T.ia supreme court was asked by counsel for two stu dents suspended by the University of California for refusal to take mili tary training to review its recent unanimous decision sustaining the action taken by the university. The petition for rehearing was filed by John Eoardsley of Lcs Angeles, who contended the decision cf the courtl seemed to be based on a misappre hension of the constitutional rights claimed. Bcardsley urged the court to permit ic argument so as to bring out more forceably the points which lie declared the court had not pre viously caught. He said service in the ROTC at the University of Cali fornia constituted compulsory mili tary service in a federal military es tablishment contrary to peacs time immunity from such service. Throughout the history of this nation during good times and bad, booms and depressions American business has had an invaluable ally: Fire Insurance. Fire Insurance has, aptly, been called the best friend of credit. It is even more than that without in surance, credit, as we know it to day, could not exist. That is true whether the credit Is extended for building a railroad or a cottage, whether it entails millions of dol lars or hundreds. If the collateral were not underwritten and protect ed against fire and flood and storm, every man who made a loan would be facing complete and irrevocable loss. That, in turn, would produce two results either credit would not be given, or interest rates, which are always predicated upon risk, would be so high that no one could afford to borrow except in direct emergency. Maintenance of credit is perhaps the greatest of all the services pro vided by fire insurance, and it is a service few of us think of. We all benefit by it. The home-owner, the worker, the factory-builder, the in vestor all feel the beneficial effects of credit. Fire insurance helped develop our country, from pioneering days to the present it helped to make our farms and our industries and our cities possible. Behind all enterprise, all fruitful initiative, stands insurance. Advertising expense yieTc's a far bifiger dividend than any form of investment. DELGEAN0 TO NEBEASKA Grand Island, Neb.
