TWO SABOTEURS
 WERE FIRED UPON
Coast Guards, Police ROut Attempt in Power Plant
 at PrOvincetOwn
Lieut.-Gen. Lesley ,. McNair

Provincetown, Mass, March 5 - (UP)-Coast guards and police fired on two possible saboteurs shortly before dawn today after rocks were hurled through windows of the Provincetown Light & Power Co. plant which serves four communi- ties on the tip of Cape Cod.
 Within an hour, 90 coast guards, soldiers and policemen started searching the scrubby brushlands and patroling roads in the area.
 Police Chief Anthony P. Tarvers said all suspicious-appearing auto- mobiles would be halted and their occupants questioned. Hospitals and doctors offices were checked in event either suspect sought treat ment for possible wounds.
 According to Chief Tarvers, the stoning occurred at 4:55 8. m. at the plant situated on the lonely state road that leads from the vil- lage to the outside beach and race point. Since shortly after the wars outbreak, coast guards have been on duty there 24 hours daily.
 Tarvers said two sentries were walking their posts when the first rock. crashed through the window. Both men ran to the side of the plant where the noise was heard just as a second rock shattered an- other window.
 Jules Serpa, one of the sentries, fired five shots into the darkness.
 Within a few minutes Chief Tar vers and Patrolman Joseph Cabral arrived with a contingent of nine coast guards headed by Bosun's Mate Manuel Henrique. The party made 8 quick survey of the area and Cabral was sent back to town for endorsements.
 Enroute there, and only about % yards from the plant, Cabral saw two men running along a lane. He fired thrice in the darkness but the pair apparently escaped.
 Other coast guards arrived, head ed by Lt.-Comdr. William Ireland, while about 30 soldiers under the direction of a sergeant agumented the searching party.
 One automobile bearing New York state registration plates was halted and the two occupants questioned but the car was permitted to pro- ceed.
 "This is one of the oldest cases I've ever handled" Tarvers said. "1t certainly leans to sabotage but so far it's still pretty funny. The rocks apparently did no serious damage"

KUSHNER JOINS
 ARMY SATURDAY
Internal Revenue Office Loses Agent; O'SuIlivan
 Named Successor

Gabriel Price, deputy zone colle- tor, of the local internal revenue bureau in the post office building, said John P. O'Sullivan, internal revenue agent, has been assigned to the local office from New Haven during the busy period to assist in handling taxpayers in filing their forms,
 Philip Kushner, only recently placed on the local revenue staff, will leave rur army service Satur- day. MT. Price stated that MT. Kushner was not working as he is making preparation to be inducted into the army and that staff of seven collectors are at the local office at present.
 The zone deputy again reiterated his warning to filing tax returns as soon as possible and not to wait until the deadline, March Is, app breaches, since filers will suffer in- convenience by waiting in line a long time.
 Persons filing tax returns this week at the post office were rela- lively fewer when compared with the preceding week when the sec- ond floor was thronged and a queue formed down to the first floor.
 Men in service, who earned ir- comes that are taxable, although earning only $21 month now, will have to file their tax for last year, but soldiers in army camps will be afforded the opportunity where forms will be available. MT. Price indicated that being in service did not exempt them from making a return.

 May Be Settled

Unofficial sources reported this afternoon that the American Brass Company and the Waterbury, Torring- ton and Ansonia Brass Workers Union were close to agreement on "some points" in the negotiations now ull- derway for a new contract. The points on which agree lnent is near are understood to be important but not the major ones at issue, namely the unions demand for increases of 10 cents an hour and Q closed shop.
 Federal and state mediators have been called, by mutual agreement into the negotiations. Today's con- ference, which started at tnid-rnorn- ing, was the third in which they have taken part.
 The U. s. government is repre- sented by Conciliator James Toner of the Cancellation Service of the U. s. Department of Labor. The state mediators are Deputy Labor Com- missioner Morgan R. Mooney and George F. McDonough of the board of mediation and arbitration.
 The negotiations, which are un- derwav to draw up a new contract to replace one expiring March 17, affect an estimated li,00O employees of the American Brass Co. The three locals which they represent are units of the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smeltel Workers, 0. I. O.
