'Checking Fine Print of Fire Insurance May Burn You Up collect tlje full fSOOO loss. Because you under-insured, you can collect only 75 per cent of your actual loss, though you have paid for half again enough insurance to cover the whole business. We do not attempt to justify philosophy behind this type of policy. Much less do we condone the confusing lejal verbiage thai conceals the actual meaning of the 80 per cent clause from the average properly owner. But like it or not, that is the most common type of fire insurance policy.

Probably a majority of properly owners are even more dangerously under-insured, because of the real boom and this type of contract, than they realize. If the companies now are going In enforce such provisions more rigidly, it is the part of wisdom to find out what would happen to your biggest invesl- ment if fire should strike. Behind the Iron Curtain It is now 30 years since the Bol- sheviki banished free enterprise from Russia. Yet right in Moscow, in the shadow of the Kremlin, in a government- owned second-hand book store, it still real's its ugly head. Witness the case of Mrs.

M. S. Btikjovlseva, who filched in five years to finance a life of riotous living. Fire insurance companies warn they are lightening up on loss settlements. This makes it important for property owners to get out their policies, read the fine type, and discover how bad a beating they will take in case of fire.

Myron L. Matthews, vice-president of the Dow Service, warns lhat "probably few" policyliolders understand the terms of the contract between them and the company. The great rise in property values, and the companies' warning that they are going to begin enforcing what are known as "co-insurance" clauses, makes it high time to see if you are one of the vast majority that does not know where it stands. Policies differ, but the typical insurance clause is an "80 per cent" provision. If yours is that, and you can't quite figure out the lawyers' fine print, it probably means about this: "We won't pay more UIHII our share of the actual fire loss, no matter how much insurance you have paid us for." If you have paid foV $15,000 worth of insurance on a $12,000 house, with an 80 per cent clause, you could collect only $9600 if the house burned to the ground.

"We (the company) and you (the owner) are spHUing the risk. If your insurance is for as much as 80 per cent of the property's actual value, and it is completely destroyed, we will pay 80 pel- cent of its value, and you must stand the rest of the loss, as co-owner. If lhe house is not completely destroyed, we will pay the full value of your loss up to the face amount of the policy. "But if the policy is for less than 80 per cent of the present value of the property, and it is less than completely destroyed, we will pay only our share of the actual loss." It works like this. Your house has a present value ol $10,000 alter depreciation.

You should have it insured for 58000. If lhe house is completely destroyed, the company pays $8000. And if fire does $8000 damage, yon slill colled lhe full for which you have been paying. But suppose the $10,000 house you bought before the war is now worth $20,000 after depreciation. You have raised your insurance coverage only to Y'ou are insured for only per cent of lhe house's real only 75 per cent of what the "80 per cent co-insurance clause" says you ought to be carrying.

If the house burns to the ground, you can collect the full 512,000 for which you paid. Maybe you fee) you can stand the loss you needn't have taken, on top of the loss you couldn't avoid as co-insurer. But most fires do not completely destroy buildings. They damage them more or less. Suppose your house worth of damage.

If you were insured for is 80 per cent of the houw's could VIEWS OF OTHERS Freedom Upside Down is easy to be "against sin." It Is easy to be warmongering." It Is easy to be against irresponsible jingo journalism which endangers the security, dignity, and prestige of other nations. And it is easier still, the United Nations subcommittee on freedom of information is discovering, to clamp down a censorship Intended prevent these abuses of International journalism but actually serving me most repressive purposes of Jingoistic and dictatorial governments. One well-meant Mexican amendment to the proposed Convention on tile Gathering and International Transmission of News would sanction censorship of outgoing dispatches not only for reasons of undefined "national original and reasonable phrase was "national military for those other cloudier reasons of national dignity and prestige. While tins practice would not, unfortunately, be anything new In totalitarian countries, it would something new to have UN sanction for all In the name of increased freedom of Information. Another proposed amendment would require news organs to print any official "correction" demanded by a foreign power.

Much one would like to see flagrantly dlased news confronted with lhe facts on the other side, can anyone seriously believe it would be desirable or even possible to open the press of one nation to the flood ol propaganda (i.e., which another nation would be entitled to loose on it under UN sanction? The chief aim of the code, it should be rt- membered, Is increased freedom of information. fYeedom is always open to abuses. It permits the bad as well as the good. But the remedy for such abuses is more to get at tre facts with which to confront the lie. Any machinery to compel fairness, beyond a reasonable and agreed minimum, inevitably becomes a tool to abolish both freedom and fairness.

Heinz Schwab, member ol the Associated Press staff in Berlin, reports that the Red rulers ol East Germany are starting their intensive training with little people of six. That, I take It, is about as young as It would be profitable to go. Even Hitler, who achieved devlish wonders in organizing German youth, both boys and girls, didn't begin until they were ten years The Hitlerian training comprised not only sports and intensive physical culture to make perfect bodies, but indoctrination in Nazism.

Nevertheless, ECE has done some good. When Russian Foreign Minister Molotov decided at Paris ne would have none of the Marshal! Plan and when the Soviet forced Czechoslovakia and Poland to withdraw from it, ECE became the sole organization on which representatives ot eastern European and western European countries could work together for economic recovery. ECE held two meetings in 1U47.

ECE is not as well known in the United Stales as ERP and ECA European Recovery Program and the Economic Co-operation Ad- of They were largely organizational. lid Its third session was held at Geneva, where it set up headquarters, jus! a year ago. At this 1948 ECE meeting, Russian and stacllite members pulled their usual trick of using the commission as a sounding board pea coal supplies. This was particulary helpful in distributing coke coals, which increased European steel production.

It has tackled the problems of power, food, housing, raw materials, machinery and finance. ECE also set up a European Central Inland Transportation Organization. It has been of considerable help in establishing a rail, truck and canal networp to get business roiling. Trade control and manpower committees ol ECE have been less successful. At Geneva last year the Russians introduced proposals for increasing east-west trade and for aiding the "undeveloped" eastern European countries.

These committees have barely met. The Russians themselves never took any part in the working committees, though Czechs and Poles did. Head of ECE is Gunnar Myrdal, a tremendously smart and competent Swede. If anybody can make ECE work, it is lie. But he is handi- caped by the fact that while he gets full statistical information and co-operation from Western Europe he doesn't know what he's getting from Russia and the satellites.

They become activists under direction of the Kremlin, from which all policy flows, and early have it hammered into them that Communism stands for peace while the Western powers are warmongers bent on aggression.

Naturally this Communist training Is encountering much from older Germans who were reaiwf cd in the belief that Communism" and the devil are the same thing.
