    Not, many groups have failed
,to share in the prosperity in
duced by war expenditures. There
is one group, however, which Is
licking its wounds, and that is
the insurance companies, both
fire insurance companies and
auto insurance companies. ' The
former have taken their licking
-from ; heavier fire losses which
Increase in; building values and
costs of repair also nick them.
But the ! auto insurance com
panies are taking the real beat
ing. . . '; "!!! '. " -.
. Remember two years ago when
the financial responsibility law
went into effect and insurance
agencies were worn down writing
policies for automobile owners?
That business looked good to
them and to the. companies, but
the companies borrowed a lot of
trouble when they took on that
business.
Where they are getting nicked
is in the increased cost of auto
mobile repairs. Where once it
might cost three or four dollars
to iron out, a fender or replace a
damaged nart! now the bill may
' run to eight or ten dollars. And
with nearly every car insured
that means that every time there
is an auto collision one or per
haM two cars are repaired at
insurance company expense. That
is why, in two short years the
faces of insurance executives are
not wreathed in the smiles of
two vears ami.
The companies added to their
own grief when they scaled down
rates on automobile insurance

CHUNGKING, June 1ZHP)-
Chinese troops forced the broad
Feiyun river barrier and reoccu-
pied the small port of Juian on
China's east coast today in a fast-
moving drive on Wenchow, only
14 miles north, the Chinese high
command reported; '
Closely supported by armed Chi
nese guerrillas emerging from
coastal hills, Chinese regufars
poured into Juian after a 10-mile
advance from captured Pingyang,
24 miles south of the big former
treaty port -which l;es 440 miles
west of Okinawa.
The Japanese were falling back
cn Wenchow, with Its population
of 80,000, with the Chinese close
on their heels and battling to clear
the entire invasion-threatened Chi
nese coastline northwest of the
Japanese island of Formosa.
There were signs that the Jap
anese were going to pull out of
Wenchow with the same lack o;
resistance that marked their aban
donment I of Foochow, 160 miles
southwest three weeks ago.

Fall Soon
; By Spencer Davis
MANILA, Thursday, June 14
(JP) Australian forces seized 3600
foot Brunei air field, two miles
north of the British North Borneo
capital, and the capture of anoth
er field, on Labuan island, off
Brunei bay, is imminent, head
quarters announced today.
Fall of the port city of Brunei,
perhaps without a fight, may come
at any time.
The landings Sunday in Brunei
bay, a spokesman said, caught the
Japanese by surprise. It is evi
dent the enemy expected an allied
landing at Jesselton, 60 miles to
the northwest.
Advance 14 Miles
Digger! columns advanced 14
miles from Brooketon in 48 hours
to seize the Brunei air field. Only a
few disorganized Nipponese were
encountered.
The occupation gives the allied
forces not only command of the
strip but also some of the finest
rubber plantations in Borneo,
within the immediate vicinity.
On Labuan Island, off Brunei
bay, Australian cavalry comman
dos mechanized forces who
landed at Point Hamilton "moved
over easy rotting coconut" ' and
rubber plantation country' to with
in two miles of Tambalai airstrip
the third air field of import
ance in the invaded area.
Overran Quickly
The first captured air field, on
Labuan island, was overrun with
in a few hours of the Australian
Ninth division's landing.
.Japanese demolition teams
working in frantic haste in ad
vance of the swiftly advancing
allied forces, put the torch j to the
great Seria and Miri oil fields to
the southwest of Brunei arid pre
sumably dynamited the wells.
In addition to the prize-package
seizure of Brunei air field, the
Australian Ninth made a success
ful daylight landing two miles
east of Brunei town without op
position. j

worked out at a Roos evelt-Church-
ill-Stalin meeting at Yalta this
spring. 11
But 15 nations abstained from
voting. IS
Not all the delay on the .veto
question was caused by small-
power opposition. When they ask
ed for an interpretation ofiiow the
vote would Jwork, Russia was at
odds with the! United States, Brit

in line only after the United States
appealed to jfremier Stalin.
delegates reported the first pro
vision was approved unanimously,
that Cuba alhne.voted against the

the third was 30 for, 15 abstaining,
3 absent, and Cuba and Colombia

With the veto issue settled ex

that Great Britain's world influ

critical time by the bitter general
election campaign.
He alluded; to President Tru

"Until the election has been
decided,' we are bound to be
weakened In the world for all
purposes." ;

to be I the heart-center of the

The war has cost the United
States 1334 merchant ships and
6068 merchant seamen . .dead
missing or captured, the maritime
commission reported tonight j
Together, the united ' nations
and neutral countries expended
a vast fleet of 4770 ships of 21,4
140,000 gross tons btween the out-j
break of warfare in Europe on
Sept 1, 1939, and May 8, 1945,
At the same time the army dis4
closed that 3604 American sc-14
diers were lost in the sinking or!
damage of troopships in! the 41
months of war against Germany;
and Italy a loss of four men for,
each 10,000 embarked. The army
said the loss rate for world war I
was 72 per 10,000 or nearly twice
as large.
Bulk of the American merchant
tonnage destroyed 570 ships of
5,431,456 tons by deadweight
measurement was sent to the
bottom by mines, submarines and
air attack. j
The other 984 American flag
vessels, mostly small ships and
totaling only 845.621 tons dead
weight, were lost in marine acd-i
dents resulting from convoy op-t
erations, blackouts, reduced navi-j
gation aids and other wartime
In tonnage, the U. S. losses;
represent less than one third the
deadweight production of Ameri-j
can shipyards in the single fiscal
year of 1944.
"An overwhelming percentage
of the merchant vessels were de-i
stroyed by German or Italian
submarines, air attacks and!
mines with 68 lost In Japanese;
areas," said the special report by
Vice Admiral Emory S. Land.;
maritime chairman.
