March 11-(AP)- Rallying power returned to the stock market today after three successive losing sessions and with dealings again topping the million-share total, leaders retrieved fractions to 2 more points. The list got off to a poor start but steels, rubbers and specialties soon began torward tilt. Around mid-day most other groups joined the procession.

Lowpriced issues came out in sizable blocks. Advances were well maintained near the close, Transfers approximated 1,400,000 shares. Wall street was encouraged by the fact recent profit cashing on the 10-montas' upswing WAS so well absorbed and investment demand, consequently, stiffened preciably. The war news provided nothing especially stimulating. At new peaks for 1943 or longer were Texas Pacific Railway, Erie, Texas Goodyear, Goodrich, Woodworth, mount Pictures, Bath Iron Works, Dresser Allfed ChemIcAT, AlTeghany- prior preterred and Pepsi-Cola.

Dec FFMC FFMO HOLO HOLO 60 FLB FLB FLB FLB FLB FLB There is certainly no liquor: rationing in Nebraska at present time, Theo Osterman, chairman of the state liquor commission, said today, and added that he knew of no state without state-operated stores that rationing liquor. "But there's bound to be a 'tapering off' point, because revenue from liquor mounted $679,184 during this past year over the preceding year," he continued. Nebraska now stands in fifth place in the national ratings in consumption per person.

"This is, to my way of thinking, partly due to the fact that the state income was greater the past year than it has been for a number of years and to the fact that more people have moved into the state than left it," he explained. Rumors Without Basis. Rumors earlier this month had it that liquor would be rationed by spring and that, coupled with the increased federal tax, caused the state tax income to jump considerably. "I don't know of any way that liquor could be rationed in this state," Osterman continued. "True, the distilleries may tell wholesalers that they will be able to supply them with only, say, 80 per cent of their purchases the year before and they may be doing that in the less expensive brands of liquor." In hard liquor consumption, the imported whiskies are being transported from Scotland as ballast, Osterman said, and there is no reason why this should be discontinued.

In domestic brands, naturally, manufacturing has stopped, he concluded, and there will come a time when consumption must be cut, but so far the supply has been adequate to meet the demand.

Under certain circumstances, expenses paid during the taxable year for medical care of the taxpayer, his wife, or a dependent of a taxpayer may be deducted. The term "medical care" includes amounts paid for diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease. It also Includes payments for hospitalization infor membership in an association furnishing co-operative or so-called freechoice, medical service, or group hospitalization and clinical care.

Payments of expenses for medical care are not under any circumstances allowable as deductions if the taxpayer was compensated for such expenses by insurance or otherwise. The deduction for medical expenses 15 limited to the amount of such expenses as exceed 5 per cent of the net income which would be reported on line 19 of Form 1040 if no deduction for medical expenses vase claimed, The maximum deduction in the case 81 a husband and wife who filed 8 joint return or a head of family may not exceed $2,500, and in the case of other individuals, $1,250. Assuming that a husband and wife filed joint return on Form 1040 and aggregate net income without deduction for medical care 1s $3,000, if the taxpayer had actually paid during the taxable year $500 for medical care of his family but had been compensated by insurance in the of $150, the taxpayer would be entitled to claim $200 as a deduction on line 17 of the return. It will be observed that the taxpayer made a net outlay for medical care of $350 ($500 less $150) and that 5 per cent of his net income before deduction for medical expenses is $150. Therefore, the difference between $350 and $150.

Front line dispatches said the Russians beat off a series of violent nazi tank and infantry assaults south and southwest of Kharkov, killing 800 Germans and destroying 26 tanks in one sector and wrecking nine tanks in another.

The soviet command said a "ferocious engagement" was developing south of Kharkov, and declared that in one phase of the struggle the Russians encircled a battalion of tank-led nazi automatic riflemen, destroying 15 tanks and "wiped out 400 Hitlerites."

Sinclair, who made the announcement in introducing an air ministry appropriation bill, also informed the country that more than 10 per cent of German aircraft which in the last three months attempted weak reprisals for RAF bombings had been shot down. Such a loss rate is generally considered almost prohibitive for an attacking air force, Axis Losses Costly. Sinclair said 46 of 392 enemy planes which crossed the British coast in daylight during the last three months were definitely destroyed.

Twenty-six of 240 which crossed' at night were knocked down. The air minister said this was nearly three times the rate of loss of British aircraft attacking Adolf Hitler's Europe.
