MOTORISTS ARRESTED
USING TOO MUCH GAS

Washington. - Fifty-two Dis
trict of Columbia motorists re-
ceived Sunday a sample of what
may be in store for automobile
drivers throughout the East due
to the shortage of gasoline in this
area.
Their exhausts were Tuning at
such a rate as to indicate excess
sive use of fuel. They were es-
corted to police headquarters, and
there some of the drivers did a
little personal Tuning, while their
cars were inspected.
A special testing device showed
that fifty of the automobiles
were using excessive quantities
of gasoline. "Red stickers" were
issued against their operators
and they were given ten days in
which to make mechanical adj
iustments. No defect was found
in two of the cars.

YOU
CAN HELP!

North Cardinals legalized brewing
industry wants no law-violating ele-
ment within its ranks. 1t wants no
beer outlets that use their licenses to
mask anti.social activities.
Hence the consistent effort under the
"clean up or close up" campaign to
eliminate the comparatively few
beer retailers who do not respect the
privilege of their licenses.
In cooperation with law enforce
ment agencies, our Committee has
made progress. But Our goal is a
10Oqo law-abidins business and we
insist that all retail beer outlets be
able to withstand the searvhlisht Of
public scrutiny.
You can help us attain this objective
by patronizinS the orderly outlets in
your community and reporting any
unlawful conditions to officials or to
this Committee. -..~-.

Volunteers Seen Cutting
Draft Quotas Is Per Cent

Volunteer enlistments in the Reg
ular Army and National Guard
promise to reduce selective service
quotas of the next four months by
about Is per cent, Army officials
estimated today.
At the present rate of enlstments,
they said, only about 100000 trainees
would have to be inducted to expand
the land forces to the 1,418.00O total
set for June 80. Under original eSti-
mates, 300 900 men were to have been
summoned for years military Serv-
ice by June 80. Already more than
200, 900 have been inducted.
officials said the difference no
doubt would be made by men en-
listing in the Regular Army and
National Guard. The Regulars have
increased to present total of about
100000 from a strength of approx
mately 247000 last Midsummer.
National Guard enlistments have
swelled that force to about 100000
now in Federal service. BY the end
of June the Guard is expected to
be puilt up to a strength estimated
from 300, 1000 to 375 5000.

Cars Backed Up Long Way.
Cars backed up from the traffic
light at Lee boulevard and Arlington
Ridge road all the way past the Lin
coin Memorial. The slow pace Of the
traffic made it impossible for many
cars to obtain traction on the slip
perry street and stalled cars in soms
cases were abandoned overnight.
In Maryland probably the most se-

motorists were delayed for several
hours on the difficult grade of Cat
Tail Hill, between Riverdale and

On the overpass spanning the Bal

Hyattsville two large interstate
trucks stalled halfway up the steep

more as far as University Park, and
in the direction of Washington all

Air Crash Inquiry
To Hear Dispositions
From Survivors
Eddie Rickenbucker Is
Only One Too Badly Hurt
To Make Statement
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Ga, March 8.-Deposi-
tions from survivors of the Eastern
Air Lines sleeper plane crash near
here February 26 in which eight
were killed and eight injured were
ready for presentation to Federal
investigating committee today as
the inquiry entered its third day.
Of the survivors, only Capt. Eddie
Rickenbacker continued in such
condition that he had not been re-
quested to prepare a statement.
Testimony of the first two sessions
were devoted primarily to weather
conditions at the time the plane
wrecked.
Legible parts of the torn log Of
the plane were read yesterday,
showing visibility 10 miles at
Greensboro, N. c., at 10:48 pm. and
light rain and light ice" at Char
lotte, N. C. The time of the Char
lotte entry was illegible.
The plane crashed in a pine
thicket few miles from the Atlanta
Airport about midnight.
Capt. Fred E. Davis. chief check
pilot of Eastern Air Lines, read the
log and at the request of members
of the Civil Aeronautics Board con-
ducting the hearing discussed the
two altimeters carried by the plane
One, he said, was provided for sea
level and the other for field level.
In response to questioning, he said
if the altimeter reading were given
at 1894 when it should be 1894 the
effect on a plane would be to show
it at 1000 feet when on the ground.
Capt Davis related, by reference
to the log, that the pilot of the plane
was given the correct barometric
pressure reading of 1894 when the
plane passed near the Stone Noun
tain light at 11:44 pm.
All instruments in the plane were
destroyed and actual readings were
not available.

ton is contemplated on the east

Sailing Of Red Cross
Ship Is Delayed
AT IfaIy's Request
Needs More Time to
Notify Naval Vessels,
Rome Explains

