vice will consider th,t something
has been put over on them.
1t is expected the men who are
over % years old may be sent
home in view of the more recent
measure defering service of men
in this age group. 1t is also be-
lieved steps will be taken to in-
sure jobs to the men in camp af-
ter their service in the army Is
completed.
The opposition to the property
seizure bill has been considerably
lCssened by revislons in the meas
ure which limit seizures of prop
erty to property needed for the
manufacture of defense equip
ment and supplies. The measure,
in Its revised form, also puts
time limit on the power of the
President to control private prop
erty. 1t provides that the govern
nent pay a fair price for any
property it seizes and directs the
government to sell the property
back to the original owner oy
June 80, 1943.
Some congressman fear the fact
that administration spokesmen in
the senate opposed including
provision in the seizure measure
for specific prohibition against
the seizure of any newspaper or
radio station, interpreting the op-
position to such a prohibition as
intimating the administration
might consider such seizures. But
most congressman felt that such a
specific prohibition was unneces-
sary since it would take a far
fetched Interpretation of the meas
ure in its present form to make
the seizure of a radio station or
newspaper possible.
A new problem arose on the la
bor front when the G. /. o. unit
which called a strike at the Air
Associates plant at Bendix, N. j..
asked the President to seize the
plant until such time as the COM
pany decides to cooperate with ma
tional defense and to comply with
the laws of the United States"
The flare-up at the Bendix
plant came when the company dis
missed several union employees.
The company said the dismissals
were made because of decreased
production caused by a shortage
of aluminium. The union claimed
they resulted from C. l. o. vic
tory in a National Labor Relations
board election.
But the action of a union ask
ing the President to seize plant
Is the first of it's kind and is be-
ing followed with close interest
by both labor and employers.

FUEL coal
Our most popular and most used
fuel has always been cOal-mostly
bituminous coal. In recent years,
oil has replaced coal in many in
stances, such as in a lot of home
heating, but coal continues to be
the leading single source of fuel.
1t is estimated by the New York
Trust company, which recently
made a study of the consumption
of energy in the United States,
that of the total energy we con-
sumed in 1887, 45 per cent was de-
rived from bituminOus coal, 30.4
per cent from oil, 9.8 per cent
from natural gas, 9.3 per cent
from water power and Sc per
cent from anthracite coal.
1t is not believed probable that
oil will continue to replace the
use of coal during the next 10
years at the rate it has done it
in the past 10 years. The devel-
opment of the use of either will
be determined by ease of trans
portation, price and taxes, but in
general the use of oil will prob
ably be more or less limited to
transportation whereas coal will
continue to be the most popular
fuel in industry.
In home heating the present
problem of transporting oil to the
East, due to those so tankers
whilh we gave to England, is ex
pected to turn the trend back 10
coal, at least temporarily.
If we look far into the future
| the use of various fuels is quite
unpredictable. 1t may even not be
too far off when we will have
learned to get most of our need
ed energy from the sun.
RESOURCES unlimited
When we hear about the mill
lOuS VI DdIItlS VI Oli duu Diliiohs'
of tons of coal which this nation
consumes each year, most of us
wonder when the oil wells will be
pumped dry and when the last OF
our mountains of coal will finally
be shoveled into the nations coal
bins
But actually, there isn't much
to worry about for long time to
come, if ever.
According to the national 1e-
sources committee, our present
reserves of these fuels amount to
about 5000, 900 900, 900 tons of coal
and over $4,000, 100000 barrels OF
oil. In addition, there are plenty
of unexplored reserves which, II
necessary, would undoubtedly pro
duce additional fuel to fill all OF
our needs for many years.
1t is estimated that the average
demands for power in America

