Last week I started a series on the new insurance amendments. This is the second in that series. ne third will come next week. the fourth the week after, and so on. if there's need for any more.
 The old law allowed us to con- vert our term" insurance to one of three types of permanent poll icics. The new law permits six types. We really can choose from broad field now Out of the six forms. one should fit every holder of National Service Life Insurance.
 These six permanent forms of NSLI are:
 l. Ordinary Life You pay pre- mium for the rest of your natural life. and this is the cheapest ot all forms. At age 30 it would cost you Sl84.7O a year for $Slo,O0O worth of ordinary life. That's plenty cheaper than a similar com mercial policy
 9 30-pay life You pay pre- miums for 30 years, and then your policy is paid up. At age 30 It would cost you s2l670 year for Sl0000 worth.
 3. 2O-pay life. You pay pre- rniums for 20 years. At age 30 this will cost you s273.5O a year fer $10,00O
 These ttree forms of permanent insurance always have been avail able u NSLI policy holders Here are the new ones:
 I 20-year endowment You pay premiums for 20 years, but at the cpd of that time you must take your insurance back for it's full lace value You can take il back in one lump sum, or you can take it in equal monthly miscellaneous ranging from 36 to 240 months. At age 30 this would cost you S4l5.50 a year for SlO.o09 That is, you pay $93l0 and get back Sl0,000. Plenty expensive, I think
 5 Endowment at age 60. You pay premiums until you reach your 6Gah birthday, and then the pol icy is refunded to you like policy No. above-in one lump sum, or n installments. At the age we've been using this would cost you

s268.7O for Sl00o0 per year 1 6. Endowment at age 65. Same deal as five, except you pay premi- ums for five more years. This would cost you s2320O a year fol the full S10.000. And you have to take the installment or the lump sum payments when the policy ma lures. All these endowment policies pay off like life insurance to your beneficiary if you die before they mature.
 There you have then-siX diff ferent forms, six different possi- bilities. But I can't just let it go at that. There are more angles to this insurance business than you'll find in a geometry book.
 Take a quickie at these endow- ment policies. After they've ma tured-after the premiums have been paid for 20 years, or until you reach the age of 60 or 65- you have absolutely no life insur- ance left. You've got to take out the face value of the policy either in installments or a lump sum.
 Suppose you choose to take the money in lump sum, with the idea of investing it in some safe security which your beneficiary can take over when you reach the end of your road Then suppose the safe security turns out to be not SC safe, and part or all of the insurance money you invested in it evaporates. Your beneficiary is then completely unprotected when you die
 With any form of insurance oth- CT than an endowment policy that can't happen No matter what the economic state of the nation hap pens to be when you die, or for the years before you die your insur- ance is intact. and your beneficiary will get it-always providing that you pay your premiums.
 Don't think I'm trying to talk YOU out of endowment policies. They can be really good things to have. But they're tricky, and I'm just trying to point out how they're tricky.

WorVeterons Send Protest 
 Petitions Circulated
 To Save Life Of
 Condemned G.l.

A group of Waterburians, many veterans, marshalled their forces to- day to save the life of Pfc. Joseph H. Hicswa, sentenced to death by a court-martial in Japan for killing two Japanese civilians in Nara after drunken party last November 24.
 The protestants, including 13 vet erans, appealed to The Waterbury Democrat to assist in saving the life of the American boy, until all the facts are reviewed by high mili- tary court.
 The Democrat agreed to accept petitions and forward them to President Harry s. Truman and the Army for a review.
 Heading the committee yesterday, were George Smedes, 74 Scully street, and Russell Blanchard, vet- eran of World War II, who averred that if Gen. Yamashita, arch Japa- nese militarist, could have his death sentence reviewed by the highest court in the land, an American boy can expect the same treatment.

ostwdr Plans to Be Undertaken by City Program of Improvements Calls for Expenditure of 13 Million Dollars;
 South Main Street to Be Widened

