O'DonneI| Says White House
Misunderstood Kiddinq in Letter

John ODonnell, whose publica-
ton in his newspaper column Of
what he considered obviously
facetious" references to the Army
life Of some Of his former col
leagues apparently displeased Presi-
dent Roosevelt, was amazed and
bewildered" today by the Presi-
dents reaction.
Mr.. Roosevelt picked up a NaZi
Iron Cross from his desk after his
press conference yesterday and
handed 1t to Earl Goodwin, radio
commentator, with instructions to
present it to Mr.. ODonnell for what
he had written about George Durno,
former White House correspondent
for International News Service who
now is captain in the Air Trans
port Command.
Mr.. Goodwin, who told his COL
leagues he would prefer not to have
anything to do with the matter,
said he had decided to follow the
Presidents instructions to the ex-
tent Of putting the cross in an
envelope ana Send1ng II TO Mr.
ODonnell by messenger.
Hasn't Received Medal.
Mr.. O'Donnell, Washington cor
respondent for the New York Daily
News, said he still had not received
the medal this morning, however.
The O'Donnell column Wednes-
day contained some paragraphs
from a letter from Jack Turcott,
New York Daily News correspondent
now in Australia, which gave what
Mr.. ODonnell described as fan
tastically exaggerated pictures of
Army life overseas, humorously pre-
sented" for "the entertainment of a
colleague who, in turn, thought he
would entertain Others"
The letter referred to alleged
flute playing and Scotch drinking
activities of Capt. Durno in Au-
stralia, who added a postscript of
his own charging this was libel"
and countering with a kidding re-

day and not have something give
way" he asserted.
Adding that no new buses are be-
ing manufactured and no spare parts
are available, he said that I'VE will
be lucky to have so per cent of our
fleet left year from now at this
rate"
Like several Of the other COM
panies operating in the nearby areas,
this bus line has not been able to
obtain the additional buses it has
requested from ODT.
Efforts to conserve gas in public
vehicles were reflected in an order
by Maj. Edward J. Kelly, superin-
tendent of police, who called on his
department heads to submit a plan
for reduction of mileage by police
cars and possibly to reduce the
number Of police cars on the street.
In other Eastern cities, officials
faced the problem Of cutting to the
bone all but the most essential driv-
ing by departments.
La Guardia Orders Cuts.
In New York City, Mayor La
Guardia already had ordered a cut
in gasoline consumption by city de-
partments, and there were indica-
tions that further curtailments
might be made
In Boston, Gov. Leverett Salton-

directed strictest compliance by all
State agencies to the Office of
Price Administration order.
Some Boston filling stations
closed although they still had gaso-
line, while others remained open
and sold freely. Regional OPA Ad-
ministrator Kenneth B. Backman
made a radio broadcast defining
necessary driving" and urging sta
tion operators to remain open.
A rush to fill tanks was reported
in Virginia, the Carolinas and
Georgia, while in Philadelphia the
Keystone Automobile Club attacked
what it described as the "muddled
thinking and handling of this criti-
cal fuel situation"
Pittsburgh dealers protested that
they had plenty of gasoline.
The rationing caught officials as
well as average citizens. In Colum-
bia. S. c., group Of county super
1ntendents of education was caught
by the order while meeting to dis
cuss gasoline and tire rationjng for
school buses.
A State Corporation Commission
hearing in Richmond, Va, on a
proposal to lower auto insurance
rates because Of rationing, ended
abruptly 20 minutes before the
deadline as the commissioners made
hurried calls to their wives to fill
their gas tanks.

mark about the temperature of Mr..
Turcott's bath.
Mr.. ODonnell issued the following
statement last night:
II am at a complete loss to
understand the action of the Presi-
dent this morning.
Il have not yet received the Ger
man decoration which he handed
Mr.. Goodwin after and the major
ity of correspondents had left his
presence at the conclusion of his
press conference. I am told that

letters sent to me by two Of my
former Washington newspaper col
leagues now in Australia.
"These letters came to me through
Army censorship.
They came from close friends.
George Durno, former White
House correspondent and now q
captain in the Army, was a CO.
worker with me before Mr.. Roose-
welt entered the White House.
Misunderstood at White House.
THE President in giving the Ger
man decoration to Mr.. Goodwin after
I had left the room said it was for
delivery to me because of what !
had written about Durno.' It is true
that Capt. Durno Is friend Of the
President. Capt. Durno for years
has been and I trust still Is a friend
of mine.
These paragraphs were obviously
facetious. They were Enthusiastically
exaggerated pictures OF Army life
overseas, humorously presented by
newspapermen for the entertainment
OF a colleague who in turn thought
that they would entertain others.
Il regret they have been misin-
terpreted and misunderstood at the

the length to which such misunder-
standing haA gone"

