Mystery About Auto
Insurance Solved

The mystery Of the best buy" in
auto insurance, the tangled web
that most motorists know little or
nothing about, has been solved by
the editorial research board of Car
Life Magazine, in an exclusive ar
ticle appearing in the November is
sue. After two months of study and
evaIuation of SO auto insurance
companies by the national maga-
zines research team, the State
Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance
Company of Bloomington, Illinois,
was awarded the Car Life Magazine
Seal of Merit Award for "the ma
tion's best buy in auto insurance.
when you are ready to buy your
policy" Car Life found, you need
not shop for one that offers every
thing and a little extra. Today, all
policies have. standard provisions
and most companies use the stand
ard policy. But what you do need
to consider is this: The kind and
amount of protection your particu-
lar needs require. The cost Of the
policy and the reputation and sta
bility of the company insuring you.
However, these are by no means
the only or most important factors
to be taken into account in buying
auto insurance" the magazine ar
ticle continues. What is important
is what happens when you present
your insurance company with
claim"
"Is the agent or representative
easily reached? Is he cooperative
Does he represent you as well as
the company? Will the company
try to talk you out of your claim
| or reduce it? Will you nave to wal
a long period for settlement? vii
the company force you to go t
court? In short, will your insur
ance policy do what it claims t
do?"
Taking all these factors into con
sideration, the magazine editor
found that State Farm Mutua

the best hope since 1852 that they

Just how badly the American
manufacturers have been hurt is
seen in the fact that since the duty
on imported bicycles was cut in
l948 to as low as seven-and-a-half
per cent (and the devaluatiOn of
the British pound in 1949 was
equivalent to another 80 per cent

French concerns that came into

ENCOURAGE OWNERSHIP

A few months ago Keith Funston, Presi-
dent of the New York Stock Exchange, in
talk before the National Association of
Securities Administrators, made certain
recommendations for law reVisiOns in order
to simplify giving stock in American enter
prise to minors. One can open savings ac-
counts or buy savings bonds for children
without any complications. If necessary, the
money can be withdrawn or the bonds sold
without trouble. But in the case Of stocks
the parents can't sell or manage them for
the benefit of the child without riSking legal
penalties To be safe, he must have himself
appointed guardian by a court or establish a
trust-which often are complicated and ex-
pensive proceedings.
Mr. FunstOns talk was given much fav-
Orable attention in newspapers, and now it
seems to be bearing fruit On February 16,
bill was introduced in the New York State
Legislature embOdying his recommendations.
Prior to that time, bills with the same
objective were introduced in the legislatures
OF Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Massa-
chusetts and Ohio. Similar bills are pending
in other states. The legislation would allow
parents to make gifts of stock while retain
ing custody for management purposes.
This is not a technical matter. These
bills would arrange a simple method that
would contribute to broadening and diversi-
tying the ownership of our economy and
create interest and knowledge among those
who, some day, will have the burden of pre-
serving this free form of government. PeO-
pie who have an understanding of the
sources of our wealth and strength won't
fall for the Establishments of those who would
destroy our freedoms from within and bring
about dictatorship here. That understanding
should be part of every child's education
and stock ownership, no matter how small
the scale, would contribute to it immeas-
uTaby.

About One-quarter of all New
York Stock Exchange members act
as specialists. One specialist NAV
handle a number of stocks, but.
in the case of very active issues,
there may be a number of spe-
clallsts handling the same issue.
The Exchange has rigid rules
governing the market experience
and financial standing of special
lists. The specialist must assume
full responsibility for all orders
to buy or sell turned over to him.
maintaining a fair and orderly
market in the stocks in which he
speclalizes. His personal interests
in the market must at all times be
subordinated to the best interests
of his customers. He cannot buy
for his own account until he has
executed all public orders held by
him at the given price. In a nut
she'll, the specialist is a very i'm
pOrtant wheel in the Exchanges s
machinery-absolutely necessary to
its smooth functioning. And re-
peat, he is there to protect the
buying and selling public.
The $64 Question
This is what can be done to
help the innocent investor not to
get hooked by tips. The simplest
protection would probably be to
cOnfine the investments of all dis
pensers of tips-see Financial
Supplement of New York Times-to
U. S. Government Bonds or bank
accounts only. Yet, this would not
prevent Winchell from passing out
tips, as he now claims that he
has no direct or indirect interest
in any stock which he recommends.
Forty years serving Stock Ex-
changes makes me believe that the
best protection is education and
publicity. Some have suggested
that the specialists book of untitled
orders be made public for a time
in advance of execution. This would
not, however, be possible in rapid
ly moving trading such as takes
place on the floor of the Exchange.
Furthermore, a true picture would
be most difficult to obtain as orders
on the books can be pulled out
any time. Thus, the specialists
books shift with the varying at
titudes of the public. Perhaps it
might help if investors who buy
and sell in small lots were re-
quired to put limits on their or
ders. All in all, however, con-
clude that the real question is
one of educating the buyers and
the sellers of stocks.
Milford chronicle., 1955-03-18