Sailing of the mercy" ship Ex-
mouth with a cargo of milk, cloth
ing and medicines for children in
llnoccupied France has been delayed
until March II at Italy's suggestion,
the State Department disclosed to-
day.
Officials explained that guaran-
tees of safe conduct for the ship
were asked of all belligerent gov
ernments on behalf of the American
Red Cross, which chartered the YES
sci and will supervise distribution of
its cargo.
All the governments except Italy
granted the safe conduct assurances
under an arrangement for the ship
to sail from Jersey City today.
Italy, however, said more time was
needed to notify all her naval YES
sells, officials said. Germany, which
originally granted clearance for the
scheduled sailing today, later sup
ported Italy in suggesting that the
sailing be delayed until March II.
officials explained this situation
in denying reports that British re-
fusal to grant permission to carry
300 tons of oatmeal through the
blockade had caused the delay. A
larger quantity of milk has been
substituted for the oatmeal to make
up full cargo.

Belgrade
Continued From First Page0

tCOntlnued from flrSt PdgeD
passage down the Vardar River into
Salonika. This is the only door,
way into Greece where mechanical
equipment can operate efficiently.
The chief Yugoslav defense plan
has been predicated upon land at
tacks from the north by Germany
and Italy, with the separation of
Croatia as the invaders aim and
the possible Italian stab to be met
from Albania. In this event the
three northern cities will be sac
riflced temporarily for a long war
of attrition.
What the Germans now need to
join the axis forces in Albania with
those in Bulgaria is to take possess
sion of the Macedonian fortress and
get the Yugoslav Army out of the
way to the north. on its own un-
defended threshold.
Trust in Marsh Defense.
The Yugoslav general staff feels
still protected today against mobile
attacks from the Rumanian and
Hungarian flanks, because spring
rains and Danube floods have filled
the marshes there, making them i'm
paSSable to mechaniZed equipment; !;
but to allow the Germans to pene-
trate Macedonia and meet the Ital-
ians there, would be to close the
last segment of the axis frame which
now surrounds YugoSlavia, and to
cut off the last possibility of Bra
ish aid, in the remote event Eng
land should be able to offer and
Yugoslavia to accept it.
But a British -Yugoslav entente
now seems in Belgrade very unlikely
if not impossible. Relations have
been eXacerbated to the point that
several bombings which have oc-
Cured on Yugoslav soil, hietherto
attributed strictly to the Germans
are now being brought up again in
the form of an interrogation.
In spite of the strong vein of
Anglophile and democratic senti-
ment among civilians, and the dis
taste for TeutonS and NaZi pro-
cedures in both army and people
it is difficult to see how Britain has
improved its status here in the past
two months. and still more diff
cult to see how she can do it in
the future.
Marking the Balkan economic
routes severed at the Ottawa I'M
perial Conference, when British
colonial agricultural products were
given the preference over South
eastern Europe, the British, in spite
of Prince Paul's close relations with
London, are having a hard time to
catch up again.

Magistrate Offers
To Pull Switch if
ICvek Is Convicted
Three Detectives Who
Captured Suspect
Are Promoted
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 8.-Georgs
Joseph Cvek, 23-year-old wanderer
whom Mayor La Guardia called a
hitch hiking ripper" sullenly heard
Magistrate Michael Ford offer yes
terday to pull the switch" if Cvek
were convicted of first-degree MUIR
der and sentenced to die for tbs
strangulation of Bronx housewife.
The magistrate gave vent to his
wrath when the impaSsive young
man appeared for arraignment on
a charge of suspicion of homicide in
the death a month ago of Mrs.
Catherine G. Pappas.
Magistrate Ford dismissed the
charge so that Cvek could be re-
arrested on a first-degree murder
indictment which had just been re-
turned. Then he turned on ths
prisoner, who District Attorney
Samuel J. Foley said had acknowl-
edged a career of rape and robbery
on a score of women in Eastern
cities. (After his arrest in New
York Monday, Cvek said he had
choked and robbed Mrs. Ruth
Franco of Washington at her
apartment here February I'D
We'll, Mr.. Cvek," the magistrate
said, you've started on your way.
and after District Attorney Sam
Foley gets through with you and
the law takes its course and you are
transferred up the river to Sing
Sing tell the warden that
if he is short-handed and needs
somebody to pull the switch, send
for me and I'll gladly do it."
The Mayors attack on the vaga-
| bond came when three detectives.
who captured CVek in midtown
hotel, were promoted at ceremonies
citing them for their detection.
Inside the crowded magistrates
courtroom, Cvek was confronted by
several women who sought to iden-
tify him as an intruder they had
prevented entering their apart
ments. Mr.. Foley said Cvek fire.
/ quently had used the ruse of enter
| ing apartments by representing
himself to be a friend of the hus-
band.
