FIGHTING FRENCH:
Il Nod From, MOscow

Soviet Russia became the first of
the United Nations to recognize the
Fighting French" movement as
"the only body entitled to organize
participation Of French citizens in
the war;" when it was announced
from Moscow that Gen. Charles de
Gaulle had been accepted as the sole
representative of this group.
Thus the Vichy government of
Pierre Laval and Marshal Henri
Petain received it's first official dip
lomatic slap in the face. 1t had
been almost year to the week be-
fore De Gaulle received the recogni-
ton he had been seeking from the
United Nations. For late in Sep
TENDER last year he organized the
Fighting French as a political ad-
ministration as well as fighting
force and through frequent appeals
has sought to replace the Vichy gov
eminent as the official agent of the
French people.
This recognition by the Soviet
came just two days after Fighting
French air unit arrived in Russia to
fight on the eastern front against the
Germans. Known as the Normandy
squadron, this unit is being made a
part of the Soviet air force.

FUEL OIL RATIONS:
Cut to Tw0-Thirds

Oil-heated homes in 80 eastern and
middle western states will have to
get along with two-thirds of their nor
NAL fuel supply under new ruling
by the Office of Price Administra-
ton.
'"The coupon rationing plan,"
said Paul M. O'Leary, OPA deputy
administrator, sis going to be geared
to an estimated overall average of
1878 per cent of normal consump-
ton. We found that the Is per cent
cut, originally planned, would not be
sufficient to provide an adequate
margin Of safety and still meet the
fuel shortage"
O'Leary warned that householders
who cannot heat their homes COM
fortably on two-thirds Of the fuel nor
mally used, should convert to coal
if possible.
If furnaces cannot be +converted
from oil to other fuels, he said,
''then everything that is possible
must be done to improve the burner
efficiency and to insulate the home
properly"
He pointed out that the household
er who improved the thermal eff
ficiency of his home through insula-
ton and by installing storm doors
and windows, weather stripping and
by overhauling his heating unit
would be rewarded by added COM
fort.
The OPA warned consumers to fill
their tanks before rationing begins.
