Missouri Official Asks
Federal Control Over
Insurance Companies

by the Associated Press.
Roy McKittrick, attorney gen.
eral of Missouri, told a Senate
judiciary Subcommittee today
that State regulations are not
strong enough to protect the
.lnSuring public against the bad
practices Of the insurance COM
panies" and that Federal control
is needed.
Mr.. McKittrick testified against
the Van Nuys-Bailey bill which
would exempt insurance companies
from provisions of the antitrust laws.
1T is the case of a few thousand
stockholders against millions of peo-
pie. and those few stockholders are
now seeking to be relieved Of the
Federal antitrust laws, which are
the only hope Of the millions to be
protected against combinations and
pools that are detrimental to the
public interest" he asserted.
Mr.. McKittrick contended it was
Illogical to extend such a privilege
to the insurance companies and not
to other corporations such as the
chain stores, railroads and oil COM
panies.

holders that are flooding the mails

ance companies from the Federal

Making Progress

If it be true that where there's a

people have reason to hope that the
members of the Ways and Means
Committee will break through the
impasse which has prevented any
constructive action on pay-as-you-go
tax legislation. Certainly the COM
mittee members, with the support OF
party leaders on both sides, have
been making a sincere effort to find
a satisfactory compromise formula,
and it is encouraging to learn that
both sides are still hopeful OF work.
ing out solution.
1t will be disappointing, however,
if any agreement which may be
reached in the committee fails to in
clude two basic points. One is that
all income taxpayers should be treat
ed alike. Some of the proposals
which have been put forth ignore
this principle, and a compromise
which discriminates against one
group, while conferring benefits on
another, is apt to have hard Shedding
in Congress. The other point which
should be kept in mind is that "dou-
bling up payments must not be so
burdensome that some taxpayers
would find it impossible to get on a
current basis. One plan reported un-

quire all taxpayers to get on a current

Lear SIT.
Everybody has robins, don't suppose
anyone can brag about it, but imagine
I have the only cake-eating robins in
Washington, mostly because am per-
haps the only one baking fruitcake for
them.
This spring I have more robins than
ever and every last one of them goes to
town as an expression once had it, on
my fruitcake.
Il put raisins, citron, dates, and SO on,
in it and the robins find it very much
to their liking. Any sort of cake is
good for them. Even in land of lack
and rationing it is still possible to feed
the birds
Il am glad that I do not have to
admit to the birds as yet that in a land
overflowing with good things we humans
seem to have such lack of sense that
we are not able to feed ourselves.
II can still feed my birds and I am
going to keep on doing it as long as I
can. AS you have so often said, Amer
ica's birds are truly among her finest
natural possessions.
''The fine thing for the birds is that
nature, their mother does not know
about man-made privations in the midst
of her plenty.
If we do not care for the birds, ma
ture will, and does at all times, except
when everything is covered with snow
and ice. But the help bird lovers give
the birds helps nature keep enough of
them alive to eat up worms, bugs and
beetles which prey on mans food.
Never, it seems to me, in the history
Of our country, was the need for help
from the birds greater than it is this
year. Therefore I believe that I and
all the other people who are interested
in birds are doing real service to our
country. I do not apologize to a soul
for feeding the birds, even putting out
fruitcake for the robins. I admonish
all these good souls who, pretty soon,
I feel sure, will begin to threaten and
lecture us, as they have threatened and
lectured everybody else, that they simply
do not know what they are talking about,
Very truly yours, A. NJ. c."
The joy Of Lilly Belle, our pet robin,
just returned from Florida, in consuming
honey cake is something to see.
She spent all day eating away, chasing
cardinals and even starlings from the
feast.
This honey cake is to be found in a
few stores.
1t comes plain and with raisins ETC.,
in it. 1t is dark honey colored and with
a naturally sweetish taste.
One good slice of this will do a robin
all day.
Alternating bites of honey cake, or
fruitcake, and worms, will give any robin
balanced diet filled with protein and
the other required food elements.
