Berlin said that two French stabs

German bombing attacks on the

Investors Are Reassured
On Utilities Program
BY the Associated Press,

BY lne Associated PreSS.
NEW YORK, May 3. Leading
Government experts were quoted by
the Savings Bank Journal today as
seeing no real danger to investors in
the Federal program on utilities.
This opinion was expressed by
Benjamin V. Cohen, general counsel
of the National Power Policy Com
mission; Leland Olds, chairman of
the Federal Power Commission, and
others in a closed round-table dis
cussion recently sponsored by the
publication.
The discussion brought together
not only administration officials but
also Senators Burton K. Wheeler
and H. Styles Bridges and such
spokesmen for the utilities as Sgd
ney Mitchell of Bonbright & Co.
Olds asserted Government policy
Is directed primarily to the estab-
lishment of sound standards in the
field of costs, rates and use of elec-
tricity and is not directed toward a
general encouragement of public
ownership.
Senator Wheeler said the present
trend in Congress is largely against
public ownership of utilities.
Cohen said: The complete pub
lie ownership of utilities certainly is
not the ideal situation today" He
asserted there was little justification
for fears on the part of investors in
holding companies or in operating
utilities companies.

Production Of Synthetic
Rubber Is Planned
BY the Associated Press.

oy lLlC RoSoSldeCa iSoo.
AKRON, Ohio, May 3.-The in
dustry is prepared TO start full-time
production of synthetic rubber if the
present war cuts off the supply of
crude rubber to the United States,
says T. G. Graham, vice president
of the B. F. Goodrich Co.
1--WE and others who have studied
the problem believe that on large
scale production synthetic rubber
can be produced In this country at
a cost little above the present price
of plantation rubber" Graham de-
clared in an address before Akron
industrial traffic engineers.
He said his company and others
are producing synthetic rubber on a
small scale" now and have not in
creased production because it might
depress crude rubber prices to a
point where the synthetic product
would be much more costly in COM
parison.
Mr.. Graham expressed doubt the
Malayan supply, Americas principal
source of crude rubber, would be cut
off by the war, but added "in these
days no one can be certain"
The Goodrich vice president pro-
posed redevelopment of crude rub
ber supplies in Central and South
America, but said this could not be
done in time Ito meet an emer-
gency."

NEW YORK, May 3.-Italian,
Scandinavian and other foreign
bonds were shaken into sharp de-
clines today by the allied defeat in
Norway and fears the war would
spread to the Mediterranean.
Losses in late dealings ranged
to more than points. Conspicuous
losers included Hungary 4l2s, Nor
way 4l2s, Brisbane SIS, Italy rs,
Milan 6l2s and Rome 6l2s.
Canadian issues skidded with
other obligations of British Empire
countries. Canada 3l4s were off
about point at one time.
Italian loans previously had ral-
lied on hope a clash in the Mediter-
ranean would be averted. Many
traders, brokers said, assumed Ger
many might soon be freed from the
northern campaign to turn her at
tention toward the Balkans and that
Italy might make decision.
Norway 4s broke more than 3,
falling below 27, as Germany tight
ened her grip on the main popula-
ton and industrial centers Of the
country Belgian and Danish loans
also sagged.
Corporate bonds were uneven in
quiet trading. Some rails edged
ahead, including Union Pacific 3l2s,
Northern Pacifis Is and Great
Northern As. But most corporate
loans yielded for fractional losses.
United States Treasury obligations
showed only minor changes, up and
down.
