G. [. Insurance
Dividend Situation

The recent announcement from
Washington, D. C., to the effect
that the Supreme Court had
thrown out far-reaching veterans
life insurance claim which has been
credited with holding up the pay
ment of dividends on CT insurance,
is bringing a flood of inquiries to
VA officials as to when the holders
of National Service Life Insurance
policies will be receiving dividends.
Mr.. I. B. Alkire, Regional In
surance Officer, Veterans Admins
tration, Phoenix, Arizona, calls at
tention to the fact that StatiSticianS
must check some 100000 policies
held by approximately 100000
servicemen and veterans, which
work may take at least a year. All
letters and other inquiries con-
corning the dividends must be
answered and this, of course, will
delay the computation of the di-
vidends and it is therefore sug-
geSted that these inquiries be held
to a minimum.
The amount of dividends will
depend on three things, namely,
the amount of insurance taken out,
the age of the insured, and the
length of time the insurance has
been carried. No attempt has been
made to estimate the amount of
the dividends, but they should be
about equal to dividends paid by
commercial mutual life insurance
companies.
Every holder of National Service
Life Insurance policies, whether it
has been continued in force as
term insurance, converted into a
permanently policy, or allowed to
lapse will be entitled to a divi-
dend, whether large or small. The
dividend will not be taxable, and

the ninety per cent of the nations
population believing in our form
of government.
AS an example, DR.. Young spoke
of the twelve million Negroes who
compose that minority group. The
reason they are Disseminated
against is because they have made
no effort to make themselves ac-
ceptable. He stated that sixty years
ago an outstanding Negro, Booker
T. Washington, hit the nail on the
head when he advised the group
that its solution lay in education
and training that would result in
such masterful craftsmanship that
their services would come to be
demanded.
He added that the race has
made little or no effort along that
line.
He cited the instance of a city
in the east with Negro population
of $4,000. For this colored popula-
ton there are just five colored
doctors in that city and only five,
where there should be thirty-five.
If there were thirty-five, thirty of
them would starve to death be-
cause the Negros will not pay
their doctors bills.
DR.. Young then spoke of the
Jews and said they are not dis
criminated against because they
are Jews, for that is a religion and
not a race,bu simply because as
individuals they are obnoxious to
no attempt to correct this condition.
He stated that he has known Jews
that had overSome this condition
and were highly respected men,
bers of society. He informed the
group that he does not believe
that single American would hold
anything against another simply
because of the race, color or creed
if that persons character or per-
sonality were not obnoxious.
In conclusion, DR.. Young said if

PUG Issues Opinion
On Pepco Rate Raise

The Public Utilities Commission
has Issued 14-page opinion in sup
port of its order last July, granting
the Potomac Electric Power Co. rate
increases totaling $2,750,000.
When the increases were ordered
after public hearings this summer,
the PUG announced its decision
and added its full findings and
opinion would be issued later.
The opinion states that Chair
man James H. Flanagan and the
rest Of the commission feel the new
rate schedules are fair and reason
able and represent definite i'm
provement over the former rate
schedule.
The opinion said the PUG recog-
nizes that the additional revenues
provided by the new rate schedule
during the first year after their
effective date probably will amount
to something more than the $2,750,.
900. The PUG said, however, the
excess money would be turned tc
the benefit of the customers through
the sliding-scale payment plan. Il
not Offset by increased operating
expenses.
The PUG paper pointed out that
the $2,750, 900 increase in gross reve-
nue. would, after allowance for ad-
ditional taxes, increase net operat-
ing income by sl,554,3o0 and give
Pepco q 5la per cent rate of return
