THE BOSTON DAILY GLOBE THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1942 TRANSLUX N. Mutual Life's Insurance in Force, Assets at Record High New York Bank Stocks Review of operations of 16 leading New York Banks sent on request. 1 I i 4 4 -i FRESHMAN OFFICERS Elsbcth Fuller, Belmont, left, and Catherine Dunker Bowen, Bryn Mawr, have been elected president and vice president, respectively, of the freshman class at Radcliffe. Insurance in force and assets of the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company increased again during 1941 to new high levels in its history, President George Willard Smith stated in presenting the company's 98th annual report to the yearly meeting of policyholders, "In the present war emergency," Mr. Smith pointed out, "there can be no man or woman who has not considered anew his personal responsibilities.

At the forefront of these responsibilities is protection for the family. For most people, life insurance is the only means of providing this essential safeguard. The life insurance they own is the chief asset of millions of our citizens, the major ally in maintaining that personal independence which is a vital part of our way of life. "Also to be emphasized," he said, "is the important contribution policyholders are making, through their life insurance, in support of the nation's war effort. A consideraDle and steadily expanding portion of the funds invested in life insurance is reinvested in government bonds and in those securities whicn neip 'c finance the industrial productivity so necessary to our national strength.

Increase in insurance in force 1941 was $51,833,000, bringing the total to $1,658,000,000, nearly 38 percent more than at the end of 1929. New insurance of $125,632,000 was issued, a gain of 12 percent over 1 Qd TYia rryoriian 'inn nf tliriCA in. buiuu unut'i me new purines i was 31 years. Payments to policyholders and beneficiaries totaled S35.21 9.000. Cf this amount, $13,081,000 death claims, and the remainder, including dividends, was paid to living i policyholders and annuitants, fne 1941 scale of dividends will be maintained for the full year 1942.

Mortality experience was the most favorable in the company's history, being 43 percent of the expected on the net amount at risk, compared with an average of 49 percent for the past five years. It is significant that policies terminated in advance of maturity, by surrender or lapse, amounted to only 2.31 percent of the mean amount of insurance in force during 1941. an extremely low level and only about one-third of that in 1932. Assets increased $34,261,000 during the year, to a new total of Liabilities amounted to of which 93 percent were reserves required by law for policies and income contracts. Unas-signed surplus funds were exclusive of $8,850,000 voted for dividends in 1942 and $3,000,000 set up as a special real estate and mortgage fund.

Feb. 12 (AP) The National War Labor Board today narrowed the differential between wage scales in Northern and Southern plants of the Aluminum Company of America by granting C. I. O.

workers in two Southern plants a 7-cent hourly minimum wage increase. The decision, of vital importance to virtually every Southern industry because it sets a precedent to govern future board actions on altering the accepted lower standard for Southern -workers, was on a split vote, 7 to 4. The four board members repre senting employers signed a dissent By another split vote the board granted higher pay for night shift workers at Alcoa's new Kensington, plant. It gave a 3-cent hourly premium for the shift (3 to 11 p. and a o-cent increase ionne shift (11 p.

m. to 7 a. Wayne L. Morse, who wrote the majority opinion in the North-aouth I aspect of the long-fought Alcoa dis-'pute, wrote the dissent on the night shift question, holding tne nignt bonus should be higher as a "work incentive," essential to round-the-clock war time production. He was joined by the labor members, making the board tally, 7 to 5.

Five plants and 18,925 workers were involved in the North-South dispute, a holdover from the old National Defense Mediation Board. Senate Groups Seek End of Profiteering WASHINGTON. Feb. 12 (AP) Two Senate committees looked to day for ways to knock profiteering out oi the war production program. Responding to a request from Donald M.

Nelson, director of the War Production Board, the Senate Defense Investigating committee called Douglas C. MacKeachie, W. P. B. director of purchases, to testify on what steps have been taken to carry out the committee's recommendations for an agency to review defense contracts.

