y. S. Fiscal Policy Boosts
Insurance Costs

The u. S. Treasury points with
PRIDE to the fact that it can bor-
row money at record low rates,
paying maximum of 21a per
cent interest for a loan due in 80
years. Although Mr.. Average
American Citizen does not realize
it, this is, if anything, a mixed
blessing. One thing is certain. it
means that 73 million holders of
lite insurance policies are paying
more for protection than ever be-
fore, and will pay still more in the
months to come.
This timely and significant in
formation was brought out in a
recent interview of the financial
editor of the Kansas City Star
with w. T. Grant, chairman Of
the Board, OF the Business Mems
Assurance Company OF that city.
According to Mr.. Grams state
ment, this Federal financial policy
is costing the American public
nearly 500 million dollars more
year for life insurance than short
ly before World War |. The fol-
lowing is quoted:
THE net rate of interest earned
by all the life companies on their
invested fund last year dropped
under 3 per cent for the first tirle
in history" Mr.. Grant said. THE
1916 rate was 2.92 per cent, COM
pared with 3O7 per cent in 1915
and 3.6l per cent in pre-war 1910"
In reply to the question why
insurance costs are rising, Mr..
Grant explained the premium ra-
ties reflect three factors, namely,
mortality experience, operating
expense and investment income.
"Mortality experience has i'm
proved appreciably in recent
years with the life expectancy
longer than ever before" the risk
official said. Furthermore" he
continued with the acknowl
edgement of the need for life pro-
lection, resulting in the huge
growth of business the per unit
operating expense has been held
down.
The two factors ordinarily
would cause premiums to de-
crease, but the persistent decline
in the level of interest rates has
been more than an offset"
A large part of the cost of lie
insurance has been met by a re-
turn on investments on the say
ings part of premiums set aside.
Such savings last year amounted
to about $500 per 81 900 policy.
At the going rate the risk conf

SidWell Friends football team
opens its season today at George
town Prep, $3.50 pm, and unless
something happens to snap a jinx
of long standing, the boys from
Wisconsin avenue are due for a
setback. Every story The Star has
published for the past several years
about Friends has spelled defeat for
the team in its next game. So
Coach Tim SWEET was reluctant
about saying anything at all about
his team to this reporter.
The Star writings are jinx,"
SWEET moaned yesterday. You
wrote us a nice story last year right
before we played Rockville and we
dropped that game, one we figured to
win. And the year before it was
the same thing. The Star gave us a
big play and we lost the next game.
This has been going on now as long
as I can remember"
Perhaps the jinx will be broken
today, but that isn't the only worry
occupying Swett's mind, which right
now houses a truckload of troubles.
Looking over the 1946 record,
SWEET can boast of his teams TAX

Hursey's Pilot Says
Bell Will Be K0'd

Washington's Smuggy Hursey, a
grand little fighter but generally not
a power puncher, has quite a task
cut out for him if he attempts to
live up to the prediction from his
manager that he'll knock out
Tommy Bell when they meet at
Griffith Stadium next Monday
night.
Manager Mel Stevenson is nettled
by Bells reported crack who's
Hursey?"
Hell find out who Hursey Is all
right" promises Stevenson. Mel
further promises that Hursey will
stop Bell the same as he did Danny
Kapilow. That one-round knockout
win over Kapilow is about the only
important knockout on Hursey's
record. He generally wins by deci-
sion.
"They tell me Bells never been
Knocked out, but neither had
Kapilow before Hursey stopped him.
,Hursey's- coming up and Bells going
down, and I'm backing Hursey to
put him out on Monday night. I've
watched Tommy Bell work out sev-
eral times, and he hasn't impressed
me bit. He's no better puncher
than Aa1pn Perry or Billy Arnold
and he hasn't convinced me he can
take punch.
I'm not going to shave until
Hursey beats Bell, and I don't ex-
pect to raise beard" added
Stevenson as a final clincher to his
argument.
Bell still rates as the favorite.

