WASHINGTON. Dec. 30 GNS).
Economic Sterilization Director
James r. Byrnes said today he
saw no hope of being able 10 in
crease the supply Of fuel oil AND
gasoline TO the eastern seaboarc
shortage area.
Byrnes said he was convinced
that the shortage in the eastern
states was a direct result of the
increased military need for
petroleum and products. He fore
cast that our military needs will
more likely increase than de-
crease"
ByrneS told OF an experimental
petroleum container TO be made

Wayne Pushes
Medical Center
DAVID LEE, II

Plans for constructing $780,
900 900 medical center, as part OF
Wayne University, were revived
today as the board Of education
INSTRUCTED School Supt. Warren F.
Bow TO seek finances for the
project.
The board told Bow to appoint
"A committee TO make plans and
arrange finances for the center
for which architects plans have
been drawn. The center would be
located at East jefferson and
Burns avenues on the 33-acre Me-
mortal Park and adjoining land.
The city has already agreed TO
lease the site. and $1,000 900 has
been pledged for purchasing addi-
.tional land. Anticipated release Of
critical materials may make con-
.struction possible before the end
OF the war. officials said.

Roundhouse Fire
Loss Lessened

While no cause had been found
today for the four-alarm blaze
which swept the roundhouse OF
the New York Central Railroad
damaging the building and II
locomotives, investigating bodies
still had not given up the pos
sibility it may have been sabotage
At the same time, estimates OIL
the damage were scaled dowT
from an early report of possibly
100000" to an $4,000 figure
by Jesse V. Mckee, vice president
of the railroad.
The higher earlier estimates
were based on the fact that the
locomotives looked more eX-
tensiYely damaged than they were
and that each one is worth $780,
600. The damage to the locomo-
tives was about $1,000 each.
Inspector George w. Smith OF
the arson squad said that so far in
the investigation his men had
turned up no evidence pointing to
sabotage. The FBI and army and
navy intelligence officers, were
conducting their separate investi-
cations.
While the IL locomotives were
temporarily taken out of service,
no delays in shipping resulted from
the fire, railroad officials pointed
out. Engines from outstate points
were brought in to fill the gaps.

Leaping Lenas Gone

Glad TO Convert Jaopies Into War Scrap
BY RAY HARRINGTON
Gone with gas rationing.

Gone with gas rationing.
Leaping Lenas which in past
summers have meant fun galore
for Detroit school boys and girls
are now in the jalopy fold-headed
for the bullet and gun factories.
Leading the patriotic way for

Lee, I7-year-old son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Emery II. Lee. 1898 Mont

DAyID'S STORY
The story of David's jalopy is
like that of thousands of school
boys and their treasured vehicles.
He bought the car last summer
for SIS and ran il until rationing
stopped ii last month.
Then David read in the Times
of the dire need of all old cars in
Detroit's war materials produc-
ton. So he made a quick deal with
Sam Kutnick. who heads Sans
Auto Parts Company, 1925 Grand
River, avenue. and the Lee jalopy
today was being cut up for the
steel furnaces.
With Kutnick when he went for
David's old car with his son-in-
law, Frank Wasser, the cutting
torch operator at Sans yard.
Wasser has been "torching" cars
for war production for several
weeks, but he is leaving for the
army January 5 so Kutnick is
looking for another torch operator.
SPEEDS JALoPIES
I'm putting every old car I
get into the steel mills as fast
as can" Kutnick said. "My
son-in-law Is going to war, and,
like the thousands Of other
young Detroiters who are enter
ing the services, he will need
arms and ammunition. The

they will have but one course left: Wolf
pack attacks on conveys. This is precisely
what the Navy wants. The U-boats will
have to come to them - instead of our
having to prowl the seas, hunting for the
marauders. Protected conveys are always
a peril to U-boats To date, the Navys
record is high; huge conveys have been
escorted across both oceans without the loss
of a transport.
All in all, the long-range outlook for
shipping has improved, but there il no
ground for complacency. For two or
three months, at least, United Nations

through the dark months Of spring and

Like the boatswain who'd been Navy

Iceland, he dashed for the aft-deck gun and
got there before the crew. The forward-gun

To man the vast merchant fleet now

had little effect. Thousands of young Amer

BY the time they get enough training to