WASHINGTON

Washington, d. c. (NWNS) -
That period of sacrifice for all of
the people of the country, about
which countless speakers, includ-
ing President Roosevelt, have
warned on numerous occasions,
seems to be getting closer to reali-
ty. 1t probably will be felt first
in our use of automobiles, judging
by two moves made last week:
statement by the Office of Produc-
tion Management that production
Of automobiles may have to be
curbed by as much as 60 per cent;
a request by Secretary of Interior
Ickes that the use of gasoline be
curbed by one-third in 16 eastern
states.
Furthermore, the dangers of
price initiation are becoming acute.
Food prices have risen per cent
since February and Leon Hender-
son, head of the Office of Price
Administration and Civilian Sup
ply, warns they may climb much
higher on many types of products
unless price controls are enforced.
Mr.. Henderson also recommends
higher taxes and campaign to
sell more defense bonds as needed
to help prevent initiation. His tho
ory is that prices go up because
people have more money to spend
and if they reinvest that money IN
the government their demand for
luxury products will be decreased
That, he believes, will prevent
drastic price increases.
Debate over the measure to ex-
tend the period of service of the
million men being trained under
the selective service act, although
hotly debated, has had the bless
ing of the majority of congress
men ever since the President sent
message to congress and to the
people pointing out the necessity
for this extension. 1t is the gen.
eral feeling here that the one
year period provided in the act
was an unfortunate provision
which misled many selectees, but
that the present emergency makes
it necessary to take advantage Of
the clause in the act which pro-
vides for extension of service.
That clause reads:
Each man inducted shall
serve for a training and service
period of II consecutive months,
unless. sooner discharged, except
that whenever the congress has
declared the national interest is
imperiled, such i2-month period
may be extended by the President
to such time as may be necessary
in the interest of national de-
| fense"
Gen. George C. Marshall, chief
of staff of the army, has pointed
cut that with 40 to IS per cent of
most infantry divisions composed
of selectees, it would virtually
mean demobilizing the army to
send these men home at this
time.
Most congressman agree that 1t
would be ridiculous practically TO
disband the army at this time,
but a good many also have feel
ing of guilt over breaking their
contract with the selectees, who
believed they would be sent home
after years training. They
know that provisions in the law
make it possible to continue SER
vice because of the emergency,
but all the same they feel many
of the million young men in SER

other uses are all grouped togeth-
er, amount to 40 horse popwer per
hour for every hour of the year.
GAS future
Natural gas looks like one of
the best bets for the fuel of the
future. In the last few years it
Las become a major source of
fuel in certain sections. Because
of a plentiful supply and ease of
use it is expected to be given
more and more preference.
Natural gas is generally found
in the same sections as petroleum.
Within range of the gas fields 1:
has been found an economical as
we'll as the most simple fuel to
use for heating purposes. 1t seems
probable that pipe lines will even
tually be built so that natural gas
can be sent distances without
great expense and then natural
gas will be used in countless in
dustries and homes.
But no matter what fuels be-
come most popular, there are no
dangers of fuel shortage in this
country. Referring to the energy
resources of this country, H. c.
Dickinson of the bureau of stand
ards said:
solid, liquid and gaseous fuels
will almost certainly be available
from stored-up supplies for sever
al thousands of years at the pres.
ent rate of consumption"
OiI Russia
One of the chief reasons the
Germans went into Russia was TO
get oil. Russia is one of the lead
ing producers of oil and has vast
fields of it which have not been
tapped. But so far as production d,
of oil is concerned, the United
States has big lead over every
country ir the world.
In 1889, figures of the United
States bureau of mines show that
the United States produced 81 per
cent of total world production of
oil. Russia was second, but pro-
duced only 1913 per cent of the
total and Rumania, which is world
famous for it's rich oil fields, pro-
duced only II per cent. Venezu-
ella was third. producing 10 per
cent of the total.
These are production figures
and do not give a clear picture of
the capacity of the worlds oil
fields. But they do indicate the
comparative output possible with
the equipment which each country
used before the war broke out and
show that by any measure the
United States has big lead over
all.
Although there are 13 states in
the United States which produce
considerable oil, by far the great
est production is in Texas which,
in 1888, produced SO per cent of
our annual supply. Other states
which are known for their oil pro-
ducing capacity are California.
which produced IS per cent of the
supply; Oklahoma, 13 per cent;
Illinois, 8 per cent and Louisiana,
S per cent. The other states
which produced the remaining Is
per cent of our oil supply are:
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
West Virginia. Kentucky, Kansas.
