Wagner Urges Extension

{ Legislation now pending in Con-
gress to extend provisions OF the
Social Security Act to IS 900 900 per-
sons not covered now should be
amended to assure complete protec-
ton of the existing pension rights
of public employees, Senator Wagner,
Democrat, of New York declared
yesterday in telegram to President
William Green of the American
Federation of Labor.
Senator Wagner was asked by
the A. r. of L. last week to hold the
bill in allegiance until conferences
conld be held to determine whether
amendments are needed to safe
guard pension plans of public en-
ployes.
"The essential objective of the bill
n, of course, to extend old age pro-
tsction to the millions who do not
now enjoy its benefits, including the
100000 public employees through
out the country who are not now
covered by a pension plan of any
kind, as well as those who move in
or out of employment covered by
such a plan" Senator Wagner said
in his telegram.

Damage Clauses Waived
To Speed Defense Work
Dy the Associated Pres

Dy the Associated Press.
The Justice Department said yes
terday that Government depart
ments had agreed to cooperate in
speeding important defense con-
tracts by waving nquidated damage
clauses In certain other contracts.
Liquidated damage clauses pro-
vide penalties against contractors
when contracts are not completed as
scheduled.
The agreement followed q letter
from President Roosevelt to heads Of
Government departments saying
that instances have arisen where
potential contractors have been hes
liant to accept Army or Navy pref
erence rated contracts because such
contractors are already working on
other Government contracts which
contain liquidated damage clauses"
Mr.. Roosevelt added that unless
industry is assured that delays
caused by the acceptance of and
compliance with preference rated
contracts will not result in attempts
by the Government to collect penal
ties. the procurement of materials
necessary to the defense program
may be unduly retarded"

Second Marne' Seen
In Nazi Failure 10
Cross Channel
Axis Partners Seek to
Offset in East Their
Deadlock in West
Nv KIRKE L. SIMPSON.

The second World War was only
at days old as October ended, but
Il already has carved . grisly trail
Of destruction and disaster, across
continb entail Europe unmAtched IN
recorded history.
Nation after nation has succumbed
10 force or threats. some have lost
their national identity. More than
10000 ,O0o jewellers on that continent
have been brought under the DOM
ination of alien masters. Half a
million square miles of territory are
under alien flags.
Yet the essential fact of the war
at this time is that Britain's island
fortress remains unconquered and
the bulldog grip of the British Navy
remains unbroken on all the deep
seas that wash the shores of tragic
Europe.
Nazi-Fascist expectancy Of a short
var is a shattered dream after IA
months of comet. And while Britain
endures, the axis-mapped new order
In Europe remains also an unrealized
dream.
Deadly Menace for Axis.
There is a deadly menace for the
axis In the long war for which the
European stage is being reset.
Britain still has to reap the full
benefit of her sea power, still has to
attain the peak of her war effort.
Victory slipped from the grasp of
Imperial Germany in 1914 at the
Marine. 1t may have just been
missed by Nazi Germany and Fascist
italy at the English Channel in 1910
The axis partners are urgently seek
ing means to Offset in the east the
deadlock that confronts them in
the west.
That has brought little Greece
into peril of a fate similar to that
suffered by upward of dozen other
continental nations and peoples
since Germany struck at Poland on
September l, 1889.
Yet that fresh axis aggression,
whatever its ultimate strategic
meaning, has done something else.
It has given Britain footholds at
the back door of the continent to
carry the war to her foes. -Four
months ago with British evacuation
Of Narvik and Dunkirk, she had been
driven completely from the main
land of Europe.
Offensive Role Indicated.
British bombing, of Naples in
Southern Italy indicates it is an
offensive, not a defensive role, which
Britain will attempt in the East. In
the past, she has sporadcally
bombed Northern Italy. attacking
from England and across the Swiss
Alps. Presumably the attack on
Naples came from eastward, not
westward.
British planes may have hoped to
that target from airplane carriers
in the Mediterranean, or from bases
on Crete or other Greek islands.
From Crete, Naples is within easy
bombing distance. So also is the
southern end of the Rumanian oil
field, Nazi guarded and therefore
open to British attack. That was a
risk Italy took in attacking Greece.
Only time will tell whether Brit
ain can follow through in force to
seize the opportunity There is no
question, however, that the first
fruit of Italys new thrust is to open
q back door to the two most vul-
nerable points in axis armor-Ital-
ian public morale and Rumanian
oil. For that reason, the 18th month
OF the war could more clearly in
dictate its outcome than all the stun
ming events of the IA months that
preceded it.

