CAPITAL VALUES IMPORTANT TODAY
D. T. Harrington, Jr., Ex. plains Personal Property
 Insurance Plan

"CapltaI values are almost impos- slhle Go replace today" reports Dan' lel T. Burlington, Jr., of D. T, Far- Vinston, Inc, in explaining the rea' sons back of an advertising cam. paien his agency is sponsoring to insure personal property.
 "Few people realize" said Mir Farrlngton "that the savings they have accumulated over the years whether in cash, stocks or bonds, or represented, as In many cases, by houses, automobiles, household furniture, rugs, jewelry, fur coats-- tn fact, everything possessed by the family, must be looked upon as in- vested capital,
 "And these dollars are mighty hard to accumulate in these times, Even though family earnings hold up, the sum total of taxes and In. creased living costs, makes the save lng margin, generally speaking, much less.
 "Fortunately, practically everyone b saving through the purchase Of War Bonds and Stamps, and that will help @ greal deal. But Q family's actual saving margin Is, generally, much less today than It was In the years past,
 "Every merchant knows this is true, for he must do 0 much larger volume of business to make the same net income because of taxes and higher costs. As 6 practical matter, under present conditions, 1t Is no longer possible for Q man to become wealthy through making money and saving t. The taxes of wartime make that impossible,
 Therefore the losses of capital values, whether by fire, theft or carelessness, are much more serious matters than in easier times, fnsur- ance men are thoroughly aware of this fact and are calling attention to the need for increased insurance, fire insurance, and the line which we are stressing particularly--pers sonNl property insurance-which is tho field in which most uninsured loSaas occur today,
 Dishonest servants, holdup, bur. glaEy, fire or carc!essnesS can cause . loss In personal property which includes practically everything but real property and automobiles, Even if ie is impossible to replace the actual goods, which is often difleult in these times. it makes serious In. roads on family capital. Insurance, which replaces that capital. costs no more than it used to and fires quently less, but 1t Is many times more necessary"

An Associated Press dispatch
from Ankara reported all import.

This dispatch quoted the CORE

Partisans Contacted
(The British radio, heard by CHS
in New York, relayed Stockholm
report that Marshal Tito (JosiI
Broz), leader of the Yugoslav par
tisans, had already made contact
with the opposition in Hungary
and is organizing partisan groups
there.")
Hungarian troops loyal to their
regent, Admiral Nicholas Horthy,
resisted stubbornly at some points,
but on the whole the occupying
force of five German and two Ru-
manian divisions appeared to be

the country, said advices relayed

The Germans clamped a tight

through Turkey, Switzerland and
Sweden there came a series of re-

There was some resistance in
Budapest, with the radio station

fertilizers. In return, Switzerland
agreed to send Germany finished
goods, including machinery ane
motors, (for which the Germans
had supplied basic materials)
hides and livestock; dairy pro
ducts and fruits.
The promised monthly maximum
of 100000 tons of coal from Ger
many suggests the importance Of
this one commodity alone to manu-
featuring Switzerland. Another
valuable item to the fuel-hungry
little nation is petroleum, ship
ments of which Germany agreed
to facilitate from Romania.
The 1871 agreement between
Switzerland and the Nazis expired
at the end of 1912. Negotiations
for renewal broke down in 1943,
but were reported recently reopen
ed. Meanwhile, reduced trade
along the old lines has been car
ried on.

According to Spanish figures,
this nation in 1912 shipped Ger
many $4,000 tons of iron; $4,000
tons of pyrites; $1,000 tons of zinc
ore: and wolframite tungsten pro-
ducing ore) in the amount Of A
tons. This wolframite figure is be-
lieved low. Tungsten is recovered
from many small mines in north
ern Spain and it is reported pos
sible to smuggle the metal across
the frontier without record.
Other leading Spanish commo-
dities sent in 1912 to Germany
were cork, canned sardines, salt
and smoked fish, oranges, olives,
dried fruits, and pepper.
In return, Spain received $4,000
tons of foodstuffs-mostly pota-
toes; metals and manufactures in
the form of structural steel. un-
finished tools, machines; vehicles,
chemicals, medicinal supplies, pa
per. wood pulp. and cellulose.
The fifth neutral, Portugal, has
the smallest trade account with
the Nazis. Before the war. Portu-
guese exports to Germany were
valued at about $4,000, 900, COM
pared with Sweden's figure of
more than $80.000,OOO.
Typical Portuguese commodities
were cork, sardines, port wine,
turpentine and rosin; exchanged
for German coal, iron and steel
