BLACKALL ASKED
 TO SERVE AGAIN
National Insurance Com. missioners President Ac.
 cepts Second Term

John c. Blackall of Hartford state insurance commissioner and a former resident of this city, was prevailed upon to accept a second term as president of the National Association of Insurance Cominis- sloners at their annual business ses- sion yesterday in Detroit.
 Commissioner Blackall discussed in his annual report the result oi conferences with governmental rep- resentatives and situations created through tho national defense effort With reference to a feeling on the part of the government that 1t should be considered differently from ordinary customers Comitns- sioner Blaekall said:
 "As a member of the bar, must concede the strength of the gov erfment's position. There are a great many things in life which we may not entirely agree with but which might be futile to oppose in these days in the light of the rapid changes that are going on every day. I assume that any discussion at this convention along those lines must be tempered with aia appre- ciation of the point Of view Of the man on whose shoulders suddenly and almost out Of c clear sky tre- tnendous responsibilities have been placed because our nation has at last been shocked into c sense of realism"
 The calling of youth for defense training imposes problems for the life insurance industry, both as to riders and sources of new business, Commissioner Blackall said:
 "Even were not war imminent, it would be problem enough; but witt, the future so uncertain, we must not snatch the future from the lap of time In volunteering our advices to the life underwriters but we, at least, should indicate to them that 1t gives us as much concern as 1t gives them.
 "The competition In the fire field remains keen and I nm satisfied that for the time being, there is suf- flcient capital in that business to handle the direct writing. Whether this is true in view of the interna- tional situation as regards reinsurs ance is Q matter on which my mind is e little In doubt. Casualty busi- ness could stand some more capital but 1t still, In my opinion, offers evidence of almost unlimited ex- pansion.
 "In the life field, the real estate situation has very definitely im- proved but the investment picture ultimately has not been clarified. To me, the most significant address at the life executives meeting in New York was that of the Honorable Jesse Jones, chairman of the Re- construction Finance Corporation which, In substance, was that the days of low interest rates are prob- ably with us for Q substantial pe- siod of time."

FATHER, SON ARE
 FOUND IN WRECK

San Diego, Cal, June l0.--CUP)-- Joaquin Miranda, Mexican cus- tons official, and his l0-year old son, were trapped five days beneath q wrecked automobile, and the father was on the verge of using the last two bullets in his gun to end their agony, when they were rescued, 1t was learned today.
 An army patrol, search for two missing officers-Lieuts. Robert E, Maxwell, 25, and Howard D. Weth. erell, 22-found Miranda and his son, Manuel, yesterday at the base of Q 2o0-foot cliff in an isolated sec- ton.
 Miranda said his automobile skidded off the cliff five days ago. His arm was crushed and the boys leg was pinned by the wreckage.
 Almost hysterically, the father told how they had suffered, and hungered. He said they screamed for help and fired pistol shots, sav- ing the last two bullets "in case help did not come in time."
 Ills son pleaded with him to am- putate his leg with a pocket knife, he said, but he refused, "because I didn't think I could do such a thing to my own son."
 Physicians at Camp Lockett army hospital said they would recover.

oil per ton of cottonseed and re. duced power ard fuel costs 25 per cent. In that discovery alone the South was saved $5,OO0, ,OOO annually, and now the pressure cooker is in use in many states.
 Other research is under way, including work on protein extrac- tion. Experiments elsewhere have shown that the protein obtained from cottonseed may be spun into a fabric of almost the same qual- ity and appearance as wool. It may also be used as the base of a casein, calcimine- like paint.
 POSSIBLE ANSWER TO
 ECONOMIC PROBLEM
 Through these and other develop. ments, Research Director John F. Leahy sees Q strong possibility of cottonseed replacing cotton as the south's chief product.
 If the South should be forced to reduce it's cotton crop and os- gin growing other crops, the South would come into con1peti- ton with other sections" he said Tt is incumbent on the South to make the best possible readjust- ment in Its agriculture without too greatly apsetting tho economic situation in other agricultural areas. The profitable use of cottonseed may be the answer to the problem of surplus and Idle acres."
