Gasoline ration cards may be re-
quired of the consuming public in
the East to meet the oil shortage
threatened by transportation diff
culties, Secretary Ickes. defense pc
troleum co-ordinator, said today.
Such a plan is under considera-
ton, Mr.. Ickes admitted in response
TO questions at a press conference.
He refused to discuss details of
possible rationing, or any other re-
strictive measure pending more COM
plete information on the exact sit
uation the East coast will face.
There are tentative plans to re-
strict the use of gasoline and ra-
tioning cards are one of the plans
under consideration, but 10 reveal
these tentative proposals in any de-
tail at this time would be too dis
turbing," he said. "Profiteers might
take advantage of the peoples fears,
which might be unjustified."
May Waive Ship Laws.
Meanwhile President Roosevelt
asked Congress to waive some ship
IIlSpCCDlUll laws III SAN'Se
to be aimed at increasing the legal
load of oil tankers and reducing
the number of experienced seamen
on merchant ships.
Secretary Ickes emphasized that
the threatened oil shortage was due
to lack of sufficient transportation
and not to lack of enough oil to
supply anticipated needs. This Sit
uation, largely affecting the East
ern States, was brought about by the
diversion of ocean tankers to the
British.
Mr.. Ickes said he did not think
that under present conditions any
oil should be shipped from any At
lantic port. but that oil for export
should be obtained from Gulf or
Pacific ports. He recently put an
embargo on such exports, without
prior Government approval OF each
cargo.
Will Examine CargOes.
He was asked if he included Brit
ain also, and replied that he meant
all cargoes should first be examined
by the Government. He empha-
sized. however, that Britain's supply
was coming directly from producing
areas and not from the Eastern
seaboard area.
Asked about the statement of AS
sociation of American Railroads Of

University of Wisconsin. In his let
ter of resignation to President
Roosevelt, the chairman explained
that the university has been urging
him to return to his duties there.
When he came to Washington, DR..
Dykstra pointed out, it was with an
understanding that he would have
opportunity to divide his time be-
tween duties here and those at the
university However, he said today,
his Jobs here have been virtually
full-time and he is desirous of get
ting back to his college work this
SuIllLllCI.
The White House said the resigna-
ton was accepted with the under
standing that DR.. DykStra would
continue available for service on
Mediation Board panels for consider
alton of specific defense labor dis
putes. He also will continue as an
advisory member of the joint Army
Navy Board.
Dr.. Dykstra resigned as selective

Robin Moor Engineer
First Back With Story
OF Torpedoing
Officer Describes U-Boot;
Says He's Ready to
Return to Sea
picture on Page Az
By BLAIR BOLLES.

Virgil Sanderlin, third engineer
of the torpedoed Robin Moor, said
here today that he was going back
to sea because he thought Uncle
Sam needs us sailors now more than
he ever did before
The man who spent 10 days in an
open lifeboat in the South Atlantic
with 10 companions before his res
cue. arrived by plane in Washington
at 5 am. today-the first Robin
Moor survivor to reach the Capital
He greeted his wife, whom he had
not seen since he left his home in
Richmond February IA of last year
and then told his story of the sink
ing to officials of the State and Navy
Departments.
At noon, the Sunburned sailor,
who first went to sea when he was
Is, held a press conference and
spoke for the movie neWsreels in
the Navy Department press room.
He wore white silk suit, bought for
him in Pernambuco, Brazil, by the
American consul there. All his pos
sessions went down with the Robin
Moor.
Sure Sub Was German.
Mr.. Sanderlin said he was sure
the submarine which sank the
Robin Moor with torpedo was
German because the officers spoke
with German accents and used
German words. The name of the
submarine was painted in German
lettering and the cans Of food given
to the survivors had German Ian
guage printing on the labels.
When the Robin Moor was Or
dered by blinking light to halt, the
captain thought he was about to be
ordered by an American or British
ship to change his course, so there
was no hesitancy in the Robin
Moors response, Mr.. Sanderlin said.
The signals were given in Eng
lish," Mr.. Sanderlin reported. He
himself had just gone off watch, had
bathed and had one foot in bed
when the order came from the
blinking light to send a boat to the
vessel giving the signal.
Mr.. Sanderlin was a passenger in
the boat which went from the Robin
Moor to the submarine.

In Food Insurance Plan
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The United States acted Yesterday
to insure adequate food supplies for
European-owned possessions in the
Western Hemisphere. including the
French Islands of Martinique and
Guadalupe.
At the request of President Roose-
welt, the Agriculture Department
announced plans to survey the food
situation in the Caribbean area and
mentioned especially the two French
islands.
British and Netherlands possess
sions in that section also will be
surveyed, the department said, and
the study may also include Cuba,
Puerto Rico and Central America.
In the case of the French islands,
the survey was considered meas
ure of assurance to residents that
they would continue to receive suf-
f1cient supplies from the United
States despite the strained relations
between Washington and the Vichy
government.

Fringe Parking Plan
Seen as Acceptable
To Navy Officials
Parks Use Threatened to
Focus Attention on
Problem, Spokesman Says
By NELSON Nj. SHEPARD.

Highway Director H. C. White
hurst's plan for establishing parking
lots and garages fringing the down.
town Government district was seized
on today by Navy Department Off
cials as offering a possible escape
from all-day parking conditions
that are growing worse each month
for Government employees.
A Navy spokesman said the White
hurst plan was worthy of serious
consideration" by responsible Fed
eral and District officials and ex-
presse dthe hope that something
would be done about it soon. He
ventured the opinion it might prove
an ideal substitute for the proposal
TO establish all-day parking lots in
Government park areas.
The matter would be brought to
the attention of Secretary Knox,
officials indicated, in view OF his
personal interest in seeking a solu-
ton of the parking problem.
Sees Navy's Purpose Served.
1t. Comdr. Hal O'Flaherty. U. S.
N. r., of the Public Relations
Office said the Navy's plan to use
the parks for its employees automo-
biles had at least served the pur-
pose of bringing this question out
into the open where public as we'll
as official consideration could be
given it.
That was, no doubt, the Navy's
original intention" he said.
There has been no renewal of
attempts to force the issue on the
National Capital Parks Office, so far
as could be learned today, and it
was believed the Navy. Department
would be satisfied with any accept
able plan that would serve as a
substitute for infringing on the city's
parks. Efforts will be made, it was
indicated, to direct the attention of
the District Commissioners to deal
swiftly and judiciously with the
parking problem.
The original suggestion of Mr.
Whitehurst for a scent round-trip
fare for parkers using shuttle buses
to and from the fringe parking lots
was declared by Comdr. O'Flaherty
to furnish the key" to the plan.
Any proposals for outlying park
ing lots such as described in the
report, he said, should include the
cheapest possible rates for trans
portation. He was entirely in SYM
pathy with Mr.. Whitehurst's idea
for the 10-cent parking charge and
a Scent short-haul fare. Without
consideration of very moderate
charges, he feared the whole plan
might fall through.
Office Work Threatened.
Comdr. OFlaherty, who is one
OF Secretary Knoxs right-hand
men, said it is already becoming a
social problem" and the delays en-
countered by inadequate transporta-
ton and parking facilities are
threatening to retard Office work on
the national defense program. Other
Navy officials said the daily record
of tardiness in the morning is in
creasing and blamed it on the traffic
situation.
Oficials at the District Building
said today the Whitehurst plan
which deals broadly with traffic and
highway conditions had been ZAP
proved" by the Board of Commis-
sioners. They had directed Corpo-
ration Counsel Richmond B. Keech
to draft enabling legislation for
submission to Congress. -
