WASHINGTON = To get the proper perspective on Representa- tive Ham Fish and his hiding be- hind the skirts of congressional inn munity, it is necessary to know something about his background and recent activities.
 Hamilton Fish comes from an old aristocratic New York family which can trace it's ancestry back as far as that of his Hudson Val ley neighbor's, Franklin D. Roo- sevelt. Fish's grandfather was Sec retary of State in the Grant ad- ministration and in general his family has not been the kind to hide behind the skirts of anyone. Fish, however, has assumed a thin skinned attitude of late When- ever anyone practiced the right of comment regarding his multitu- dinous and interesting activities.
 Last year when these columnists exposed the fact that MT. Fish rented his New York mansion, in hcrited from his father, to tn e Nazi Consul General, the Con- gressman exercised his congression- al privilege of castigating the au- thors on the floor of the House, where he is immune from prosecu- tion.
 More recently, the congressman proclaimed to the world that he would be delighted to appear be- fore the grand jury investiga ting Nazi propaganda which discovered that Fish's franked mail was being used by a Nazi- financed commit tee. But later, when the grand jury issued the invitation, MT. Fish did not accept. And when finally the iury issued a subpoena, he rushed to his colleagues with the cry of congressional immunity.
 Congress is like big club. The Senate is now engaged in looking into the affairs of Senator Langer

VICHY, Nov. 19-General Maxim Weygand, who commanded France'S last wartime at arms, walked along the banks of the Allier River al dusk today, slowly and alone, after a conference with Marshal Petain which may determine Frances fate and perhaps his own.
 Even as he walked with hands clasped behind his back, accom- panied by not even his faithful aide, Major Gasser, rumors spread in Vichy that he would step down from his post as Petain's proconsul in Africa.
 This rumor was followed swiftly by another that after the three days of conference the aged mar shal Weygand had already re- signed, but reconsidered and might accept compromise

Oil Industry Seeks
New Ways 10 Send
Needed Fuel East
Production Adequate,
But Tunker Diversion
Muy Bring Shortage
By the Associated Press.

TULSA, Okla, June THE oil
industry, long on production, but
facing transportation shortage
to the Atlantic Seaboard, sought
new ways today to funnel fuel into
the EaSt's motor cars and machines
The possibility of a shortage of
petroleum and refined products in
Eastern States became apparent
after the Government requiSitiOned
so tankers for British service. The
tankers had been carrying oil from
Gulf ports to the Atlantic Seaboard.
Secretary Ickes, defense petroleum
eo-ordinator, has warned that vol
untary curtailment of the use of
Eastern automobiles for pleasure
NAV be asked within a month to
conserve fuel supplies.
The so tankers represented
roughly 20 per cent of the fleet of
$50 in coastWise service. The Oil
and Gas Journal likened the requi-
sitioning to the dismantling of 20
medium sized refneries or the
abandonment of $4,000 oil wells.
9S Per Cent Carried by Water.
About SO per cent of the Atlantic
seaboard's supply of oil and refined
products arrived by Water-approX-
imately 400 900 barrels daily of crude
oil and 800 900 barrels daily of gas
oline and other refined products.
Loss of the so tankers in the
roastwise trade will mean a reduc-
ton of 225,000 to 250000 barrels
daily in the flow.
Oil executives here. while refusing
10 permit use of their names, gen.
orally believed that the fuel sit
uation in the East might become
critical. The president of one COM
pany, however, said he believed no
one will have to go without gasoline.
''If it wasn't for hysteria and the
psychology of war he asserted. ut
would be possible to settle down to
real business and solve the situa-
ton, providing no more tankers are
requisitioned."
Wider Use of Barges Urged.
He suggested a wider use of bargeS
on the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers
to send oil into the East by inland
routes and the lowering of octane
rating of gasoline to stretch it
farther"
Until new pipe lines and tankers
become available. the industry must
rely heavily on tank cars and barges.
Increasing the flow of existing pipe
lines moving eastward from Okla
homa, Texas and Kansas was pos
sible Some lines carrying gasoline
westward from the Eastern refining
centers may be reversed and crude
oil sent eastward.
There are crude oil trunk lines
into the Chicago area, but they taper
off in Ohio. Ref1neries in the Chi
cago and Ohio areas might extend
their marketing through tank cars
and barges eastward to take up some
of the territory formerly covered by
seaboard refinerieS.
The industry has about $50 tank
ers on order in American shipyards.
Six have been delivered and 81 more
are expected this year.
Foreign Tankers May Aid.
There was the possibility that %
foreign tankers taken over in West
ern Hemisphere ports might be OBJ
tanned for coastwise service. and
that tankers won on the Pacific

Must Insure Delivery

He Declares at Chicago
B, the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 7.-Wendell l..
Willkie declared last night that
America with the strongest Navy
in the world and with an increas-
ingly strong air force" can insure
"the safe delivery of at least her
own production to England"
England cannot survive, he said,
unless losses of shipments to Britain
ARE stopped or greatly reduced
and at once"
The 1910 Republican presidential
nominee, whose address climaxes a
Unity Day celebration, spoke to a
crowd that filled all 22,500 seats in
the Chicago stadium.
Booing delayed his speech several
minutes. Six women, seized and
held in an Office while Willkie spoke,
were released later.
Says England Must Win.
Willkie said developments had
changed his conception of effective
aid to Britain. II said many times
before and during the tpresidentiaD
campaign that England must win
the war if our democracy is to sur
vive,' he related.
IF our production had been in
tensified at that time, the story
might be different today. Now. it
is painfully obvious that production
is not enough. -"
1T is now our job not only to
produce the goods necessary for her
survival but to deliver them by
whatever means will be most eff
cient."
mo Time to Spare"
In his plea for unity to direct men,
materials and skills ito the maxi
mum of their efficiency" Willkie as
serted I'VE have no time to spare"
He continued:
1T must be accomplished through
a co-ordinated centralized authority
under the direction of one man re-
Sponsible to the President, an
authority which deals not in politi-
cal theories and social obiectives,
but in single aim-the building of
our defense, and as the first step
toward it, the providing of Britain's
requirements"
Willkie did not mention Charles
A. Lindbergh by name, but de-
scribed as reckless and misguided
talk" statements that this country
needs new leader"
He said the charge from this
same source" that President Roose-
welt exceeds Hitler in his aggressive
designs upon other nations was "a
wholly outrageous Interpretation" of
the Presidents statement that the
United States would not let Hitler
seize island outposts from which he
could menace this Nation.
One of the first sea foods which
the Pilgram fathers found and en-
ioyed when they came to New Eng

Coast would be transferred to At

Two S70,OOO,O0O pipe lines from
Texas to New York. one for crude
oil and one for gasoline, each doing
the work of so to IS tankers, have
been proposed. But they would
require more than a year to con-
Struct.
Consumption of petroleum in the
East has been about 10 per cent
greater this year than last. Gaso-
line stocks in the East now are esti-
mated by the American Petroleum
Institute at 81 ,657 900 barrels, with
residual fuel-oil stocks at 8,012,000
barrels, and 9,060,000 barrels in gas
oil and diStillate stocks.
Such stocks constitute a 80 to As
