CIO OK,s TRUMAN

When newsmen asked CIO boss Phil Murray for his views on the Presidents proposed curbs on jur- isd,ctional strikes, and secondary boycotts, he replied with flat mo comment" However, Murray had plenty to say in confidential chat with his friend and namesake, Sen ator Jim Murray of Montana, Dem- ocratic ex-chairman oi the Senate Labcr Committee.
 The CIO leader not only endors- ed legislation to prevent jurisdic- tional tie-ups and secondary boy cotts, but other Truman proposals.
 Tine message was fair and pub lic-spirited," the CIO chief told Senator Murray. Labor can have no quarrel with it."
 Some years ago, he set up com mittee within the CIO which had been highly successful in dealing with jurisdictional union problems, CLOS Murray told Montana's Mur- ray.
 As a result" he said. we have little or no trouble with jurisdic- tional disputes within the CIO to- day"
 lie admitted that there is still considerable jurisdictional strife be- tweea the CIO and the AFL, which mie nt be remedied by Congressional action.
 on several occasions in the past, I have recommended to Bill Green (AFL President that joint CIO- AFL committee be set up to iron out our factional disputes in var ious industries. We of the CIO real ize that something would have to be done, and we hoped that labor itselt would take the initiative"
 Green promised to think 1t over the CIO leader said, but nothing fur,ner was heard from him.

Big Business!
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 The 1946 Fact Book published by the Institute Of Life Insurance yields interesting dimensions re- vealing just how big business life insurance is Most of us had realized life insurance was one of the key stones of national economy, but the man in the street would be at loss to approximate the volume of money that is entailed in the insurance business. It's almost astronomical; 16632s0oo poli- cies for $155 5,722 778000 insurance in force.
 The assets of U. S. life insurance companies last year aggregated approximately the the Federal debt before the war almost $45,000,0OO0O0. Their assets average $1 84 per family S63l each of IT, 100000 policyhoders. Insurance in force per family averages $40OO The income of the nations life nsr- ance companies last year totaled PAP little more than twothirds of it being premium income and the rest being investment and other earnings
 Life insurance of the main financial arteries of the nations financial system As of the present, fourth of the huge volume of life insurance assets is at work business and industrial securities 5 per cent is supporting the real market in mortgages per cent is serving individual needs in the form Of policy loans and 46 per cent is bearing the cost of government and war in the form of U. S. Government securities At the close of 1945 the life insurance companies held S20583 900 900 in government securities an increase of s13889OOoO 900 in such holdings since Pearl Harbor.
 Naturally the heavy increase in federal securities in the life insurance companies portfolio of invest ments has meant reduction in earnings This coupled with the general lowering of interest rates on investment capital, has brought about a sizable reduction in the net interest earned by the companies The 1945 earning rate3.07 per cent-was one-fourth than the average for the decade of which vast 40. This has compelled number of companies to reduce the rate of interest used in new policies sold Existing policies, of course were unaffected by thls
 War death claims did not represent particular financial problem. Death benefit payments from all causes in 1945 (the year of peak war claiIns) were about the same as in 1941 War death claims paid aggregated about S29000 000n addition to the Ma tional Service Life Insurance payments.

E.ASf GYPSUM DEp0SlTS NEAR JUNEAU ARE TOLD IN REPORT

WASHINGTON, Jan. IT. = The Geological Survey released pre- liminary report and maps today on a study of gypsum deposits near Iyoukeen Cove, Alaska.
 The studies were prepared by G. M. Flint, Jr., and E. H. Cobb from surveys last summer of two depoS- it's of, high grade gypsum near tidewater at the Cove on north eastern Chichagof Island. 35 air miles southeast of Juneau, along the Juneau-Sitka mail-boat and air route.
 Claims at one deposit are held by Dave Rousel of Juneau and &c., attic, il the name of the Gypsum Camel Company That mine pro- duced 5000J0 tons Of gypsum be- tween 1906 and 1928.
 The report said that the gypsum deposits probably are of permian or triassic age and override a ser ies of limestones of Mississippian age The gypsum is white and translucent, with narrow grayish bands, and in places approaches alabaster in quality.
 The geologists said no estimate of reserves could be made, but the drilling of a few core holes indi- cated commercial possibilities of the Gypsum Camel property. Fur ther exploration work at the mine would involve diversion of a creek and pumping out extensive under ground workings.

