FIRE liability
Insurance can be divided into
three categories: % insurance
against physical "Reminiscences,
accident, and death; CD insurance
against property damage-the most
important of which is fire; and (3)
insurance against personal liability
payments which you may be
forced to make for responsibility
for harm done to the person or
property of others.
The last two categories don't
warrant much discussion. Anyone
who owns property - house
a barn, furniture. animals or an
take a chance of complete loss by
fire in order to save the few dol
lars fire insurance costs. AS for
personal liability-if you drive an
automobile, no matter how careful
a driver you may be, it is C 'rtain-
ly worth $50 or so year to make
sure that you won't have to mort
gage your earnings for life If you
are held responsible for an accident
in which someone gets injured.
Any family, no matter what its
income, should set aside enough
adequately to cover these two cate
gories of insurance.
From there on, insurance be-
comes largely a matter of what
you can afford-or how much you
can afford to do without.
LIFE formula
Life - health - accident. What
ever you do about them, it's a
gamble.
But the insurance expert with
whom l discussed these problems
had a formula which may be as
good as any. His formula was:
Every man who supports a family
should aim at having enough of
these three kinds of insurance to
provide him with half his normal
income in case he is temporarily
unable to work, and to provide his
family with half his normal in
come, for at least 10 years. in case
of his death.
To a man earning 5000 a month
this would mean: an accident and
health policy which would pay him
over $100 a month when incapaci-
tated plus life insurance policy
for at least $4,000. In addition, he
should include, If possible, policy
to cover heavy medical costs or
disqualification.
If man earning 5000 month, or
$2,400 a year, spends 10 per cent
of his income for insurance, this
authority would recommend he
spend it as follows: $40 for fire in
surance, $50 for liability insurance.
$50 for health, accident and hos
pitalization insurance, and $3.50 for
life insurance
When | suggested that it would be
difficult to get $40, 900 worth of life
insurance for $3.50, he said there
was a catch to that figure The

How much insurance should an

said, should try to save per cent
of yearly income. BY buying $3.50

Mr.. Routon asserted the walkout
grew out of an incident during a

gates Wednesday afternoon.
The union official said a colored
janitress refused to 60 to the foot of
the line as directed by a guard. Mr.
Routon said the guard took the
woman to the guardhouse inside the

The guard then was quoted as
saying he struck the woman in the

The union official added that
when the guard was transferred by
the company to another department

mental councils, is understood to
have been one factor in holding up
Allied agreement on definite eco
nomic control machinery. Another
complication Is that a detailed pro-
gram for exacting reparations in
kind from Germany for the damage
she has done in Europe remains to
be worked out in detail.
American policy is understood now
to be for drastic economic control
and complete elimination of some
industries, but in a more moderate
fashion than the controversial Nor
genthau plan Among the indus
tries expected to be eliminated in
Germany are those producing syn
thetic rubber, synthetic oil and
heavy steel. However, some pro-
duction in these fields might be
continued for a time under strict
control If found necessary in the
rehabilitation of other areas of
Europe.
Mr.. Dunn said that "unouestion-
ably" Hitler, Himmler and other
Nazi leaders responsible for the
mass murder Of Jews, Poles and
others" would be considered war
criminals. AS to members of the
Gestapo, he said "those who have
carried out criminal acts must be
punished"
Menace in PAN -Germanism,
Mr.. Dunn said that it is impossi-
BILE to predict how long American
troops may be kept in Germany
"One thing is certain" he declared
ut will be necessary to keep Ger
many under control for a great
many years in order to insure that
she doesn't rebuild her armament
and start up her militaristic activ-
tiles all over again."
Mr.. Murphy emphasized that
"Pan-Germanism,'' the theory that
it is Germany's destiny to expand
and create a German superstate,
must be stamped out along with
Naziism. In a way it is even more
dangerous than Naziism," he said,
in that it goes back much farther
and has inspired German aggression
time and time again."
Mr.. Dunn and Mr.. Murphy made
1t clear that the possibility of divid-
ing Germany into three or four
parts remains open. Mr.. Dunn said
this will depend on ''the final de-
cision of the United Nations as to
the most effective means of pre-
venting Germany from again be-
coming a war-making nation"