Waterbury's f3 million dollars postwar plan is underway with VnrlouB projects assigned to the Street and Engineering depart ments now in the constructive stage.
 Plans for widening of South Main street between Grand and Meadow street, were approved by the Board of Works last night with assignment of the project forward ed by the Board to the Engineering and Street Departments. Following final plans for this project the Board of Aldermen will hold hear inws for change of layout of the area in conforming with the pro- pobed plans.
 Samples of new street signs which eventually will be installed through out the city were presented to the Board of Works last night by Street Sppt. Herbert Scott-Smith. AS re- ported previously the city will ex- pend &30,Oo0 for the installations as afaxed In it's 6-year postwar pro- gram. The Street committee of the Board will confer with the Super- 41tGM0Cug 2S pO bkAC bCsb bJpG SABh before final selection.
 Title Searches
 Title searches have been com pleted for purposes of sanitary sewer assessments on five streets. The latter are Appleton, Myrna, Barbara, Charlotte street and Stan rod avenue.

List-GLenn Present CoIorfuZ Program
 Beethoven, Francl, Kabalexsly,
 Debussy, and Missouri Waltz
 HighIight Performance

SfSgt. Eugene List, pianist, and Carroll Glenn, vioiinist, played for their major works last night sonatas by Beethoven and Franck. in this selection they displayed, both of them, tremendous powers of execu- ton and interpretation. The two, Beethoven's Sonata in ? Major" and Franek's, Sonata in A Major" i, were of sufficient contrast, the form- CT at the start of the program, the latter at the end, to give their pro- gram solidity and charm.
 Enthusiastic Reception
 The joint concert of the two, who in private life are Sgt. and Mrs. List, was the third in the Fine Arts series of concerts sponsored by taAs Mattatuck Musical Art Society, and was presented at the Waterbury Women,s Club auditorium which was filled to capacity. The artists were received enthusiastically. With pronounced musicianship both gave testament in their combined and single performances of the many awards they have received, awards that have placed them as major soloists with the great ore chestras of the country. One of the delights in the performance of both was the simple and unaffected man. ner in their presentation of a not- able program for violin and piano. Sgt. List plays with ease. but is a forceful and brilliant artist, his playing controlled at all times.
 The Beethoven piece with it's AL legro, Adagio motto expressive. Scherzo (allegro n1olto), and Rondo, (Allegro ma non troppo), was given with authority. Miss Glenn plays with amazing skill, produces beauti- full tones in her forte and piano passages, and she negotiates nitric ate and rapid passages with accur- acy. Along with her brilliant tech- nique she appears to have deep feeling for the music she plays, which gives what she plays ade- uuate form and rich color. The Bee- thoven was a fine piece of work for both artists.
 The Franck Sonata, his only one for violin and piano, if we are not mistaken, was an impressive num- Der combining the classic forms of early composers who influenced Franck and original and striking harmonies such as characterize the great composers works. In this Sgt. List and Miss Glenn gave splendid performance, his expert finger tech- niuue and her broad sweeping tones happily combined in smooth and well-timed performance. The Franck Sonata was warmly received.

 Sewer Status Questioned
 John Mlrfield appeared before the board and questioned status of a proposed sewer on NJ. Vernon ave- nue. He pointed out that the Board of Health had recommended the sewer and said he was of the belief that the city held right of way through the area needed for the installation.
 He said that septic tanks in the area are now overfiowing and the street is in poor condition-yet he has been raised $3,600 in his as- sesSment, He asked for immediate action in obtaining full right of way for the installation.

Radar Cannot Stop
 Any Atomic Bombs

Hartford, Jan, l6--(UP)-"RadaT cannot be used as a defense against atomic weapons" Ernest Pollard associate professor of physics at Yale University, believed today.
 While radar can detect all kinds of 1irborne missiles, it cannot do anything about them in return, T Pollard said. This, he added, meant radar could not make the United States safe against atomic warfare.
 Pollard estimated radar shortened the war by year and saved about half a million lives.
 He predicted that within 10 years all airplanes and ships would use the device as navigation aid.
