Defense Increases Auto
Problem, Says Police Chiei
BY the kssor1 ated Press

By the Associated Press.
BUFFALO. N. Y. Aug. 20.-The
automobile is becoming a problem
Of such magnitude that it almost
defies solution" Police Chief
Charles w. Dullea, San Francisco.
asserted today.
IN an ADDRESS before the 48th
annual conference of the Interna-
tional Association of Chiefs of Po-
lice. he said national defense was
causing "a tremendous increase in
the problem
The preservatio ton of the efficiency
of industry so vital to our national
defense depends upon our efforts
in the traffic control field,' Chief
Dullea declared.
1T is as necessary. To prevent
sabotage by the automobile accident
as any other subversive inroads on
industry"
There is neither time nor man
power to build new highways TO
handle the increased traffic. he said,
so we must plan now to make
better use of the existing facilities
and We must spot bottlenecks in
reginal movements and by an in
telligent, selective approach to the
problem plan for the immediate
relief of these emergencies"

Col. Bethlehem Says

Lists OF claSsifications and re-
classifications of selectees will be
posted by local draft boards as soon
as the lists can be completed and
approved at meetings OF the indi-
vidual boards. officials of the Dis
trict Selective Service headquarters
said today.
In most cases the posting should
begin within few days, it was ex-
planned, and additional lists are to
be posted as they are ready, in ac-
cordance with publicity provision
included in the service extension bill
signed by President Roosevelt Mon
day.
There has been some misunder-
standing about this new procedure. u
1t. Col. Edwin S. Bethlehem, execu-
tive officer for District headquarters,
said. Some persons thought the
lists would be up the morning after
the new provision went into effect.
But this was a physical impossi-
bility, because of the time required
for preparation of some of the lists.
Then, too. the boards must meet to
approve the lists"
Col Bethlehem said there ap-
peared TO be misunderstanding
also about the availability OF records
Of the local boards. Paragraph 166
OF the selective service regulations.
he pointed out, states that records
other than confidential files. etc.
shall be available for public in
formation. provided inquiries do not
interfere with the dispatch Of busi-
ness"
Persons having any reasonable
grounds for seeing the records can
do so. Col. Bethlehem said. But it's
best for information seekers to visit
the board headquarters in person so
that Identification can be estab-
lished.
All facts are open. he continued
except those pertaining to the regis

tions that have existed for $50 years

When I first came TO the United

INV country was accused of having
given up the fleet and colonial en-
pire to Germany-or with planning
to do so.
Now nearly year has passed

it seems we are still accused of
intending to do those things tomor-

There is not single word in
Petsin's declaration which justi-
fies any such apprehensions.7
The Ambassador added that it
was quite possible he would soon

A special board of inquiry went
into its second day session into the
cause of the 81 500. 900 blaze as police
dissipated a possibility that sabotage
might have been at the bottom OF
the tragedy and destruction.
Three bomb-like cylinders were

Subsequent investigation by the
police bomb squad showed that
three cylinders, Is inches long and
4 inches in diameter, were found on

After police had soaked the cylin-
ders in oil, they opened one and
found that it contained a substance
resembling mercury.
Later. the investigators found
more than 100 duplicate cylinders
aboard the vessel and announced ii

part of the ships cargo, or normal

Ship officials explained later that
the Panuco loaded a number of
empty iron cylinders used for
carrying ammonia when the vessel
called at Progreso, Mexico. The
ship also carried small amount of
mercury in metal containers.
A fire boat continued to spray
water into the burned hulk of the

In addition to expanding the list
