Suspension of Contra cts During Military Serv-
 ice Is Now Law

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-Presi- dent Roosevelt has signed a bill pro- viding relief to army draftees on fixed obligations during their year in training, and a measure requiring registration of organizations subject to foreign control.
 The alien registration measure, sponsored by Representative Voorhis of California, provides that all or ganizations of foreign control or advocating overthrow of the United States government must register with the State Department.
 The bill affecting financial obli- gations of draftees provides that they may obtain court suspension of certain contracts leases and fixed charges while they are under train ing at $50 monthly. The measure, patterned after a World War law, is designed to prevent financial hardships for drafted men whose income falls during their year of military service.

WASHINGTON = When Cordel Hull wants to turn on his Ten nessee mountain wrath he can dc a magnificent job, and the woro which leaked out of his inner sanc- tum is that this was the kind of a job he did when Japanese Am bassador Horinouchi called on him just after the United States had decided to recall its citizens from China.
 The Hull dressing down, together with internal reactions m Japan, seems to have cooled off the Jap anese somewhat. Intelligence re- ports reaching Washington indi- cate that the danger of Japanese declaration of war against Britain, over the opening of the Burma Road, is ebbing What the Japan ese are expected to do is to sub- feet the Burma Road, with its in- coming supplies of munitions for the Chinese army, to as intensive a bombing as is possible from air bases in South China and adja- cent French Indo-China.
 As far as any attack upon the United States is concerned, all the reports received in Army and Navy circles-and they have been study ing the situation as carefully as they know how-are that Japan cannot and will not risk war with the United States.
 In the first place, her navy has fuel oil for only two and half months. Her army hasagasoline for only three months. And perhaps even more important, there is re- ported to be considerable division of opinion inside the Japanese Gov ernment.
 One group, headed by Prince Konoye, feels that Japan IS merely being used by Hitler and the Axis to scare the United States away from more aid to the British. In fact. Konoye vigorously opposed signing the alliance, but finally had to yield to more aggressive Foreign Minister Matsuoka and the War Minister. In addition, American ob- servers detect an uneasy feehhe among the Japanese people ano increasing rumblings of unrest.
 NOTE-Few foreign policies have met with greater unanimity inside the State Department than the American attitude on the Far East There have been some differences with other Cabinet members who wanted to take an even stronger stand, but inside the State Depart ment, Hull and Welles are 100 per cent together.

Japanese Newspaper Is. sues Warning 10 People
 of Nippon Kingdom

TOKYO, Oct. 19.-The influen- tial newspaper Asahi warned the Japanese people today to give care- ful attention to economic negotia- tions now in progress between the United States and Soviet Russia.
 The newspaper said the United States obviously is attempting 10 obtain political advantage by grant, ing the Soviet Union economic aid that is particularly needed in Rus sia. Asahi said the negotiations are aimed at Japan and the Axis powers It pointed out that the United States and Britain are giving in- creased aid to the Chungking gov- ernment of China, and are attempt ing to bring Soviet Russia into their orbit.
 The newspaper sees indications of progress in the negotiations in the United States sale of $7,000,000 worth of machine tools to the So- viet Union, and the chartering of an oil tanker to carry oil products to ValdivoStok.
 Said Asahi: "The conversations indicate that the Soviet Union does not altogether approve of the three power alliance. However, it is clear that the Soviet Union won't par ticipate in a world conflict to pick chestnuts out of the fire for the United States and Britain in the Far East"

There's q Trick in
Rocking Out of Snow

An old but always useful trick
when trying to get traction for
pulling out of snow is to get the
car rocking. That Is. move 1t for
ward as far as it will 60, then back
ward.
There should be as little time lost
as possible when changing direc-
tions. The effect is to get the car
up to sufficient momentum to carry
it out of the depression. Chief diff
ficulty in doing this lies in handling
the gears for the quick shifting.
However, after you get the car
rocking a bit, you need consider
forward speed. Leave the car in
low, allow the engine to pull it as
far forward as it will go before
the wheels start to spin, then let
the car roll back as far as it will

venient vents where air can be ex-
PEELED.
Among the gasoline heaters we
have to consider fan efficiency
Usually these heaters produce
enough heat to worm the car with
out benefit of the fan, but for good
health the advantage of super
heater lies in the fact that, with
the fan working properly, there is
opportunity to introduce a larger
quantity of fresh air during the
heating. This is always more
healthy than reheating stale air.
Gasoline Heaters Improved.
Improvements in gasoline heaters
have eliminated the possibility Of
interference with engine operation.
With Older types still in use. it may
be necessary to watch the car
buretor and guard against any pos
sibility of the engine not working
normally. One of the advantages
of the gas heater is its ability to
provide heat when the engine is
stopped.
The heat is there. Why not take
the simple steps needed to use it?
Evening star., 1940-10-20
Remedies for Heatint
Inefficieney Usually
As Simple as Cause
One Common Mistake
Is to Have Cooling
System Level Too Low

