MOTORISTS ADVISED TO
SAVE ANTI-FREEZE

Anti-freeze solutions for automo-
biles, tractors, and trucks may not be
available next year because of war
needs for chemicals used in their
manufacture, so Marylanders are ad-
vised to drain radiators and save anti
freeze for use next winter.
1t is pointed out that anti-freeze
will keep we'll if it is stored in cool
place in alright glass containers or
stone jugs. 1t is further suggested
that the cooling system be flushed
with clean water after draining be-
fore refilling.
Farmers whose tractors are filled
with water and anti-freeze should
drain this out, flush well, and refill
with water. This anti-freeze may be
saved also.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
HERO OF SEA NATIVE
or TANGIER ISLAND

William r. Savage, Captain Of a
steamship, who turned his vessel back
on her track after the nearby torpe-
doing off Cape Hatteras of an 5000
ton tanker and rescued thirty-siX of
the crew, is a native of Tangier.
1t was a bold move, but Captain
Savage and his brave crew got away
with it and farther down the coast
turned the rescued men over to
Coast Guard ship.
Captain Savage left Tangier Island
when he was about seventeen years
of age and went to Baltimore. He
shipped on a freighter as an ordinary
seaman, because of his early environ
ment, and rose rapidly. During World
War l he was torpedoed and was one
OF a very few survivors. In 1886 he
lost his ship in a collision with a Ger
man steamship in heavy fog, this
time he was one of six survivors, two
of whom died from exposure, after
being rescued. No doubt his own eX-
periences played an important part in
his heroic act March Is, 1912.
The law OF the sea during warfare
is to get out of submarine zone and
not try to aid a ship in distress, but
the code Of seaman is the code Of
the heart, so he turned his ship back.
The rescue of the tankers' crew was
completed at 3.45 p. m, Four of them
were killed instantly, but the 36 were
saved practically uninjured. Captain
Savage and his crew received a warm
greeting when their ship put into port
at Houston, Texas.
Many Eastern Shoremen will re
member his father, Captain Buck Saw
age of the old Eastern Shore"

Ruling on 0PA's Gas-Rate
Appeal Expected Today

A ruling was expected from JUS
tice Matthew F. Mcclure in District
Court today on whether to consider
the Office of Price Administrations
appeal from the Public Utilities
Commissions order granting $780,
900 rate increase to the Washington
Gas Light Co.
Joining yesterdays request by the
OPA that the order be reversed and
set aside were the following II civic
groups: The Anacostia, Chillum
Heights, Fort Davis, Hillcrest, Kenil-
worth, Randle Highlands, Sixteenth
Street Heights and Trinidad Citi-
zens' Associations, the Howard Park
and Kingman Park Civic Associa-
tions and the Washington League

what date it shall be heard; (2)
whether to stay the PUG order pend
ing the outcome of the court pro-
ceedings.

and the case reopened. The order
made the new rate effective as of
September /, and one OF the points
IN yesterdays arguments before JUS
tice Mcclure was whether the court
mad the power. under the appeal
taken, to stay a rate already in ef-
feet.

lem. Weeks Of hearings were held,
followed by the passage Of some leg
islation which should be of great
help. though it deals with only q
portion OF the difficulties involved.
As the committees dug into mat
ter, they found conflicting and para
doxical factors which made it hard
to simplify conclusions and pre-
scribe remedies that would reach
everybody. Elmer Davis, director
OF the Once of War Information,
told the Senate Small Business
Committee:
The financial effects OF war con-
ditions dncluding not only price,
fixing and rationing, but other war
created dislocations, such as defense
migration on 925 per cent of the
business establishments Of the coun-
try cannot be described in generan-
ties. Likewise, the attitudes of the
businessmen concerned cannot be
described in simple, overall terms.
Some small businesses are booming,
; others are declining, and the atti-
-tudes Of operators are to a large
extent dependent on the fortnes OF
their enterprises. .s~ ~,
Some Thrive, Some Die.
by and large, however, war pro-
duction areas have become centers
OF great activity in which most
small businesses-retailing, whole
sailing, service and manufacturing
alike-share in the boom, although
even In boom areas some businesses
are virtually shut down by stock or
raw material limitations. In other
areas vacancies are developing on
Main street, revenues are declining
and trade Is depressed. .. ="
Another phase, showing the effect
OF shutting of leading product
for the duration, is illustrated by the
testimony before the House Small
Business Committee of an auto
mobile dealer in a North Carolina
town OF LA. He said his firm had
been selling about 1900 new and
used cars a year. He added:
Il am very vitality affected by the
freezing order on the sale of new
automobiles, and the community is
also largely dependent on the con-
tinuatio nof our business. The pay
roll from our automobile business is
larger than the combined payrolls
OF every store and business in town.
Unless we are able to dispose OF the
used cars which we have accumu-
lated during the past fall at a rea-
sonable profit, we will not be able to
continue in business for longer than
six months.
The key to my particular situa-
tion is the ability to get additional
tires, principally recapped tires, and
parts to condition these automo-
biles for resale. Our customers will
have no incentive to buy these cars
unless they are able to get enough
tires to put on the cars after they
have been repaired; consequently.
our whole business operation fails
and our employees are thrown out
OF employment unless some relief is
given to allow some allotment of
camelback for retreading tires.
There Is no defense industry to
absorb the labor which we employ.
and, from that angle, they will be
thrown out of work"

