Permanent Protection"

The Prudential Life Insurance
Company still sticks to the belief
that it "has the strength of Gibral-
tar, and we hope it is even strong
er, than the famous rock. Never
theless, there is. a good deal OF un-
easiness over the. gradually weak
ening spirit of cooperation between
Federal and State governments and
the insurance companies.
Permanent protection as guaran-
teed through life insurance poll
cies for the best part of century,
is somewhat in doubt. Insurance
companies are not successful COM
petitors with the. Federal Govern
ment, or with local banks. Insur-
ance executives still think that they
can loan the money that belongs to
their holders to the same policy
holders for 6, per cent interest
even though the policy holders can
take the same policy around to
their bank and borrow money on II
at per cent.
That's just one instance wherein
permanent. protection" falls into
the doubtful column, because its
"the rule" or something that
hasn't been changed since Charles
Evans Hughes was Governor of
New York, and drove a horse-and-
buggy, and put the spot on defects
in insurance companies that exist
ed iii those times.

FEDERAL LICENSES
FOR CORPORATIONS

Senator O'Mahoney takes the, ,po-
sition in summing-up the three
years of fact-inding inquiries of
the Temporary National Economic
Committee, of which he is chair
man, that the Federal Government
should license, all corporations do
ing, an Interstate business. Before
the TNEC was born Senator O'Ma-
honey had a bill hanging fire in the
Senate for exactly that purpose.
When he got-going with the Mono
poly Committee he arranged with
the late Senator Borah to call his
proposal the Borah-O Mahoney
bill, to strengthen its chances.
Senator O'Mahoney seems to
have played pretty good politics
inasmuch as he is now in position
to show that the Monopoly Com
mittee bestows its praise and bless
ings on the proposal to switch these

CARDINALS DEFEAT
WILMINGTON COMBINE

Last week was a banner one for
the Milford Cardinals" Crushing
victories over the Millsboro Colts
and the Lewes Pirates" practical
ly assured the "Red Birds" of their
third consecutive clean-sweep OF
the lower Delaware loop, while
theil trouncing Of st. Elizabeth's
of the Wilmington Catholic League
provided a fitting climax. :
On Tuesday, the Milford club
jcprneyed to Millsboro for what
promised to be a close contest with
their nearest competitors, but the
victors offehse was SO deadly as
to leave the Colts" gasping under
a 44-24 defeat. ~

Thursday night, the Cardinals
welcomed to Milford st. .EliZabeth's
an outstanding member of the
Catholic League of Wilmington, by
giving them the most decisive de-
feat of their brief career. The "Red
R9iders" never seriously threaten
ed at any time, while the devastat-
ing attack of Griffith and Conoway
l32 points, ably supported by the
splendid work of Lynch, Cunning,
Palmer and Hudson left no doubt
as to, the outcome of a swell game.
Captain Flash" Griffith played
the greatest game of his career
his 8 field goals, his uncanny de-
fensive work, plus his superb floor
generalship, mark him as one of
the outstanding players in Della
