Britain, through a statement read
in the House of Commons warned
France of the dangers involved IN
dispatch of German troops into
North Africa to bolster the AXIS
drive toward the Suez canal. The
warning said the Nazis were in
creasing the numbers OF the "armis-
tice commission" in French North
Africa and made it clear to the
Vichy government that Britain was
watching and ready to act.
The statement bolstered reports
the Germans might move through
Spain to close Gibraltar Straits
and transport reinforcements across
North Africa.
The position of the United States,
especially in extending naval pa
trolls far out into the Atlantic, also
came into the picture in bolder
relief when Nazis reiterated that
any ships regardless Of flag would
be torpedoed if they ventured into
the war zones declared by the Axis
powers.

casian race. She learned later, her
suit charged, that he was already
married and not a caucasian. 1t was
while she contemplated bringing
legal action against her one-tine
fiarcee that the defendants hac
her committed to Norwalk, sh

WASHINGTON, June 6-(R
Millions Of Americans, rich
and poor alike, today faced q
prospect of going short on both
oil and electricity because of the
war abroad and this country's
vigorous preparations for de-
tense.

that the great population Of the
eastern seaboard may be called

Gin time to produce the supplies
of aluminium and magnesium de-
manded by the growing aircraft
and lend-lease program"
Ickes accordingly renewed his
advocacy of daylight saving time
for the whole country, as an
emergency measure to conserve
electric power.
Meanwhile, Congress took
cognixance Of the threatened oil
famine. The house yesterday
hurriedly passed q bill, request
ed by President Roosevelt, to IA
cilitate construction of pipelines
that would run oil to the east
from Texas and Louisiana, and
probably from Illinois and other
sources.
