Insurance Rates Reflect Possibility Of Deadlier War National Survey Of Risk Firms Shows Extra Life Premiums SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 4- (U.P) -With the possibility of a new and deadlier war for civilians and soldiers developing from the European and Far Eastern conflicts, American insurance generally have begun consideration of extra premfums to cover such hazards, a nationwide insurance survey reveals.

The survey showed how much more seriously insurance companies are taking the, present war than past ones. case of both the Spanish-American and World Wars, it was found that many of the companies when the losses turned out to be much less than had been expected, refunded extra premiums. Also at the close of the World War, 95 per cent of the companies dropped their war service restrictions from their ordinary life coverage, because were convinced that another war for this country Was a too remote and negligible contingency to justify retaining such clauses. Now the possible necessity of reinstating them is under consideration, the survey reveals. Special Clause Included Since the outbreak of European hostilities, war clauses for new policies have been announced several companies and others having them prepared.

Canadian and British companies, it was found, acted immediately the outbreak of war by putting restrictions on extra war risk premiums on new policies. The new hazards of aerial bombardments to civilian populations are reflected in Canadian insurance policy changes, covering lives of civilians leaving the North American continent for war zones. Such persons were classed as being under almost as much danger service men, judging form the tra rates, the survey revealed. These new extra premiums are generally equal or nearly to those charged for those covering military service. The survey showed that comparatively short time that United States was actually engaged in the World War is mainly credited with the low mortality from war hazards, although losses to companies doing a large foreign business also were considerably less than was expected.

In the World War, British forces in France lost approximately 7 cent That of their reduced number toward per, was of the war. The French calulated casualties in proportion to number of men moblized at per cent in the five months of That was reduced later, partly to increased moblization and ly to increasing artillery superiority. In the case of the United States companies, losses on soldier salior policy holders were actually less than on other lives, the vey showed. Huge losses, however, were sustained by these companies as a result of the flu epidemic. However, substantial in excess of premiums collected the World War by the United States war risk insurance overcome in another way.

This surance had been sold to service men at extremely low rates, the extra losses covered by Treasury. More than $1,000,000,000 of such claims were awarded by government up to Sept. 30, the survey established. At the time the present war gan the policies of 95 per cent the companies provided full lar life insurance coverage with restrictions regarding military ice and provided full coverage case of subsequent death in tary service by the holders. The survey developed that had been a rush of Englishmen obtain insurance just before since England went into the war, Sun Glass Continued From Page One ism.

To a certain degree it is just that. But realists insist it is an indication that America is at last about to assert itself to the full degree its strength will permit.

Beat him here and the seven other districts will roll up a Democratio majority of more than 100,000 next Tuesday to crown your efforts," the Democratic nominee told his listeners.

Johnson answered what he said were "vague insinuations and criticisims" Judge King Swope, his Republican opponent, concerning administration of the state school fund. State Saves Money Governor Johnson asserted that local school district were receiving more than the state appropriation called for as a result of selling school warrants at a premium. addition he asserted the state had saved money by issuing new warrants at a lower rate of interest to replace older warrants which had a higher coupon rate. "I have always been told that was a fine thing if a man made two blades of where only had grown before," Johnson said, "but in this we have made two blades of grass grow where none was growing before.

Florida Everglades, where rich mucklands, if properly developed, could produce almost 30,000,000 tons of sugar annually, lies on its "deathbed," according to R. V. Allison, head of the department of chemistry and soils at the University of Florida. "There is no doubt that the Everglades is on its deathbed, a youthful area though it is, and one that has an almost, incompar- a able future in terms of agricultural possibilities," Allison said. Allison, who has made extensive studies of soil and water conditions in the Everglades, asserted in a report to a sub-committee state Senate that the future of the area depended on development of a definite plan of conservation during the next few years.

He believed such a plan, while possible, would be difficult to evolve because of the physiographic components of the Everglades, and the fact that a small percentage of the vast area-about 100,000 acresnow under cultivation would require a method of conservation different from the undeveloped sections. Annual Fires Disastrous Allison blamed "progressive dewatering" of undeveloped Everglades lands during the past 25 years for annual spring fires, which this year burned over estimated million acres of the area, destroying uncultivated land potentially worth $500,000,000. He also cited overdrainage for stopping the formation of the soil and thus producing shrinkage and oxidation losses. He said other results of "dewatering" the undeveloped secwere: 1. Destruction of many of the most important natural features of the National Everglades Tropic park area.

