annual report disclosed yesterday.
Collections for the previous fis-
cal year totaled $1,801 ,488.
The increase, the department
noted, points up the rise in the
volume of insurance business here.
During the fiscal year the de-
partment issued about 5000
licenses to insurance companies
and their representatives, includ-
ing insurance brokers. This figure
in the previous fiscal year was
$500.
The insurance agency admins
ters laws designed to protect the
public against insolvency and
fraud by insurance companies and
their representatives and provide
reasonable standards for the terms
of insurance contracts, for regu-
lation of certain insurance rates
and for establishment of actuarily
computed reserves for life insure
ance.
Afr a long investigation, the
department during the year ap-
proved a general rate revision for
fire and extended coverage inSur-
ance, effecting a $500 ,O00a year
saving for District policyholders
Mounting accident frequency
and increased settlement costs on
individual claims, however, re-
suited in a substantial increase

The experience of one company
writing practically all the finan-
cial responsibility risks in the Dis

eral occupations: mail carrier.
A: Even declining occupations
offer employment to many young
people each year because of the
turnover due to death, retirement
and transfer of workers to other
fields.
s.: AS productivity increases,
fewer workers will be needed to
produce basic necessities and
more may produce consumer

Farm Labor Declines.
6: Eighty years ago more than
half of those who worked for a
living were in agriculture. Today
about 8 per cent are. At present,
the reserve labor force on farms

Steel Shortage
To Hit States
Road Projects
Virginia Expects
Lag of Six Months
Behind Schedule
BY ihe As.oeioted Pros,

RICHMOND, Aug. IS. - Vir-
ginia's highway construction pro-
gram will be six months behind
schedule by the first quarter of
next year because Of the steel
shortage
And the situation will get pro-
gressively worse unless new high
way construction gets a larger
share of the country's steel pro-
duction.
This general review Of the sit
uation was confirmed today by
the State Highway Department.
The department put the blame
on two factors: .
l. ALLEGATIONS made by the Fed
eral Government for steel for new
road construction are too small.
Rubber Checks" Blamed.
2. The allocations, made quar-
terly. are released so late they
become rubber checks" and are
useless in actually obtaining steel
from producers.
The department. disclosed that
its top officials, including High
way Commissioner James A. An
derson, went to Washington last
week and laid their steel troubles
before Virginia's Congressional
delegation. So far, however, no
cure" has been announced, al
though advanced" ALLEGATIONS
are beginning to come through.
Steel for maintenance work, the
department said, is being obtained,
but estimated needs for new
projects are being cut so per cent
at the ALLEGATION stage.
For the third quarter Of this
year. the department reported, the
State agency's steel needs for new
projects were estimated at 1851
tons. The Federal Government
granted ALLEGATIONS amounting to
3,100 tons.
ALLEGATIONS Came Late.
The allocationS were not given
to the State until just about the
time the quarter began. When the
certificates were taken to the
mills, the department revealed,
the producers said their capacity
was already allocated and no de-
liveries to Virginia could be made.
Revalidation of the certificates
was necessary to get the steel
originally requested for the third
quarter in the fourth quarter. And
the department complained, these
Iorders were counted against the
States allotment for the fourth
quarter, 2.100 tons. -
Not counting the steel require
ments held over from the third
quarter, fourth quarter needs were
estimated at 4,548 tons.
The Department pointed out
Virginia was not alone in the
Federal wise on new road construc-
ton. All States were In the same
boat.
1t said defense production was
taking only 10 to IS percent of
the total steel output. whereas
road construction was being re-
quired to take a cut of so per
cent.

did not seek reelection and Mr..
Reeves now is Secretary of State
for Maryland. Mr.. Lofstrand was
reelected to another four-year
term. He was chairman Of the

A Montgomery Republican lead
er said there is little likelihood
of a primary fight developing,
however, and he expressed con-
fidence that conferences between
the potential candidates would re-
suit in an agreement to center
support behind one of them.
The party leader, who preferred
to remain anonymous. said it
would be logical to have a con-
gressional nominee from Mont

let's look back a bit. The word
Capitalism came into being well
over 100 years ago in the early
days of the industrial revolu-
ton. At that time the basis of
wealth shifted from land to
money THAT is, capitaD invested
in industrial and commercial
ventures. Admittedly, during
those years there were many
abuses, errors and mistakes.
If you have read the novels of
Charles Dickens written 100
years ago or the story of
Americas "Robber Barons" in
the 1905, you know what they
were. There is no denying that
Capitalism's primitive period
contains many dark chapters of
worker exploitation at home, and
colonial expansion abroad.
We've Changed
ALL those memories are con-
tanned in the word Capitalism.
The Communists are clever
enough to seize on that fact.
Hence their use of the word
Capitalist as a dirty name, a
smear word. for every aspect of
our Western civilization.
But what about us? Are we 50
stupid as to let them get away
with it? In the face of their re-
pressive. regressive slave system,
we stand for bold and magma
tive society which has changed,
developed and improved with
the years. Are we imaginative
enough to find a word for it?
Anyone who has eyes and
looks around him knows how
conditions today differ from
those of so or 100 years ago.
Here, for example. are 10 points
based in large part on listing
recently prepared by Edward ].
Meeman, Editor of the Memphis
"Press-Scimitar":
/. Slavery, which antedates
Capitalism, has been abolished
in all Capitalist countries. In
fact, and ironically, it is now
practiced primarily in Commu-
mist countries, and on a wider
scale than ever before in history.
z. In its early days Capitalism
exploited the labor of women and
children. This has nearly been
abolished.
:. Capitalism once imposed
overlong hours. These are now
short, and growing shorter.
4. The standard of. living I'M
der Capitalism has steadily
risen. This is exactly contrary
to Marks prediction - and to
the record on Communist coun-
tries.
s. Unemployment has been
reduced and controlled and is
now a diminishing problem.
6. The adulteration and mis-
branding of products have al

accidents occur in our homes than
in factories, offices and stores.
9. The slogan of Capitalism
once was 1.-The public be
damned. Today all progressive
companies know the Importance
of public opinion, and public
relations have become an essen
tial part of management.
.. Capitalism formerly pro-
duced crowded, unsanitary
slums. Now employers know the
value of better living conditions,
E and work for them.
10. Imperialist wars were once
waged by Capitalists and colo
NAL rule imposed on foreign
peoples. Now country after
country has given up its colonies.
That is a pretty impressive
list of differences between then"
and now" And the process is
still going on. Up to the time of
emergency controls "a result of
Communist aggression, by the
way) company after company
was developing new plans for
bonuses, pensions, incentive
wages. cost of living" wage
raises. profit-sharing and other
procedures.
In one form or another all
these methods are designed to
give more and more people
an increasing share of produc-
ton, whether in the form of
higher wages, shorter hours,
lower prices or better goods and
services.
Most of us in America know
all these facts. We know what
our ''New Capitalism" is pro-
ducing for us and what it can
produce anywhere if given a
fair chance. But hundreds of
millions of people throughout
the world don't know this. We
must find some way to make
clear in their minds the distinc-
ton between (l) our system and
the Capitalism of the past, and,
(2) between our system and Ca
pitalism as it is practiced in some
other parts of the world. Unfor-
tunately, there are still areas
where Capitalism operates in the
old, primitive way, and Capt.
talist is regarded as a men,
Der of a privileged upper group
who lodges taxes, exploits his
workers and. overcharges his
customers.
Europe's View

French American writer Lewis
Galantiere, the average Euro

the two."
