Interests of non-voting policy

by State supervision of the COM
panies, the Monopoly Committee
was told today by Frederick H.
Ecker, board chairman of Metro
politan Life, largest company in
the insurance field.
Mr.. Ecker's statement came i'll re-
sponse to pointed questioning by
Gerhard Gesell, Securities and Ex-
change Commission examiner. as to
the true degree Of control exercised
by such policyholders over their COM
panies. theoretically, at least, mu-
tual companies are owned and con-
trolled by policyholders.
The Metropolitan, founded as a
stock company, was mutualized In
1915.
Former stockholders of the Met
ropolitan Life Insurance Co. VOL
unfairly authorized the mutualiza-
ton of the company in the thought
that any profits after claims, ex-
penses and proper contributions to
reserves, should be returned to policy
holders" Mr.. Ecker explained.
This conclusion was reached only
after careful study of the history
Of mutual insurance companies.

Were it not for the fact that the
interests of all policy holders are

while policy holders in mutual
companies legally control the COM

Metropolitan at the end of 1898
had assets of 1892 100000 and
nearly 100000 policy holders,
about one QUE of every five persons

Britain, France
May Recognize
Franco Regime
Move Seen Barring
Fuscist-Nuzi Aid
In Rehabilitation
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Feb. british foreign
Office officials said today Great
Britain and France we're consider
ing recognition of the insurgent re-
gime of Generalissimo Francisco
Franco as the sole official govern
ment of Spain.
Spanish insurgent authorities in
London said Franco had not yet
asked for de jure recognition of his
government.
British officials said, however, that
unless Franco is recognized soon
the insurgents would look entirely
to Germany and Italy for aid in
rehabilitating Spain.
In diplomatic quarters it was
stated Britain might even offer i'm
mediate recognition of Franco pro-
vided he agrees to end hostilities at
once.
This suggestion however, had not
yet been raised officially and it was
generally believed to have little
chance of success unless the Span
ish government surrenders.
officials emphasized, however,
that insurgent recognition still
would entail the prior withdrawal
of Italian and German troops
which Rome and Berlin have as
sured Prime Minister Chamberlain
they would do in any case at the
end Of the Spanish War.
The continued recognition by
Great Britain of the Spanish re-
publican government depended, Of
ficials said, on the questionable
legal position of the government.
Whether the administration of
Premier Juan Negrin still existed
was indefinite, they said, although
they added it was possible that
Britain would continue to recognize
that government or its substitute
in Central Spain.
Must Gust Duce From Balearic.
Britain and France were under
stood to have pointed out to Franco
that the government-held Balearic
Island of Minorca in the Mediter-
ranean must be occupied not by
Italian or German forces, but solely
by Spaniards before London and
Paris could recognize the insurgent
regime.
Frequent reports that Italian
troops control Mallorca, largest of
the Balearic Islands, has caused
anxiety here since these islands are
close to Frances line of commune
cations with her African possessions.
Diplomatic quarters in Paris said
Franco had given a promise OF
friendly relations between the new
Spain" and France. Senator Leon
Berard, semi official French envoy
to Burgos, was said to be on his
way back to Paris highly satisfied"
with exploratory talks with insur-
gent leaders.
Three principal points Of his re-
port were given by diplomatic quar-
ters as:
l. Insurgent Spain has erected no
fortifications on its Pyrenees from
tier facing France and will raise
none.
2. Any military airport placed
near the border during the civil war
will be removed.
3. No foreign power will be per-
mitted to keep a political or mill
tary foothold in Spain.
In return for these assurances,
the insurgent administration was
said to have asked France soon to
recognize Frances regime as the
sole government Of Spain and to
send an ambassador to Burgos.

Mayor Fiorello La Guardia of
New York today strongly indorsed
President Roosevelts nomination Of

Mr. Amlie, formerly Progressive

ernment ownership of railroads.
Senator Johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado, chairman of the subcom-
mittee, at today's session called

to continue testimony in opposition
to Mr.. Amlie. He quoted from Mr..
Amlie's writings in an effort to show

Letter to Be Made Public.
Mr.. Amlie's was one of two recent
presidential nominations which drew
objections. The other was that Of
Floyd H. Roberts, whom the Senate
refused to confirm yesterday as a
Federal judge in Virginia. White
House officials said President Roose-
welt would make public late today
lengthy letter to Judge Roberts.
With the letter, they said, the
President would make public volu-
minous correspondence on the Rob-
erts nomination, to review the whole
controversy.
In his letter on Mr.. Amlie, Mayor
La Guardia said, There have been
so many gratuitous statements made
against him that one In his favor
would not be amiss."
The New York Mayor added:
"Mr. Amlie served a term in the
House during my time Na Guardia
formerly was Representative. We
were closely associated in the then
Progressive group and I am in
position to know of his sincerity,
zeal and personal and intellectual
integrity.

that he suffered considerably dur

E. o. Grifenhagen and associates,
authors of the latest reorganization
plan for the District government,
indirectly single out eight oficials
to continue as heads of their de-
partments under the proposed new
set-up, 1t was disclosed today in
the second volume of the reorgani-
zation report.
These officials are DR.. Frank w.
Ballou, superintendent of schools;
Elwood H. Seal, corporation counsel;
DR.. George F. Bowerman, librarian
OF the public library; Maj. Ernest
w. Brown, superintendent of police;
Charles E. Schrom, chief of the Fire
Department; Balch Moor, superin-
tendent Of insurance: DR.. George
Rutland, health officer, and Mai.
Daniel j. Donovan, District auditor,
who would become head of the pro-
posed Department of Finance.
Names Of these officials were not
mentioned in the report. But in
each instance with respect to the
director of the various departments
the report said, 1T may be desirable
to provide that the officials of these
seven departments shall be con-
tinued as the first directors of the
departments under the proposed re-
organization"
There was no similar comment
with respect to other department
heads. many of whom, however,
probably will continue to head di-
visions under the II new depart
ments that would be created to alb
sorb the existing IS heterogeneous
municipal agencies and bureaus.
The only definite recommended
ton with respect to personnel was
that the long-vacant Office of peo-
pies counsel before the Public Util-
tiles Commission be abolished. OBJ
viously anticipating such a rec
ommendation the Budget Bureau
failed to provide a salary for the
peoples counsel in the 1910 budget,
now pending before the District
Subcommittee on Appropriations of
tllC 11OuSc.
The second and final volume of
the report covering 100 typewriter
pages goes into extensive detail to
show how the IS agencies and bu-
reaus would be grouped under the
proposed II departments. A gen.
eral outline of the setup was con-
tanned in the first installment of
the report published in last Sum-
days newspapers.
The second installment also re-
veals that special boards and ad-
visory committees of citizens that
would be created under the re-
organization plan would play an
important part in shaping the pol
icies of eight of the II new depart
ments. These departments are:
Parks and Recreation, Personnel,
Revenue, Education, Public Utilities,
Libraries, Unemployment Compen-
sation and Public Welfare.
