with possible request for recon-
sideration.
Milk deliveries also will be cur
tailed in Washington.
Consumers this month will begin
receiving their milk every other day
rather than daily, it was learned
today, as dairies began to take
steps to reduce truck mileage.
AS further conservation step, the
o. D. T. has banned night delivery
of milk, effective Friday.
The majority of dairies here
already have begun delivering milk
to householders only after am
each day. Under the new plan,
milkmen will be saved going over
routes twice in a day, once for
delivery and the second for COL
lections.
The o. D. T. order also clamps
down on special deliveries and call
backs" for other reasons. Any
dairy found making a second de-
livery in a day will be subject to fine.
One local dairy, Embassy Fairfax,
expects to start delivering milk on
alternate days this Friday. The
firm has been working on a daylight
delivery system for about a month.
A. B. Fletcher, manager of En-
bassy Fairfax, declared the daylight
delivery would have it's bright side.
Most of our callbacks are from
stolen milk. There should be less of
this, now that milk is delivered in
the daytime" he said.
The later milk delivery, however,
has met opposition from many Gus
toners, particularly in cases where
all members Of the family are en-
ployed and not at home during the
day to take in the milk.
Foreseeing increased store sales as
a result, local dairies are adding
to their wholesale milk delivery
service.

has increased by 26 per cent, laundry
machinery has been frozen" under
priorities and labor has become so
scarce that it is practically impossi-
BILE for laundries to expand to meet
the demand caused by Washington's
soaring population.
He said it seemed that a good
deal OF common sense should be used
IN the case of Washington laundries,
particularly since it is a defense
center. Laundries, he added, have
willingly co-operated with the Gov
eminent and have received excel
lent cooperation from the public.
R. B. Crawford, chairman of the
Priorities Committee of the Ameri-
can Institute of Laundering Offices,
reported that some laundries al
ready have reduced their mileage
so per cent and that the additional
cut will mean a general reduction
throughout the country of more
than 40 per cent. He said letters
have been sent to the Nations
laundries asking them to report on
conservation steps already taken
and the manner in which they will
be affected by the June / order.
The reports will be compiled and
will be presented to the O. D. T.

Auto Seizure Bills
Arouse Formidable
Senate Opposition
Connolly. Byrd, Herring
Hit Measure Before
Military Committee
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOClateC Press
Formidable opposition appeared
to be developing in the Senate today
against legislative proposals which
would permit the Government to
seize privately owned automobiles.
One bill, introduced by Senator
Downey, Democrat. Of California.
would establish a $4,000, 900, 900 fund
which would be used to build up a
Government stockpile Of cars, tires
and parts by donation, purchase
or requisitioning.
Another proposal, by Senator Rey"
nolds, Democrat. of North Carolina,
would fix Nation wide 40-mile-an-
hour speed limit and authorize the
Government to commander all cars
found travelling at greater speed.
The owners would be paid for their
cars.
Gas Ration's Effect Cited.
Senator Connally, Democrat, OF
Texas indicated he opposed any such
drastic moves and declared the pub
lie reaction would be terrible" If
some cars were requisitioned and
others were not.
One Of the principal motives Of
the bills Is to conserve the Nations
rolling stockpile" of rubber tires.
Senator Bryd, Democrat, of Virginia
expressed belief that this aim could
be achieved by Government pur-
chase of the new automobiles now
in the hands of manufacturers and
dealers.
Others pointed out that many Of
the 10000, 900 automobile owners in
the East would be forced to save
their tires as a result of gasoline
rationing which starts Friday.
Senator Hill, Democrat, of Ala
bama said he believed that auto
seizure legislation should be passed
to bring home to the people the
seriousness of the rubber situation.
Herring Opposes Soaring Public.
Senator Herring, Democrat, Of
Iowa, who spent more than 20
years in the automobile business,
said:
IT know that if it becomes neces-
sary for the Government to take
over anything the people have, 1t
will be given up without complaint,
but it seems to me that at this
stage of the war the people shouldn't t
be frightened unnecessarily"
The Senate Military Affairs Conn
mittee tentatively plans to discuss
the two bills tomorrow. One of the
slated witnesses is Elliott E. Simp-
son, New York rubber dealer, who
has declared that huge supplies
of raw rubber could be obtained
from South America and great
deal more by reclaiming scrap rub
Der in the United States.

face of a serious fire, assisted in
moving his captain, who had been
mortally wounded, to a place of
greater safety, and later manned
and operated a machine-gun until
ordered to leave the bridge"
Miller, a resident of Waco, Tex,
enlisted as mess attendant third