The Lanham oval will close its

Offenhauser car pilots Larry

Bloomer was the runnerup. Bloomer,
two time national champion and
previously a Ford V-8 driver at

have any one who can run like he
could. And up on the line I had
Bob Ashton, Ed Walker and Mike

In spite of Swett's pessimism
Friends may come up with couple
of surprises for the opposition. With

halfback, back from last year, you

Brownell, who was second in the
Nation in qualifying for the National
Amateur, Is not sorry he passed up
the tournament. "I closed two poll
cies last week." he said, land I
couldn't have done that in Califor-
MIA. That's a different league out
there, too" he added. Those fel-
lows are tournament tough and 1t
makes big difference"
Nobody is conceding Brownell his
third District title, and second
straight, today, but Nee, the 32-year-
old furniture executive, ex-George-
town football player and part owner
of the Baltimore Colts, will be the
first to shout upset if he wins.
Nee's game has improved with
each round. After barely qualifying
with a 78. he went 20 holes in his
first match, l9 in the second, 18 in
defeating Garland Bowers with a
curling 20footer past a partial
stymie yesterday morning, and only
IA as he drubbed Leroy Smith of
Manor with one-over-par golf.
Nee's best golf game is off the tee
and with long irons. He figures to
outnit Brownell, but hardly will be
as straight. But around the greens,
unless Maury finds the touch over
night, he will be outplayed.
This 36-hole-a-day golf is new to
Nee, whose Quarterf1nal appearance
in the Maine amateur open while
on vacation this year was his best
showing. He was so tired last night
that he said, "The only person I'd
go out with tonight would be
Brownell."
This is Nee's first appearance in
a District amateur final. He has
met Brownell once, back in their
schoolboy days, when Bobby de-
feated Maury on the 18th hole at
Kenwood.

Development Of Line
Is Key TO Wilson's
Hopes This Year

Wilson Highs chances of making
a creditable football showing this
fall rest on how well the line de-
velops. It's mostly new forward
wall Coach Joe Carlo is fashioning
for the Green Tigers, but If 1t turns
out okay. then the Tigers may do
at least as well as the three won and
four lost record they turned in last
year.
There are too many untested play
ers in starting roles for the Tigers
to rate right now as possible champs.
With few holdoverS turning out for
the team this fail, Coach Carlo had
to spend much time in trying his
numerous candidates in various
positions in an effort to find a
clicking combination. The testing
still is going on, and Wilson is one
team that likely will present lineup
changes from week to week.
Carlo is taking a large squad to
Staunton, Va. tomorrow for Will
sons opener against Staunton Mill
tary Academy. Frequent subStitu-
tions will be in order, with every one
getting a chance to snow how he
does under fire.

today's schoolboy grid program are

Experienced backs due for start
ing assignments with Wilson are
Pat O'Neill and Bill Voigt. O'Neill
is a standout in all sports, and at
football does lot of the teams pass
ing, kicking and running. Also a
help to the team is Bill Callahan
back in uniform this week after an
illness. He's a quarterback and fair
passer, but naturally needs several
weeks of work before he returns to
last years form.
Tackle Bill Gray ano Center Ed
Frager are the only line veterans
Frager has been sidelineG with a
rib injury, but developing as good
center replacement is Stan Bender
Another promising newcomer is
guard Buddy Ladd.
ALL in all, however, the line Is
lighter than most, and the Tigers
will depend more on speed and de-
ception than on power this year
It's the kind of team that should
ger much better as the season pro-
crosses, but the Tigers probably will
reach their peak too late to become
real title contenders this season.

gan. The jut-jawed tackle was
able to make his teammates do
practically anything under the
influence of his hypnotic sugges-
tionS.
At first his antics and those of
his victims were the laugh of
the camp. But then Coach Mum
ger began to doubt the advisable
ity of mesmerism on the gridiron.
Munger called Morgan into
conference and issued his no
hypnotism edict. It's all right
if Morgan practices his hobby on
Lafayette, Dartmouth and Penn's
other football opponents-but on
Penn's players, no.
Morgan himself doubts the
probable success of hypnotic
suggestion during a football
game.
Il don't know whether 1t would
work in a game" he said. After
all, there has to be some hyp-
