Taft Charges Federal
Move 10 'Strane|e'
Insurance Firms
Sees Bill to Regulate
Investment Trusts as
Excellent Precedent
BY the Associated Press


CHARLESTON. w. Va, April 90
Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio said
last night there is a clear indica-
ton the Federal Government pro-
poses sooner or later to strangle"
life insurance companies with bu-
reaucratic regulations"
The Republican presidential as
pirant told the State Association of
Life Underwriters. in a prepared
address the pending bill to regu-
late investment trusts was "an ex-
cellent precedent for Federal regu-
lation Of insurance companies"
Stating the New Deal philosophy
which dominates the Government
at Washington is hostile to life
insurance" the Senator continued :
ut has started a so-called in
surance plan of its own in the old
age pension title of the Social
Security Act. The only trouble is
that it doesn't perform any of the
best functions of life insurance.
Compulsory saving, through the
pay roll tax, he said discourages
thrift. which must be voluntary
or it is not thrift"
The social security plan, he went
on. does not perform the invest
ent function Of life insurance.
"Th. reserve is invested only in
Government honds." he said. THAT
is, the Government loans itself the
money collected and spends the
money to pay current deficits"

700-ship merchant fleet Is entitled

Scandinavian country on April 9,
declared 1t could not recognize the
validity. under international law"
Of the British contention that DAN
ish vessels are prizes Of war and
subject to seizure.
The committee contended that the
invasion gave Germany no right or
power over Danish vessels outside
the invaded territory and these
ships therefore we're free of any
.bclligerent status.
Since the war spread to Scandi-
navia. Danish ships have been
ordered to neutral harbors and it
appeared that they would remain in
them pending further study of the

beating of men picked up by the
strong-arm squad:
well, the first thing we would
do, we would search them and find
out if they had any Identification
belonging to union of any kind, or
where they were from. or what they
belonged to. and gave them good
talk, and worked over some of them,
ones that we had under suspicion
of being a union man, or if they
had cards on them"
@. What do you mean give them
a working over?'"
A. I'VE would whip them, beat
them up"
Q. With what?"
A. Put the fear of God in them
as they put it,
G. What would you whip them
with?"
A. Some with fists, some with
blackjacks."
@. Anything else?"
A. "One or two of them we
whipped with a regular whip we had
made out of rubber wind cord, and
some of them-one of them was
whipped, according to whether we
thought he could take it or not, was
whipped with brushes off of trees,
limbs"
Another Beating Described.
The Examiner said this was the
general procedure followed by the
squad in an attack on Richard Sow.
ers, a Kansas City Ford plant work.
er, in October, 1887.
Sewers applied at the Dallas plant
for a job, Mr.. Denham said, and
while he was making out an appli-
cation, one Of the alleged squad
members put the point of a gun in
Sewers ribs and asked him if he was
member Of the c. I. o.
The testimony, according to the
Examiner, showed that Sewers de-
MED being member of the C. 1. O.,
but that he was taken out anyway
to place near White Rock Lake and
beaten into "a semi-conscious state. /"
Mr.. Denham's report of the Dallas
hearing also included testimony of
an attack on George Baer of Haver-
hill, Mass. an organizer for the
United Hatters, Cap and Millinery
Workers Union. Baer was in Dallas
organizing millinery workers. The
examiner said there had been testi-
r1lony that Inspector Welch" of the
Dallas police called the Ford
squads attention to Baer as a man
who had been making considerable
trouble by attempting to organize
the millinery industry. Welch denied
this. but the examiner said 1t was
| probably true.
