DeMille spent a quarter of a million dollars — in the making of a new motion picture version of “The Ten Commandments” suggests that the often maligned movie “spectacle” has made a contribution to scholarship of considerable importance. / The decision of the University of Southern California Press to publish in book fornr^ research conducted at Mr. DeMille’s commission is an indication of the historical importance of material concerning the 30 years of Moses’ life which is not mentioned in the Bible. It may serve to ./ emphasize the contributions movies, plays, novels, and other art forms have made to pubic knowledge of history. Because history sometimes has been abused by those who operate in these media, there is a tendency to dismiss all such ventures as unworthy, In truth, some extremely painstaking and very valuable historical research has been done in the interests of writing fiction and for the various entertainment media. Public knowledge of many periods and areas in history is far wider for these efforts. Only occasionally is the information thus supplied un reliable. Recognition of the effort Mr. DeMille has made in this latest of his pictures comes as a fitting reward to a man who has been concerned with making the most of oppor tunities offered by a popular entertainment medium to widen the general sphere of knowledge. The importance pf this research undoubtedly will outlast the motion picture for which it was done. This is no new phenomenon. Popular art forms, which may be scorned by contemporary intellectuals, often have inspired distinguished achievement to which succeeding generations have acknowledged a debt. Thus, Cecil B. DeMille’s motion pictures may be best known today for such spectacular scenes as the Queen of Sheba taking a bath in milk.-Their contributions both to popular knowledge and to scholarship will, in the long run, considerably exceed this vivid impression of today. Mayor (Continued From Pgfi One) called city police officers to watch me take a bribe,” Schrunk said. "I don’t know how silly you can be.” Signs of Untruth Schrunk testified after Chair man John L, McClelian D-Arkm read a letter' from Secret Service Chief V. E.

Allstate (Conttnaei from Pa{i One) The Allstate life Insurance Com pany, Eger continued, will be ca pitalized for $5,000,000 with $1, 000,000 as capital and $4,000,000 as surplus. It will be owned solely by Allstate, which in turn is a sub sidiary of Sears, Roebuck and Co. Allstate’s assets at year's end were in excess of $379,000,000. Kenney Heads Company Clarence B. Kenney, long time executive and senior vice president of the Allstate Insurance Company, will head up the new life company as president. Davis W. Ellis, who has been sales vice president of Allstate, will pe vice president in charge of sales development for the new company, while Edward J. Mullen, with many years of ex perience in the life insurance field, will be actuary. The new company win be located in Skokie, 111., and will utilize spa ce in the same building housing the other Allstate ‘insurance oper ations. , The Allstate Life Insurance Com pany, Eger said, eventually will of fer its policies through the estab lished Allstarte agency force of ne arly 3,000 trained and licensed ag ents over the 48 states and the Dis trict of Columbia. “The sale of auto insurance thr ough our own agency force has been a revolutionary development within the past two decades,” Eg er said. “It made this important protection more readily available to a great new market. Now again we are pioneering, certain that our method of merchandising will make life insurance available at greater convenience for a large segment of the population not adequately In sured at present.” Addition of life insurance to the automobile, residential fire, gener al liability and personal theft co verage already available through our agents will enable our policy holders to transact their insurance business through one easy-to-reach agent, thoroughly acquainted with their needs, and to package their Insurance program,” Eger stated. Intensive Research Allstate has made a careful study of life insurance over a period of years, engaging in intensive re search especially during the past year, Eger said. “This is a logical development for Allstate,” Eger explained, “We have kept close watch over the life side of the business. In 1656 we felt the time was ripe, and decid ed to investigate this field quite thoroughly and get answers to all questions relative to opr entry into life sales. It was then that Mr. Mullen came into the organization and supplemented our past obser vation and study with intensive re search. Simultaneously we engaged an outside economist for an in dependent view of the problems and how to meet them. “The studies convinced our com pany executives and our board of directors that we have a great op portunity of reaching a big mar ket acquainted ’with Allstate’s long established pcflicy of giving the customers dependable protection and claim service. Accordingly, the life company has now been auth orized.” “We will develop policies which will meet the needs of our market and which multiple line agents can handle with facility. As we be gin our life operation we plan to offer a standard life form and li mited payment forms. We plan to follow later with term insurance forms.” Allstate had record premium sa les last year of $283,013,000, a gain BETSY JOHNSON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL PATIENTS Following is a list of patients recently admitted to the hospital; Mr. L.
