JUUuUV UUU UUU DAVENPORT Quad-City residents ewre treated to the spectacle of a really "low flying" airplane yesterday afternoon as they watched one navigate the streets between west Davenport and Milan. The airplane, shorn of its wings, was on its way to its last roundup. It made the journey with as assist from a tractor, a wrecker and a truck despite knowing advice from many citizens to "get a horse." Gene Brenner of Milan bought the plane, an old Fairchild trainer low-wing monoplane with the idea of dismantling it. He couldn't fly it from its pasture near Mahoney's race track west of Davenport, so he snipped off its wings and began pulling it behind a wrecker.

Not counting the three flat tires it sustained nor the unbelieving stares it drew from passersby, the only hitch in the proceedings came when the airplane crossed the Centennial bridge. Finding no mention of airplanes in the toll schedules on bridge vehicular traffic, bridge attendants compromised by charging 15 cents.

United States engineers in the Clock Tower building said today.

The traffic volume included 53,400 tons of petroleum products, 19,200 tons of coal, and 1,400 tons of miscellaneous cargo for a total of 74,000 tons. Several towboats built within the last three years are making their first trip of the season, the engineers reported. One of the exceptions is a rather old towboat, the Ellen, which originally was built for the corps of engineers at Rock Island as a steam powered towboat in 1907. The Ellen was sold in 1943 and by 1944 had been converted to a diesel powered tow-boat and is now operated by the Industrial Marine Service of Memphis, Tenn.

(UP) The Illinois Agriculture Department Friday banned the sale for feed of all bone meal imported from foreign countries, in an effort to halt the spread of the livestock disease anthrax. The spore of the bacillus causing anthrax has been traced to a bone meal imported from Belgium. The emergency statute prohibits Illinois feed dealers from using any imported bone meal in any livestock feed. The embargo will not apply to bone meal produced within the United States. Much of this meal is treaed under steam pressure by large American packing houses to kill any germs.

Many Animals Dead Anthrax broke out last summer on Midwestern farms. It has killed at least 425 animals, mostly hogs, and caused the quarantine of more than 8,000 animals in Illinois. State Livestock Industry Superintendent Roy A. Thompson said 68 farms in 33 Illinois counties are under quarantine right now. State Plant Industry Superintendent Henry H.

Chamberlain, in charge of inspecting feeds, already had seized a Urge quantity of imported bone meal which was shipped to a Chicago feed manufacturer. A department spokesman said Chamberlain may lift the ban on this and other bone meal shipments after regulations for treating the supplement are devised. It's O.K. at Fertflfaer The ban does not prohibit the use of the imported meal as a fertilizer. Thompson said most foreign bone meal goes into fertilizer.
