issued by savings bank insurance departments are somewhat lower in cost than similar policies pro- vided by the old-line companies. They are at least 25 per cent lower in cost than the so-called indus trial" or weekly-payment policy now carried by thousands of low-paid workers. Dividends paid by the Massachusetts insurance banks com- pared favorably with dividends paid by old-line companies. Carrying charges over period of years should the purchaser wish to sur- render his policy-are lower than those of old-line companies, even the most liberal.
 For these reasons, the new system is expected to be a great boon to the lower income groups. The ma jority of insurance purchasers find they cannot keep up their policies. The average whole life policy re- mains in force an average time of about seven years. In 1887, for ex- ample, 160 old-line companies sold Americans 6,758, ,000,00 worth of insurance of all types. Of this, $11,- 661 100000 worth was terminated within one year. The purchasers lost their premiums on this insur- ance.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-01-19

$250 to maximum of 5000 worth of insurance at any one bank.
 Six types of policies are pro vided for adults: a. Straight life: b. Life, paid up at age 65; c. En- dowment maturing at age 65; d. Twenty payment life; e. Twenty year endowment; f. Five year term, renewable to age 65.
 Premium payments may be made at the bank annually, semi annually, quarterly or monthly. The bank will not send for the payments; the purchaser must bring them in. The bank, how ever, will send notice that pre- miums are due.
 After only six months premiums have been paid the policy has a cash value which cannot be revoked, so that if the owner wishes to pay no longer he has the, choice of a cash surrender value or of taking paid-up insurance for an amount proportionate to the total face value of the policy. After years premi- ums have been paid, the cash value can be taken as loan. Dividends are paid from the first year on- wards.

LABOR'S LEAGUE
 DELEGATES BUSY
Group to Testify Against Any Cut in Deficiency
 Appropriation

Labor's non-partisan league is sending delegation to Washington, D. C., to interview congressmen and senators, particularly to testify against any cut in the $875 ,000, 900 deficiency appropriation recom- mend for the WPA by the president.
 Scheduled to interview Senators Malonel and Danaher today as well as the six representatives in Wash ington, the delegation was composed of Calvin Sutherlin, state organizer of the league; Joseph Ciazza, state organizer, Workers Alliance of Con- necticut; Rev. J. George Butler, pas- tor of the Summerfleld Methodist church; Ira Shyev, of the CIO coun- cil in New Britain, and John Bridge, head of the Stamford branch of Labor's non-partisan league.
 The delegation was prepared to point out to the congressman that the proposed slash in the WPA, throwing 10000 from Connectucut WPA rolls out of jobs, would mean a drop in Connecticut purchasing power of hundreds of thousands of dollars, not only causing suffering to those released but also jepordizing the security of Connecticut's finan- cial structure. .,-

head of some important activity of the company. They met every day and actually ran the company. John D. himself was never 8 director of any other company save the U. S. Steel for 8 while.
 Now a man may be a director
 of dozen, 20, 50 companies. Of
 course he is not a director since
 he does not direct. He cannot pos
 sibly know what is going on in
 the company. And in the end, i'm
 most cases, he is not supposed to.
 That's not why he is director. He is representing some outside interest that is exploiting the cor lporation or he is there for the in- side information he can get or he is representing some inside inter est that is exploiting the corpo- ration. Of course this is not true of all directors or all corporations. But it is true of 8 majority of them.
 TWO GROUPS MAY
 SOLVE PROBLEM
 Corporation managers, officials and directors make far more money out of the inside dope of the op- portunities for cutting in on ex- ploitive adventures than they make out of their salaries. That ought to be stopped.
 I once suggested that there should be two boards. One should be board which actually runs the corporation and has complete con- trol over its buying, selling, admin istrative problems. It should be composed entirely of the executives of the corporation with representa- tives of labor on it.
 There should be another board
 named entirely by the st0ckh0ld-
 CTS and composed only of men who
 are actually owners of large
 amounts of stock, so that they
 have an interest in the corpora
 tion's health. That board should be
 an auditing, supervisory, scrutin-
 izing, questi0n-asking board. Having made this suggestion, was surprised to receive letters from two corporation executives, one oi them well-known, telling me that such 6 plan had been installed in their corporations for some years and had worked well.
 LIMIT DIRECTORS
 TO FEW BOARDS
 1 It is worth considering. Under such circumstances management an6 labor would be represented by the operative board and the stockhold. CTS would be represented by the supervising board. All that would be needed would be a prohibition against one man being on more than two or three such boards.
 As for the public, any notion that the public can look for pro-
 lection from the boards is ridicu- 'lous. The public must look out for
 itself through consumer 0rganiza-
 tions and public agencies such as
 the federal trade commission, the s. E. c. and the like. But none of these proposals will do very much good until the cor poration laws themselves have been overhauled to get out oi them the various sawed-off shot, guns, blackjacks and other gadgets used to hold up the public and the stockholders.
