CONTROL OF AVIATION
GAS is TAKEN BY u. ;.

Observation-Disclosures Co-or-
dinator Harold L. Ickes assumed
control Saturday night Of all the
nations aviation gasoline "as a
means of insuring prompt and
ADEQUATE filling of war time
needs"
His order centralizing control
of the high octane gas contained
a provision, approved by the JUS
tice Department, permitting oil
companies to engage in pooling
operations in order to expedite
the production-boosting program.
Such pooling, however, must have
Ickes' approval. In effect, this
proviso suspended antitrust law
barriers to pooling.
"In effect, the order means that
no aviation gasoline can be made
sold or shipped except with the
co-ordinator's approval, and that
antitrust laws will not stand IN
the way of whatever steps the CO.
ordinator finds necessary to make
ever-mounting supplies in the
swiftest possible manner" 1ckes'

New Petain Regime
Takes Steps 10 Ease
Food Problem
Measures Designed
To Correct System
Of Distribution

BY the Associated Press
VICHY, Unoccupied France, Aug.
14.-The reshuffled Petain regime
has tackled one of the sorest prob
lens confronting France-food sup
ply.
The newly reorganized govern
ment yesterday announced two
measures to be taken Immediately
in order to ease the situation:
/. Suppression of the system of
making each French department
county self-sufficient. In this
way one section of the country has
been holding its own excess supplies
even though neighboring depart
ments were suffering from a short
age.
2. New control of transportation
to make available means of trans
ferring excess food from one Sec
ton Of the country to another.
Marshal Petain was not using a
figure of speech; he was speaking
the literal truth when he referred
in his broadcast to the nation Tues
day night to workers deprived of
meat and wine and tobacco"
Meat Supplies Scarce.
There are sections of France where
even the rich have been unable to
find meat for weeks at a time. There
is a special restriction on wine even
at meals when it is permitted. Even
in good restaurants there is no win
ordinaire"
Tobacco is restricted to two
packages Of cigarettes weekly or the
equivalent in cigars or pipe to-
bacco.
This shortage has been partly
caused by and was partly the cause
Of the enormous Black Bourse which
has grown up. Other causes are
the distribution systems which yes
terday's new measures are aimed to
correct.
For example, there are restau-
rants In which it is an open secret
that meat is served at high prices
often as high as 100 francs or
roughly 81, a portion-without food
ration tickets. The swank Vichy
Hotel du Pare ct Majestic. which is
patronized by government officials
and diplomats, is only one Of many
which have been closed in recent
months for violating food regula-
tions.
Wine Prices Up.
A bottle of vintage wine which
formerly cost II francs now costs
around so francs tabout $3.50 if it
can be found. Ordinary wine, which
is almost impossible to find, has in
creased from 7 and 8 frans a bottle
to Is and 20.
Black Bourse cigarettes are double
and triple the ordinary price. De
Luxe Baltos, the nearest approach
to American cigarettes. are sold at
anywhere from 80 to IS francs (65
cents to SD although the ofiicial
price is only Is (35 cents.
These prices. for the average
Frenctman, are completely out Of
reach. ,s,,.ss,s,.. -,
AiiciC okV iitoaiy III tllC WlijbS OUi-
lar class who insist that day in and
day out they do not get enough to
eat for themselves and their fam
lies.
Plenty Of Vegetables.
The government has announced
that wheat and potato crops are
good and that there are plenty of
vegetables, but it indicated that the
meat shortage will get worse, partly
because Of requisitioning. Presum-
ably by the Germans)
Likewise, the fact that there are
plenty of summer vegetables does
not mean that there will be supplies
for the winter.
And since there is little meat, the
consumption of vegetables has
tripled and quadrupled, leaving
none to be canned even when tins
can be found.

Can a Married Woman
Ever Feel Certain?

Many married women take unnecessary
risks with their nerves, health, happiness.
Why? Generally because feminine hy-

can actually burn or scar delicate tissues.
Today such risks are needless. For science
