UTILITIES PLUG EXBIOIJPIIDGIII 25 Companies in State to Spend for Maintenance, Additions- Milwaukee Bruno Hahn of Milwaukee, president of the Wisconsin Utilities Association, announced today that 25 affiliated gas, electric, and transportation companies planned to spend for naintenance and. additions to their properties during 1940. "That aggregate sum placed in company budgets exceeds expenditures made for the same purposes in 1939 by $4.65,592." he told the opening convention session of the association's gas section. "The companies plan to extend their operations because they believe business will improve and because they feel the public will protect the utility industry against the attacks of unscrupSlous politicians and those groups who seek to undermine confidence in business enterprise." Rahn said 1940 payroll disbursements of member companies were expected to exceed those of 1939, when $21,574,376 was paid to employes. "One of the most discouraging factors facing us IS the ever mounting tax burden," he declared.

"Companies were forced to collect from our customers the stupendous sum of $12,906,853 which was paid by companies in taxes to local, State, and federal government units in 1939. The larger companies in the State paid from 18 to 22 per cent of their gross earnings in taxes." -ar Packard Mot 4 Param Piet 7 Park Utah Cone Mia 2 Penney 92 Penn RR 22 Phelps Dodge 87 Philip Morris 92 Phillips Pet 89 Plymouth Oil 214 Pob See 41 Pullman 27 Pare Oil 9 RCA 6 RKO 1 Rem id 10 Ro Motor Car 1 Repub 8tl 4 21 Key Too 41 Safeway Strs 61 See Distill 18 Sears Roch 85 SheU Ua Oil 10 liminau Co 21 See Vac 11 Son Pae 12 Sou 16 perry Corp 4 Std Brands Std Oil Cal 28 Std OU lad 26 Std Oil 48 Stewart Warner 8 Stone A Web 9 Stodebaker Corp 11 Swift 4k Co 28 Tena Corp 9 Texas Corp 45 Texas Gulf Sul 21 Tex Pae Trust 6 Tide Water A Oil 19 Thnk Det Axle 21 Tim Roll 80 Tri Cont Corp 2 Twent Cent Fox 11 Un Carbide 85 United Airl 16 United Aire 47 United Corp 2, United Drug; Unit Fruit 79 United Gas Imp 12 Rub 15 8 Stl 67 Stl Pf 118 Walworth 8 Warner Bros Pkrt 8 West Air Br 24 West EI 4k Mfg 112 White Motor 11 Wilson A Co 8 Wool worth 41 Yellow T.C 17 Youngrt Sh It 41 Zenith Radio IS Adams Exp 7g Alas Ian Hi Al Cbem 4k Dye 177 Allied Strs 8 AUi Ch Iff 17 Am Can Am Car It tiy 25 Am Met 14 Am It Sli Asa.

Von Ribbentrop saw Ciano yesterday, too. The only social event arranged for the visitors was a dinner to be given by Ciano tonight at the fashionable Chess Club, after which Von Ribbentrop will entrain for Berlin.

The significance of the unheralded visit to King Vittorio Eman-uele was not ascertained immediately. Officials described it as merely a ceremonial call. There was a belief, however, that the King desired to ask him a special question. Von Ribbentrop was received at the Vatican with full honors accorded foreign ministers. Greeted by high papal dignitaries, he and seven members of his staff were taken from the German Embassy to the Holy See in papal automobiles.

The German Foreign Minister was presented to the Pontiff by Diego Von Bergen, German Ambassador to the Vatican. The Vatican ceremony spared Von Ribbentrop the question of deciding whether to kneel before the Pope. In the case of statesmen, the Pontiff extends his hand in a manner to indicate that obeisance is not expected. Von Ribbentrop was said to have bowed three times. He talked with the Pope for an hour in German, which the Pontiff speaks fluently.

Von Ribbentrop also paid the customary call of visiting diplomats to Luigl Cardinal Maglione, Papal Secretary of State. In all, the German's visit to the Vatican lasted two hours and 15 minutes. Top speed of plane in the World War was bout 75 miles an hour. Today bombers are capable of attaining speeds of 250 to 300 miles an hour. (CONTINUED FROM tAGE ONE) want-hglhis Baltic war continued: Hitler wants it terminated for reasons explained later.

Finland is faced vtth adecison as to whether to proceed with the flght or accept territorial losses which at best; will be hateful to her. A few weeksjago the victorious Finns would have rejected cy terms affecting their territorial integrity, because' they expected help from the Allies. That help not having; arrived in sufficient volume," the Finns' now probably will feel it best to make concessions, irrespective of future prospects of assistance- However, they aren't likely to accept a conqueror's terms if there is hope of Allied aid at all, and possibly not under any circumstance. Now let's take a quick glance at the positions of the other nations immediately concerned. It's like this: Russia: The Reds would like to get the war over with for fear of Anglo-French intervention.

Germany Is putting pressure on the Bolshevists to end the conflict. The Reds undoubtedly bit off a lot more than they expected to have to chew, but aren't likely to quit now without substantial territorial concessions from Finland. Anglo-French Allies: As already stated, they appear anxious for the war to continue. They have sent some help to Finland, and might have sent the greater assistance needed excepting for the refusal of neutral Sweden to allow organized Allied troops to pass through her territory, this being the only feasible route to Finland. The Anglo-French reasons for wanting continuance of the war are several: 1.