hhSOCldleQ HTeSS FINANCIAL writer.
NEW YORK, Dec. 5-Speculative
timidity generally kept leading
stocks on a narrow ledge in today's
market and the net results we're
sketchy from the standpoint of
trends.
Fair-sized gains were tackled on
scattered favorites, but fractional
declines were well spread over the
list at the close.
Dealings were slow except for in
termittent speedups and transfers
for the full proceedings we're around
100000 shares.
Traders had plenty of good do
meStic news to go on although this
failed to provide much motivating
power for the majority of issues.
Helpful was the admission of Jesse
H. Jones, Secretary of Commerce
and Federal loan administrator,
that consideration was being given
to cutting the interest rate on rail-
way loans. Comfort also was de-
rived from Montgomery Ward and
Sears-Roebuck statements showing
brisk Improvement in October sales
over the 1889 month.
On the other hand, talk of peace
in the European war persisted, not
withstanding the British House of
Commons voted down labor pro-
posals for a settlement BY BAL to 4.
Wall Street feels that a sudden
cessation of hostilities might be an
extremely bearish market influence,
at least temporarily, if not in the
long run. The financial sector
awaited action Of Washington in
the matter of more and quicker aid
for the British, but few seemed will
ing to bet on just when or how this
would eventuate.
Stocks on the downside most of
the day included General Motors,
Chrysler, Boeing, Sperry, United
Airlines. Anaconda, International
nickel, Eastman Kodak, Loft, New
York Shipbuilding, Southern Rail-
way, Santa Fe and North American.
United States Steel and Bethle-
hem were up and down negligible
amounts at frequent intervals. Doing
better than others were Sears Roe
buck, American Smelling, Great
Northern, Pennsylvania, Du Pont,
Dow Chemical, J. l. Case, American
Telephone and United Aircraft.

Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Dec. 5.-Unwillingnes
of grain traders to venture far on
either the buying or selling sides of
the wheat market today kept prices
to a narrow groove.
Pit brokers blamed this hesitance,
which was more noticeable today
than it has been for some time, on
trade uncertainty regarding settle
ment of outstanding December
contracts involving approximately
5000 900 bushels. The deadlocked
status of the domestic supply and
demand situation, with producers
holding back grain and professors
and consumers taking only limited
quantities, also discouraged pit &C
tivity.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Jesse Jones.
Secretary of Commerce and Federal
loan administrator, complimented
the Nations life insurance companies
today on their methods of operation
and suggested to them: Keep
your houses SO clean there will be no
reason ever to require Federal super
vision"
He spoke before the Association
of Life Insurance Presidents in their
34th annual convention, outlining
the business position of the United
States.
THE economics of the country
is sound" he said. 1--WE have no
boom, and I hope we never will have
one with its attendant depression.
Remember, this is 1910 we are
living in; not 1920 or the 30's. We
are living in an era of change, and
We must adjust ourselves to it,
whether we like it or not.
1--WE have been thinking too much
of the New Deal, of the budget out
of balance. of the mounting Federal
debt We are prone to forget the
national income is rising. 1t must
advance still further before the bud
get can be balanced"

going to living policyholders and the
remaining sum disbursed in death
claims.
Touching on governmental finan-
cial problems, the insurance execu-
tive belittled any likelihood of dan
gerous inflationary tendencies in the
United States.
One of the reasons for this view, :"
he said, lis that our country luckily
possesses productive capacity, ma
tlonal wealth and other economic
resources sufficiently strong to make
it far more resistant to imitation
than were, for instance, some Euro
pean countries.
Another reason for that view is
that the Government of this country
has available much stronger positive
controls against imitation now than
were ever before available to it."

ance, Secretary Jones said: THE in
stitution of life insurance is regarded
almost as confidently by the Ameri-
can people as is the Government it
self.
1T is because of that belief in
the integrity and stability of life in
surance companies that you have
been permitted to conduct your bust
ness with so little Government super
supervision. Although there are
State regulations, no Federal agency
SuperviSeS life insurance.
This must not be taken as hints
that the Government contemplates
any supervision. but you would do
well to keep your houses so clean
there will be no reason ever to re-
qu1re Federal supervision.
The Federal Loan head said of
Government loan rates: 1--WE have
been considering reducing the rate
on railroad loans from per cent.
The railroads have been having a
hard time in view of their COMPETE
ton from airlines and motor trans
portation. The railroads are vital
