A Defense departmen' spokesman disagreed and said if a serviceman becomes uninsurable during service NSLI eives him certain amount of insurance he couldn't get on discharge. He sl enlisted men cannot afford ade quate commercial coverage and each year in service penalizes them. The Hardy subcommittee was set up under the Congressional Reor ganization Act of 1946 to investi gate the efficiency and economy of agencies in the executive depart ment. The report soon to come out on veterans' insurance will be based on 10 months' research and four weeks of hearings. Proposal To Establish Vets' National Life Insurance Plan Involves Very Heavy Cost By DAVID 0. TYSON WASHINGTON Legislation to cut the cost of the veterans' insur ance program may soon be introduced in congress. A nouse ex penditures subcommittee has ended hearings on National Service Life Insurance (NSLI) and hopes before Congress adjourns to come up with specific recommendations for ironing out wrinkles in the pro gram. Reo. Porter Hardy (D-Va.), sub committee chairman, made it clear however that the insurance protec tion of .veterans and servicemen who now hold policies cannot be affected. "NSLI policies," he said, "are definite, irrevocable contracts between the government and the insured." But Rep. Hardy may rec ommend changes in the types of policies to be issued trom now on What they will be he isn't saying until he can study the evidence further. One likelv recommendation mieht reduce dividends slightly on present policies. During the hear ings the. subcommittee questioned whether the three percent interest paid by the government on invested NSLI fund was not too liberal a subsidy. The secretary of the treas ury, not Congress, could bring this interest rate into line witn me current market rate of 2.2 percent. The subcommittee said the govern ment in this way could have saved $210,000,000 up to Otober 1949 and still kept the NSLI fund intact. It also said the high administra tive cost of NSLI which the gov ernment pays could be reduced only by the Veterans administration (VA). It is estimated that handling each NSLI policy costs $14 a year compared to $8.49 for policies in the five largest commercial com panies. It questioned whether the VA should not pay dividends to the government when premiums were paid by the government As an inducement for enlistment, aviation cadets since 1940 have been granted $10,s00 free insurance with the government paying all premiums. However, when those premiums were discovered to he excessive, dividends totalling $16, 040.000 were paid back not to the government, but to the cadets. Annual Premiums Costly Two significant recommendations were laid before the subcommit tee by the VA insurance chief, Harold W. Breiningr He said if Congress did not extend NSLI five year term insurance it would be "a very desirable thing" for vet erans and the government. He pointed out that World War I vets who kept term insurance are get ting to the point where annual premiums are prohibitive. (Renew al of term insurance costs more as the insured gets older.) Con gress has already extended twice the World War II term insurance carried by more than 3,000,000 vet erans. Breining also said that in anoth er national emergency an NSLI S!'' """?

Wil son, president of General Motors Corp., says he's found a way. Wilson holds out GM s new five- year contract with the CIO's auto workers as a model for other em ployers, big and small. He told the national press club that GM does not expect the con tract's money items to provide a pattern. "It is our hope," he said, "that this agreement will set a pattern for bargaining based on principles that will insure industrial peace and prosperity and minimize strife and industrial warfare." Wilson said GM got a five-year guarantee against strikes from the union. The firm agreed to boost pay rates four cents an hour every year to compensate for increased efficiency. Wages were partly gear ed to the rise and fall of living costs. Workers also got pensions, insurance and longer vacations "If I were a small businessman operating a nice little business," the big business man said, "I Kould just love to take this General Motors agreement and put it right into effect in my business." Wilson said resulting "fine mo rale" from employes would help put it over. "That is my firm belief, and 1 think I have got the figurea to back it up," he said.
