The Once Of Petroleum Ordi-
nator told its regional transportation
directors today 70 take prompt ac-
ton" to assure essential gasoline in
. 20-State area In which general

been ordered halted.
Ralph X. Davies, Deputy Co-Ordi-
nator, said the ban, effective today,
would not be allowed to interfere

Mr.. Davis again called attention
to . provision Of the ban under

suit in the non delivery of petroleum
products shown to be necessary for
agricultural production, continued
efficient operation OF any essential
industrial establishment, or for
maintenance OF the public health or
safety" may receive gasoline by tank
car.
The order establishes definite pro-
eedure for such exceptions. Distri-
butors OF petroleum products may
apply to the director OF transporta-
ton of the OPC for the district in
which they are, located, for written
authorization to ship gasoline in tank
cars for essential uses.
A showing must be made that sub
stitute arrangements for movement
by means of other than tank car
cannot be made.
Walter Du Mont, Chicago, is di-
rect for District Two and William E.
Averill Houston, Texas, for District
Three.
States in District Two include
Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana,
Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Min
nesota, Iowa, Missouri, Oklahoma,

Gasoline, Tydings Says
=, the Associated Press.
Travelling statesmen who gathered
at the Mayfiower Hotel to protest
gasoline rationing were told today
BY Senator Tydings, Democrat, Of
Maryland, that their cause merited
reconsideration and that they de-
served a reallotment Of the fuel.
THE travelling salesman is the
pump that keeps water flowing
through the business system Of the
United States" Senator Tydings
said tn opening conference Of
about 125 salesmen and personnel
representatives from companies In
the eastern rationed States.
"'The allotment now effective for
travelling statesmen Is tantamount
to conflscation of their means Of
livelihood" the Senator asserted.
He predicted that with use Of al
possible means of transport. the
East would get all but about Is per
cent Of its normal amount Of petro-
leum products.
g. II. Pouder, executive vice presi-
dent OF the Baltimore Association OF
Commerce, said q survey of sBalti-
more firms resulted In ITO reporting
they were adversely affected by gas
oline rationing. These firms en-
ployed 2,932 travelling salesmen, Of
whom 7,142 said they were seriously
affected. 42

Africa, leader of a new force of
resistance
The Vichy government, the
Fighting French, and now Gen.
Giraud have all been conceived
as a means of reaching the peo-
pie of France, and their military
organizations, the North African
army, the French fleet and the
forces assembled since summer,
1910, by Gen. de Gaulle. These
latter, though small, have par
ticipated in the Syrian campaign,
the Egyptian campaign and have
given us bases for operation in
New Caledonia, Tahiti and Equa-
torial Africa.
Mr.. Hull thought it wise to
keep contact with Vichy for the
purpose Of winning away from
Germany as much as possible. 1t
cannot be said that this was done
In preparation for the North
African campaign because this
policy was pursued during all the
months between the collapse of
France and our entrance into the
war, before any military meas
ures were planned.
Now, the question may be
asked: Was it successful? Have
we achievd anything from our
friendly relations with Vichy?
Hulrs Views Discussed.
Mr.. Hull says we achieved: First,
intelligence information; second,
maintenance OF close relations
with the French people; third,
keeping alive the idea of a free
France; fourth, fostering re-
sistance to increased German de-
mands under the armistice, and
fifth. paving the way for sending
a military force into the Western
Mediterranean. This final point,
Of course, only concerns the last
few months.
Now, if We accepted the first
eain-a chance to get valuable
information-how about the other
four?
Did our policy toward Vichy
help us to maintain close rela-
tions with the French people, or
did it confuse the minds Of the
French people? This is at least
arguable.
Did it keep alive the idea of a
free France, or did it discourage
the only Free French movement
which was operating? This is cer-
tainly arguable.
Did it foster resistance to in
creased German demands? This
is not arguable. 1t did not The
Petain government has consistent
ly yielded ground to German de-
mands.
And did it pave the way for
sending a force into the Western
Mediterranean?
The fact is that Petain offered
only formal verbal protest
against the German occupation
of France, and withdrew even

The Great Game Of Politics
Good News From Africo Dangerous II 1t LuIIs
U. S. Citizens Into War Is Won Let-down

The extent of our losses In the
Solomons have by no means been
revealed, but the official statements
have said that they were costly on
both Sides" When the full facts are
available, probably, 1t will be found
that while unquestionably worth it
we have had to pay high price
for our Guadalcanal occupancy and
success.
This should not unduly depress
us. Rather, it should serve to i'm
press upon the public that, notwith-
standing the greatness of the Afri-
can group, we still have an enemy in
the East, strong, resourceful, treach-
erous, dangerous and unbeaten-an
enemy who still holds the Philip
pines; an enemy into whose ruthless
hands have fallen many thousands
of American soldiers; an enemy who
will fight, as Ambassador Grew, who
certainly knows what he is talking
about, says, until they are practi-
cally exterminated.
Must be Crushed.
While the Germans may crack,
as they did in the last war. under
the Allied blows to follow full North
African occupancy, the japanese
are apt neither to crack nor give
up. They have got literally to be
crushed with force.
Thus, to relax would be fatal aid
too greatly to rejoice prematurely.
Clearly, the length and cost of the
ultimate and complete victory de-
pends on the competency of the war
effort here.
1neflciency and waste are no
longer measured in money but in
lives. The time has gone by when
the sort of thing that has been going
on IN Washington can longer be
tolerated. A greater degree of con-
centration and coordination is es-
Sential.
The dramatic and thrilling Afri-
can news must not mislead any one
into thinking that the war manage
ment is efficient or that the machine
IS running as it should. No more
helpful thing can happen than a
continued manifestation of public
impatience with the retention of
small, swollen men in high Govern
ment positions-and other things.
This is the time for more, not less.

