OF 10c Per 500 Urged
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Property owners would pay from
10 cents per 500 upward for Gov
ernment insurance against damage
from enemy attack under tentative
rates proposed by Secretary Of Com
merce Jones.
The rates were contained in q
letter Secretary Jones sent Sena-
tor Msloney, Democrat, of Connecti-
cut and made public by the latter
as Congress approved and sent to
the President the bill authorizing up
to $1,000, ,000, 900 for a war damage
insurance program.
The measure originally passed the
Senate providing for free insurance
up to $4,000, but this was finally
changed In the House and in con-
ference to require premium pay
ments.
Mr.. Jones, as head of the War
Damage Corp. said "our thought"
as to appropriate rates is as follows:
Ten to Is cents per 500 cover
age for farms, dwellings and COM
mercial properties up to $4,000;
from Is to 20 cents per 500 cover
age on such risks between $4,000
and $25 900. and graduated rates on