York Manufacturer Starts
New Anti.New Deal Fiqhf
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 19-Fred-
erick Clark Perkins. 64-year-old bat
terry manufacturer of York, Pa, who
started his one-man feud against
the New Deal by refusing to comply
with NRA regulations, is in trouble
With the Government again.
MIR. Perkins was named yesterday
IN criminal bill of information filed
by Assistant United States Attorney
Thomas Curtin, charging him with
failure to pay $51.15 social security
taxes for the year ending June 80,
1912. Federal Judge George A. Welsh
issued bench warrant.
Mr.. Perkins quickly accepted the
challenge. Informed of the action
by phone he said, The social sec
urity tax is unconstitutional. They'll
have to take 1t away from me-
In the past the Government has
done just that, seizing his property,
usually trucks, and making him pay
the taxes and costs before return
ing them. Now, Mr.. Curtin said,
we're tired of this nuisance"
They'll have to put me in Jail"
Mr.. Perkins declared. TT won't be
the first time. I served 18 days for
refusing to comply with NRA."

the War Production Board. The
Murray-Patman Act provided the
corporation with $150,000, 900 to lend
money to small plants unable to
finance war production and au-
thorized it to act as prime contrac-
tor for groups of these little in
dustries If necessary.
This setup is beginning to help
the small plants and promises to
play major roll in their relief be-
fore long. But it does not help peo-
pie like Jim jenkins and the others
who distribute goods or furnish per-
sonal and household services. Fur
ther legislation is likely, and,
meanwhile, various agencies and
organizations are trying to help the
distressed wholesaler and merchant
stay in business.
Much has been said previously
about the manufacturers who can
not get war work." Senator MUIR
ray wrote in the introduction to a
current monograph prepared by the
Commerce Department. LESS dra-
matte, but every bit as important, is
the plight Of the hundreds of thou
sands Of retailers who find that they
no longer can get enough goods to
SELL"
Patman Would Use Subsidies.
Representative Patman, whose
committee at present is holding
hearings in Southwestern and
Southern cities, favors subsidies to
save small merchants and other
distributors if their trade may not
be preserved in any other way. He
50 informed The Star as the COM
mittee left Washington.
1T Is my belief" he said in a
formal statement announcing the
tour, that every industry necessary
IN war or essential civilian produc-
ton can and should be provided for
under existing laws and appropria-
tions passed by Congress. Useful
productive facilities that cannot be
classified under either of these cate
'gories should be protected in order
to preserve them until the emer-
gency is over"
Mr.. Patman added: Additional
legislation may be necessary to avert
a major economic disaster In the
fields Of retail and wholesale dis
trlbution and in the service trades.
believe Congress is ready to provide
this assistance as soon as a sound,
workable program can be agreed
on. The committee is now gathering
information on this problem"
Would Halt Big Grabs.
Another constructive measure
which grew out of committee inves-
legations was an act designed to
alleviate. the hardships of automo-
bile financing contracts under war
conditions.
The Patman committee also rec
commended to WPB and OPA that
rationed goods be made available
to small merchants in sufficient
quantities to keep them going. 9th
erWise, it was pointed out, the little
distributors were apt to be forgotten
BY manufacturers, who found 1t less
trouble to deal with large firms.
Mr.. Patman has pending before
the House Judiciary Committee a
bill to adjust lease, renegotiate
them, wherever war factors have
made them impossible or extremely
dlfdcult to carry out. Hearings on
this measure have been promised.
