Oil for Future War
Is Stored in China

NANKING, China tP.-Awakened
to the fact that it takes lot Of motor
fuel to keep a modern military force
moving. China's defense experts have
hit on the scheme of requiring every
automobile owner to keep a 50-gallon
oil reserve available on his premises
at all times.
In event of war, this reserve au-
tomatically would become the prop

toll was only $3.50 for car, three pas

the driving time from 9 in the morn
ing until early afternoon.
6:45 p.m.-Through Tallahassee at
dusk, and because there was no trailer
camp there We hastened on to Ocala,
where we were assured q new trailer
camp with all the modern conven-
fences had just been completed. Ocala
offered every prospect Of a pleasant
night, except that the new trailer
camp was not completed and was
miles away on a side road. The town
looked hospitable, so We picked
place where it seemed We would not
be in the way and pulled up to the
curb, only 10 find printed In large
black letters at frequent intervals:
Cars not permitted to stand over
night" The town had evidently had its
lnfestation Of trailers at an earlier date
and taken an antidote. Throughout
the town the curbs bore the warning
to overnight parkers. We were to learn
next day just what trailers, multiplied
to their nth power could mean to a
town which played host to this mod
ern type Of travellers. So few Of the
Winter resorts have yet provided ac-
commodations where trailers may be
switched of onto Q siding, there to
be left, like so many freight cars,
where they will not interfere with
trafic or obstruct the view Of the
surrounding landscape, that any Flor
ida town which hangs out q welcome
sign to trailers Immediately becomes a
mecca and soon looks like one Of
Paul Rainey's pictures Of an elephant
herd in Africa. The trailer Is q great
boon to the traveller. but it Is q prob
lem TO know where to park 1t.

the governments allegations. He
shook hands with several OF those
sitting in the prisoners section.

Meanwhile, Chairman King Of the
Senate District Committee, during a
visit to the White House today. told
President Roosevelt that he believes
Jacobs report on United States-Dis-
trict fiscal relations contains some
valuable suggestions and recon-
mendations."
The Utah Senator indicated he had
in mind sections of the report deal
ing with revision of local taxes. The
Senator reiterated the view he has
expressed many times in the past
that taxes on homes should be kept
as light as possible and new laws en-
acted to provide for local income and
inheritance taxes.
Open Mind on Formula.
As to the three point formula laid
down in the Jacobs report as basis
Of settling the fiscal relations contro-
versy, Senator King said he had not
finished studying it and therefore still
has an open mind toward 1t.
Senator King did not divulge any
views the President may have ex-
pressed during their conference.

and budget officer, has estimated the

In fixing February Is as the date

the Appropriation Subcommittee time
to determine the amount Of the Dis

year and to decide whether the lump

Jacobs report. Chairman Kennedy
explained it would be futile for his
subcommittee to consider new tax
legislation before knowing how much
additional revenue would have to be
raised to meet budget requirements.

after we know the amount that will
have to be raised" he said.
In the meantime, Kennedy urged
the subcommittee to make q serious
study Of the Jacobs report, as well as
the voluminous brief on fiscal rela-
tions filed with the Jacobs Committee
several months ago by the Citizens
Joint Committee on Fiscal Relations.
j. L. Jacobs, Chicago efficiency en-
gineer, who directed the latest fiscal
relations survey, Is to be the first wit
ness called before the subcommittee.
Chairman Collins and his Appropria-
ton Subcommittee are to be invited
to sit with the Kennedy Subcommittee
during the hearings.
Kennedy also will ask Jacobs to
bring with him members Of his tech
nical staff. The Advisory Committee,
which aided Jacobs, also is to be sum-
moned, as well as Maj. Donovan. The
Advisory Committee is composed Of
George McAnemy, president OF the
Title Guaranty Trust Co., New York
City; Clarence A. Dykstra, city man
ager of flood stricken Cincinnati, and
James Martin, chairman Of the Ken

Representative Nichols, Democrat. Of
Oklahoma is chairman, will consider
10 proposed statutory changes In the
Jacobs report. Nichols, however, has
not made definite plans for his sub
committee, and indications are it will
be next week before 1t meets.
