NEW YORK, Sept. 1e.-If Hitler
gets Stahngrad. he will have taken
only three of Russia's 20 important
industrial areas. And two of the
three rate as comparatively small.

the job looks even grimmer than the
road over which his troops have
come-the road which has taken IA
months.
The information comes from maps
and records of Russian War Relief,

Carter, q native of New England.
Has Taken One Major Area.
1t is true that 77,000 900 persons
lived in the areas Hitler has taken,
and that that number is more than
one-third the entire Russian popula-
ton. But Russian reports indicate
that 100000 of these, largely
working and fighting men, escaped
to swell the man-power still out of
Hitler's reach.
OF the 20 original industrial areas,
five are zoo miles or more in dia-
meter, and IS are compare lively

single city.
Hitler has taken only one major

date the War Production Board
banned installation of oil burners.
OPA said rations for large build
ings that cannot convert will be
established differently from those
Tor private homes. The heat loss
formula based on floor space will
not be applied. Instead the ration
will be a percentage Of last years
consumption, with adjustments
made to take in consideration de-

rationing, it was said, will be at
least as great as in private homes
estimated at Is per cent
Exceptions to this rule, it was ex-
planned, will be made for hospitals
where big cut might present Sc
rious health problems.
Building Owners Protest.
The order to convert or be de-
MED oil brought complaints from
Washington building owners that
they have been unable to obtain
conversion equipment. The owner
of large downtown building said
he had been unable to obtain a
WPB priority rating for the nee
essary equipment
1T looks like it will be at least
January before I can get the gadgets
and have them installed" he re-
marked
On this score, Mr.. OJeary said ::
The Government mas carefully
cleared the way for conversions and
arrangements have been made for
priorities on materials and the
manufacture of lugs, shaker bars,
CRATES and ashpit doors. In fact,
many of these things are now made,
waiting to be used"
Manpower Another Problem.
Another building owner pointed
out that a manpoWer problem was
involved in conversion of sizeable
buildings. More men will be need
ed to tend coal furnaces than oil
burners in large buildings, he said
Apartment houses which have had
limited janitor services need full
tim employees to take care of coal
furnaces.
You know what the labor prob
lem is now he added.
Meanwhile, the Census Bureau re-

ported that fuel oil rationing in the
District and 80 States will affect
more than 100000 homes. The
Federal Housing Administration
made survey last year which
showed that 13 per cent of the
single family homes were oil heated,
48 per cent by gas and 80 per cent
by coal. On the Eastern seaboard,
however, the distribution was 30 per
cent by oil, by gas and 62 per cent
by coal.
Census figures as of 1910 showed
that % per cent of the homes in
the District. or 38,998, were oil
heated. This percentage and num-
ber are larger now. At that time,
Maryland had 108,688 oil-heated
homes and Virginia 1850.

Seven More Germans
Are Put 10 Death on
Treason Charges
Morse Putriot Resistance
Reported Threatening
QuisIine's Regime
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, Sept. 19.-The exc
cutions of seven more Germans
who resisted Nazi tyranny and
of the man who signaled the
start of the recent general strike
in Luxembourg were reported
from the continent today, while
in Norway patriot resistance to
the Germans threatened the re-
gime of Maj. Vidkun Quisling,
the arch traitor.
The Norwegian government in
London said Quisling had abandoned
his plan for cooperative parlia-
ment which would have concluded
peace with Germany and modified
Norwegian youth to fight against
NorWay,s allies"
The immediate cause of Quislings
move, the government said, was mass
resignation from industrial trade
unions and professional organiza-
tions after Quisling had decreed on
September 10 that membership in
those bodies should become COM
pulsory.
Underground Press Aided Plan,
A government source said Nor
wegian patriots had heard of the
plan for the cooperative parliament
before the unionization decree was
issued. Leaders of 350,0OO trade
unionists circulated the resignation
idea through their underground
press.
Employers joined in the plan and
tens of thousands of designations
poured into the Offices of the Trade
Union Confederation and the Fed
Grafton of Norwegian Industries.
The source said reliable reports
showed that Reichscommissar Ter
bowen was aspiring ''to overthrow
Quisling and assume the rank of
a sort of viceroy" He added that
widespread dissatisfaction has been
caused among Quisling's followers
by conscription DEGREES which, it
has been estimated, would affect at
least half the men among the Nor
wegian Nazis.
The execution of the seven Ger
mans and of the Luxembourg pa
triot, Heinrich Adam, brought to
163 the number of deaths reported
in the last two days, including 116
in Paris.
Set Off Siren Blast.
Adam had set off the factory siren
blast which signaled the strike in
protest against the incorporation of
the country into the Reich.
The seven Germans, six of them
residents of Frankfurt, were put to
death on September II for high
treason and for preparing to commit
treason. The execution of IA other
Germans, one of them a woman,
was reported yesterday. They were
arrested in Karlsruhe for listening
to the foreign radio and attempting
to reorganize the Communist party.

Avoid Waste

One of the most important fea-
lures of a homemaker's job these
days is to make the best use OF
every bit OF food. Waste should be
avoided. This is patriotic duty
and 1t is one of the things which
will also help the homemaker to

spent for food.
In her file of favorite recipes
every homemaker should make a
special place for suggestions fo1
attractive ways OF serving leftover
meat and vegetables, says Inez S
Wilson, home economist, and she
contributes these to the list. They
are unusually tasty and are also
easy to prepare.

To serve meals irexpensively
and attractively in these times Of

ingenuity more than ever before.
Elaborate dishes necessarily take
a back seat.

to cut expenses is in desserts.

Circus Party
Keeps Children
Happy Indoors

For the mother OF active young
sters whom bad weather keeps too
much indoors, an fashioned
circus party often proves real
boon.
The children themselves can do
much of the preparation. Making
paper hats, assembling costumes
from the old-clothes closet and
working up "acts" will keep them
busy and happy for hours.
AS for refreshments, that's no
trick at all. Big red apples and
bowls of popcorn are completely
in the circus tradition.
And when small Threats are dry,
bottled soft drinks supply the per-
feet answer. They help maintain
the circus atmosphere and are easy
to serve.
You can add to the gayety Of the
occasion by supplying play money
and letting the older youngsters
"vend" the estables and drinkless
to the others.
Popular with children, bottled
carbonated beverages are just the
thing for any small-fry party.
These sparkling drinks contain SUI
gar that supplies, quick energy in
wholesome form. The carbonation
promotes good digestion, diet au-
thorities say, and tends to slim
