I do not want the Federi Government to com pete with commercial com panies, and my bill will provide for the Secretary of Health. Education and Welfare to enter Into contracts with existing private Insurance com panies to provide the cove re age with th^" Federal Government guaranteeing the companies the difference between r easonahle premiums and suiting losses " The bill limits, for the time being, .such coverage to pro perty intended for occupancy by from one to four families and would not apply to commercial property In the absence of a finding by the Secretary CeaUened to Page t BRIEFS Cyclist Injured Preston Mobley, of Beulavllle was hospitalized at Duplin Ge neral Hospital In KenansvUle Sunday p.m. Preston, 6 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Defold Mobley, cut his bicycle Into the path of a car driven by Mrs. Oecll Miller, as he traveled the busy main street of Beulavllle In Sunday afternoon traffic.
