TWO 1RONWOOD DAILY GLOBE, IRONWOOD, MICH. FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1942. Beneficial Treatment Seen For Power Stocks in Proposed Tax. By VICTOR EUBANK New York--W)--Stocks negotiated another selective rally in today's market after a stumbling start. Utilities, especially senior issues, stepped out in front near mid-day and gains for scattered favorites ran to 3 or more points.

Quotations were shaded in most cases in the final hour. Dealings were relatively slow. Transfers for the full proceedings were around 300,000 shares. Power and light company stocks, along with several other lines, apparently were buoyed by recommendations by the house ways and means committee on the forthcoming tax measure which were interpreted as benefiting corporations heavy invested capital structures. Utilities are in this class.

Utility company loans were the best in the bond department. Grain futures swung higher as the department of agriculture announced a boost in the loaning average for the 1942 wheat crop. At Chicago wheat was up 7-8 to 1 1-2 cents a bushel and corn ahead 1 3-8 to 1 3-4. Cotton, in late trades, was up 5 cents a bale to off as much.

Pitts, PI. Gl 80 "A 15 'A 4V. Structure on Pete Swanson Farm, Iron Belt, Leveled in Storm. Struck by lightning during last night's storm, a large barn on the Peter Swanson farm, one mile south of Iron Belt, burst into flame and, lashed by the heavy wind, was leveled within 45 minutes.

crete surface serving as a street. The entire street section to be paved will be torn up and then paved two blocks at a time. The concrete surface, which will average 4.6 inches in thickness, will be laid on one side of the street and then the other. The Lowell street storm sewer project is completed and the 33- inch sewer was responsible last night for carrying off a great portion of the surface water. There were no reports today of downtown stores being flooded by the heavy rain.

The Soo Line sewer has not been completed but will be soon, it was stated today by the manager. The work has been held up pending the arrival of a steam shovel which has been delivered to the city. The rain last night did cause the flooding of some homes on the north side but the manager said today he expects that this condition will be greatly improved by the completion of the Soo Line sewer. The downpour last evening about 6 o'clock and then again about 10 o'clock caused the ground over the newly installed Lowell street storm sewer to settle several feet in some instances. Automobiles parked along the curbings dropped into the holes and had to be extricated by truck and wrecker.

City crews were busy last night blocking off the dangerous sections, placing flares and filling in the holes. All streets were repaired by this morning. The city itself has joined in during the cleanup drive this week by improving some of Its buildings. The new city garage, opened this spring, is lighted by fluorescent lights as are the city manager's office, the chief of police's office, and the engineer's office on the second floor of the Memorial building.

(A Burma communique issued in New Delhi said withdrawal of British troops guarding the right flank of the Allied line in Burma to the north bank of the Irrawaddy river was proceeding successfully.) Threat to Air Route. By PRESTON GROVER New what may in Burma--and the situation looked dark today--Allied military men here are determined to keep open the supply lines to China and to maintain communications vital to a unified war effort.

The fall of Lashio, announced yesterday by the Chinese, complicated the situation, for establishment of a Japanese air base there would endanger operation of the big American freight planes now carrying war materials into China from India. Rugged Terrain Ahead Military quarters expressed hope the rugged, terrain now lying in the path of the Japanese--the most severe the invaders have yet faced in Burma--might delay their progress toward India's northeast frontier until the arrival of the heavy seasonal rains which are expected to halt 'arge scale operations within a few weeks. The possibility- that all Burma might be lost, however, is clearly recognized and plans are being laid accordingly. At present the Americans here have taken on the bulk of the work of ferrying supplies to China and the Burma front because they have the big freight planes necessary. The number of planes now on the job--and the number to be added in coming months--is, of course, a closely guarded military secret.

Alternate Routes Used It was announced today in Chungking that alternative supply routes from India to China already were in working order and the fall cf Lashio would not halt the flow of Chinese reinforcements for the continued defense of North Burma. (Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek noted the Japanese infiltration tactics on his last recent visit to Burma and devised a supply system to deal with the problem brought about by Wednesday's loss of La- shio, the government announcement said. HELP DEFENSE NEED City Groups Responsible, County Group Advisory, Says Mayor Buchko. Bessemer-- Civilian co-operation is the essence of the defense effort, Mayor Basil Buchko today quoted Lieut. Col.

Harold Furlong, state defense administrator, as declaring at the recent meeting of 700 defense chairmen and community representatives at East Lansing. "Total victory depends on how much effort the civilian population puts forth," said Col. Furlong. According to Mayor Buchko, Furlong stressed the importance of the city defense councils, stating that "such councils have the scle responsibility of setting up and carrying out the local defense problems. Mayor Buchko also quoted Col.

Furlong as saying that the county councils were formed first during the early days of the war and "were now merely to carry on in an advisory capacity as well as co-operating with all defense councils in the county unit. Buchko said Furlong stressed the "importance of civilians supplementing the services and personnel of the city government and charged the local officials with the task of training civilians and training them at once." "In the matter cf air raid wardens," said Buchko, "great emphasis was placed on appointing wardens who would always be available and who would see to the safety of their designated areas. The problems pointed out and demonstrated at the conference were dene with such clarity that the delegates left East Lansing well satisfied and better equipped to handle the defense of their communities." The conference included demon- 1 strations of the methods of extinguishing incendiary bombs and use of various types of fire fighting equipment. Many notables, including Governor Murray D. Van Wagoner, addressed the conference.

A meeting of the county and city defense councils of the county is to be held at the courthouse at 7:30 tonight.

curious sidelight of the new Axis conference was that it was no longer held at the "half-way point" at Brenner Pass, where Hitler and Mussolini have met often in the past. Salzburg, in former Austria, is 100 miles north of the pass. The official announcement might just as well have been a carbon copy of communiques on all their other meetings, larded with such glittering genpTMalities as "close friendship" and "perfect accord." Dissension in Italy But all this week, reports from. Europe have stressed mounting dissension in Italy, with the populace inflamed by hunger, disgust over the war and alarm over the rising might of the United Nations. These reports declared that while Mussolini blustered about "inexorable punishment'' for dissidents, Hitler was deeply concerned.

A British commentator declared that "Hitler doubtless feels the need to explain his Sunday speech first hand, for it needs some explaining to the Italian people." Bern reports of the speech said the Fuehrer belittled the ability of the Italian soldier to withstand the rigors of winter warfare on the Russian front. In aerial warfare, Britain's great "help Russia" offensive tapered off to reconnaisance flights overnight after eight straight nights of tempestuous blows at German war-' nerve centers.
