F. paid the heaviest cost of the current offensive against the German capital, however, with losses in this and a subsidiary Mosquito attack on western Germany, totalling 41 planes. The weight of explosives and fire bombs dropped in last night's attack boosted the tonnage unloaded on Berlin during the past two weeks tothe 7500-mark achieved by the German air force in its entire 11-
month “blitz” on London in 1840
and 1941, Observers believed Sir Arthur T. Harris, chief of the RAF's bomber command, now was committed to an attempt to destroy Berlin with a {series of 1000 to 15000-ton raids, interspersed with an occasional super= assault, such as that in which 2300 tons were dropped Nov. 22. The air ministry's announcement {that huge fires were left burning in 'the capital appeared to confirm re[ports that the RAF was using a new {type of incendiary bomb so power{ful that they cannot even be com{pared with those dropped by the {Germans on London. | The loss of 41 planes in contrast to losses is- low as 13-bombers in

day of regulated insurance rates, can you increase the coverage to that extent and still pay less on premiums? “Why, it would take a Houdini to accomplish. that,” he. added. , - .. Republicans on the insurance committee were quite ready to admit that shey had turned a neat trick of economical magic. Mr, Huff said the saving had been effected “through the application of modern insurance methods, coinsurance, the writing of policies covering three years instead of ope,
coverage insurance.” Called “Too General’
Mr, Welch, however, challenged the figures as showing too great a discrepancy between the-1042 and the 1043 insurance setup. . “The report is entirely too gen. eral” he céomplained. “Where fs the statistical breakdown on this data? If we compared the record,
“ [policy for policy, “I don't believe
their boasts would stand up.”
The statement, which pointedly criticized supervision of insurance policies under the Democratic ad-. ministration, charged that at that time “some property. had been grossly underinsured, while other property was overinsured. Only a few of the policies which were supposed to have been filed in the controller'’s office were there, There was no expiration record and it would therefore have béen impossible for the person in charge of the insurance department to know when
|& policy should be renewed.”
Reports Error Found
“One of the first items that came under our scrutiny Was & rather obvious error in the form of an overcharge in - the amount of $356.60." It ended with the comment: “It is our thought that the citizens of Indianapolis should feel deeply grateful to all these men, to Mayor Tyndall and to your committee for applying sound business principles to this task.” To this, Mr. Welch retorted: “How has the city managed to stay solvent in these past 50 years in the absence of this present administration? You get the impression that absolutely nothing had been done correctly before they took office.” Mr. Huff assured that it had not been the committee’s intention to imply that there had been a purposeful mismanagement of insurance affairs under the Democratic administration. : :
Claims No Co-ordination
“However,” he asserted, “the evidence indicates that there: was absolutely no co-ordination of insurance matters. The policies were placed in the hands of friends and these «fellows took care of them themselves. There wasn't any co-

You remember they accused | us of not having any fire insurance |
