Proposal 10 Change
Oil Burners 10 Coal
Called Fantastic
Gritzon Says Shortage
In Mined Fuel Is Just
As Probable

Describing as fantastic a recent
suggestion by DR.. H. G. Dickinson
of the Bureau of Standards that
oil burners be converted to coal
furnaces in order to help meet the
threatened oil shortage Eere, L.
LIE Roy Gritzan. chairman OF the
oil heating division of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation, yesterday accused Mr..
Dickinson of adding to the many
distorted facts and miSunderStand-
ings responsible for broad-Spread
hvsteria and fears that lack truth
full evidence"
The proposal was advanced by
nr. Dickinson before a meeting OF
the Advisory Club of the Keystone
Automobile Club on Tuesday. In
making the suggestion he pointed
out that replacement Of an OIL
burner with a coal-burnlng one
would be equivalent to the ellmlna-
ton of one automobile IN the
amount of fuel saved.
I'm face of the fact declared MI
Gritzan, that there is at present a
possible shortage of coal more than
comparable to the implied oil short
ace. it is foolish to weigh the ultl-
mate availability of one fuel against
another.
DIR. Dickinson displays a lack OF
fundamental knowledge OF the queS-
ton of converting heating systems
from one fuel to another. We would
do better justice to public intell-
eence if he were TO suggest that
the owners of oil heating plants
have them carefully checked by re-
liable concerns"

Tunkers on Order Held
Solution of Oil Problem

to relieve the gasoline tranSporta-

because of the battle of the At

conference yesterday.
Cites High Consumption.
DR.. Frey pointed out that the
Northern Atlantic States were the
largest consumers of oil in the coun-
try and yet produced virtually none.
This region, he explained, brought
In 83 per cent of its oil from the
Gulf and the rest from foreign
sources.
Pipe lines have been proposed
and probably will be built" he said,
He added that the 72 tankers
would be built in the next l8 months
If physically possible, as he thought
it was.
The whole oil problem in the
United States at the moment, DR..
Frey said, is to supply all domestic
needs and at the same time make
sufficient fuel and ships available to
Britain to fight the battle of the
Atlantic.
The United States, he pointed out
has the greatest supply of oil in
the world, with the possible excep-
ton of Russia, of whose oil re-
sources information is too meager
to estimate accurately.
Rail tanliers may be used to some
extent to relieve the transportation
shortage, he said,

the Roadside, which tonight en-
barks upon the final week of its
season, the second, week of "Davy

Many Of the Roadsiders will be
away from Washington until next
summer rolls around. Randall
Henderson, jr., Is back at Bard COL
lege to continue his major in drama,
to be production manager for all
shows this winter. Margie Gibson,
Roadside property mistress, will
return to Carnegie Tech, where she
will be an actress instead OF q
property mistress. And the address
of Thomas w. Miller, jr., designers
assistant, will be the College OF
William and Mary.
At the moment the Washington
Civic Theater and George Wash
ington University's Cue and Curtain
Club are claiming an equal number
of Roadsiders. Henry C. Pearson,
Roadside's designer-technician, has
decided not to return to Charles
tons Dock Street Theater and has

Wilson and Kenn Romney for help
on the latter chore.

Laurence Olivier who is many

too ancient actually to tackle the

Aherne suffers with severe sinus
trouble.
Vivien Leigh has given her serv-
ices as an entertainer for the armed
forces, but is now appearing in a
series of Shaw plays on the stage,
and the salary she receives is not
big enough for liberal donations to
relief funds.
Between them, Brian and Joan
have raised at least 000-prob-
ably much more-by appearing all
over this country on behalf of Brit
ain.. (They are soon off on another
flying trip to Chicago, Pittsburgh
and st. Louis) They have also paid
for three ambulances and sent them
to Britain. And have adopted two
war refugees.
So it really comes down to this.
Both couples are doing the best
they can in their own particular
way. But because the Oliviers went
back to England they are happier
than the Ahernes. They are more
relaxed and sure of themselves.
You would know what l mean II
you had heard Brian say-"What
is it like. in England? What are
they doing? Before this war is over
I'd like to go back and see for my
self what is happening"
The last time I had occasion to
write about Mr.. and Mrs. Aherne,
Joan had made solo trip to Tahiti
which gave substance to the rumors
at the time that all was not well
with the marriage. But the guessing
was apparently wrong. Because they
seem happy enough now.

she tells me-. But I'm not going
to talk lot of mush on the SUBJ

ones column that we are expect

come true"
Joan's insistence on the present
vacation with her :husband-after
completing Suspicion" her film
with Cary Grant-cost her some
stage roles with Boss David Selz-
nick-"and so far I've only made
one picture a year instead of three"
Bad health is partly responsible
for the latter.
"Since my operation two years
ago I've not been at all WELL" she
tells me during intervals of buying
dozens of scarves at a Madison
avenue store. mo one knew until
a week ago what was wrong with
me. The doctors all wanted me to

didn't know why. Naturally Mr.

