New Haven Daniel J. Walsh, 14 Olive St. The United States. Rubber Company for the first six months of 1944 reported' net income of $5,852,827, after all charges, including provision for federal and foreign income taxes and reneKotio- lion of war contracts. This is equal, after provision for £4.00 in dividends on the eiglit per cent preferred stock, to S1.85 a share on the 1,759.092 shares of common stock.

This compared with J)et income of $6,912,466 or $2.44 a share on the common stock after all charges and after provision for $4.00 in dividends on the eight cent preferred stock in the first Malf of 1943. Consolidated net sales, exclusive of the volume of business done for the government on a cost plus fixed fee basis, amounted to $219,373.621 before negotiation. Sales and net income before income taxes for the first six months of 1U44 are not comparabc with dose reported for the same period of 1943. This year the provision for renegotiation of war contracts was iucluded with the provision for income taxes, while in 1943 the provision was deducted from sales. Compensation from the separate war activities is included in "other operating revenue" in the consolidated income statement.

Sales and income before taxes and ranogtiation on regular operations were greater than for the corresponding- period of 1943. Provision -for federal and foreign income taxes and renegotiation of war contracts amounted- to $28,492,214. In commenting on the report, F. B. Davis, chairman of the board, pointed out that United States Rubber company's $25,000.000 program to increase tire facilities for military requirements and for essential civilian needs is nearly completed.

"The enlarged Fisk plant at Chicopce Falls. Mr. Davis continued, "has just been placed in operation, and the reconversion and expansion of the Eau Claire, Wisconsin, plant will be finished soon.

The speeding American armor has clattered four and a half miles from captured Avranchcs at the base of Cherbourg peninsula to gain the plains of Brittany.

Here arc the latest details of the lighting American push: The last Germans in Avrances were killed or captured at sundown last night after a 12-hour battle. That's the first prolonged resistance the enemy has put since the fall of Coutanccs, 24 miles to the north. The reason the Nazis were able to make the comparatively protracted stand is that the Avranches garrison was reinforced by a. German panzer division which escaped from Granvillc 14. miles to the northwest.

The GranviJle troops broke through the American lines and dug into the streets Avrancbcs. But their stand proved futile against the swilt rush of American armor. hardly a pause, Lieu- '(Continued- on -Page S) More Names Are Being Added To Honor Roll Here Another group of metal name plates is now being affixed Oie of small arms to the building of tires at the request of the government is one of the first major re- conversions of the war."
