have been installed. work has
been stopped since mid October
and uncertainty continues as to
whether the controversial high
way might come right through
GEICO's 2S-acre site, take
around seven acres of the best
land and force a costly re-
designing Of the entire struc-
ture.
In the annual GE1CO report,
now being mailed to stockhold-
ers, President Leo Goodwin es-
timated the total real estate
investment in the new building
near the intersection of Wis
consin and Western avenues
had reached $9O5, 1856. including
cost of land and partial con-
struction on a deprecated cost
basis. However. additional plan
ming costs Of at least 500, 900
have been indicated.
Mr.. Goodwin expressed hope
the company would be able to
complete the project late in
1859, but at a company press
briefing on the annual report
Friday. it was emphasized the
highway uncertainty continues.
It also was disclosed the COM
pany has received some inter-
esting offers of other sites. In
the meantime it is paying for
leased quarters to accommodate
its growing business.
Claims Cut Earnings
GEICO's growth continued
in 1857 although rising auto
claims reduced net income 25
per cent below the preceding
year, President Goodwin stated
in the annual report.
In line with the experience
of other casualty companies.
company losses during the year
rose to $24,320.064 from $18.-
452.878 in the previous year.
Net income declined to 81, 1884,
125 from $2,258, SOB.
Net premiums rose to $685.
246,341, a gain Of 27.7 per cent
from $28,372,906 in 1856 and
policies in force on December
81 reached a new high Of 49,
443, an increase of 1876 per cent
from 1907 policies in force at
the end of 1866.
Total admitted assets set an
other record of $54. ,060 at
the close of 1857, an increase
of 1871 per cent from $45.492,-
464 a year earlier. Unearned
premium reserve stood at $19.-
275,138. a gain Of 80 per cent
from $14,828,42S.
More Rate Increases Due
President Goodwin said the
urgent need for rate adjust
mentS was recognized by insur-
ance authorities of virtually all
States in 1857 and rates were
raised.
THE full impact of these
rate changes will not be felt
until mid-195S, but it already
has become obvious that an
other round of increases must
be granted in 1858 if premiums
are to reflect the industry-wide

the preceding three years with

declared.

plant France there. Ana after
the arms shipment to Tunisis
last November by America and
Britain. the French feeling is
that Britain may be up to
something dirty, too. So it has
been a firm French policy to
keep foreigners out Of the Al
gerian dispute.
Now. the French government
is willing to invite foreigners
into the dispute and there has
been no public protest. France
has now "internationalized''
the Algerian border. AS the
bord er cannot be separated
from the country, 1t is thought
here that the Algerian problem
also is on its way to being inter-
nationalized. This, neutrals be-
lieve, could break the logjam in
Algeria and lead to an end to
the three-year-old revolt.
Another good omen is seen in
the fact that both France and
Tunisia want the good will of
the United States. There is
hope that both will try to APP
pear reasonable during nego-
tiations.

group Of Americans producing
a round-the-world travelogue

ly South Pacific Islands Of
Raratonga after having beer
stranded there several days.
1t is believed there were nine
people on the chartered Cata-

Others went to Western Samoa

conked out on a flight from

2. France wants international
supervision of the Tunisian-

Tunisia apparently is willing
for the border to be supervised,
but doesn't want to take part.
3. France seems willing to
close some of her consulates in
Tunisia provided Tunisia agrees
the consular officials are not
persona non grata." Tunisia is
willing to leave some of the
conSulateS open but insists on
the right to declare anyone it

parties is: Our side will nego-

sef and insist it is up to France
to make sweeping amends. The
French are sincerely angry over
Tunisian aid to the rebels who
are killing French troops in the
Algerian war.
Emotionalism is understand
able also If it is kept in mind
that the real issue between
France and Tunisia is the
Algerian war. Tunisians be-
lieve the rebels are right and
should have independence or
at least self-government with a
right to independence. France
says Algeria is a part of France
and can no more be independ-
ent than can Brittany or
Provence.
Arab nationalism and French
patriotism are not things to be
easily bargained away.
Mix this with a French at
tack on sacred, sovereign
Tunisian soil. add the Tunisia-
aided rebel forays against
Frenchmen and compromise"
becomes a word for traitors.
The principal job of America
and Britain, who have been
invited by the United Nations
to put their good Offices" to
work in resolving this dispute,
is to cool of the two sides and
get them to concentrate on
areas of agreement. rather than
national honor.
Both sides go into the talks
with firm, publicly stated, ir-
reconcilable positions. Tunis-
ians say if they do not get sat-
isfaction from the West, they
will be forced to turn to Col.
Nasser's Egypt. or even to
Russia. Frenchmen say that If
Tunisia is permitted to get
away with it, France may have
to choose between Algeria and
NATO.
Some Hopeful Signs
The mere fact that America
and Britain have been invited
to take part in the negotiations
is seen by neutral observers as
a good sign for the future.
It is probable that m o S t
Frenchmen believe America is
trying to thwart French policy

In Arms Aid

Senate O'Mahoney. Demo-
crat Of Wyoming. has urged
the Senate to radically reduce
military aid to other countries
this year.
In a memorandum filed with
the Foreign Relations Com
mittee yesterday, he argued
that economic aid is much
more likely to be effective than
military assistance"
The amount requested by
the administration for military
aid is $l,8 billion out Of a
total foreign aid request Of
about $50 billion.
Contending that world con-
ditions have changed since the
death of Stain. Senator
O'Mahoney said the Russians
are emphasizing economic war.
Ugres Security Act Changes
He also recon m n de d
changes In the Mutual Sec
urity Act to require:
/. Reports to Congress on
assistance loans and other pro-
grams be made before rather
than after the transactions are
completed.
2. American firms investing
through the guarantee pro-
visions of the Development
Loan Fund to give bond as
surfing that they will not vio-
late antitrust laws.
8. No loans be made to any
Communist countries. In this
connection he maintained that
any aid administered by Com
munist dictators will be re-
presented to the suffering peo-
pie Of those areas as a sly at
tempt of the United States to
step into the imperialistic boots
of the colonial empires which
have died"
Hits Delegating Of Power
Senator O'Mahoney, who long
has complained Of a tendency
in Congress to delegate its
powers to the Executive, cited
the foreign aid law as an ex-I
ample of this trend. He said
Congress not only delegates
discretionary controls over
foreign aid spending to the
President, but permits him to
re-delegate 1t to his subordi-
mates.
House and Senate committees
have completed hearings on
foreign aid. and the House
committee will begin voting
Tuesday. The Senate Foreign
Relation Committee porbably
will decide when Congress re-
turns next week whether to
begin acting on the bill i'm
mediately. or to wait and see
what changes the House COM
mittee makes.
