M. S. RukeySeT:

While activity in the stock
market and other investment
channels has been greatly mar
rowed by new federal reforms
and by inhibitions growing out
of depression conditions and
psychology, the institution of
life insurance has continued TO
be merchandised.
The rules hamper the selling
activities of customers men in
kerage offices, and the
volume of business has cor
respondingly declined.
Federal regulation and new
public attitudes have frowned
upon predepression Wall Street
manipulative techniques, which
nevertheless constituted a crude
form of merchandising. But in
eliminating unethical and high
pressured Wall Street mer-
chandising, the reform move
ment has only done the
destructive half of its job. The
other part is TO replace bad
merchandising with constructive
merchandising.
Although defeatists are MAX
ing n wholesale trek=e4t= of Wall
Street, there is an opportunity
10 devise new merchandising
techniuues, which will help to

Commenting on the mounting
sales and declining deliveries,
Bathrick explained that what
happened was that in January
and February 80 many cars
were delivered that we could
not build up inventories to the
customary level for Spring And
then in March and April we de-
livered more cars than we could
build. reducing existing inven-
tories one-third." The result is
that during May and June de-
liveries cannot be greater than
actual factory production. That

Life insurance agents used to
think that experience had long
since exhausted all the different
ways of having the door
slammed in their face, but two
staff members of the SEC in
their report on life insurance
to the TNEC found still one
more way. They berated over
selling and too much high pres

Dissenting from the vaudeville
thesis that the agent is a pest,
William J. Graham of the Equi-l

has taken up the cudgelS for
the harassed life underwater.
He has given expression 10 the
novel view that the agent is a
constructive citizen.

designed to meet varying needs
of lay investors.
Still another possibility is for
railroad, industrial and public
utility corporations to employ
advertising themselves to sell
the business as well as the
product" In thus using modern
methods TO give the public a
more favorable attitude toward
their company. such executives
will thus as a byproduct be help

Sales Consulfanfs

From the standpoint of sales
appeal. make no mistake OF the
fact that as substantial stocks
decline in price-to-earnings ratios
they become that much more at
tractive as long term hedges
against initiation.
Maybe the brokers and in
vestment dealers ought to call
in some super fife insurance
agents as sales consultants at
this time.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-04-23
CBy Democrat Legislative RepOrterI

State Capitol, Hartford, April 23 A favorable report on the revised milk control bill Is expected from the Senate and House agriculture committees following a public hear ing this afternoon. The revised bill, drawn up by a subcommittee, was yesterday highly praised by Gov. Robert A. Hurley.
 Gov. Hurley credited the sub- committee with doing "a very ef- fective job" and expressed the be- lief that enactment of the legisla- ton would stabilize the income Of thousands of farmers who are mem- bers of the $20,O00, 900 dairy indus- try in Connecticut.
 The text of Gov. Hurley's state ment on the milk control bill fol- lows:
 "A public hearing will be held on the draft of MIX Marketing Bill which has been approved by sub- committee of the State Administra- ton and Agriculture Committees of the Senate and the Agriculture Committee of the House. This sub- committee, appointed following the last public hearing on Senate Bill $40 which was the Milk Marketing bill which I approved in principle, has doEe a very effective job. The bill which the subcommittee has recommended for approval retains almost in entirety, the substance and fulfills all objectives embodied in Senate Bill $40. have stated re- peatedly that the purpose of any sound Milk Control Act is to assure the farmer under safeguards of due process reasonable price for his product so that an adequate sup ply of pure and wholesome milk may continue to be made available to the consumer. The original bill sought and the subcommittee bill achieves this goal. Public hearings on a proposed price structure for producers must be held. A record must be made upon which findings of fact are established. Everyone, including producers, dealers and consumers has a right and oppor- tunity to be heard. The fixing of

Revision Expected In

 Governor Comments Subcommittee

1 minimum prices to be paid by deal- CTS to farmers for their milk will be based on evidence in the light or standards set forth in the Act. Am- pie powers are given to the Admin istrator to assure the payment to the farmers of every cent to which they are entitled. Governmentally fixed minimum prices tC pc paid by consumers are abolished. The pub- lie will secure the benefit of open and honest competition. The sub- committee bill has protected the structure of the industry in prohi- biting unfair trade practices in the sale of milk whenever those prac- tices demoralize or threaten to de- moralize the industry by impairing the ability of dealers to pay their producers. Prohibiting unfair trade practices when they demoralize an industry is 8 far different thing than the establishment by gov- ernmental decree of fixed min imum retail prices. Tie latter can result only in freezing of inefficient cy and in denying to consumers the advantages arising from normal and fair competitive practices.
 Milk Control under the bill will no longer be west pocket regula- tion." It will be regulation for the benefit of the farmer and the con- Sumer. The fair-minded dealer has nothing to fear. Starting at the same competitive level as all other dealers, he no longer need fear that other dealers will secure a compe- titive advantage over him by un- derpayment to the farmer. The bill is based on procedure which has been sustained by the Supreme Court of the United States. Uncer- tainty in enforcement will, with the enactment of this bill, be a thing of the past.
 The dairy industry is $20,000, GOO industry in our State and upon its welfare is dependent the daily live lihood of thousands of our farmers. My objective in seeking to stabilize their income is attained. My objec- tive in seeking to give con- sumers & voice in the establishment of @ price structure is attained. My objective in seeking to restore the forces of free, open and fair com- petition in the sale of milk to the consumer is attained. I know that producers are satisfied with this proposed legislation and I sincerely hope that the bill will be reported out by the committees of both Houses promptly after the public hearing tomorrow so that this very desirable mad necessary legislation may be speedily enacted into law. The subcommittee has heard not once. but several times, the views of all groups in the industry and there has been ample time for discussion of every phase of the bill. This bill Is one of the most important pieces of legislation which the General Assembly has before 1t and l am de- lighted with the prospect that 1t may soon become law. The members of the sub b-committee and the full committees of both the Senate and the House who have spent great deal of their time on this bill are to be congratulated for their work which was carried on without parti- sanship and SO fully in the public interest.
