French assets in this country are
worth around $5OO,O00,000. These

Discussing the French gold hold
ings before the House group yester-
day, Mr.. Herter said it probably is
wise" for France to have reserve
to fall back on in case of currency
revaluation.
But when we are told there won't

The $500,000,O00 In French assets
in this country are here illegally

Treasury does not feel free to reveal
to the French government the names
of the owners.
Mr.. Herter's special committee is
sued seven reports last night deal
ing with various phases of the
problem in Europe.
Critical Supplies Discussed.
The seven reports covered grain,
fertilizer, petroleum, steel and coal
and their availability as we'll as
more detailed discussions of the
French and italian crises as related
to the stopgap aid program. The
commodity reports generally pointed
up the short supply problem in the
United States and made it clear
some sacrifices at home will be
called for if European needs are to
be met.
In general, the reports agree with
the administrations estimates of
emergency needs. But Mr.. Herter
cautioned that the administration
figures may be too high on what
actually is available to send to
Europe.
He said the estimate of wheat
available for Italy may be $60,000,-
900 too high. And, he said, Italy
may be able to use 100000 of her
own resources which this Govern
ment isn't counting on.
Hence, he took no solid stand on
whether Congress ought to go ahead
and furnish the full $597 7.000, 900 OF
emergency aid the administration
wants.

Conflicts in Board

BY the Assoeioted Press

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 26.-Be-
hind the scenes conflicts on the
Standard Gas and Electric Co. s
board of directors we're before the
Securities and Exchange Commits
sion today as it continued an inves-
tigation into the systems manage
ment shakeup.
Leo T. Crowley, company presi-
dent, related yesterday his many
differences with other board men,
bers, particularly with Christian A
Johnson who has been named to re-
place him as head of the $700, 600, ,O0O
utility.
Previously, Mr.. Crowley charged
he had been trailed by private de-
tectives and that attempts were
made to tap his telephone wires
The SEC referred his charges to the
Justice Department.
Committee Opposed.
Mr., Crowley described Policy
Committee" formed by Standard
Gas as mot representing the entire
system but rather the interests of
various classes of stockholders, par
ticularly the 81 preferred. The pres
ident said he was not in favor of
forming the committee and accepted
the Craftsmanship reluctantly, add
ing:
"It placed me in an embarrassing
situation as far as my views were
concerned. The other gentlemen
(Christian A. Johnson, Robert j
Levy and Thomas OHara repre-
sented common stockholders and the
S4 preferred stock. I felt we were
not representing the over all COM
pany interest but were representing
various classes of stockholders.
Sharp criticism of Mr.. CroWley's
handling of a $51 100000 bank loan
sought by Standard Gas to pay of
its notes and debentures came from
Mr.. johnson through his attorney
Alfred Berman, now special counsel
for Standard Gas in the SEC probe
/ Bank Held Up Loan.
/ Under questioning by Mr.. Berman
Mr.. Crowley said the loan was held
up by the bank until disposal of an
appeal filed against a Federal Dis
trict Court order which remanded tc
the commission a reorganization
plan formerly proposed blythe COM
pany.
Mr.. Berman said he wrote Mr.
Crowley for Mr.. johnson to protest
the banks stand on the loan. The
attorney added he suggested that
Mr.. johnson be designated to seek
the loans from insurance companies
Mr.. Crowley defended his position
in denying Mr.. Johnson's demands
with the assertion:
Il don't know by what reason the
directors should abdicate and le

