De Valera Rejects
Dali Members Plea
To End Neutrality
Suggestion Of Fine Goel
Deputy Leoder Opposed
By Coserove Also
Rythe Associated Press

DUBLIN, July ia suggestion
by James Dillon, deputy leader Of
the Fine Gael party, that Fire aban-
don her neutrality stand and CO.
operate with Great Britain and the
United States was rejected last night
by Prime Minister Eamon de Valera.
If any one attacks us then every
one OF us can die II necessary f1ght-
ing for what we are certain is a
just cause" Mr.. De Valera told the
Dali.
William T. Cosgrsve. ex-President
of the Irish Free State and Fine
Gael leader said he didn't think
Mr.. Dillon's suggestion was wise.
Mr.. Cosgrave abandoned opposi-
ton to the de Valera government
year ago and said his party agreed
with the Prime Minister on neu-
tralitv and action against the out
lawed Irish Republican Army.
Mr.. Dillon told the Dali he be-
lieved neutrality was not the correct
course for Fire and declared the
Irish should ascertain precisely
what operation Great Britain and
the United States might require TO
insure success" against Germany.
He said the Irish then should "af-
ford to the United States and Brit
ain cooperation to Sne utmost OF
their resources"
Since the outbreak of hostilities
in Europe. the British government
has sought to re-establiSh naval
bases at Cobb. Berehaven and Lough
Swilly. British Prime Minister
Churchill has said refusal of Mr..
De Valera to turn over the bases and
airfields in Fire put grievous load
upon the British navy In its fight
against the U-boat blockade
Mr.. De Valera. told the Dial that
no matter from which side Fire
might be attacked the Irish would
fight and that is not a cowardly
position"

Reich Faces SHORTAGE
OF Oil in September,
British Source Says
Russian War Reported
To Have Seriously Cut
Supplies Already
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, July 18. - Germany's S
armies and air force are threatened
with a severe oil and fuel shortage
If the Russian campaign continues
through September. a Ministry of
Economic Warfare source declared
today.
German supplies already are "se-
verely cut" by the war with Russia
and the Red Air Forces lombard
ments of the Rumanian Ploesti oil
fields and oil-shipping port of Con-
stanta. according to this source.
He said the Germans lost an an
nual supply of about 100000 tons
of oil when they attacked the Soviet
Union, this being his estimate of
what Russia supplied Germany
under their trade agreement.
Although this tonnage was small,
he said it was oil used as a lubri-
cant and in Diesel motors and hence
was very important TO the German
war machine"
Captured Stocks Used L.
Nazi war needs now have used up
all oil stocks captured in the Polish.
Norwegian, Flanders and French
campaigns. this course continued,
and there are many signs of a
serious shortage among civilians in
Germany"
In the occupied countries. he said
there is no fuel for any one but
the Luftwaffe.
The Italian government an
nounced today there would be
no gasoline for privately owned
vehicles issued in Italy after
October IL
The ministry informant attached
Importance to the bombing of Con-
stanta, where, he said. large supplies
of oil were lying on the docks wait
ing to be shipped
He added that the Germans had
been forced to use sea routes for oil
transport because of the weight of
railroad traffic due to the Russian
campaign and said the British Navy
has carried out a ceaseless cam
paign against German tankers in
the Mediterranean and the Russians
report success against other tankers
in the Black Sea"
Blows at Plants Hit Economy.
British air blows at German syn
thetic oil plants are damaging to
German economy. and the British
are looking forward to the longer
nights when four -motored American
bombers can carry the attack to
Nazi plants beyond the present
range of night raids, the informant
said.
Even if the Germans win in Rus
sia. he asserted. their oil supply sit
uation will not be improved If
proper demolitions are carried out"

eral Works Agency and former
president of the United Federal
Workers of America. The report said
that although Mr.. Baker could offer
no concrete evidence that Mrs.
Miller is a member of the Com
munist Party, his basis for this con-
clusion is the nature of the organi-
zations with which she has affiliated
herself and that her attitude on
public questions has shifted with
the shifting of the attitude of the
Communist party
Linked to Peace Mobiliza ton.
Solicitor Reilly pointed out that
Mrs. Millers membership and ac-
tive participation in the American
Peace Mobilization was undertaken
Notwithstanding prohibition by
her national union against the send
ing of delegates to meetings og the
American Peace Mobilization and
notwithstanding it had been spe-
officially called to her attention by
her fellow workers that this was
Communist-domin organization.
In summary, the evidence of Mrs.
Millers past membership in the
Communist party, her activities and
affiliations before and since that
time which are predominately con-
sistent with the view that she re-
mains. if not member of the Com
munist party in a formal sense, in
any case AFFILIATED with it and ac-
cepting its discipline, and the opin-
ion of other fellow workers, COM
bine to point to the conclusion that
she is now member of the Com
munist party or is so closely affili-
ated with 1t as to continue to be
accepting its point of view and dis
cipline"
, Mr.. Reilly announced that If
Mrs. Miller so desires she may ap-
pear in person to answer these
charges at hearing on July "a
before L. M. Walling. hearing offi-
GER. He said Mrs. Miller may be
represented by counsel
Mrs. Miller was suspended on the
recommendation of A. F. Hinrichs,
acting commissioner Of the Bureau
of Labor Statistics. His recommen-
dation approved by Secretary Perk-
ins under civil service rules, charge
that Mrs. Miller impaired the eff
cheney of the bureau because she is
or has been a member of organiza-
tions. including the American Peace
Mobilizat ton, which promoted CON-
munist policies, that she had been
engaged in active leadership in
these organizations and that she
