DERHAPS YOU HAVE WONDERED what life
l. insurance company does with the money
you pay as premiums on your policy.
Maybe you have thought of this money as
being put away under lock and key. But, ac-
tually, that part of it known as reserves,
which is not needed for current claims and
expenses, is invested with other funds for the
benefit of policyholders. If this were not the
case, your life insurance premiums would be
higher because, when the Company calcu-
lates your premiums, it assumes that the re-
serves will be invested to produce a stated
rate of interest. The reserves must be in
creased by this rate of interest each year the
policy is in force.
- Therefore, the money representing such
reserves is put to work in many forms of
human endeavor and in all parts of the
United States and Canada.
And if you could take trip from coast to
coast, you would see public schools, hydro
electric plants farms, homes, Office build
ings, DAMS sewer systems, hospitals, and
highways in which life insurance funds have
played an important part.
Life insurance dollars, invested in federal
and municipal bonds, for instance, are busily
at work all over the United States and Can
ada, helping to finance new bridges, better
roads, modern school buildings, and host
of other public Improvements

the highest rate of interest consistent with
security of principal, for any interest earned
in excess of the rate assumed as the basis
for the premium may further reduce the cost
of your life insurance through dividends In
the meantime, your life insurance dollars are
also playing an important part in the social
and economic structure of the nation.

LONDON, July ia reliable
foreign source said today the Rus

machine already was such that it
was improbable the Germans could

troops to the eastern front and the
mere problem of reaSsembling them
into invasion armies in the west
would take minimum of six weeks

These. he said, do not exist be-
cause of two factors, "one, the heavy
losses of men and material inflicted
by the Russians and, two, the DAM
age to communicat tions and bases in
Western Germany and along the
invasion coast inflicted by the

b the Associated Press.

Arthur j. Altmeyer, chairman of
the Social Security Board today
sought liberalization of his agency s
program TO provide for health in
surance and abandonment of the
present system of equal contrlbu-
tions by State and Federal Govern
ments for public assistance.
Mr. Altmeyer told a House COM

security program, but that there
still was need of a plan covering
the risk of i'll health. He said that

AS to the question of $3.50 State

said this had worked hardship on
some of the poorer States. He sug-
gested the State contributions
should vary according to capacity
to pay.

Mr.. Altmeyer commented that
when the defense program arose
some said there was no need for fur
ther advancement of social gains.
Then he remarked that under SINH
lar circumstances Great Britain had
liberalized and extended its social
security program and added;
That is what Britain has done
when Britain was up against bombs.
I'VE have made good beginning

today, but they predicted that fu-

Shortages are threatening in the
fields OF scrap iron, scrap steel and
waste paper-all of which, like
aluminium, are vitally needed in
defense production.
Shortage Of Metal Scrap.
Representatives of the scrap iron
and steel industry met here re-
Gently with officials of the o. P. M.
and the Office of Price Administra-
tion and Civilian Supply, and it was
revealed that shortages are so ex-
tensive that it may be necessary
to commander unnecessarily large
stocks of these metals that some
concerns have accumulated.
And the waste paper situation
shows evidence of growing short
age" o. P. A. C. S. Administrator
Leon Henderson asserted yester-
day in appealing to householders
throughout the Nation to avoid
thoughtless destruction of news
papers, magazines, paper boxes and
wrappings that might be collected
and converted into paper board for
packing defense shipments.
To Rely on Trade.
O. P. M. officials forecast fatty,
however, that future waste ma
terial collection campaigns will be
conducted through ordinary trade
channels, with dealers operating on
no-profit or low profit basis. and
not through shipping collections
directly to reprocessing plants as
is planned in the case of aluminium.
They pointed out that both Eng
land and Canada handle their scrap
collections through normal business
channels. And they stated further
that they believed the waste ma
terials industry. which now employs
about 10000 persons, affords the
most efficient means of collecting,
sorting and shipping discarded
metal or paper on a long term
basis.

BALTIMORE, July le.-The mas

Home after a South Atlantic ad-

Moor's destruction May 81, of his
rescue after Is days at sea in an
open lifeboat and expressed the be-
lief that submarine operating from
Dakar, French West Africa, sent his
ship to the bottom.
In support of the opinion, Capt.
Myers told how the submarine COM
mander passed supplies of bread and
butter to the SurviVors-and bottle
of brandy TO the captain-before
finally shelling the Robin Moor.
The apparent plentitude of sup
plies, along with the fact that no
supplies were transferred from the
Robin Moor to the submarine, indl-
Gated that a reasonably close base
was at hand, Capt. Myers said.
"I looked at the chart" he com
mented. "and the closest base l
could figure for her was Dakar."
The captain said, too, that the
submarine did not appear TO have
been long at sea; the hull paint was
in fair condition and a laughing
cow insignia on the coming tower
had been freshly painted. Nor did
the hull have seaweed collections or
/ barnacles.

their three children-who never lost
hope that their husband and father
was safe-Capt. Myers, speaking
with regret in his voice called the
Robin Moor the best ship I ever
had"
But after two weeks vacation. he
wants another command, and says
