Controversy Involved
 The controversy became very in volved. Railroads charged that It was an attempt by oil interests to Ret government backing for Q pipe line from the East Texas field to New Jersey, They claimed there were enough idle railroad tank cars to supply the east.
 Others claimed that these were ghost tank cars". The supplies priorities and locations board ti- Yally vetoed the pipe line plan by refusing to grant priorities for the necessary steel.
 Ickes said that lifting the ban on night gasoline sales would be up to individual station operators. k The "blackout" went into effect at . D, m. Aug. 13 in 17 states and the District of Columbia. Only a few operators refused to comply in the face of threats to shut of sup piles, but there has been much grumbling among motorists and dealers.
 The return of the 40 tankers to American service by the British, Ickes said, "has enabled us to reach the goal toward which the otiice of petroleum coordinator has been striving since this summer-the re- moval of gasoline restrictions which were necessarily invoked on the east coast"
 Major Improvement
 Their return, he continued, was made possible by major improve ment," in the general British situ- ation Drought about by the rapid application of the American tanker and petroleum program" But he said they might have to be reas- signed to the British If the battle of the Atlantic started going against them.
 Fifteen vessels, return of which previously was announced, are to be given back by the end of Oc- tober and an additional % by Nov. 30, All of the tankers have been used in Britain's shuttle service" carrying oil from gulf ports to the east coast for transhipment to Brit ain. Although the exact number of tnakers transferred to Britain has not been revealed 1t was said or good authority that they numbered between 30 and 100.

Continued from Page D


 (Twenty-two other survivors from the Lehigh have been landed at Freetown, British Eierre Leone, in- cluding Capt. Vincent P. Arkins of Montrose, N. Y. All aboard the steamer were rescued.)
 Members of the crew landed here were reluctant to discuss the sink. ing of the vessel or their own ex- periences and reactions. One said, however, that the sinking was part of our job, the same as for British Seamen."
 "When we have guns 1t will be better for us and not so good for Jerry," a survivor said. We are not worried. We knew we could navigate to Freetown. We already had rowed and sailed 40 miles when we heard engines at night. We fired signal and were picked up by the destroyer. We are happy now to have heard that the others are safe. Say, Roosevelt calls the Jer- ries pirates. We got 6 name for them too"

(Continued from Page D it was discovered. Mrs. Hultberg said the dogs had been barking for some time before her husband got up and saw the blaze. The rink Is 8 one-story structure located in Q sparsely-settled district and there Is usually Q strong wind there. Last night the wind was unusually heavy, It was reported blowing from the west to the east.
 Intense Heat
 Although there is Q pond within less than 20 feet of the building firemen were unable to use this for pumping purposes until the fire had swept through much of the building, because the pond is So close to the building that it would have the intense heat prevented the flremen from using the bumper on the side nearest the building Fire Marshal Michael F, Shea said
 The nearest hydrant was near the home of Howard H. Bristol on the Whittemore development, about i,5OO feet from the scene of the fire The pressure from this was com paratively weak but there was only one line that could be laid, 1t was said.
 Got Close Enough
 Later the firemen were able tc get close enough to the pond tc pump water but the blaze could moi have been checked then. Nearby wooded areas caught fire and these blazes also had to be ex' tinguished. MT. Shea said 1t wal fortunate that the section was noi more tAickly settled for other build ings might have caught fire from drifting sparks.
 Sparks Drift Large.sized sparks were drifting as far away as North Church street and one home owner on that street had a hose in readiness in case any set fire to his home.
 The building was valued at s. 900 and contents at $500, Fire Marshal Shea said, and there was S6,O00 insurance on the structure he said. Direct Fight
 Fire Chief John J. Sheridan, whc with Herbert Cockroft, foreman oi the volunteers, directed the fire fighters, said this morning that the building was two-third sgone when firemen arrived. He said he felt that the fire mahchineS might have been damaged by going over the rough land to get around the pond and did not feel this risk was war; ranted in view of the fact that the buildin gwas virtually gone then Ht also pointed out there is a small bridge on the west side of the ponC and he doubted that this bridge could have held the weight of the fire trucks.
 Prevented Spread
 Bremen concentratoc on prevent ing the spread. of the fire to ad- joining woods or houaes some dis tance away and were successful ir this, twice putting out fires in, the brush nearby.
 There was a good turnout of vol unteers and It was not until 6;4S that the last truck returned to the fire house.
 Cause Unknown
 The cause of the fire had not been determined this morning and probably won't ever be definitely known, 1t was learned from Fire Marshal Shea. There was a skSt' ing party there last night, but at' ter they left, one of the owners threw the switch, disconnecting tht lights, MT. ShSah said.
 There was an oil burner in the building but this had not beer started, MT. Shea was informed. The building was erected about three years ago.
