Rates on both gas and electricity agreed upon by the Authority are “substantially lower” than regular rates charges by the power com pany7, officials said. Meter System H. R. Emory, executive manager of the Housing Authority, said that under the proposal, the service will be purchased through two meters, one for gas and another for elec tricity, which will be set up at each project, and in that, way each family can be supplied at a lower cate. The Authority, however, will set up individual meters for each family and will check each meter regularly. Each family will probably be al lotted a definite amount of gas and electricity and if its runs over that amount it will be charged according to the rates for it, he said. Under the contracts the maximum cost per family should be about $1.60 to $1.80 per month for electricity which will be used both for lighting and refrigeration, and about $1.05 per month for gas for each family. The first block of electricity, or about 30 kilowatt hours, will be 3.3 cents a kilowatts, the next block will be two cents and all over that one and a half cents. The gas rates will start at 90 cents for the first block, or per 1,000 cubic feet. All above the first block will be 60 cents. The proposed rates, agreed upon by the Tide Water Power company and the Housing Authority, will be submitted to the state utilities com mission for final approval before be ing placed into effect, Mr. Emory said. The agreement upon the contracts constituted the principal business enacted at the meeting.

The Russian prisoners were saved by the Finns, who herded them into bomb-proof cellars. For more than four hours ten Russian planes punished the prison town of Kajaani in north central Finland with bombs and incendiary explosives. Two hospitals and a teachers college were damaged, three large houses were destroyed, and 20 others were set afire. Two Finns were killed and many others injured. Turku Also llaiiled This and another raid on Turku, Finland’s third largest and oldest city, were carried out while the Red army on the Karelian isthmus gave evidence it was intent upon wearing down the Finns by sheer manpower and mechanized weight, regardless of what the costs might be. In the Arctic meanwhile the main Russian forces were reported falling back from Markajarvi toward Salla, some 35 miles from the frontier. Reliable sources said light detach ments of Soviet soldiers attacked the Finns at Markajarvi, on the cross Finland highway 20 miles southwest of Salla, to cover the retreat.

Henry Gilliken, of L Wilmington, won the 148 lb. Open class title with a decision over Dick Young, of Bel mont Abbey. Gilliken pushed the fight in the first, using a good left and follow ing with a right when he could find an opportunity. He worked almost entirely on Young’s body, seldom aiming for his head. Southpaw Gilliken continued to use his left in the second, abandon ing some of the caution which had been apparent in the first round. The second round was easily Gilli ken’s. Gilliken went like a house afire in the last round, driving in with pounding rights and lefts, driving Young around the ring almost at will. He was throwing punches with both hands and connecting. Zaue Winters, who fought a won derful battle with Red Beard Tues day night, won the title in the 161 lb. Open class when Walter Hulak, who hurt his left in his fight with Delmar Mobley last night, was forced to forfeit because of the in jury. Fred Barnhill, of Wilmington, won the 176 lb. Open title with a decision over Josh Johnson, of Raleigh. Barnhill, a southpaw, used a good, hard-hitting left to count against Johnson at a distance and on a couple of occasions was able to mix a right cross in for good measure. Again Barnhill took the offensive, using his right to some extent but with much less accuracy than when he used his right. The round was close, with Barnhill taking the edge. Johnson took the offensive in the opening of the third but it was soon Barnhill who was driving in, pound ing. For a while they stood toe and toe and slugged and were still slug ging when the final gong rang while the crowd, standing, yelled at the top of its lungs. Tiny Taylor, of Wilmington, won the heavyweight open class title with a decisio nover Charlie McNeil, of Lumberton. The battle of the behemoths start ed faster than any heavyweight bout ever staged here before in a GG tour ney. For a full 20 seconds after the opening gong the two hefties stood toe and toe, pounding each other with rights and lefts with the speed and regularity of trip hammers. From there on the split the honors, one now having the advantage, now the other being ahead. In the first round McNeill looked like an entirely different man from the Tubby who fought here two years ago, but in the second, with Taylor pushing the fight and making it still a speedy one, he reverted to form and at the end of the round was the same old Tubby, swinging roundhouse haymakers that missed their mark by feet. The pace was far too fast for a heavyweight bout, with both boys tir ing in the latter part of the third round. It was Taylor’s round, as the too-tired McNeil hung on to the ropes with one hand and attempted to fight with the other. J. P. Shepherd, of Raleigh, won the 127 pound open class cham pionship, with a decision over Col lier Ostwalt, Jr., fif Belmont. Both boys were cautious in the first, apparently wanting to play a two-sided waiting game. Toward the latter part of the round, Shep herd took the offensive and took the edge of the round by .’..tting as he rushed in. Again caution was the watch word, with Ostwalt landing one good left and one good right dur ing the bout, while Shepherd was able to throw a hard left and sev eral less hard jabs to Ostwalt’s head. The last round was a battle of lefts, with Shepherd landing four with power and Ostwalt countering with a hard left, a hard right and several blows of lesser power and effect. George weuion, oi eeimoni ao bey, won the 136 pound open class title, with a decision over Garret Rice, of Marion, N. C. Using a left jab effectively, Rice looked much better than he did in his fight Tuesday night with Ed Flora. He drove off Weldon’s push ing fight and kept his own through out the first round. With his left jab still working effectively, Rice was able to keep Weldon at a distance and at a dis advantage during the first part of the round. Once, however, Wel don slipped in on him and worked on his head with both rights and lefts. Once again the lanky lad from Marion came free, and began his jabbing again. The third was more of the same. As long as Rice could keep Weldon away, he could jab him right much at will, but when Weldon came into him, the fighting was all Weldon’s. Bill Kanos, of Lumberton, won the Novice 160 pound champion ship 051 a forfeit from Erwin John son, of Erwin, who did not appear for his fight. Gerald Wise, of Manteo, won the lightheavyweight Novice champion ship over Marvin Pruitt, of Lum berton. The first round was a slugfest hnvs swinging wild and hard from the opening gong. Pruitt took the offensive but soon was forced to back off. Both boys were frequently off balance and each slipped to the canvas twice. Short ly before the bell Wise beat him down with a series of blows to the head and the bell rang at the count of five. The second was another slam bangaroo, with both boys throwing ’em hot and heavy but with Wise showing considerably more accur acy. Twice near the close of the round he felled Pruitt and had him coming up from a third count at the bell. Still weak from the blow which put him down in the second, Pruitt was easy meat for Wise in the fin WILMliNliTUJN MUKJMUSb SIAK, WILMINGTON, N. C.

