China.
The airplanes were valued at SAT-
OF, ,905, compared with a s27.506, ,424

Shipment of extra airplane en-
gines, however, declined from 1,102

Exports of engine parts and ac-

ton.
Other April aeronautic shipments

The decision. announced by Dr.

Most of his associations and ac-

AN investigation of his history has
convinced the Parole Board that
the crimes for which he was con-
victed were not by any means the
first of his career"

Republic $500, 900 Suit
AGAINST T.. |. 0. Dismissed
Nv the Associated Press.

by luc hsSOSlAbcu Eicsos
CLEVELAND, June 18.-Republic
Steel Corps antitrust suit asking
$7,500,000 damages from the c. I. o
and various leaders and affiliated
organizations as a result of the 1887
steel strike was dismissed in Federal
District Court today.
Upholding a C. l. o. plea for dis
missal, Judge Robert N. wilkins said
Republics allegations "do not con-
stitute cause of action" under the
antitrust laws in light of Supreme
Court ruling in the Apex hosiery
case.
The Apex decision concerned a
company's right to sue labor union
for damages under the Sherman
Act. Apex Hosiery Co. of Philadel-
phia, scene of seven-week sit-down
strike in 1887, won a District Court
verdict against a c. I. o. union for
about 100000 damages, but the
verdict was reversed by a Circuit
Court which in turn was upheld by
the Supreme Court.
Republic, which had argued that
a trial was necessary to determine
whether the Apex decvision was
applicable, gave no immediate indi-
cation whether it would appeal.

Ickes Orders Shift
Of Oil Tankers 10
East Coast Routes
Transfers Will Increase
Supplies by 2l0,000, 900
GoIIons Annually
By the Associated Press.


In his first positive action to put
more oil into the East. threatened
by a petroleum famine, Secretary of
the Interior Ickes announced today
a rearrangement of a ship tanker
service to increase the Atlantic Coast
supply by 21o,000,0O0 gallons an
nually.
After conferences with officials Of
the Sun Oil Co. and the Standard
Oil Co. of California. Mr.. Ickes, who
IS defense petroleum co-ordinator,
announced he had made recon-
mendations whereby three huge
tankers now engaged on routes be-
tween California and East Coast
ports would be switched to runs from
Gulf ports to the East Coast
The co-ordinator emphasized,
however, that this increase in the
East Coast supply did not greatly
lessen the dangers of a prospective
shortage in that populous area,
where, he has said, restrictions on
civilian use of automobiles appeared
inevitable"
Many More Steps Needed.
Many additional steps must be
taken" Mr.. Ickes said, IF serious
East Coast shortage is to be averted.
On the intercoastal route, the
co-ordinator said, the tankers in
volved carried approximately l68.-
100000 gallons of gasoline a year,
whereas in the Gulf to East Coast
trade their annual carrying capacity,
due to the shorter haul, would be
raised to approximately $4,000, 900
gallons annually.
Representatives of the petroleum
industry have estimated the equiva-
lent of 40 tankers we're needed TO
erase the anticipated Eastern oil
deficiency. The anticipated shortage
was caused by transfer of one-flfth
of Americas coastwise tanker fleet
to British service.
1t was estimated the shift of the
three tankers from the West Coast
to the Gulf East run would relieve
the expected shortage by at least 6
per cent.

tory today in smashing a British
counter-offensive after a violent
three-day battle in the desert

crushed by the "overpowering i'm
petus" of Axis counterattacks.

proximately 1000 British tanks in
two armored divisions were engaged
in the battle. About 200 tanks, it
was said, were put out of action.
British Middle East headquarters
acknowledged that British advance
forces-which had knitted as deep
as 40 miles into Libya-had with
drawn to forward positions" on the
Libyan front
This presumably meant that the
British had fallen back to their
original positions from which the
drive was launched.
The withdrawal was executed, the
British said, to avoid an encircllng
movement by German reinforce
ments rushed from the Tobruk area

Excellent photographs of the
scenes in the mid-Atlantic concerned
with the sinking of the American
merchant ship Robin Moor were
taken by the vessels survivors who
now are in Capetown, and will be
examined by this Government in
development of its case against Ger
many in protest of the sinking,
Acting Secretary of State Sumner
Welles said today at his press con-
ference.
The pictures will be sent to WASH
ington as soon as possible, Mr..
Welles said He would not say
whether the pictures included pho
tographs of the submarine which
torpedoed and sank the Robin Moor
300 miles off the Brazilian coast.
The United States is waiting on
the arrival of full information from
Capetown before presenting the ex-
pected stiff protest to Germany de-
manding apology and satisfaction
for the sinking.
Mr.. Welles said the State Depart
ment has yet to receive telegraphic
accounts of survivors stories from
American consular representatives
in Capetown.
Meanwhile, President Roosevelt
had left no doubt today that the
United States was ready, if neces-
sary. to arm her merchantmen to
meet the threat of submarine war
fare.
Whether such action would be
taken, informed sources said, prob
ably would depend to great de-
gree on the attitude Germany takes
when Berlin receives the State De-
partment's forthcoming protest
over the sinking of the Robin Moor.
Well = informed congressional
sources already we're perdicting that
arming of the ships would be neces-
sary, but President Roosevelt
avoided any comment on that pos
sibility.
The question of arraing the mer-
fCSSCl0 was ld1oCu de AVA
Roosevelt's press conference yester-
day. The President was asked
whether any thought had been
given to the subject after the tor
pedoing of the Robin Moor.
Plans Long Ready.
Mr.. Roosevelt replied that the
United States had plans ready for
arming her northumberland had
had them ready since 1918.
Have they come out of the safe
yet?" reporter inquired.
Mr.. Roosevelt said not at his re-
quest, and let it go at that.
Answering another query, he said
he did not know whether congress
slonal authority would be needed