Heavy bombers dropped las tons of
bombs on airdromes and naval air
base on Formosa Friday, raided
Cebu Island in the Central Philip4
pines with 116 tons, and destroyed
or damaged nine freighters and
tankers in the China and Sulu Seas.
Gen. Macarthur said the LIBERIA

observed in hangers, warehouses
and rail yards.
Cebu Installations Raided.
On Cebu, the big bombers flew
with attack planes and fighter
bombers to attack installations
around Cebu City, midway along
the east coast. Gen. Macarthur
said fires and explosions indicated
the destruction of stores and am
munition.
Meanwhile, elements of the 18th
Airborne Division advanced 8 miles
south Of Batangas to clear COM
pletely the shores of Batangas Bay
on the Verde Island passage, vital
shipping lane into Manila.
General advances on the Northern
Luzon fronts also were reported.
Gen. Macarthur said the fighting
was difficult in the 1st Corps sector
where the 25th and 32d Divisions
were reducing enemy strong points
in the Balete Pass and Villa Verde
corridors.
Heavy rains and fog hampered
operations.
Patrol bombers damaged a small

Newsmen Protest
Change in Lifting
OF Rhine Censorship
BY the Associated Press.

WITH THE UNITED STATES
9Th ARMY IN GERMANY, Mar. "a
Nearly so American and British
correspondents with the United
States 9th Army protested tonight
against supreme headquarters han.
ding of the news release of the
Rhine-crossing offensive which left
many of them stranded on an event
they risked their lives to cover while
correspondents many miles from the
scene wrote the story secondhand
Ninth Army correspondents were
not notified that censorship on the
offensive had been released until Il
minutes after the story had beer
given to correspondents in Paris
and Brussels. Up to the last mo.
ment, censors with the 9Th Army
acting on information, told CORE
spondents that the story of the
offensives could not be released un-
til 4 pm. III am, E. w. TD.
The field correspondents protest
was forwarded to Supreme Head
quarters and the Office of War In
formation. 1t pointed out that a
fundamental principal laid down
before the Normandy landings was
that spot news would be released
by the army in the field to corre-
spondents who accompanied the
Army to obtain it first-hand, thai
this commitment was entered into
by Supreme Headquarters after
months of negotiations, and that in
addition even the embargo itself
was bungled in the rush by Supreme
Headquarters and 21st Army Group
headquarters to make the announce
ment.
Radio correspondents suffered
most heavily because they were or
limited time. Like the other cor.
respondents, they had been up al
night with assault troops and made
their way back to the press camr
at noon, where they were told the
story would not be released unit
4 pm. With this assurance, many
stopped to eat before preparing
their scrips, only to discover thai
the news had been given out ir
Paris.
Other correspondents, also labor.
ing under the belief that pm. wa,
the deadline, did not return to fl,
their stories until nearly that hour
and found that they were hour
late.
The 21st Army Group, when asket
about the sudden shift in the re
lease hour, attributed it to Suprem,
Headquarters.
To add to the confusion, the Brit
ish I'd Army, in an unprecedented
liberal" policy, released the crossin,
sites and towns taken about midday
while 9th Army operations detail
were withheld for the usual 2.
hours.
Correspondents had gotten a fore,
warning of the new British policy
however. when a 21st Army Grour
staff officer in recent "brief1ng
made it clear that the long-un.
heralded British I'd Army intended
to find place in the world new,

THE

One of the incomprehensible traits Of our country
is its political practice of seeking to hamper or OBJ
struct r even destroy, through governmental action,
private industries on which its prosperity and eco
nomic w~ell-being depend. Such practices are always
disguised by their political proponents as in the inter
ests of the people.
For example, the United States would be as help
less as a bug on its back if its railroad system was
crippled. Well knowing this, our law-making bodies
for years sanctioned, at public expense, so-called
cheap river transport for the avowed purpose of TAX
ing business away from the railroads. The only rea-
son the railroads were not hurt seriously was be-
cause the public did not want the river transport. 1t
was too slow.
Commenting on this practice Of sinking millions
in the rivers for political purposes, Senator Reed of
Kansas, says: There is little of this river transpor-
tatiOn that is justified. 1t is only cheap because it is
paid for by the taxpayers. If a private company
promoted the Missouri River, seeking to induce peo-
pie to invest money based on the report of the Army
engineers, it would be subject to prosecution by the
post office department for using the mails to de-
fraud"
