electric power six hours Wednes
day, and service was intermittent
thereafter as the winds blew.
Rain also fell, but the county

had caused 14 telephone line
breaks In the 12-mlle stretch from
Newport to Depotf Bay. Power
lines also were downed at some
of the same places, and when the
power lines crossed telephone
lines, they burned out circuits.

WASHINGTON Rep. Mol-
lohan (D-WVa), noting- that the
railroads have stepped up their
buying of new freight car, said
Friday the government could well
raise its us incentive goal.
Mollohan heads a House govern-
meat operations subcommittee
which last July looked into reports
that, despite the Office ot Defense
Mobilization's program lor. last
tax writeoffs on freight oars, the
freight car fleet was shrinking.
He said In an interview that the,
railroads' applications for rapid
tax amortization certificates for
new freight cara have climbed
sharply during the last few months
to pass the ODM'a goal of 4M.0OO
cars.
The applications total now stands
at about 460,000, and Mollohan
said It may exceed 600.000 before
the Dec. 31 deadline on requests
for the tax help.
T have talked with defense
mobillzer Hemming- about raialng
the goal," he said. "Hemming
was not unsympathetic.
Mollohon said complaints have
flowed into his committee about
freight car shortages in the Pa
ciflc Northwest and in the Mid
west grain belt. He said a "se
rious shortage" in Eaatem coal
areas including his own state haa
prevented mines Jrom operating
more than about three days a
week.
Officials at the Assn. ot Ameri
can Railroad said, however, there
is no overall freight car shortage
now although in certain localities
demand for special types of cars

As for the increase In tax bene

this mainly to the railroads hav