Germans Use Force
In Inducing Labor,
French Say
Volunteer Plan Dropped
Roid Industrial Centers
For Skilled Workers
By the Associated Press.


Germany has abandoned the pre-
tense Of seeking French volunteers
to work in Germany since the in
vasion Of Unoccupied France and
has begun taking men by violence
Fighting French headquarters here
said today.
Based on reports received from the
underground" the Fighting French
said the men, principally between 20
and 80 years old, were seized in
large numbers and transported to
the Reich without notice and with
out opportunity to inform their
families.
The seizures are made in the in
dustrial centers of Eastern France,
frequently while the men are at
work. AS many as IS per cent OF
the total force at some industrial
plants have been taken at one time,
the reports said.
So hard-pressed have the Nazis
become FOR manpower. the reports
added, that they have gone into
French prisons and taken thieves
and murderers.
While working in Germany is the
ostensible purpose of the seizures.
the Fighting French said, a second
purpose is served by wiping out CEN
ters of anti-Nazi sentiment in
French territory, as demonstrated
by the fact that the men taken do

in German concentration camps.
Railroad cars carrying the pris-
oners to Germany have been found

ing transported also have been re-

By the Associated Press.
An administration checkup indi-
Gated today that Senator Brown
Republican. Of Michigan will win
prompt confirmation as price ad-
mtnistrator If President Roosevelt
submits his name to the Senate in
January to succeed Leon Henderson
Despite opposition expressed pri-
vately by some farm leaders, SEN
ator Browns name is expected to
60 to the Senate shortly after the
new Congress convenes and to re-
ceive favorable action so he can
take over the reins of the Office of
Price Administration by January IS
Senator Aiken. Republican, OF
Vermont, who has criticized an
Interpretation Senator Brown placed
on the language of the Price Control
Act, which permitted the fixing of
agricultural price ceilings at a point
lower than farm bloc members con-
tended was legal, said he believed
there would be no organized opposi-
tinn If Senator Brown Is picked for
the job Mr.. Henderson resigned
Thursday.
Gillette Predicts Confirmation.
The resignation, accepted by the
President, will be effective with ap-
pointment Of successor.
Senator Gillette, Democrat, of
Iowa another farm State member
predicted speedy confirmation, and
Senator johnson, Democrat, OF
Colorado, said he felt "a very bad
situation" might be corrected with
the proposed change.
Senator Brown is the. very man
for the job. If he can be induced
to accept It," Senator johnson said
Hes familiar with the law, the
attitude Of Congress and with the
problems Of the office. He's from a
farm State and small town."
Senator Brown, Democrat from
st. Ignace, Mich, who was defeated
for reelection, Is understood to
have agreed at a White House con-
ference earlier this week to accept
the appointment.
Farm organization leaders are
known to have protested privately
to- some Senators that they would
haxe preferred to have Mr.. Hen
derson remain in the price control
pest rather than to see Senator
Brown take over.
Their opposition was represented
as stemming from the successful
fight made by Senator Brown in the
Senate to prevent adoption OF an
amendment to the price-wage- salary
stabilization bill which would have
boosted agricultural parity price
standards by taking into account
farm labor costs.
In the course Of that fight Sen
stor Brown named the heads of
several farm organizations and
urged his colleagues in a Senate
speech not to turn the leadership
Of the legislative branch OF the
Government over to these gentle
men, who, he said, were not hired
by the American people, but "hired
by the people whose interests they
serve"
The farm labor cost provision,
approved later by the House In
separate bill, will be brought before
Congress again shortly after It con-
venes and is expected to provide one
Of the major issues.
