Lineup Against StaIinism
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Alexander Feodorovitch Kerensky,
premier of Russia in 1917, proposed
last night that the allied powers
declare very clearly" that one of
their war aims is extension of de-
mocracy to Eastern Europe and Rus
STA.
He told reporters soon after arriv-
ing here that there was a strong
division between the Stain govern
ment and the Russian people" He
added that he would explain to
allied diplomats and Washington
officials that there was nothing in
common between the aims and poll
cies of the government and the "as-
pirations and desires" Of the Rus
sian people.
Mr. Kerensky said he expected to
confer today with State Department
officials. with William C. Bullitt,
Ambassador to France, and pos
sibly with officials of the British
and French Embassies. He will re-
main here three days and will sail for
Europe in two or three weeks to
confer with government leaders
there on his suggestion.

Urges Modernization
OF Mortality Data
By Insurance Firms
Penn Mutual President
Would Gear Statistics
To Present Conditions
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The head of one of the Nations
largest life insurance companies
recommended yesterday that an at
tempt be made to modernize the
6O-year -old mortality statistics on
which life insurance premium rates
are currently based so that they
would reflect more accurately pres
sent-day conditions.
John A. Stevenson, president of
the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Co.,
Philadelphia, made the suggestion
in a statement to the press supple
menting testimony before the Mo-
nopoly Committee.
Because the average American
lives longer than he did when the
tables were computed, his testi-
mony showed, amounts collected for
mortality have been considerably in
excess of those needed to meet death
claims in recent years.
A committee computation placed
at 1856, 942, 900 the amount which
the rs largest legal reserve life in
surance companies gained from this
source in the decade l929-38.
Mr.. Stevenson commended, how
ever. that the mortality table made
little difference because the excess
was returned to polcyholders in
dividends, except in cases where
policies lapsed before holders were
entitled to dividends.
Personally" he said in his state
ment, Il am in favor of co-opera-
ton between the life insurance COM
panies and the State insurance de-
partments to determine the propriety
OF adopting modern experience
table as to the mortality factor in
life insurance premiums

n Street Parking Ban
Protested by Citizens

The parking ban on the south side
of N street from Wisconsin avenue
to Twenty ninth street NV. was
protested last night by the George
town Businessmen Association at
it's meeting in the Birch & Sons

the TRAFFIC Department with the
suggestion that the restriction be
placed only from 7:30 am. to 9 am.
on the south side, and from 4 pm.
to pm. on the north side.
The association asked that the
traffic light at Wisconsin avenue and
M street NV. be hand-controlled to
speed traffic, especially during rush
hours. The continuation of Prospect
avenue through Wisconsin avenue to
Olive street NV. was asked to per-
NIT an easier flow of traffic in this
section.
The importance of large men,
bership in any organization working
for the good Of the community In
which it is located was stressed by

National Disunity'
Under New Deal Hit
By. Senator Bridges
Oklahoma Speech Cites
LincoIn's Struggle to
Preserve Nation
by the Associated Press.

ENID, Okla, Feb. Ex-senator
Bridges of New Hampshire, a Re-
publican presidential aspirant, as
serted last night that the struggle
of Abraham Lincoln to preserve the
Union was in direct contrast to "the
accomplishment of the New Deal in
dividing it."
What mockery it is that the New
Dealers should express their adj
miration for a man who gave his
life for national unity" Mr. Bridges
said, when national disunity has
been the achievement of the New
Deal"
The Senator spoke at a Lincoln
Day banquet held a day late to
permit him to be present. He ad-
dressed Republican rally Monday
night in Oklahoma City.
Seeds of Hatred Sown."
Mr.. Bridges declared the Roose-
welt administration, by taking from
some and giving to Others" had di-
vided the people into those who
have and those who have not"
THUS we have sown the seeds
of jealousy and hatred and have
reaped a harvest of suspicion and
diSSenSion"
Mr.. Bridges said lone of the most
curious phenomena of this policy
has been the New Deal compaign
against business and businessmen
as a group.
Investment Retarded"
added to a fundamental policy
of scarcity this hostility toward bust
ness has served further to retard in
vestment, Unemployment and ex-
pansion in industry. It has helped to
restrict purchasing power and thus
to keep farm prices down."

&c. c.-Grants Permi'
To Construct New
Radio Station Here
Heller Plant to Use
1910 KiIocyeIes; Sites
Not Yet Definite

The Federal Communications
Commission yesterday granted a
construction permit for new radio
broadcast station here to Lawrence
j. Heller, 1876 Thirteenth street NV,
who at the same time received a
permit. for an amplifier or booster
station.
The construction permit is subject
to the issuance of a license to OPP
crate when the apparatus is COM
pleted.
The station is to use a frequency
of 1910 kilocycles, the one station
VOL held before it adopted a re-
gional frequency. The power of the
new station will be $50 watts and will
have unlimited time on the air.
Tentative sites for the transmitter
and studio have been suggested to
the commission as in the vicinity
of Eleventh and G streets and the
location of the booster station has
been tentatively fixed as the vicinity
Of Wisconsin avenue and River road.
Mr.. Heller said today that the
station would be put on the air as
quickly as possible, but added that
there was no definite determination
yet as to locations.
The booster station is intended to
give coverage on the 1,310-kilocycle
frequency to the northwest section
of the city and the metropolitan
district of Montgomery County. It
is an automatic apparatus which
picks up the signal from the main
station and rebroadcasts it.
An earlier application of Mr..
Heller was turned down by the
commission without prejudice" be-
cause of technicaity. The appli-
cation was contested strongly by
Station VOL. When the matter
came up for a second time before
the commission it was decided to
grant it without further hearing,
on the ground that the applicant
had proved the need for a local
station here during the hearings
on the original application.