Twice he had him down for counts of eight, once for a count of six, once for a count of seven and several times he tapped him down but he came back before the count. Jimmy Swan won the 112 pound championship with a knockout over Carlos Henderson, of Raleigh, in one minute of the first round. It was a hard right to the chin, while Jimmy had him on the ropes, that did the work. George Franquez, of Belmont Ab bey, won the 118 pound Open class with a decision over Ted McFall, of Charlotte. Smiling Franquez looked much the classier of the two in the open ing round as he displayed good tim ing and accuracy to take the round with ease. The little, colorful Polynesian early in the second worked hard on McFall’a head until the latter was groggy and then gently sat him in the ropes and danced to a neutral corner. Outpointed and hoping for a knockout, McFall came out of his corner fighting hard in t._e third, but he was no match for the ever-laugh ing Franquez who beat his ears down, bent him over with rights and straightened him with rights and lefts. Jimmy Casteen, of Wilmington, won the 1S6 lb. Novice championship by a decision over Red Cecil Horne, of Belmont. Casteen was the aggressor in the first round, pushing the fight to Horne practically all the way. Cas teen, not fighting his usual defen sive fight, drove his opponent before him. Horne scored early in the second round, but with both boys clinching frequently the honors of the round went to Referee William K. Rhodes, Jr., who stumbled, fell into the ropes and broke down the ring, after a minute and nine seconds. The boys seemed to welcome the rest which followed while the ring was repair ed. From there on Casteen drove in time and again to punish his tall er opponent. Horne came out fighting but Cas teen soon drove him off and again assumed the role of the aggressor. He drove Horne back and back, finally knocking him through the iujjco j-ui )—U. S. Senator Robert A.

Board Votes Not To Pay Contingent Interest On Bonds NEW YORK, Feb. 7— CP) —The board of directors of the Baltimore Ohio Railroad today decided not to pay contingent interest May 1 on any of the carrier’s bonds or obliga tions upon which all or part of the interest is contingent. The meeting was the first held since the road’s reorganization plan received tacit approval last month by the U. S. supreme court, which refused to review the proceedings of a federal statutory court at Balti more which had approved the plan November 8. The reorganization plan, brought under the Chandler Act, rung for eight years. Under it, security hold ers agree to annual interest reduc tion from about $30,000,000 to about $19,000,000. The directors were required under the plan to determine available net income for 1939, which they found to CHICAGO POTATOES CHICAGO, Feb. 7— CP) —(U. S. Dept.

The board was given discretion to determine what portions of this money could be applied to reimburse the company for capital invest ments, not exceeding 2 1-2 per cent of total railway operating revenues, or $4,025,000. Accordingly the board set aside $2,000,000 in a capital fund, which was less, they reported, than capital investment during 1939. The directors further determined, as they deemed they had the power to under the plan, to transfer as "expedient and in the best interest of the company and its security holders” the remainder of the avail able net income, or $7,751,000, to in crease the company's net working capital. Consequently none was diverted to contingent interest or to the sink ing fund.