At the same time Chairman Walsh, of Massachusetts, called the Senate Naval committee together to pass on his proposal that contractors who defraud the government in war time be punished by loss of citizen ship, like Army or Navy deserters. One approach under cons deration by the committee, Walsh said, was a proposal by Senator Byrd, Dem. of Virginia, that contractors be limited 1 iu a percentage ox ineir capuai ln vestment, rather than a percentage of the contract involved. Chairman Truman, of Missouri of the Senate Defense Investigating committee said he favored establishment of an independent auditing agency, responsible only to the President, Congress or the Comptroller General, to make a continuing check on performance of war contracts and profits made under them, so that contracts might be reopened and revised if profits were excessive or performance inferior. Truman said the committee also wished to learn from MacKeachie how Nelson's announced restrictions 1 on use of dollar-a-year men in the war program had worked.

He added that he believed a number of the dollar-a-year officials had been "sent home because of certain financial and political activities." Federal Deposit Ins. Corp. Income Gained WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 (AP) The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation reported today that it had $62,043,573 income against $5,840,478 losses and expenses last year. As in every other year since the corporation was formed in 1934.

all expenses and losses were covered by income from investments, leaving all assessments against banks to be laid aside in the surplus fund. At the end of 1941, the corporation's surplus totaled $264,199,902. Last year's income included from bank assessments and $10,647,519 from investments. Expenses included $3,695,216 for ad ministrative expenses and $2,145,262 losses on closed or merged banks. During the year, 15 banks re ceived aid from the corporation in connection witn eitner a closing or merger.

Steel Ingot Rate High Despite Scrap Shortage CLEVELAND, Feb. 12 (AP) Despite reported scrap shortages at most steel producing centers, the ingot rate currently is 98.2 percent of capacity, third highest weekly production mark in history, Daily Metal Trade says today. Ingot operations so far this year were reported to average 96.3 percent weekly, compared with 96.5 for all 1941. "These figures seem to bear out the assumption that steel makers, by one means-or another, have been able to offset whatever raw material shortages have been encountered," the trade publication said. "Charges in some quarters that the scrap industry is not cooperating to fullest extent in supplying mills with necessary materials simply are not borne out by the facts and figures.

"Considering the great drain on scrap supplies since 1938, it is little wonder difficulty now is being encountered in bringing out larger tonnages." Boston Fish Receipts Three draggers and 14 small boats arrived at the Fish Pier today with 274.600 pounds of assorted varieties of ground fish. i Fares included 84,000 pounds ofj haddock. 44,000 pounds of scrod, 000 pounds of large cod, 10,700 pounds of market cod and the rest mixed.

Martinez Ca'ado Gonzalo PeraJta Adolfo C.ron Carmen Beatrix Ramon Chantol Lucy DeUado Indalacio Gmo Calles Eduardo Pedro Armendariz "Sins of Bali" at the Fine Arts Theatre is the dressed-up title of a former feature at the same theatre! which was known before as "Wajan, Son of a witch." 'mis is a reany fascinating story of Balinese cus toms, traditions and manners, with plenty of Balinese dancing and re ligious rites to make tne story more exotic. The new picture on the program is called "She Devil Island and was made in Mexico. It is what might be called a Class adventure film were it produced in Hollywood. Surely there were never more hair-raising adventures, such plots and counter plots, and, for good measure, an island inhabited wholly by beautiful Amazons clothed in ropes of pearls, who carry handsome feathered spears as weapons. A proud Princess, who is cap tured by a band oi bad peari poachers, is finally rescued by the hero and his courageous group of seafarers.

With the pearls given him as a reward Rogelio returns to his home and pays for an operation which will save the sight of the girl he loves, who had jilted him but repented of her misdeeds. Most of his pals remain on the island to make the lot of the Amazon beauties a little less lonely. A hrdeous mummy covered with pearls has an important part in the astounding tale, and a couple of sailors and their dog swim to shore in one of the final episodes, thus rescuing the captured hero. It is not explained how the two men carried a whole arsenal of guns with them. "La Bamba," a rather passionate Mexican version of the rhumba as known in northern night clubs, is interpreted by Emilio and Amparo.

