Fire Insurance
Rate Cut 10 Save
City 100000

Detroiters will save more than
100000 yearly under the proposal
Of Gov. Murray d. Van Wagner
and Mayor Edward J. Jeffries TO
reduce residential fire insurance
rates in Detroit by Is per cent, a
survey indicated today.
With nearly 100000 single or
double dwellings. most of them
fully insured, the savings to citi-
zens will more than justify the
long fight for reduced insurance
rates.
GOVERNOR ASKS INQUIRY
The governor also asked an in
quiTy be started TO determine
whether the reduction should not
be increased to 30 or IS per cent.
Commenting upon the proposed
rate reduction, Frank German OF
the German and Thomas lnSur-
ance agency, said:
Detroit fire insurance rates
now are much lower than those
OF most major cities"
1.-THE proposed rate cut would
therefore save policy holders
slightly over 81 on n $4,000
policy for a three-year period.
IL the Insurance companies can
safely absorb this Is per cent
cut L certainly am not opposed
TO the idea"
Some insurance companies ex'
pressed a different attitude. q
representative of one declaring:
There isn't any bowling de-
mand for q rate reduction. The
proposal would apply only to
residences and not to CONNER
cial buildings. The whole thing
looks like a political maneuver
on the part OF the governor"

BY VERA BROWN

To most people Detroit has
population of 100000.
But not 10 Harry l.. Shearer oi

means.
ALL ASKED TO COOPERATE
Said Walker today:
This subversive population
must 20. We operate IL carbon
monoxide wagons at present
throughout the city. These visit
hundreds OF locations weekly to
extermiuate rats In alleys.
Everybody must cooperate.
IN you wish to you may use the
carbon monoxide method on
your own alley. Just plug up
the big rat holes, run hose
from the exhaust Of your car
into one end and II IN curtains
for the rats"
Walker also pointed out that
there is a rat poison harmless tc
other animals which will similarly
do the trick. He added:
I'VE are spending $4,000
year on rat determination. IL
ouseholders would cooperate
We could get rid OF the sub
versive rat population"
Said Doctor Douglas:
Each year we have In the
city several cases OF small chill
dren bitten by rats. This year
40 far I believe Children's Hos
pitaI have had four cases, two
Of which developed into rat
fever"
Doctor Douglas pointed out that
In one case a baby spent 81 days
in the hospital with rat fever. an
other patient IS days and the
treatment is long and tedious.
Most of the children bitten
were sleeping in cribs on porches
or lawns when injured.
Receiving Hospital reports four
cases OF rat bite this year.

 FAMOUS STORY

 Story of Scandal

The mcmentous first meeting of the screens greatest dramatic stars, Bette Davis and Charles Boyer, takes place in All This And Heaven Tee" Warner Bros. screen adapta- ten of the world-applauded novel by Rachel Field. The film has its first local showing at the 20th Gen. tury Theatre tonight and tomorrow
 The tsaming of Miss Davis and Boyer brings together two of film dcm's greatest dramatic stars in a stcry which, although it is an &C., tual record of events which took place almost a hundred years ago, might have been written just to fit them. So pleased was author Rachel Field with their performances that she wrote: T feel that the screen version is not only the book as wrcte it but a projection of the characters themselves, heightened by the art of Miss Davis and MT. Boy CT"
 All This And Heaven, Too" is the highly dramatic story of little French goyerness. seemingly destined for life of spinsterhood, who be- came the storm-center of a Parisian murder scandal which shook Europe nearly a century ago, but who sur vived the ordeal to find peace and happiness in America.

MURRAY KNUCKLES UNDER

Lewis also was aware that talk ing Local 544 into the CIO folo may mean ferocious Jurisdiction al war with the AFL, making the Northwest a bloody battlefield.
 Second significant move was Mur- rays surprise statement opposing a Red purge.
 This was complete reversal of the stand he took in the Inglewood and Cleveland strikes, and it was forced by Lewis. Murray issued his statement after secret pow-WoW with John L. in his ornate Mine Worker office. The statement was written by Len DeCaux, leftist pub licity agent, who is high on the CIO list for purging.
 NOTE-Murray has been bonn barded with protests from GIG leaders in the Northwest warning him that the chartering of Local 544 spells the end of the CIO in that section.

WILDLIFE RESTORATION
 AID BILL PASSES HOUSE

The House of Representatives on June Il passed the bill, H. R. 587, to extend to Alaska, Hawaii, Puer- to Rico and the Virgin Islands the legislation now effective to aid the States in wildlife-restoration pro- jects.
 The funds which are used in the program of wildlife-restoration pro- jects are derived from certain spec ial taxes levied on arms and am- munition used in hunting. The e taxes have been applicable in the territories and possessions, but the present law fails to make provision for the territories and possessions to cooperate in the program on the same basis as the several states.

the CIO if Lewis doesn't side with them. But if he does, a major war breaking the CIO wide open will be necessary.
 Lewis answer is that he is solid ly behind the left-wingers and against their burgers. He made his answer in two highly significant moves:
 First, was the announcement by A. D. cDenny'D Lewis, his young CT brother, that the United Con- struction Workers. which Denny heads, had issued a charter to the powerful Minneapolis teamsters un- ion, Local 544. Led by the Dunn brothers, Miles and Vincent, known in Minnesota as adherents of the Trotskyite Socialist Workers Party. Local 544 was on the verge of being purged by AFL teamster boss Dan Tobin when it bolted to the CIO.
 Now Denny Lewis United Con struction Workers is little more than a paper union and would fold up overnight if not supported by CIO funds. When John l.. was CIO president, the union received d monthly subsidy of $20,000; but when Phil Murray became presi- dent he cut this to $10000 q month. Inside CIO word is that John l.. is making up the $10,000 difference cut of United Mine Worker funds.
 Further, Denny Lewis issued his charter :. to the teamster local 0n the approval of brother John l.. and without consulting Murray. And John L. did this directly after Murray's denunciation of the left ist-instigated outlaw strikes at In-

 He was covering from Trenton. When the body of the child was found, New Jersey State Police sent word to the press in Trenton that they had an important story to release, at the garage of the Lindbergh estate at Hopewell.
 The newsmen all set off-except one. Frank Jamieson had hunch, While the others drove out of Trenton, Jamieson remained be- hind. He picked up the telephone and called the home of Governor Moore in Jersey City. He knew Moore. lie asked him to call the State Police at HopeWell and find out what the news was. No one but the Governor could get a phone cal through to the police in the Lind bergh home.
 Moore was willing. He called tht police, learned that the body hat been found, and relayed the new. to Jamieson, who flashed it tt his office. Thus he was able tt get the story into print while hi: colleagues were still driving ovel the roads to Hopewell.