2. Lowering of the fresh watertable under the agricultural areas of South Florida," with heavy damage to the natural productivity of these areas in terms of winter vegetables and sub-tropical fruits." 3. A "dangerous" decline of the recharging action by the surface waters over important domestic water supply areas to the west of metropolitian sections of the lower east coast of Florida that "1s causing real alarm at 4. A notable effect in producing lower winter temperatures. Re- Project Mapped Allison advocated a program of conservation which would include "re-watering" the Everglades, sharply differentiating the needs the reclaimed areas from those of the unreclaimed or "reserve" areas.

"In a problem of this dimension, long range planning must be I stressed," consideration he added. should be "Very given careful to water relationships as between dewhich veloped and consideration undeveloped will become areas, a part of the general plan of development for the Everglades area in the future." There are approximately 000 acres of organic soils of great potential value in the Everglades proper, Allison said, which correctly treated and carefully cultivated would be highly productive. "Sugar yields during the past season have been as high as 9.25 tons per acre on cultivated Everglades land," he said. "More than a thousand boxes of celery have been produced per acre; more than 35 tons of cabbage, and other crops in proportion." Difficulties Not Unique Allison believed a solution to the Everglades conservation problem would prove valuable to "practically every state in the union though notably, perhaps, Minnesota, Michigan, California, and North Carolina," similar difficulties in handling organic soils have been encountered. Florida meanwhile took steps to fight 8 recurrence of the destructive spring blazes of preceding years.

The Everglades Fire Control District Board at an organization meeting voted to set up in its budget the full $75,000 allotted it by the legislature. It was believed a considerable amount would be expended for additional fire-fighting equipment, lack of which sorely hampered efforts to curb the blazes last spring. Everglades fires burn persistently because the soil itself is consumed once ignited. The area controlled by the board comprises 11 districts which will be patrolled by 8 chief warden with 11 assistants.

City Of Flint Continued From Page One to Murmansk, Soviet Russian Arctic port, through cold and dangerous waters. Nazis Leave Ship The Americans had the ship to themselves at Murmansk for several days. The Germans were taken ashore and interned for a time and then returned and the ship sailed again. Thereafter her progress was caultious until she arrived again at Tromsoe where the German, consul came aboard.

The Americans said their biggest thrill was last night when the ship dropped anchor at Haugesund, Norwegian officials came aboard, removed the German crew and told the Flint's officers they were free to sail anywhere they pleased. Arrives Saturday The freighter arrived here today from Haugesund. She came here from Haugesund, 75 miles down the Norwegian coast, leaving behind the prize crew, which was interned by Norway in the sudden climax to the ship's as the war prize of a adventures raider.

In the darkness observers could not see what flag she flew. American Crew Controls But tine early morning announcement the Norwegian admiralty that the ship should be "given free" left no doubt that the American crew again was in charge. German possession of the City of Flint, which began October 9 when prize crew boarded her from the pocket battleship Deutschland, ended after British warships had sighted her on her way toward Germany. Since leaving Murmansk, Soviet Russian port where the German crew had sailed her, City of Flint had traced the coast of Norway within territorial waters to escape the British blockade. Her attempted dash for Germany ended as she approached a point where she would have had to cross the Baltic sea to reach Germany, blockaded by a cordon of British men o' war, There had been no indication, however, the British planned any attempt to seize the freighter, Disregarded Regulations Disregard for Nrowegian regulations apparently hastened the last chapter, The admiralty's statement saldt "The American City of Flint with a German prize crew, was allowed to' use Norwegian territorial waters from Tromsoe southward.

The ship, accompanied by a Nowegian warship Olav Tryggvason and one torpedo boat, arrived at Haugesund Friday evening and anchored Haugesund without permission. "As there was no valid reason for calling at the Norwegian port, authorities decided the ship should be given free and the German prize crew interned." Norwegian naval officials said also a warning shot had been fired across the freighter's bow when failed to heed a signal from a Norwegian warship to slow down. There were reports the vessel put into Haugesund to land American seaman who had become 111 since leaving Murmansk. It had not been confirmed officially that a sick man was aboard City of Flint, however, and impression prevailed among shipping men here that the "sick" American may have been a ruse provide cause for the Germans anchor at Haugesund. year since 1926 has brought above normal heat in that city.

These record's have been completed only up to 1932. Although not a part of the climate change evidence, the world's coldest and hottest figures may be involved in the change. The coldest on record was 90.4 below zero In Siberia. This happened in February 1892. The hottest recorded, however, came in September 1922, with 136.4 degrees in Tripolitania, a North African possession of Italy.
