Mr.. Henderson added that this
responsibility is intensified by the
serious situation in New England,
where there is a special transporta-
tlon problem. Every bootleg transac-
ton or careless use of gasoline nit
lgates against New England and
against the ability of the men there
to continue their high level of mil

Immediately following Mr.. Hen
derson's announcement of the lift
ing of the sales suspension order a
spokesman for Washington gas
dealers predicted the cut in B and
c rations would reduce consumption
to the necessary level. He did not
like the announcement of crack
down. on dealers. He declared that
rationing regulations were so COM
plex that it was nearly impossible
for a dealer or the public not to
violate some one of them.
Sol Herzog, general counsel of the
Eastern States Gasoline Dealers
Conference. said in New York that
he doubted the program will save

as "makeshift," and added that in

oped shortage was brought about
by heavy military demands partic-
ularly in the New York area.
Reproaches One Deader.
One of the dealers whose license
to do business he had just "sus-
pended for the duration" was
singled out by the price admins
traitor for special reproach. He
said the man had transportation
business in addition to the filling
station. He had used T tickets is
sued for his trucks, Mr.. Henderson
said, to cover up sales to motorists
who were short of coupons.
Mr.. Henderson said the reduc-
tion in B and c coupons docs not
mean that judgments of local ra-
tioning boards have been wrong-in
fact, would uphold a ma ajority of
| decisions made by the boards-it
means We Just don't have the gas"
He said boards had reviewed motor
lists needs and revoked more than
100000 B and C books.
The new conservation program he
predicted would reduce consumption
under rationing so that it would fit
the supply of gasoline which Mr.
Ickes said would be available in the
East. He said driving along the
Atlantic Seaboard already had been
reduced by rationing to SIS per
cent of normal.
Quizzed on Sunday Driving.
Mr.. Henderson was asked why
OPA did not ban Sunday pleasure
driving. He replied that such a
regulation would impose enormous

thought we might have to bail

five enlisted men in the crew

Frumkin crashed a second time,
this time off the coast of Java.
Landing on a small island, he and
his men worked feverishly for a
week, improvising runway and
took off. A couple of weeks later
Gabe was shot down a third time.
His plane dropped in deep mud.
Struggling to free himself, he had
just about succeeded when a for
nation of Jap planes bombed him.
He didn't die, but he was wounded.
The plane, unchanged, was taken
off by the other crew members,
who piloted the wounded man
back to safety. Frumkin was
carried to a hospital. Recovering,
he joined up with Macarthur and
is now again on active duty, going
up in the air against Americas
enemies.

There were eight Americans in

Handsome Colin P. Kelly captain

Pacific waters, seeking Japanese
prey. In the bombardier's seat
sat Meyer Levin, of good old
Brooklyn, u. S. A., son of Sam
and Leah Levin.
Silently the men watched the
horizon. Suddenly the waters be-
low parted and large, heavily
manned battleship, flying the flag
of Nippon, zoomed into sight.
Irish Colin Kelly turned to Jew
ish Meyer Levin, smiled and whis-
pered: What do you say we get

lessons he had been obliged to
take to qualify for the task at
hand. Kelly's plane leaped into
sight, zoomed down at the Jap
ship, which sported the name
Haruna, and the guns of war be-
gan to play their grim music.
Levin released a bomb, then an
other on it's target. Like a wound

struck back at them. Reveries
were broken. Jap zero fighters
were looming above them in the
air. The American bomber, heavy,
no match for the speedier, more
deadly fighter planes, got ready to
do battle to the Nipponese filters.
But Kelly took in the problem at
a glance. He turned to his men,
barked an order, which they un-
derstood, but hated to obey. Get
out, and get home," Kelly COM

death as Japanese bullets found

being Tilted by Mattingly, attorney
examiner for the Indiana Public

The prosecution alleged that Mrs

and had no claims on him.
The jury received the case late
yesterday and, except for an hour
for dinner, deliberated until II pm.
when most of its members, accus-
toned to the early-to-bed routine
of farm life, decided for sleep.
Choice of Seven Verdicts.
After an early breakfast, the jury
resumed its deliberations today. but
the lack of a verdict indicated II
was having difficulties. Special
Judge Charles B. Staff went to his
home at Franklin at noon with in
structions that he be called when
the jury was ready to report.
The jury had choice of seven

Batavia was bombed twice while
I was there, but the explosives fell
at the harbor, which was so distant
I could not see what happened.
I was warned it was advisable to
leave, and I began to seek means
Of escape. BY chance I learned that
a Dutch ship was departing. Going
to catch the boat, I passed through
rural scenes of men tilling the soil,
and 1t was hardly believable that
invasion was near.
Most Americans Escaped.
The boat was not filled complete
ly. Most of the passengers were
women who learned of the sailing by
chance and almost missed it.
The trip from Java was quite un-
eventful but sad Many of the wom-
en- had left their husbands behind.
My roommate, Marietta Mould
Montgomery of New York, was
rushed to the boat by her husband,
who. lacking a visa, remained be-
hind.
I understand that most American
civilians escaped.
After many agonizing hours of
uncertainty and many warnings of
the gravity of the Java situation,
which made it seem unlikely my
husband got away. received a tele-
gram from him in Perth.
How he learned my whereabouts,
even at which hotel I am staying,
I do not know. But I am thankful
that he is safe in city untouched

Two More Organizations
0DDose Recreation Bill

Two more organizations have
joined the battle initiated by two
Negro organizations against a sec
tion of the proposed District recre-
alton bill now before the Senate.
The District branch of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment Of Colored People and the
Fraternal Council of Negro Churches
sent telegram to President Roose-
welt asking him to veto the measure
If it passes In its present form.
Opponents Of the measure con-
tend section seven would legalize
and make permanent Jim Crow
ism" in the form of extending seq
regation of races where 1t does not
now exist
Leaders in the fight against the
language in the bill were the United
Government Employees and the Ma
tional Negro Council.
The telegram to President Roose-
velt said a delegation had called on
Chairman McCarran of the Senate
District Committee and Senator
Burton of Ohio.
Another telegram was sent Secre-
tary of Interior Ickes expressing
appreciation of gains made in un-
restricted use of park areas under
his administration and asked him
to use his influence against the
recreation bill.
The bill would reorganize the ad-
ministration of recreation under the
jurisdiction of member
board. Unification of facilities has
been sought by various agencies for
more than a decade. The language
objected to was inserted in the SEN
ate revision of the bill passed by