They wish to open up a new battle front in the Baltic area so they can strike at Hitler from the north. 2. They want to keep Russia engaged so that the Reds can't assist Germany with supplies. 3. They would like to defeat the Bolshevists at the same time as Germany, to remove the threat of Communist expansion westward in Europe, down through the Balkans and into the Near East and India.

4. Abandonment of Finland to the mercies of the Reds would have a bad effect on the small European neutrals, who might swing toward Hitler. Already the Balkans are very nervous. Germany: Herr Hitler naturally wishes to prevent the establishment of a new Allied front in the Baltic zone a grave threat to him. He wants to release Russia, to get badly-needed supplies from that country.

He must keep the Baltic Sea free so he can continue to receive his vital iron ore from Sweden. And when all's said and done, he dislikes as much as anyone else to see the spread of Bolshevist influence westward. That was something he didn't figure on when he signed up with the Muscovites. Because of all these things Hitler has initiated the peace move, using the good offices of Sweden as messenger. At the same time he rushed Foreign Minister Von Ribbentrop off to Rome to see both Mussolini and, to the amazement of the world.

Pope Pius. The visit to Duce was quite understandable, since Hitler would want to determine where his partner in the Berlin-Rome axis stood in view of developments. The reason for the Vatican visit isn't so obvious. It is likely, how ever, that the Fuehrer is getting anxious about the bitter feeling he has caused among Catholics by his attempts to regiment the church in Germany. These are days when he needs his entire population behind him.

A crack in public mor ale might be disastrous. One suspects that he is making a gesture of appeasement. Italy: Mussolini would like to see the Finnish war terminated. His wish all along has been that the conflict between Hitler and the Allies might be confined to them alone. There is no indication that II Duce intends to aban don his non-belligerency.

Sweden: Has been anxious for Finland to win, or secure an honorable peace, fearing that a Bolshevist victory would menace all the rest of Scandinavia. However, threats from Germany have kept Sweden and Norway neutral. Al-1 i intervention undoubtedly would drag them into the war on the aide of England and France. Most certainly they are hoping that Finland can get a good peace, to obviate the prospects of Allied intervention.

Athletic Directors is like Maroon Charge of 'Cheating'v TOMSILER v.

Cbieag-a 4)- A threat of os tracism from all Big Ten varsity, sports activities hung today over the University of Chicago. The cleavage between Chicago and the other conference schools came into the open Saturday night when athletic directors declined to give the Maroons basketball games, on their schedules "until some questions are answered. The conference has been waiting for those answers ever since Chicago abandoned intercollegiate football last Dec. 31. Shortly after the school took this action an "unknown spokesman" for the Institution said "you can't play Big Ten football without being crooked, as far as the league rules are Three weeks later Pres.

Robert M. Hutchins said in a speech to the students that there is no such thing as "legitimate subsidization under conference rules. In a statement issued through Commissioner John L. Griffith, the athletic directors said they took "no exception" to Chicago's decision to give up football, but added: "However, a statement of an unknown spokesman for the trustees and the Issuance of a pamphlet containing false statements derogatory to the conference, by the a-lumni council, seems to the directors to be contrary to conference procedure." The directors, asked Chicago, in effect, to hand over to Major Griffith for investigation any charges of rules violations by other schools, or to "retreat from its contention that there is cheating. They said they would delay completing the basketball slates until Chicago had had a chance to make clear its position.

So now it is 'Chicago's move. Hutchins and Athletic Director Nelson Metcalf have declined to make any statements on the athletic directors' action. The athletic directors have the power to ban. all Chicago teams from competing with other conference outfits, but the school. can remain a member' of the conference without meeting any of the other members in athletics.

The faculty committee alone has the power to oust any school from the organization. The athletic directors meet again in May when they are expected to take definite action on the matter. SEN. MINTON SCORES RAILROAD COMPANIES Washington VP) Senator Mint on (D-Ind) told his colleagues today that, as long as the railroads were asking government help, the least they 'could do would be to get all they can for their bonds. The Indlanan said he believed the Louisville and Nashville Railroad had sold a bond issue recently to Us banking connection in New York at less than par.

although it had received an offer of par from another source. He added that the Elgin, Joliet. and Eastern Railroad was offering a $20,000,000 bond issue and proposed to accept an offer of 99 from the road's Wall street bankers, despite an offer of par from another source.

POLITICS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) some quarters that Farley would delay any forthright declaration of his intentions until the President makes known his third term views, one well-advised Senator declared: "Farley is now trying to make up his mind whether to go it alone or to wait on Roosevelt." A week-end political development was the announcement by Chairman John Hamilton that the Republican National Committee would not issue a party convention book.

He said he hoped the. Democrats would follow their example. Calling the books a "subterfuge" for getting around the corrupt practices act, he said in a statement: "In 1936 this device was so shamelessly and extensively used by the Democratic National Committee to obtain funds that it shocked the morality of the nation."