Counselor Arraigned
 For Passing Light
Given Warning With Discharge; Claims It Would Have
 Been Suicide to Have Obeyed Officers Signal

William Stevenson, 18, counselor at the Mataucha camp sponsored by the Y M. c. A. and who said his address is 69 West 104th street, New York City, was granted a dis charge in municipal court today on 8 charge of passing @ red light yes- terday afternoon in the West End of the city.
 Stevenson, who told the court he is a student in his second year at the Columbia University, testified that he has been employed as a counselor at the Y. M. 0. A. sum- mer camp for the past two years.
 Before entering discharge in the case, Judge John L. Gaffney warned the acused that although the streets are small in comparison to New York City they nevertheless are busy intersections in this city with constant flow of trafflc. He said that when Traffic Officer Jo- seph Collins ordered him to stop, he should immediately have obeyed the officer instead of continuing on. The judge informed the accused that his action threw the line back of him in confusion.
 Stevenson claimed that he enter ed the intersection with the green light in his favor, and justifying his disregard for the officers signal to stop, the accused said 1t would have been suicide to stop in the middle of the street." with the trafic com- ing from all directions. He said that he continued beyond the section so as to be out of the danger of the How of trafhc.
 The camp counselor pointed out that he was one third of the way across the intersection when Officer Collins signalled him to stop.
 Stevenson said that he was bring ing two youngsters in his car to a doctor. One of the boys he was talk ing to a dentist and the other to a medical doctor for attention.
 John Adamaitis, 4S, of Davis street, Oakville, was granted a nolle on a charge of reckless driving. He was involved in & slight accident yesterday.
 Newton Leas, 25, of 84l Baldwin street, was given a continuance to August 2 on charge of reckless driving. Prosecuting Attorney Fred erick w.

 Motor Patrolman John Deeley said the truck struck the guard rails on Thomaston avenue, near the Chase Metal Works. The officer said Leas attempted to pass an- other car and as a result lost con- trol of the truck which shot of the road into the state highway fence.
 The truck was a wreck and had to be lowed away after three posts were removed.
 Albert P. Favale, 19, of 207 Mer- line avenue, paid $20 for a nolle on charge of overlooking and was given an outright nolle on operat- ing truck with defective brakes. Prosecuting Attorney Palambo said that he learned that the defective brakes were due to slight defect in the mechanism of the car and that 1t needed only slight adjust ment.
 Nicolina Calo, 49, of 39 Coe street was granted a nolle on a charge of keeping wine with intent to sell She was arrested in June II, and the continuance was granted when the accused said she would dispose of her business.

 Police Investigation
lS-Year.Old Youth Faces Charges of Theft of CaE
 Wallet; POIiceman's Bullet Strikes Door of Auto

Patrick Bruno, IS, of 24 Savings street, and two 15-year-old juvenile boys, were granted . continuance in municipal court today by Judge John L. Gaffney. Bruno is charged with theft of Q car and 2 wallet, while the two boys were presented on charges of incorrigibility.
 Motor Patrolman Matthew Guari- nj said this morning that he was parked on North Main street at East Farm street last night when he noticed the markers on the stol- en car owned by Charles s. Hickox of Stratford turn into East Farm street. Oflcer Guarini said that he was not able to pursue the fleeing car as the trafnc was heavy but said he decided to cut it oil. He drove his car down North Main street and came up Vine and to Orange streets. While driving north on Orange street, he spotted the car at Orange and Locust streets.
 The car attempted to speed away, the officer said, and he crowded 1t to the curb and stepped out. The car continued on and headed for him as he stood in the street, the officer stated. He fired his gun, in an attempt to stop the driver by fright ening him. The bullet hit the bottom of the door near the running board.
 The shot Heightened the 15-year- old driver and he immediately brought his car to a stop.
 The two minors testified that they went swimming in the Old Basin pond in Prospect of Hamilton ave- nue, and while they were return ing to their parked car, they no- ticed another car parked in front of theirs.
 The boys said that with Bruno they saw the wallet in the car and that Bruno remarked that he could use 1t. The boys said that Bruno wanted the wallet for himself, and that he urged them to take 1t while he would drive around and pick them up after they had snatched the purse. While one of the boys acted as lookout, the other on the prompting of Bruno took the wallet from the car
 As he was walking down the road with his companion to be picked ur by Bruno who had circled the area he took out the drivers license an6 pocketed 1t for himself. When Bruno picked up the pair, the wallet wal turned over to him, who proceeded to ransack the purse, destroying pictures and the social security care which was in the pocketbook.
 The juvenile boys testified tha' they only found four cents in thu purse after William Phelan of 6t Marlboro street, owner of the purs' told the court that he had abou
