Asserting that there was grow
ing crisis" in acquisition of critical
defense materials, the Senate Mill
tary Affairs Committee formally re-
ported the defense property seizure
bill to the Senate yesterday with
the admonition that delay in meet
ing this situation may be fatal"
In its written report on the meas
ure, which is scheduled for Senate
consideration tomorrow. the COM
mittee called attention to enact
ment of conscription legislation 10
months ago, adding:
Since then, the danger to this
country has increased. rather than
diminished. The mobilization of
industry to equip our Army and
Navy cannot be left to a volunteer
system any more than the recruiting
of our man power
Proposals Defended.
The committee report, made by
Senator Chandler, Democrat, of
Kentucky, discussed and defended
provisions of the bill which would
permit the President to seize mill
tary and naval equipment. supplies.
munitions, machinery, tools and ma
terials necessary for defense of the
United States.
1t noted that before such action
was taken, the President must de-
termine that the need was pressing
and that other means could not be
found to reach the same objective.
The authority granted under the
measure would expire June sc,
1943.
Reciting a long list of similar
bills enacted during the World War,
the committee said:
To-day we can no longer afford
to withhold such power from the
Government until time of war.
Every power necessary to mobilize
industry for natural defense must
be available in time of emergency
before actual conflict.
Delay May Be Fatal"
Modern war has taught us that
to delay in preparation of defense
invites the attack of aggressor ma
tions. Only complete preparation
may avoid actual conflict. Delay
may be fatal"
The report substantiated reports
that the Army had been baked thus
far in obtaining the plans for new
secret weapon. 1t said that suitable
requisitioning power would have
eliminated some serious delays" in
getting needed products, in one case

ton.
The District of Columbia and l6
Atlantic seaboard States were asked
last night by Secretary of the In
terror Ickes to reduce their con-
sumption of gasoline one-third by
voluntary cooperation or face the
prospect of compulsory rationing.
Speaking in his capacity of de-
fense petroleum co-ordinator, Mr..
Ickes told governing authorities of
the Eastern territories that 1T has
become the patriotic duty Of every
one in the States affected by the
impending shortage of petroleum
products to reduce their consump-
ton of such products
He concluded with warning that
"the rationing of petroleum prod
uctS may become necessary unless
the consumption of motor fuel be
voluntarily reduced by 1913 per cent
in the Atlantic Coast area
Suggestions Offered.
In his communication, also ad-
dressed to oil companies and allied
concerns operating in the area af-
fected, Mr.. Ickes suggested that;
"A substantial part of the neces-
sary reduction can be achieved by
adoption of conservative methods
such as correcting faulty motors
driving at reasonable rates of speed
the use of but one automobile in
stead of several by those who drive
to and from work. when they live
and work in the same general areas
and the elimination of wastetu
practices generally"
In Washington, District officials
who have been studying the con.
servation problem predicted that eX-
tensive use of the 'skip-stop" sys-
TEN for streetcars and buses would
be adopted as the first official STEP
toward reducing the city's gasoline
consumption.
1t was pointed out that the Capital
Transit Co. already has applied to
the Public Utilities Commission for
permission to reduce by 25 per cent
the number of stops now made
regularly on the Hyattsville- College
Park and the Rhode Island avenue
bus lines.
Use on All Lines Studied.
1t was revealed, moreover, that
the transit company is now making
studies for similar arrangements
on all its lines in the District. Ar
official of the company said that a
skip-stop plan for virtually all lines
will be undertaken at the suggestion
of the District Petroleum Conserva-
ton Committee, headed by Mai
Beverly C.. Snow, Assistant Engineer
Commissioner.
Adoption of such plap-now used
on limited Scale-would also afford
speedier transportation to Streetcar
and bus riders and thus attract
many persons at present utilizing
their own automobiles.
Under the initial request made
by the transit company, the Hyatts-
ville-College Park line, now having
so stops inbound, would have only
At such stops. Outbound stops
would be cut from So to A. On the
Rhode Island line inbound stops
would be reduced from SO to 46, out
bound from 62 to AZ.
The average number of stops pei
mile on these lines at present is
about II or u, according to Maj
Snow. Under the suggested plan
this would be decreased to about
eight.
District officials forecast that the
new skip-stop arrangements would
be ordered" by the Commissioners