CHICAGO GRAIN CHICAGO, Feb. 7— (J?) —Wheat J prices rallied about a cent at times today, strengthened by reports of improved flour demand and milling j activity, but this ten: n-ary bulge faded in the finai hour and the mar- j ket closed fractionally lower. A burst of flour business the past week, principally in the southwest j hard winter wheat area, imparted seme strength to the market. Inas- much as most sales were booked during the recent price decline there was little lifting of hedges in this connection today. Most of the sell- ing was associated with modest pro- j fit taking inspired by the price j rally of the past two days as well as prospects of more rain or snow over much of the grain belt. Wheat closed 3-8—5-8 cent lower than yesterday, May 98—98 1-8, July 95 3-8—1-2. Corn was 1-4—3-8 down, May 56 1-8—56, July 56; oats 1-8— 3-8 higher; rye 1-2—3-4 lower and lard unchanged to 5 higher. Wheat dipped about 1-2 cent in I early dealings but then advanced a i cent during the first hour to the best levels in more than a week. 1 Milling interests reported flour sales in the southwest equaled 129 per cent of the milling capacity the past 1 week, a sharp gain compared with only 11 per cent the previous week and 30 per cent a year ago. There were reports of large chain bakery sales the past few days. Spring wheat mills experienced only a mild upturn in business, according' to the northwestern miller, bookings being 40 per cent of capacity compared with 20 per cent the previous week and 43 per cent a year ago. Some traders regarded the week ly weather report as significant :n view of mention of oats damage in Oklahoma due to freezing and re ferenee to uncertainty regarding possible damage to wheat. It re ported some wheat in Texas was hurt by the recent cold weather. Canada sold approximately 200,000 bushels of wheat abroad along with scattered lots of barley and oats.

The picture opens with “Gulliver’s” shipwreck on the shores of "Lilliput," a fantastic wonderland "somewhere in the South Seas,” where the tall est inhabitant measures up to a man’s boot and the highest build ing could be hidden behind a bar „_1 t l,« *it ill; putians” tie up the immense visi tor while he is sleeping, and he awakes to find himself their prisoner. "Gulliver’s” adventures crowd thick and fast when, after superhu man effort, the "Lilliputians” drag him to their capital city on a flat car. At first regarded as a menace, “Gulliver” turns into a national hero through his amazing- feats of strength and soon becomes chief aide to “King Little,” the ruler of the bantam kingdom. The visitor gets the chance to per form his greatest feat when war threatens between "Lilliput” and the adjoining kingdom of "Blefuscu." The controversy hinges upon the question of what song shall be play ed at the wedding of "Prince David" of “Blefuscu" to “Princess Glory” of "Lilliput.” "King Little” insists upon "Faithful,” the Lilliputian” na tional anthem, while the rival king, “Bombo,” is just as determined to have it “Forever,” the "Blefuscuan” hymn. It is up to "Gulliver” to re solve the controversy, reunite the stricken lovers and prevent the war. A real outstanding short program accompanys the feature. “Drunk Driving,” of the “Crime Does Not Pay,” series tops the subject. There is another of those “Information Please” subjects, the first of which was shown at the Carolina last Week and created much favorable com ment. The News of the Day is also on the program. "IN NAME ONLY” MARKS BIJOU PROGRAM TOO AI A vivid, memorable presentation of a modern social problem is "In Name Only,” which opens at the Bijou the atre today, with Carole Lombard, Cary Grant and Kay Francis com prising its dramatic triangle. "In Name Only” is a sincerely-told story fashioned into an excellent en tertainment. A selfish, mercenary woman has married a wealthy young man for whom she has no love what ever. Bv the time he learns what his wife is really like she has firmly intrenched herself in the affections of his unsuspecting parents. He does nothing about his marital difficulties until he meets a charming young widow and falls in love. When he asks his -wife for his freedom she refuses, having no intention of giv ing up her secure position and her prospects. Out of this impasse the story climbs to gripping dramatic heights, with splendid performances of the three principals aiding vastly in building its realism and emotional appeal. Miss Lombard's work as'the “other woman” and the portrayals of the married couple by Grant and Miss Francis are superlative, ranking among the finest of these three fav orites. Supporting players are equal ly notable, particularly Charles Co burn, Helen Vinson, Katharine Alex ander, Jonathan Hale and Maurice Moscovich. The latest Paramount News pre cedes the feature on the program. EXCELLENT PICTURE IS FEATURED AT ROYAL “Intermezzo, a Love Story.” at the Royal theatre, is an excellent motion picture. Not only has Mr. Selznick produced another top-notch motion picture, but he has introduced to American audiences for the first time Miss Ingrid Bergman, a glorious new star imported from the continent. Miss Bergman is both a beautiful blonde and a fine actress, and Mr. Selznick's "Intermezzo” proved an excellent vehicle for her histrionic talents, “Intermezzo, a Love Story” is a picture which must be immediately placed in the upper brackets. In ad dition to Miss Bergman, its stellar strength includes Leslie Howard, fresh from his triumphs in “Pygma lion,” and Edna Best, who came all the way from England to round out the starring trio. An excellent sup porting cast, headed by John Halli day, Cecil Kellaway, Enid Bennett and Eleanor Wesselhoeft, adds im measurably to the fine acting which highlights the production through out. A ser' en snapshot, a novelty on exterminating mice and a Gruntlnnd Rice Sportlite complete an excellent show.
