and also because its devastating
results are continuously before us,
we are prone to develop a hysteria

the spread of polio and also that
bowel discharges may play their
part in passing on the disease.
Do not swim when overheated.
Do not become overtired. Children
showing any signs of illness should
be kept at home and isolated from

night at a meeting of the steering
committee in the conference room
of the Atlanta University Admini-
stration Building.
C. r. Yates, Atlanta business
man and civic leader, is chairman

Initial gifts at the kickoff meet
ing of the Atlanta committee
totaled approximately $4,000. Goal
for the city has been set at $751;
900. The campaign will run ap-
proximately for 80 days and lead
ers of the drive are confident OF
attaining the goal and possibly
an oversubscription.
All seven OF the Atlanta colleges
are members of the Fund. They
have benefited $25o,000 in allot-
ments from the Fund while At
lanta has contributed $4,000 to the
effort In the past. The great re-
turn for such small investment
readily can be appreciated.
Mr.. Yates and members of the
steering committee are hopeful
that not only the graduates and
friends of the seven Atlanta in
situations will support the 10
cal campaign, but graduates

windows were blown out and the
interiors burned, but this. appar-

the spread of fire from fragile,

He declared he could not under

Individual EARNINGS

For Market Recovery
BY Victor Eubonk
BY the Asseeioted Press

NEW YORK, April 27.-The stock
market continues its specialized re-
covery today although many rails
and industrials suffered from the
lack of sound bids.
Individual earnings, actual and
prospective, still provided the prin-
cipal prop for favorites such as
Montgomery Ward and United Bis
cult which added or more points
to their bulge of the preceding
session.
Carriers again had to contend
with large-scale March income losses
although no particular weakness was
exhibited by this group. The thought
here was that the bad news"
was out AND chances were good
for betterment over coming months
if the expected freight rate in
creases are sufficient to overcome
rising wages and other costs.
Dealings were quiet throughout as
numerous customers held aloof be-
cause of possible happenings over
the week end. While assorted
pivotals remained in the minus COL
umn, and many issues did nothing,
advances were in the majority near
the close. Transfers ran to around
100000 shares for the short proceed
ings.

u. 5. Asks Negotiation
OF Iceland Pact for
Permanent Air Bases

The United States has sug-
gested negotiation of a new
agreement with Iceland to make
air bases built there by this
country during the war available
for joint Iceland-American use
permanently, the State Depart
ment announced today.
Premier Olafur Thors of Iceland
disclosed the American proposal in
an official statement at Reykjavik
last night.
The State Department said no
actual negotiations have taken
place and none are scheduled so
far, however.
Proposed Last October.
The proposal for bases was sub
mitted to Iceland last October /,
the department said, and at the
same time the United States re-
iterated assurances that it would
whole-heartedly support Iceland's
application for admission to the
United Nations.
The proposal provided that Ice
land might make any military facil-
tiles granted the United States
available to the Security Council in
fulflllment of obligations which Ice
land might assume on admission to
the United Nations.
The announcement said the Ice
landic government informed the
United States last November that
it was not ready to enter negotia-
tions on the base proposals. but was
prepared for further discussions
concerning joining the United Ma
tions.
Entered Iceland in 194l.
The State Department recalled
that the United States forces en-
tered Iceland in July, l94l, on the
invitation of the Icelandic govern
ment, and built up bases which
played vital part against the
Axis in keeping open the Allied
lines OF sea and air communications
across the North Atlantic.
The United States agreed in the
beginning to withdraw all its mill
tary forces from Iceland Immediately
on conclusion of the war, and to-
days announcement said the limited
personnel still remaining there
numbering about 1000 men-will be
withdrawn and the bases turned
over to Iceland in accordance with
this agreement.
