Per Copito Earnings
OfSl,l7e Reported
For Lost Year
~ The Associated Press.

.
NEW YORK, April 1.-Earnings
per person in the District of Colum-
bia and three Southern States last
year exceeded those of the boom
year, 1929, the National Industrial
Conference Board, Inc, reported.
The District of Columbia, with an
average per capita income of $l,l79.
was noted by the research organiza- =
tion as highest ranking in the
Nation. The average was So more
than in 1929.
The States to surpass the 1929
level were Virginia, averaging S408
per capita in 1910; Louisiana, aver
aging $500, and South Carolina, 1926.
1t was pointed out that these in
comes were based on 1910 census
figures and show the average for
every man, woman and child. The
average United States family is 3.8
persons.
After the District of Columbia
with the largest per capita incomes
in 1910 were Connecticut, $818: New
York, $816; Delaware. $3.50; Nevada,
$771, and California, S734.
Fourteen other States had per
capita income greater than the
countrys average of s546, which
compared with $500 person in 1919,
at the end of the World War. S655 in
1929, and 1886 in 1888, the depth Of
the depression. These States were
Massachusetts,, New Jersey, Illinois,
Rhode Island, Wyoming, Ohio, Mich
igan. Washington. Maryland. Penn
sylvania, Oregon. Wisconsin, Mon
tana and Minnesota.
New York State, as always, re-
ceived the largest portion of the
Nations total income. 1873 per cent,
and combined with the other Middle
Atlantic States of New Jersey and
Pennsylvania to receive 275 per
cent of the realized national income.
The East North Central division
Of Ohio, Indiana. Illinois. Michigan
and Wisconsin ranked second with
226 per cent.
The board cautioned: States re-
ported as having the highest per
capita incomes may have their fig
ures inflated to some extent by the
inclusion of incomes earned by per-
sons working, but not living, in those
particular States. This imitation
would also apply in the District of
Columbia, (which is credited with
the incomes Of many persons who
actually reside in Virginia or Mary
land"

The plan, one AAos IL
of the first to provide retirement in
come for men compensated through
commissions, has resulted from
study of the many aspects OF the
problem over a period OF several
years. Mr.. Parkinson said. 1t will go
into effect today.
The plan. in the opinion OF the
Board of Directors, is one OF the
most important forward steps toward
improving service to policyholders
that has been taken by the society
in years." said Mr. Parkinson. "On
its face it represents readJust-
ment of the financial relationships
of the society and its agents. Funda-
mentally it is directed to the estab-
hshment of a sounder basis for
policyholder service.
Compensation to agents has
been readjusted to give recognition
to their continuing responsibility to
service policyholders by spreading
commissions over the premium pay
ing life of the contract.
The plan is in line with the pur-
poses voiced by the superintendent
of insurance of New York and other
States and widely recognized by the
business as desirable of achieve
ment.
This readjustment in commits
sions," said Mr.. Parkinson. should
have a beneficial effect on both the
persistency and quality of the busi-
ness written and should encourage
agents to make life insurance a
career. Continuance of commissions
and the retirement income plan will
contribute elements of stability and
permanence to the profession OF
selling and servicing life insurance
that were not present under the
old system"

rectly or indirectly 5 per cent or
more Of the voting stock.

Steel Concerns Start
Quarter Without
Price Action
Policies to Depend
On U. S. Steel Labor
Negotiations
1y the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April For the first
tirne in eight years steel consumers
today were without the benefit of
prices posted by large manufacturers
covering second quarter business.
The practice of posting quarterly
prices was instituted under the old
National Recovery Administration in
1888
Carnegie Illinois Steel Corp,
largest subsidiary of United States
Steel Corp. and leader in the price
field, maintained silence, but reliable
quarters said the reason for the lack
of prices was the negotiations going
on between the Steel Workers Or
ganizing Committee and the COM
pany looking toward new contract
to replace the one expiring April g.
The union has asked for higher
wages. The price of steel in the
future might be affected by action
on this request.
AS far as could be learned, other
manufacturers both large and small,
have kept in the background await
ing action by Carnegie
Put on Day-to-Day Basis.
Some large customers of steel con-
Germs said they had been told quota
tions would be on day-to-day basis
until something broke one way or
the other out of the Carnegie
Illinois-union conferences. Contin-
uance of present quotations until
advised to the contrary was the rule
in most cases.
1t was pointed out, however, that
prices for the second quarter of l941
already virtually had been estab-
lished because the majority of steel
makers have booked tonnages that
will require the entire three-month
period or longer to turn out, and at
prices that governed in the first
quarter.
The industry, meanwhile, is max
ing steel at nearly 100 per cent of
capacity. The American Iron and
Steel Institute estimated yesterday
output this week would be at 99.2
per cent, a drop of 06 of a point
from the preceding week. Steel cir
cles said the lessened production was
due almost entirely to letups for re-
pairs occasioned by the effort to
turn out metal at an even faster
pace.

Riggs Sees Winner Seag Next National Champion
Amateur Lightweight
Championship Up 10
.Vernon-Thomas Go
Clash Of Golden Gloves,
A. A. U. Leaders Tops
Next Weeks Card

The battle of the century, as far
as amateur ringmen are concerned,
will be fought next Monday night
at Turner's Arena between Red
Vernon, pride of Southwest WASH
ington, and Walter Buddy
Thomas, the suburban slugger.
Two of the most promising young
sters to come along since George
Abrams, Steve Mamakos and Lou
Gevinson graduated from the ranks,
the pair headline another all-star
show of II bouts that shapes up as
gilt-edged attraction. The pick
of the towns talent has been selected
for the program. which is the
second in series sponsored by
the District A A. U. to needle fresh
interest into the sport.
The bout indisputably will settle
an unending wrangle over the city
amateur lightweight title as Vernon
holds the Golden Gloves crown and
Thomas, a newcomer to the f1stic
scene. is the A. A. U. title holder
An effort was made to match them
earlier this summer on card pre-
sented by the Prince Georges Police
Boys Club, but for some reason it
failed to materialize.
There will be little to choose be-
tween the two, for both are clever
ring generals and stiff punchers.
Thomas, coached by his father,
RAT" Thomas, veteran of pro-
fessional rings, may have trif1e
more dynamite in his mitts, but
hardly enough to give him a decided
edge. Vernon not only absorbs
punishment well. but also can ladle
it out with both dukes when the
going is stormy.
Larry Baldwin, who scored the
lone knockout registered on the
A. A. US initial show a couple
of weeks ago, will try to make 1t
two in row at the expense of
Billy Francis, Red Shield Boys
Club scrapper. This time Baldwin
may come cropper, for Francis,
although not well known to the
general public. is rising young star
and thoroughly capable with his
mittS. Even if he loses he'll give
Baldwin a run for the marbles.

light will be on George Woolf, one
of the better jockeys. in the rich
Arlington Classic for 3-year-olds
Saturday.
Woolf has been chosen to ride
Warren Wrights speed demon,
Whirlaway, in place of Eddie Arcaro,
who now is under suspension in the
East. Arcaro was aboard in all of
the Wright entry's important vic
tories this season.

ker Corning's Attention. trained by
Max Hirsch. The other three are
Royce G. Martins Our Boots. R. w.
Mc1lvaines BuShWhacker and Mrs.
Vera S. Bragg's Blue Pair.
WhirlaWay naturally will be a
heavy favorite, but there's always
the possibility the champion will
revert to his old habit of turning
wide on the turns. Arcaros expert
riding prevented him from doing
this, but whether Woolf can handle
the speedster as we'll is the big