To know the engine of his car is
wasting heat enough to warm a
l0-room house is little comfort to
the motorist who is shivering be-
cause his heater isn't doing good
job. What he may overlook is the
fact which alone may account for
failure to get sufficient comfort from
the heating equipment.
Remedies for heating inefficiency
are usually as simple as the cause.
A common mistake is to carry the
level of the cooling SYSTEMS con-
tents too low. This may be due to
neglect or to desire to avoid having
the level so high that water may
spill out the overflow when the car
is stopped suddenly or the cooling
system run a little hotter than nor
NAL. Heaters usually are mounted
fairly high under the dash. often
so high that unless the fluid level
is kept up to normal the heater
core will be fed air instead of fluid
much of the time.
Floor installation of heaters solve
this problem of levels because the
heater core is then we'll within the
level OF fluid in the cooling system.
Incidentally, leakage is more Sc
rious where a heater is in this posi-
ton, so check any tendency which
shows up. Should the car stand
for any length of time when
equipped with heater in this posi-
ton, much water would be lost.
This could lead to serious over
heating of the engine when the car
is used again. Due to the low posi-
tioning Of modern engines. a lower
positioning of the heater is an adj
vantage That is one reason why
the underSeat heater is now III
vogue, regardless of its greater eff"
cheney in heating the car uniformly
Inspect Hose Connections.
Motorists worry good deal over
thermostats when trying TO figure
out why a hot-Water heater doesn't
heat properly, but they would dc
better to concentrate on inspection
of the hose connections. particu-
larly the upper one. which can
block off flow of fluid to the heater
core as effectively as half-closed
/ thermostat. Fluid should always
pass to the heater core as rapidly
as possible. We need not worry sc
much about allowing the water to
Evening star., 1940-10-20

circulate rapidly from the heater to
the engine, although it is we'll to
replace the return hose when it
shows internal disruption.
Retarding circulation of water to
the heater core forces its tempera-
ture down. Heat is slower in trans
fer from the engine block and head
to the heater. Cases are frequently
found where the water is so tepid
in the heater core that the heater
fan actually cools it off with prac-
tically no heat being transferred to
the car.
Long-delayed heating is usually
due to the motor thermostat stick
ing in the open position so that
water circulates through the cars
radiator from the moment the en-
gine starts. Normally, the thermo-
stat stays closed until water around
the engine block is up to temper
ature where the engine runs eff
GENTLY. But if the valve is old
and rusted and sticks in the open
position the engine will be longer
warming up. Delay in heating may
be such that, in moderate run,
the driver enjoys no heat at all.
Remedy for this situation is to re-
place the thermostat. There is no
advantage in trying to free up the
old one, and much risk since its
valve is just as apt to stick in the
closed position, resulting in severe
overheating.
Adjustable Thermostats Good.
Adjustable thermostats are excel
lent where there is difiiculty effect
ing compromise between the pos
sibility of heating the engine too
much and raising heat high enough
to obtain results from the heater at
the earliest moment. Here there is
opportunity to adjust the thermo-
stat to meet the engines peculiar
thermal characteristics, including
those of the heater itself.
Hot-water heaters become ineffl-
cient when air-bound. This con-
dition results in hot air passing
through the core instead of water.
The steam would be effective if in
large enough quantities, but in a
heating system it forms pockets and
tends to block the passage of water.
Sometimes these pockets cause
belching, forcing the water to 90
through so quickly that circulation
is too rapid. Water is lost out the
overflow pipe where there is too
much air and steam in the system.
Many hot-Water heaters have con-

Spring May Be Cause
OF 'FIut-Tire' Ride

That "fat-tire" ride need not be
a mystery if you give thought to
what contributes to riding comfort.
First, there is the resiliency of the
rubber of the tires. Then the air
cushion in those tires. Next come
the shackles, which cushion shock
either with lubricant or with rubber.
Then the cars springs. Next, the
spring controls, the so-called shock
absorbers. And, finally, the seat
cushions.
Keeping this in mind. one can
quickly figure that if the car rides
as if it had a fiat tire. and the tires
are all right. the trouble is due to
a broken spring.