Algiers and receive the American
troops as friends.
But even the highest quarters
in Washington do not have a
clear picture of what is going on
across the Algerian border and,
for that matter, they have no in
formation whatsoever about what
is going on in France proper.
Earlier in the week it had been
forecast that Admiral Jean
Esteva, who is in charge of the
Tunisian defenses, would side
with Gen. Henri Honore Giraud,
and this was borne out when Ad-
miral Jean Darlan ordered the
French forces in North Africa to
cease fire and abstain from op-
posing the troops under COM
mand of 1t. Gen. Dwight Eisen-
hover.
\ But in the last "a hours since
high ranking German officers
made their appearance in the
city of Tunis and small units of
Nazi and Italian parachute
troops arrived in Tunisia certain
doubt has been expressed over
surrender of the French garrison.
In any event, Gen. Eisenhower is
taking no chances and is pre-
pared to take the French protec-
torate in protective custody by
force If necessary until France
is restored to her pre-war free
dom and can be entrusted once
again with tutelage over that
area.
Rommel Rumored in Europe.
According to available reports,
the remnant of the Nazi forces
under command of Field Marshal
Erwin Rommel is too far away to
reach the Tunisian border in
time to oppose the Allied expe-
dition. Rommels forces have
barely crossed into Libya and are
quite distance from Tripoli, the
only possible "DunRerque."
A strong american air
and naval force is ready to take
off and prevent repatriation of
the remaining Nazis in Africa.
The whereabouts of Marshall
Evening star., 1942-11-13
This Changing World
Entire Southern Shore Of Mediterranean
Expected to Be in Allied Hands in Next Few Doys

Rommel himself is not known
but there are persistent rumors
that he left two Nazi divisions in
the hands of his second in COM
mand while he himself flew back
to the European mainland to
report to Hitler.
Without any extravagant opti-
mism, it is considered in the
highest Washington quarters
that within the next few days
the entire southern shore of the
Mediterranean will be in the
hands of the Allies. Political
moves in Africa have been pre-
pared with as much care and
precision as the military move
ments. An enormous amount of
credit for those preparations is
given to Robert Murphy, coun-
selor of the American Embassy at
Vichy, who has spent the largest
portion of his time in the last 18
months in Morocco and Algiers.
Made Friends of Arabs.
Mr.. Murphy made friends with
local French officials and parti-
cularly with Arab chieftains
who we're undecided regarding
their opposition to an eventual
American penetration of North
Africa. 1t was because of his in
sistence that several shiploads of
cotton cloth--without which no
Arab dead can reach Moham-
med's paradise-kerosene for the
use of the Arab tribes, linseed
oil and other essentials were sent
to North Africa despite the vio-
lent protests Of those who be-
lieved these goods would find
their way into the Reich.
Mr.. Murphy had a difficult job
In counteractlng Nazl propa-
ganda with the restricted means
at his disposal and because of the
opposition of number of "ex-
perts" in Washington and partic-
ularly in London.
Finally, While he was not able
to say he had won the Arabs
over, he was sure of their tenn
porary neutrality. The rest was
in the hands Of the American
armed forces. If they were Sue
cessful in obtaining spectacular
successes in overcoming the re-
sistance of the French. and de-

doubt the final result.
The only way we can be beaten
now is to beat ourselves. The only
way TO lose this war is to become
foolishly overconfldent; to be hurt
fully critical of our Allies or incredi-
bly, incompetent ourselves.
With the crushing of Field Mar
shal Rommels army, with complete
United Nations control of North
Africa; with, as now appears assured,
the Mediterranean wholly and Sc
| curely ours, despite Mr.. Churchill's S
conservative description, it does seem
the beginning of the end. That is
the view Of the highest strategists,
the judgment of those who ought to
know best.
Belief that the Allied African vic
tories are thus rightly interpreted
is almost as great an asset as the
victories themselves.
Depressing to Enemies.
For the British people, who for
three years have grimly and doggedly
stood up against bad news, with al
most no good news, the tonic effect
must, of course, be very great. Here
in the United States it has lifted
high the spirits of a people rather
depressed about the war and with
great misgivings about it manage
ment.
All over the country men and
women are buoyant with a new con-
fidence. If this is true of us, the
reverse must be true of our enemies.
The smashing nature of the Nazi
defeat in Africa, the failure of their
Russian campaign and the certain
knowledge that every day there is
an increase in the forces against
them, which there is no way to
match or offset, cannot help but
damage the Nazi morale, both at
home and in the field
Rigid as is their control over the
channels of communication, there
is no way for the Nazi leaders
wholly to Keep the facts from seep-
ing through to the German people.
And they cannot disguise from
themselves that the tide no longer
runs their way. Nor is it in either
the German leaders or the German
people to stand up as long or as
well against the sort of adversity
the British have stood.
Bad News to Come.
All of which is fine, but it should
| not lead us to believe that the war
is over or that there are not some
tough times ahead for us before it is.
The other night in New York, Byron
Price, director of censorship, said
there was some bad news coming"
And, of course, he is right.

feating the "Alemans' the Ger
mans--there was no doubt that
the Arabs would play along with
us. And so, the Arabs are letting
us have our way now.
Gen. Eisenhower, while still
cautious about the rear of our
forces which are occupying most
ly the shores of North and West
Africa, has reasonable grounds to
believe that with tact and lib
eral distribution of goods, he can
count on the loyalty of the
Arabs.