VANS NEW LIMOUSINE

The new Senate is getting ob- vious pleasure out of watching Senator Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan in his new job as Pres ident Pro Tenn of the Senate. Part of this is because of Vandenberg S unconcealed happiness in the job, part because many never did relish Senator Kenneth McKellar of Ten nessee in the Presidents chair.
 New Hampshires Senator Charles Tobey however, could not resist putting Vandenberg on the spot. Talking with a group of COP col leagues in the Senate restaurant, Tobey mentioned the long, sleek limousine, with liyeried chauffeur, which goes to Vandenberg along with his new job.

 So, after about 40 minutes of discussion, Colorado's Millikin agreed that if Dr. George w. Car yer, Capitol physician, would give it as his professional opinion that Bilbo was genuinely in need of ar operation, he, Millikin, would "go along"
 That was how the deal was ar ranged.

HOW BILBO STEPPED ASIDE

It was Senator Theodore Bilbo himself working through kindly Senator Clyde Hoey of North Caro- lima, who arranged the 60-day va cation moratorium on his fight for a Senate seat.
 Convinced that he did not have chance to win his battle during the opening days of Congress, Bilbo went to Senator Hoey. Telling the silver haired Tarheel that he knew himself to be licked, Bilbo continu- ed his voice choked with emotion:
 But I am flat broke, and if they kick me cut now, I won't even have railroad fare back to Mis- sissippi
 Now I have looked up the law, and il I will step aside for two or three months I can draw my pay and have enough to cover my hos pital bills for a second operation on my mouth"
 Hoey told Bilbo he doubted that pay could be drawn without first being sworn in, but agreed to get in touch with Democratic leader Parkley It was found that Bilbo's interpretation was correct.
 Balkley and Hoey then went to COP leader Taft who called Sen- ator's Wallace White Jr., of Maine and Eugene Millikin of Colorado to his office. Taft and White were for immediate acceptance but Mill likin baked, insisting that Bilbo

Free 0utpatient Clinic
To Be Established
Al St. EIizabeths

st. Elizabeths Hospital will open
an outpatient clinic this fall to offer
free psychiatric guidance to persons
with minor mental disturbances and
help check them before they become
more serious.
The plan, which has been under
consideration by hospital authori-
ties for some time, was announced
yesterday by DR.. Winfred Overhol-
ser, superintendent, at Rotary
Club luncheon at the Mayflower
Hotel.
He called the extension Of the
Federal mental institutions service
to patients outside the hospital zone
of the most important steps in the
hospitals history"
No Hearings Required.
OF particular significance, DR..
Overholser declared, is the fact that
outpatients will be free to come and
go from st. Elizabeths just as they
would from any doctors Office.
They will not be handicapped, he
pointed out, by the "barbarous"
procedure undergone by those COM
mitted to the hospital, who must.
under existing District law. undergo
lunacy hearing in which their
family and friends testify to their
insanity in their presence.
Present plans for the conversion
of a new building occupied by the
Red Cross into quarters for the
examination of outpatients. The
building, which housed so Red Cross
workers during the wartime peak, is
now nearly vacant, the superintend-
ent said.
No Charge to Be Made.
No charge will be made for the
outpatient service, according to DR..
Overholser. The clinic will be
headed by a senior psychiatrist, and
resident doctors at the hospital will
be rotated on the examining staff.
The st. Elizabeths superintendent
said he hoped the new service at the
Federal institution would supple
ment, rather than conflict, with any
mental hygiene program undertaken
by the District Health Departm ent.
Mental guidance clinics operated
by the health department and the
washington Institute of Mental Hy-
giene, a Community Chest agency,
now offer the only public psychi-
atric facilities here. Group Health
Association, an organization provid-
ing comprehensive medical care, has
also announced it is setting up a
mental hygiene program for children.