Nozis Deny Using Gas;
HitIer's Pledge Recalled

BERLIN CFrom German Broad
cast Reported by the Associated
Press, May 1l-Berlin broadcasts,
commenting on Prime Minister
Churchill's Sunday speech, denied
today that German troops have used
poison gas. and recalled pledges by
Adolf Hitler that Germany would
refrain from using it.
(Mr. Churchill declared Britain
was prepared to retaliate If the
Germans dared use poison gas
first)
German newspapers carried no
mention of Mr.. Churchiu's speech.
The authoritative commentary
Dienst aus Deutschland, however,
said official assurances that Ger
many would not use poison gas hold
as good today as ever"
The manner and method with
which Churchill dealt with the
problem is, however, extremely sig
nigfcant," Dienst added. The mat
ter without doubt concerns pri-
marily competent military authori-
ties in Germany.
IF, however, Churchill wants tc
turn his threat to use gas into po-
litical effect on the Reich, he would
do well to realize that such ar
expectation is based on complete
ignorance of the German mind and
therefore, is doomed to failure from
the very outset"

writer's and artists" Lit. Col. War
ren j. Clear, retired. who was there,
yesterday shattered a widespread
conception of the principal Manila
Bay island as a fortress that afford
ed shelter for it's gallant defenders.
The small force of Americans who
withstood more than 300 air raids
during the nearly five-month siege
and % days Of almost incessant ar
tillery bombardment before the flag
was hauled down May 6, lived and
fought almost entirely in the open,
he disclosed.
Col. Clear also revealed that the
submarine Trout sneaked through
the japanese blockade to carry bad
ly-needed anti-aircraft ammunition
to Corregidor during the first days
of February The Army officer said
the submarine brought in small
quantity of new 3-inch anti-aircraft
ammunition with mechanical fuses.

about a month ago from the Philip

interview over the Army hour.

casting Co.
Not only were 1t. Gen. Jonathan
M. Wainright's men completely ex-
posed to enemy fire because of lack
of shelter, he declared, but the
islands great guns and anti-aircraft
batteries also were in the open.
Col. Clear said that treaty pro-
visions "honorably observed" by the
Americans had prevented the in
stallation of those guns under
ground and pointed out that Cor
regidor's one tunnel, where wounded
were cared for and ammunition
stored, had been constructed to per-
NIT trolleys to travel from one end
of the island to the other.
Built by Far-Sighted General.
This tunnel, he pointed out, had
been built without funds by a far
sighted general who once had COM
manded at Corregidor."
japanese bombers as early as De-
cember 20 had destroyed all the
great barracks on "topside," as the
upper part of the island is known.
| After that, no barracks were left for
the troops, he added, and what the
| Japanese bombers did not destroy,
the Americans burned to reduce the
| fire hazard.
THE troops then had to live, eat
and sleep in the open and their only
shelters during most of the bomb
ings were trenches and fox holes" "
| he said.
| Before the Japanese had blasted
/ Corregidor's hospital on top of the
/ island, the majority of the wounded,
/ Col. Clear said, had been given
makeshift shelter in the tunnel ex-
tending through Malinta Hill. Even
so, he pointed out, they were in
daily danger of being blown to bits
by immense stores Of explosives
cached in the tunnel Many of Cor
regidor's defenders above ground
also we're exposed to this danger.
Wounded Placed in Laterals.
The wounded men were in six or
seven laterals leading off from the
main tunnel, he said. but in one of
the laterals next to them was ESQ.,
600 pounds of black powder. In a
couple of other laterals were 100000
gallons of gasoline.

Presumably, several hundred
bombers would be required, how
ever, to spray Berlin or Hamburg
effectively.
In addition > the spraying
method, it is believed that numbers
of small bombs filled with choking
gas, such as phosgene, would be
used.
The enormous expansion of the
r. A. F. has extended the gas target
area to the very rail centers and
depots from which German men
and supplies are dispatched to the
Russian theater.
The fighting services and the
Home Security Department have
built up Europe's most complete
protection against enemy gas. Mil

out to Britons.
Gas Terrors Reduced.
Squads in each battalion of the
British Army train the soldiers in
the use of gas masks, capes, anti
gas ointments and eye shields.
Gas schools have been instituted
for the fighting services. Troops on
maneuvers are sprayed with a mix

like gas containers against maneu-

Gas, which spelled terror for the
British in the first year of the war,
appears to have lost its grip on
British imaginations. Only one in
several hundreds were carrying their
masks today. The home Office
warned every one should have his
gas mask readily available" at all
times.

The Ambassador said he had not

British planes swarmed over the

action and observers on the coast
said their formations on the return
trip stretched for 20 miles up and
down the coastline.
Many planes came from the direc-

Bad weather prevented the R. A.