Furthermore, there have been
mergers which required higher
mathematics to make the correct
adjustments. These were made in
order to befair. It is very wrong
for any member Of the FuIbright
Committee to suggest Juggling. In
fact, Of the 1929 DOw-JOnes List of
80 stocks only IL remain in the
present list of 80 stocks. Incident
ally, it is rather interesting that
the Wall Street JOurnal-Owned by
the DOw-Jones Company-apparent-
ly desires to sidestep this entire
Average problem.
Other Averages
There are other important aver
ages" such as the New York Times
Averages. Their Industrial Average
is made up of 25 stocks; but the
comparison may easily be checked.
If the New York Times Average
goes up, the DOw-JOnes Industrial
Average usually also goes up, but
by varying amount. Other lead
ing newspapers have separate
Averages; but if plotted, they all
will be nearly parallel in move
ment.
The Boston Stock Exchange
brOadcasts the 'BabsOn Averages
each Monday through Friday at
noon and after the close of the
market. The real value of these
Averages is not to compare with
1929; but to compare with "yester-
day or a week or month ago.
Now just a word regarding "Spe-
cialists,' which seemed to trouble
the Committee.
Specialists Described
In fact, the Specialist is the
protector of the public who buy and
sell stocks. He is charged by the
New York Stock Exchange with a
very specific and extremely re-
sponsible duty, namely that of
making a market" in one OF
more issues. To do this he must
often risk his own funds by buying
a stock in a falling market at a
higher price than the public will
pay at any given moment. In a
rising market, the specialist is
expected to sell stock from his
own account at a lower price than
the public is willing to sell. This
prevents wide gyrations in the
market price of any given stocks
and protects a hurried seller from
being clipped" by being forced
to accept a low price for his stock
Conversely, an anxious buyer is
protected against paying too high
price at any given time.

Operation Stick-Un

eXtravagant, far more expensive.
far more impractical, namely glOri-
fled or supplementary unemplOy-
ment compensation"
What has made our existing nm
employment compensation system
tick, as Mr. MOlthrOp pointed out.
is the fact that the benefits are
low enough that the laid-off worker
will look for another Job, rather
than merely enjoying a well-paid
vacation until his old empIOver
wants him back While the Reuther
demands on the auto firms are
still to be spelled out, the UAW is
on record as expecting weekly un-
employment payments "in amounts
sufficient to insure take-home pay
adequate to maintain the living
standards the worker and his fami-
ly enjoyed while fully employed. 3"

Dear Friends:
While my husband is flying lets

daughters are flying kites with
pint size civilians, can write nv
weekly letter to you.
Let me tell you about the fright I
had Thursday of this week. HAYES

six p. m, and left almost immedi-
ately to instruct a student pilot in

about this one.
About 7:45 that evening above the
blare Of television / could hear
real high winds out side. ran out
the back door to bring in clothes
off the line and really became un-
easy. Out here on the plains you
never know just what weather will
occur from hour to hour and 1
didn't know if my ia lbs would
keep me earth anchored or not,
When / returned to the house
the phone was ringing and the stu
dent pilots wife's alarmed voice
was on the other end of the line.
/ thought / had consOled her about
the safety of our husbands, hung up
and found my nerves were at loose
ends. Our lawn chairs in the front
yard were being thrown against
the house and again / went outside
this time to retrieve them and
wondered if my frame would be
the next debree flying helter-skelter
| through the air.
1t was an eternity before Hayes
| came home and it was then that
| found out the wind velocity was
55 miles an hour. That's pretty
much wind in a light plane. Air
Lines going over Kansas City said
the dust filled wind storm was
10000 feet high, which is what they
climbed to get over the storm.
When Hayes took off from the air
field the winds were only 10 miles
so naturally there was no cause
for alarm then. Thank heavens

get in quickly and safely.
