Oil Industry Will
Double Capacity

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 CUP)-
The oil industry is planning to dou-
BILE its refining capacity for 100
Cctane aviation gasoline to assure
sufficient stocks for nations resist
ing aggression as we'll as for do
mestic needs, the defense petroleum
coordinator's office disclosed today.
Coordinator Harold l.. Ickes re-
Gently predicted a shortage of high
Octane fuel unless present refining
capacity were expanded immediate
ly.
He said today that preliminary
surveys and other studies are under
way now to determine the probable
initial requirements for cracking
and other machinery. The industry,
he said, is taking the initiative
in the effort.
This country" he added, can
not go on building and operating
planes to the number of thousands
and at the same time supply the
British, Russians, and I hope, even
tually the Chinese, without increas
ing refining capacity considerably.
The availability of adequate sup
plies of oil and gasoline will de-
termine the conflict now raging
abroad, so that the matter of multi
plying capacity is one OF immedi-
ate necessity

fere with American British war
shipments to Russia.
The outstanding impression in
London that the United States was
largely responsible for guarding the
democratic fate in the Pacific was
strengthened as a result of the
eight point peace aims declarations
and the impending conference in
Moscow.
Similar staff talks" between
leaders of the British and American
armed forces, such as occurred dur
ing the Roosevelt Churchill meet
ing, were viewed in London as re-
viving what was tantamount to
the allied supreme war council OF
the World war.
That the joint action might ex-
tend to new fields was indicated
by Stimson, who warned that there
were new signs of Nazi plans for
action in west Africa-especially at
Dakar-arnd in South America.

Border

SHANGHAI. Aug. 6 CUP)
Japanese authorities announced to-
day that in the future the Man.
chukuo borders would be closed to
foreigners and that all residents of
Manchukuo now in north China
must return home before Monday.
Well informed quarters said Man
chukuos railroads were being de-
voted to troop and military supply
transport accounting for the
drastic orders.
Foreigners in Manchukuo were
ordered to leave before Monday
and were warned that failure to do
so might leave them without trans
portation.
The orders and warnings We're
considered significant in view of
persistent reports that Japan was
tremendously strengthening her
military establishment on the Man
chukuo-Siberian borders 1t was re-
called also that official Japanese
quarters have admitted continued
clashes between Russian and Jap
anese troops at several points on
the frontier.
Following receipt of dispatches
from Peiping asserting that after
Monday the Japanese would ban
all foreign travel across the Man
chukuo border observers here ex-
pressed belief that Japanese mill
tary moves in Manchukuo were on
an even greater scale than hitherto
reported
Trustworthy sources here under
stood that the Japanese would take
over all railroads in Manchukuo
Monday in order to move supplies
for their 100000 troops now in the
country and to permit further troop
movements from Japan.
Informants said that the Japa-
nese had met considerable diff
Guilty in transporting troops and
supplies due to railroad breakdowns

to send in rolling stock from Japan

Stimson Says Nazi
Menace Increases

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16. tUP)-
Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson
told the army last night that the
most dangerous avenue of attack
against the United States is Central
and South America where he claim
ed German and japanese secret
agents "have been very active"
He said in a radio speech that
Germany already is pushing into
North Africa and added that I'VE
have reason to believe that major
advance will be made by her into
that continent"
"At Dakar. which is held by Vichy
forces, now friendly with Germany,
the great western bulge of the Afri-
can coast narrows the south Allan
tic coast until the distance from
Dakar to the easternmost point
of Brazil can be easily traversed
by air or sea-" he said.

Stain
Calls
PorIey

LONDON. Aug. l6 (UP) - Pre-
mier Josef Stain will soon summon
a Russian British United States
conference in Moscow to discuss
long term plans to prosecute the
war against Germany, and political
quarters believed today that an ap-
Proclamation of the supreme allied
war council of the last war may
result from it.
The American and British ambas-
sadors in Moscow handed Stain
the letter from President Roosevelt
and Prime Minister Winston Churc-
hill suggesting a conference and
standing beside foreign Commissar
Viaeheslav Molotov, Stain asked
them to convey his thanks for it.
It was believed here that either
Lord Beaverbrook, supply minister
who is now in Washington, or For
eign Secretary Anthony Eden might
represent Britain in the Moscow
conference and political commerf
tators suggested that the conference
was of such Importance that Presi-
dent Roosevelt might delegate Sec
retary of War Henry L. StimSon
or Secretary of Navy Frank Knox
as his chief envoy.
So urgent was the necessity for
immediate action that it was be-
lieved Stain was already making
arrangements to call the conference
on war cooperation.
Coordination in all fields-pro-
duction, shipping, supply, military
strategy and political policy-was
expected to result.
Britons hailed the letter as the
first great Anglo-American joint
blow at Germany after the confer
ence between the President and
Churchill
They expected that conference to
result in early staff talks between
British and American army, air
force and navy representatives.

RANGER HAS TROUBLE
WITH PARK WILDLIFE

Park Ranger Ariel Edmiston,
stationed atop Logan Pass on
the continental divide at an ell
ovation of 1854 feet, in Glacier
National park, is still having his
troubles with the wildlife in
that region of which he is the
guardian during the summer
months.
First porcupines chewed up
the upholstery on his automo-
bile and then the Whistling
marmotS kept Edmiston and his
family awake nights, but now he
has other troubles.
Mrs. Edmiston looked out the
window of their house trailer,
which serves as a temporary
ranger station, the other day to
see three deer calmly chewing
on the diapers she had just
hung out to dry. She made a
dash to save the baby's apparel,
but the deer, too, made a dash
still chewing diapers-and one
large buck hooked the clothes
line with his velvet antlerS,
dragging line and all as he sped
out across the alpin meadow
with his band.
There is no place on Logan
Pass to obtain baby clothes and
Ranger Edmiston sent in a rush
call to the park warehouse
where employees did not know
what to do with the order. The
supply for Edmiston was replen-
iShed from KaliSpell.