North American Newspaper Alionea
Tens of billions of dollars in Fed
eral funds and possibly the solvency
of the Governments entire CT in
surance program are at stake in a
case pending before the Supreme
Court.
The case. relating to the size Of
monthly insurance payments to the
beneficiary of a dead CT, has been
taken to the Supreme Court by So
licitor General Philip B. Pearlman
on an appeal from decision Of the
Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in
Chicago.
The Circuit Court, reversing a de-
cision of a Federal District Court,
ruled in a 2-to-l split decision that
a National Service Life Insurance
beneficiary must receive the full
face value of the policy, plus in
terest, every 10 years.
If the decision is upheld, long
lived neneficiaries could draw sew
eral times the face value of policies
The Supreme Court has not YET
announced whether it will review
the action. No action is expected
before December 8, at the earliest.
Could Wipe Out Surplus.
H. w. Breining, Veterans Admin
istration insurance chief, was quotec
this week as saying a decision ad.
verse to the Government could Wipe
out the surplus from which divi-
dends were eventually to be paid or
100000 World War II veterans
insurance policies.
But a closer inspection indicates
far greater impact may result il
the Supreme Court refuses to review
the case or upholds the Circuit
Court decision.
Solicitor General Pearlman, in his
petition to the Supreme Court fol
review of the case, foresaw that
unless these billions are supplied
by Congress, the fund will ulti-
mately be forced to default on its
obligations.
Gen. Bradley, outgoing Veterans
Administrator, has placed the po-
tential liability of the Government
for GI insurance benefits at $62,o00,.
000,000 more than the $35 ,000, 900 ,00(
face value of existing policies, if the
decision is upheld.
Circuit Court Opinion.
The Circuit Court majority opin.
ion held that, even if Congress
passed the law unwisely, we know
of no authority in law that author
ICES the Veterans Administration
or even the courts, to correct it."
The language of the statute
enacted in 1910 follows: Such in
surance shall be payable in the fol.
lowing manner: If the benef.
ciary to whom payment is first made
is 80 or more years of age at the
time of maturity. in equal monthly
installments for 100 months certain
with such payments continuing dur
ing the remaining lifetime of such
beneficiary"

legislation have removed the mini.

.GI Insurance Program al S;u,,s
lin Pendinq Supreme Court Case

A VA spokesman estimated that
CT policy-holders as of August 81
are eligible to elect this method of
payment. 1t was predicted that most
would do so If the Circuit Courts
decision is upheld and that many
lapsed policies would be reinstated.
Particular Case at Issue.
The particular case at issue in
wolves the $1,000 policy of GI
Adolph F. Schwartz, who died in
May. 1943, while in Government
service
His beneficiary, Tillie zazove, con-
tended she was entitled to lifetime
payments based on a division of the
IS 900 by the 100 months in the To-
year guaranteed period, plus 3 per
cent interest. This would have
amounted to $4808 per month.
The Veterans Administration in
194l adopted regulation which pro-
vided for monthly payments based
on the life expectancy Of the bene-
fciary as calculated on the basis OF
the American experience table Of
mortality, plus per cent interest.
It guaranteed at least l20 months
of payments.
At the time of Schwartz's death,
Mrs. Zazove was 81 years old. VA
offered to make monthly payments
in the amount of $29.50 for life,
with 100 payments guaranteed.
Mr.. Pearlman admits in his petit
ton to the high court that, under
VAS Interpretation, where the death
of the beneficiary occurs within 10
years of the death Of the CT or
shortly thereafter, monthly pay
ments would be continued to a con-
/ tingent beneficiary only until the
end of the 10-year period.
VA Estimates Payments.
| A VA spokesman estimated that,
under these circumstances, pay
ments might amount to only about
so per cent of the face value of the
policy.
! Mr. Pearlman contends, however,
that this contingency was recog-
nized by Congress in amendments to
the CT insurance law providing
other optional methods of payment:

TRAVEL PAY:
Train Fares Up

To offset increased operating
costs, Interstate Commerce COM
mission authorized an approximate
10 per cent increase in basic pas
senger fares for 60 railroads operat-
ing east of the Mississippi and north
of the Ohio and Potomac rivers.
The change will boost one-way
passenger rates from 90 to rs
cents a mile in coaches and from
3.3 to 3.5 cents a miles in sleeping
and parlor cars. There will be an
increase of about Is per cent in
coach roundtrip rates and about
four per cent in Pullman round-trip
fares.
In granting the increase, ICC
noted that those railroads which re-
quested the new rates incurred
deficit of 81 million dollars from
passenger train operations last
year.