John Ford, lost to the films during the "duration" because of his duties in Washington, is a maker of artistic, beautiful and memorable motion pictures. Famous in Hollywod, winner of various Academy awards and prizes for his productions, he has achieved a farewell picture that has been mentioned as the best film of the year. The bettrm? in film circles is that it will top "Sergeant for the coveted Academy "Oscar." There is a wealth of characterization and colorful detail in the Richard Llewellyn novel of Welsh life from which "How Green Was My Valley" was adapted.

This is an unforgettable cinema masterpiece and if you don't see the picture you will miss one of the film events of the decade. There are no great box office stars in the cast but there are a dozen fine portrayals, with that of little Roddy McDowall, English refugee child, as the most outstanding. The plot is not closely knit-there is no melodramatic climax but there is honesty of story, thrilling romance in which real life is used as the pattern, and a plethora of human interest happenings.

Feb. 12 (AP) Textile quarters reported today that British cotton controller Frank Piatt had asked spinners to be economical in their use of American cotton. Piatt in a letter suggested that a greater percentage of cotton other than American-grown be used, such as Indian. Brazilian and West African staple. Trade circles felt the controller's request did not indicate an actual or impending shortage of American cotton: instead they suggested there were political as well as economic reasons for boosting Lancashire's consumption of cotton from countries whose growers now are without access to their usual export markets.

Canadian Newsprint Shipments Increase MONTREAL. Feb. 12 (Canadian Press) Canadian newsprint mills operated at 84.4 percent of capacity in January to produce 311,904 tons, an increase of 19.4 percent over the like period a year ago. Shipments totaled 291.998 tons, a gain of 20 percent. United States production was off 5 percent at tons, and Newfoundland's output fell 113 percent.

Shipments in both countries were lower by the same proportions. Canadian shipments to the United States rose 34 percent and to domestic customers 21.3 percent; those to overseas customers fell 54.1 percent with a total oi 16,820 tons, compared with 35.495 in December and 36,659 a year ago. tne home office property, amount to toc on, nhn fK i The total real estate ac- ouncl lmhts S12.25 12.75; most Jbu 01 S3d.lU3.UUU IS less BIQ HITS 2 theatre feeling as if a true picture of Wales has been unrolled on the screen, not a Hollywood-born piece of "play acting." It is this particular quality which has characterized previous Ford productions, and in vhich lies his secret as a master workman. The musical background and the various song interpolations bring drama to the story but are also gratifyingly authentic. It is true that the singers are from the Welsh Presbyterian Church of Los Angeles, but in their mining costumes they look as if they had never even dreamed of any couatry apart from their native Wales.

Their songs have a heart warming note. No one plot runs through the entire film, as a motivation. Yet there are many powerful pictures or me in a weisn xown. a scene that is poignant and bitter concerns the sending of young Huw to the district school where he is tortured i by cruel children and beaten by the I most insufferable schoolmaster of all times. One can not blame over; enthusiastic audiences for bursting! into applause when this sadistic creature meets physical I punishment for his mistreatment of Huw.

i Angharad, played admirably by Maureen O'Hara, vainly loves Pastor Gruffyd (Walter Pidgeon) and her marriage to the well to do squire's son is a social triumph but a heartfelt tragedy for the sensitive girl. Black sorrow comes to the Morgan clan when the father meets his death in a flooded mine. Sara Allgood, i mother of splendid sons, must take one blow of fortune after but her courage and her faith seldom falter. Huw rescues his mother the night she dares the miners to harm her husband, as one of his early experiences. He; also falls in love with a pretty sister-in-law.

Later he joins his' father and brothers as a worker in the mine that spreads its sooty and baneful influence over the green valleys- of Wales. The story has been skillfully di-l rected, but the reason why the; picture is considered worthy of an Academy award is that it touches! the heart of the people. The drama is no "made up" tale, but a pano- ramie glimpse of the small joys, the unmeasurable needs, the many griefs of a whole countryside. It is a story cf life that is no more in I that respect the appeal is nostalgic but it is also a drama of people in every community.
