oo, 900 of the group
type.
While group insurance is often con-
fused with industrial insurance, there
is really a good deal of difference be-
tween these forms. Group insurance
is used principally by large industries
to insure their employees. although
quite number of groups of employe,
voluntarily purchased such insurance
for themselves. This plan provide,
for the insurance of a large number
of individuals under a sort of blanket
policy, at low cost to the policy hold.

MOSCOW CP).-Less and less the
name of Stain Is being featured in
the development of Soviet Russia
That is the way Stain wants it.
Although this has been apparent for
many months. 1t was brought home
most strikingly by the absence of
Stalin's name from the IS slogans ap-
proved by the Central Committee of
the Communist party for use in the
November celebration Of the revolution.
Many reasons why such move is in
order are apparent to those who have
followed recent developments here.
There is no one who believes the move
means Stain is releasing any of his
great power, but rather that he has
turned to q more removed and less
advertised means of governing the
nation.
Four Reasons Advanced.
Four reasons are suggested for Sta
Inns new maneuver. They are:
/. The accusation, especially abroad.
that Stain was only belatedly aping
the tactics of Mussolini and Hitler.
2. Stalin's .smoldering anger at the
world and his own people for not
wholly accepting the recent zinovieff-
Kameneff trial at its face value.
3. His realization that dead heroes
like Lenin inherently command greater
attention from the people than con-
temporary politicians and executives.
4. The explanation that Stain, al
ways modest, permitted the personal
advertising only because he realized
the Soviets must have some "ikon" to
replace the Car and church. but that
day Is now past, with innumerable
other things, such as the five-year
plans, the Stakhanovite movement, the
red army and the new constitution, to
claim their attention rather than per-
sonalities.
Probably . grain Of all these 60 into
the reasons for the new maneuver,
which significantly came just in ad-
vance of the Eighth Congress of the
Soviets, November IS, to promulgate
the new constitution.

meeting at Buenos Aires could
make few greater contributions
to the cause of international
peace and security in the New World
than to agree on a formal and con-
tractual definition of an aggressor
state. binding on all the 81 American
republics.
The greatest objection Of skeptics
and pessimists to the League Covenant,
the Kellogg BRAND pact. the postwar
arbitration treaties. and, in general,
the whole peace machinery laboriously
built up since Versailles. lies in what
they consider the impossibility of de-
termining the aggressor.
The problem of finding out who
threw the first stone has constituted
the main hindrance to the success OF
all anti-war measures. And the critics
have exploited the difficulties of the
problem to scorn the endeavors OF
idealistic statesmen who have been
crusading against war.
Latin American is no exception to
the rule. There, too. die-hard nation
alists oppose disarmament, interna-
tional accords to organize peace and
obligatory arbitration on the ground
that it never is possible. when the
emergency actually arises, to sin1e out
the aggressor state. So long as this
difficulty exists, they claim, all the
treaties and agreements intended to
preserve peace by Furnishing the ag-
gressor will be nullified by the two
controlling nations adopting the posi-
ton Of the offended party.
Armed Intervention Cited.
The problem has been confirmed,
time and again, on the American con-
tinent, and instances of it are not only
the armed interventions in times of
peace which have so often disrupted
the relations of the United States with
Latin American governments, but also
number Of international disputes
among the Latin American countries
themselves.
This does not mean. however. that
1t is an insoluble problem. The So
luton was implied, though in an en-
bryonic stage, by President Roosevelt
in his message to the heads Of all CIV
ilized nations more than three years
ago.
Suggesting the signing of a new and
universal non-aggression pact, Presi-
dent Roosevelt summed up his plan
by proposing that the states Of the
world individually agree that they
will send no armed force Of whatso-
ever nature across their frontiers"
This is so broad and all-inclusive
that under its test not one Of the
different situations which in the re-
cent past have obscured the identity
Of An aggressor country could have .
repetition in the future. Armed in
tervention for the maintenance Of do
mestic order, armed protection Of ma
tionals abroad and Of their property
offensive "self-defensive. forcible COL
lection of debts, so-called vindication
of the national dignity, would nc
longer becloud the issue. The mo-
ment that state sent its armed
forces outside its own limits, In the
name Of any one Of the above-men-
toned shibboleths, the aggression
would have been committed and the
excuses would not suffice.
The aggressor would be identified
by its own action, no matter how just
its cause might be, If, to satisfy it,
grievances, it chose the means Of force
and violence to those Of diplomacy
and arbitration. And. what Is even
more important, It would Be identified
irrespective Of physical sire or mill
tary power.

Tumbling into 50-foot dry well while
chasing collie pup near his home
William C. Dyer, II, of Glebe road
near here, was rescued by volunteer
firemen late this morning after re-
manning at the bottom of the well al
most an hour. He was not seriously
hurt.
The dog, which first plunged through
rotten planks covering the well, also
was hauled to the top in make-shift
harness. It was uninjured.
Two flremen, Timothy Thompson,
"a, of the Clarendon rescue squad, and
Joe Collins of the Jefferson District
squad, were temporarily overcome by
gases in the well when lowered on
ropes to place Dyer in harness.
The youth was knocked uncon-
scious by his fall. He regained con-
sciousness a short while later and
yelled for help. His father, Artie
Dyer, heard his calls and procured a
block-and- tackle arrangement in an
effort to lift him from the well.
After the son tied himself to the
end of a rope the father twice sue
ceeded in getting him within 10 feet
of the top. Unable to get the boy
entirely out, he called for the rescue
squad.
Young Dyer, junior at Washing
ton-Lee High School, was taken
to Georgetown University Hospital
Washington, and released few min
utes later.

Ofhcials have been holding the war
rant, together with a similar one
against Zioncheck, pending disposi-
ton Of the inquiry into the sanity of
the Representative.
Zioncheck, however, passed from the
jurisdiction of District authorities yes-
terday when Justice Daniel w. ODon-
oghue signed formal order ratifying
his transfer from Galiinger Hospital
to the Towson institution.
The warrant against zioncheck, Of
course, cannot be served at this time.
Charges against both the Represen-
tatiye and his wife grew out of the
alleged election by them Of Mrs.
Young from her Harvard Hall apart
ment, which she sublet to the newly
married couple.
Continuance Likely.
It was expected that Mrs. Zioncheck
will seek continuance of the assault
case when 1t is called for hearing In
Police Court on the ground her hus-
band is necessary witness and his
testimony is not now available.
Both warrants were issued about
two weeks ago by Assistant United
States Attorney Karl Kindleberger,
who will have charge of prosecution of
the case against Mrs. zioncheck after
service Of the warrant.

placed in hands Of police today for
