While nearly all industries were Thomas Hanlon, 11, drowned in a pool west of the power station above Alton at 12:40 today. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward J. Hanlon, 213 West Thirteenth.

Thomas hat 1 gone Into the pool, with his brother, Michael, 8, and Alex and Richard Christian, 9 and 11 respectively. Thomas was unable to swim, and was holding to a log. He lost his grip, and sank. One of Christian brothers ran to the power house and told Ivor Skipper of the incident, and the latter called the police and Deputy Coroner Staten. Stalen, police, and Fire Chief James Lewis and Fireman John Hesse went to the scene.

Staten called Ernest Weaver of Cottage Hills and Kenneth Scog- glns of 1816 Park avenue, em- ployes of the Terminal loading dock, who recovered the body. Chief Lewis and Hesse atempted to revive the boy with a resuscltator Milk and cream joined "dairy by products" on the "off-quota" list today, but some other widely popular products such as heavy cream and particularly ice cream remained under federal regulation. Elimination of quotas on milk and cream by the Production and and Marketing Administration of the United Slates Department of Agriculture brought general expressions of relief from Alton area dairy proprietors. Most of them had been receiving adequate supplies of raw milk for some time, particularly during the present summer and nationwide production was up five percent over any previous peak despite extreme labor difficulties among dairy farmers. One of the dairy proprietors here even predicted today he would have adequate milk to supply any increase in demand which might result from announcement that federal controls were off the commodity.

At the same time he expressec hope that other products, ice cream particularly, might soon be eliminated from the list of quolaed New Memorial Nurses 5 Home Placed in Use and when their efforts proved In products.

He explained that even though each industry was endeavoring to fit into vacant posts employes whose former jobs the cutbacks in orders had eliminated, and Had been forced to let go some of the workers, many jobs in civilian manufacture still remain open. Taken by Surprise In general, the area appeared to have been taken just as much by surprise by the sudden end of hostilities with the flood of releases and the simultaneous heavy demand for replacement indicated.

Many industries had had little to take inventory of their personnel, before the break came, with regard to possible use In peacetime manufacturing programs, but nevertheless were doing a speedy pob of taking At Alton Box Board where 'one widely circulated report sale 400 women had been laid off at the end of the week, a high official WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 American industry today poured through the by the the promised land of 'full production for peace The government last night tossed off 210 wartime controls on industry.

The latest order, coming from William C. Eckles, market agent or the Production and Marketing Administration, under Food Order 79, is retroactive to Aug. 1.

The War Food Orders have been in effect since the fall of 1943, and placed quotas on the amounts of milk, cream, and by products dairies were permitted to sell. Quotas were based on amounts of dairy products sold by the particular dairy during June of 1943, and were issued to limit the consumption of dairy products so that an adequate supply of milk products would be available for armed force, civilian who did not desire to be quoted said that figure was higher than the facts warranted. At the same time, he said conditions' were such now that no estimate of the final net change in personne! there could be reached, but he felt certain many would be called back. Some already have i been given ether types of work in the plant. Manufacture of bomb bands by the plant, ot course, was cut off immediately with the close of hostilities.

The orders restricted deliveries which the dairies were permittee to make instead of establishing rationing on milk, cream and by products at the consumer level. Special Work at Locks Completed Special work which the U. S. Engineer Corps has had in progress here in connection with Alton lock and dam over a period of several weeks has been completed, and last of the floating equipment was moved from the pool above the dam Monday afternoon. The chief project was the removal of a sunken steel coal barge from a point just above the roller gate piers where it set up currents regarded as a hazard to the dam structure.

Moving of the hulk about 600 feet upstream was effected last week and last of the boats and barges used in the project left the pool yesterday after dismantling of rigging and special devices used in the removal operation was completed. Meantime, the cutter dredge Grafton had been here to clear out the channel of the river just below the locks. Work of the dredge was completed last Saturday, it then with the other Acconv modations are provided for about 37 girls in the new home, and the majority of the students will be members of the United Stales Cadet Nurse Corps.

Alton's allotmenl of motor fuels tax funds for July was announced today by Mark Saunders, finance director, as $4395.

Tnis compares with $4463 in June, and $4545 in July last year. Thai the city's share last month was smaller than for July of 1944 with ration restrictions eased is presumably accounted for by a lessened number of cars in use over llie stale. From an incomplete report on the city auto licensing program, officials at the city finance session last night estimaled the number of cars owned in lhe cily at the present lime may be abtut 300 less than was the case last year. Such a decrease from cars wearing oul would be less lhan in the two previous years, In any event, lhe present lolal of motor-vehicles here is believed at the bottom point for the war period. Early marketing of new cars will from September on lend lo build Alton's motor population back from present showing of about 5000 to the top pre-war figure of 7200.

Doubt remains, however, that the number of new cars to be available during lhe remainder of 1945 will mean much of a boost in MFT revenue, since many new vehicles for a time merely will take the place of others lhat go to the junk yard.

Routine class work was scheduled to get under way today.

21. troops continued t- fight all along the 300-mile Burma front today as Admiral Lord Louis Mount- batten awaited a reply to his radio message directing the Japanese southeast Asia commander to send surrender envoys to Rangoon by Thursday. Mountbatten, Allied commander in southeast Asia, directed his broadcast order yesterday to Field Marshal Count Juichi Terauchi, commander of the Japanese southern army. Mountbatten's order did not specifically define Terauchi's command area, but presumably it Includes Burma, Indo-China, Singapore, Thailand and the Malay States. The Japanese in Burma, who have lost approximately 12,000 men In bloody fighting in recent weeks, are continuing the struggles, apparently under the pretext that they do not knosv the war is over, said Rangoon dispatches.

A Rangoon report said a Japanese suicide party had penetrated the Hniawbi airstrip and grenaded RAF officers in a tent. Seven were hospitalized. Several Mosquito planes were wrecked with phosphorous bombs. Enemy stragglers were reported within 20 miles of Rangoon and were being hunted down. Meanwhile, RAF planes showered millions of surrender leaflets on the remaining Japanese troops in Burma.

The Japanese-controlled Saigon radio, in a broadcast recorded by Reuters, that Allied troops would be HI tacked by the Japanese southern army if they attempted to carry out any new operations before surrender arrangements arc completed.

Vidkun Quisling wilted before the anger of presiding Judge Erik Solen. today as the justice sharply demanded a "yes or no" answer to the question whether he had been asked by German Admiral Erich Racder to "betray your country." With a downward flicker of the eyes, the pate defendant muttered: "I cannot remember." Reprimanded by the judge with the order to "answer yea or no," Quisling blushed and finally whispered "no." The judge's peace treaty was signed, ally requested the pilot to leave "before trouble started." The plane and its personnel returned to base pending negotiations.

Since the parachute rescues were started, the Japanese general staff has protested to Gen. MacArthur and asked him to prevent further operations to avoid any incidents.
