lift the ban.
Consequently, several sales we're
made during the afternoon and last
night.
Sugar is on sale throughout the

quired.
Sales were made on the basis Of
the first stamp out of the % in

is good for only one pound of sugar,
which must last one person for two
weeks. The first stamp is good only
up to May 16.
Stamp No 2, Mr. Cantrell en-
phasized, is not good for purchase of
sugar now. 1t cannot be used until
the period from May II to May 80.

Government rationing authorities

5000 Turned Away.
Asked about complaints that
many people had been turned away
from schools after having waited for
long time to register, Mr.. Can
trell said a survey indicated about
5000 were turned away. He said
many schools had kept operating
until everybody in line at o'clock,
closing time, had been registered.
On the other hand some schools
had turned away from 100 to 200
persons. h .-1t -.
Those rejected yesterday may reg
lister today or at any time in the
next three days. he said. With
plenty of supplies. books and ap-
plications on hand, and hopes for
an increased number of volunteers,
Mr.. Cantrell said he believed the
machinery would run much more
smoothly tonight.
Expressing appreciation for the
work of the volunteers, Mr.. Cantren
said their long hours Of intensive
work deserved high praise. Most
of them already had put In a full

Rationing Of Gasoline
May Be Extended,
Ickes' Aide Says
Diversion Of Transport
To East Likely to
Affect Other Areas
By the Associated Press.

6S inc A18OclAbeo PreS~.
Ralph K. Davies, deputy petro-
leum co-ordinator, said today
that it depended entirely on de-
velopments in the oil transpor-
tation situation whether gaso-
line rationing would have to be
spread to States other than those
on the East Coast.
In formal statement pointing
out that transportation facilities
of other areas has been diverted
to aid the Eastern States, Mr.. Davies
warned that 'it is quite possible
that shortages may develop in the
areas" from which such facilities
are diverted.
And we see no reason why the
East Coast alone should be forced
to bear all the hardships and in
conveniences" resulting from the oil
transportation difficulties, he said
as he commented after all, this is
every Americans war"
Rationing Ordered.
Wi ooAAAACiibo dIC LII Cl1CCI al Illc
East and Pacific Northwest and ra-
tioning of gasoline in the East by
a card system has been ordered
effective May Is due to the critical
supply situation.
Co-ordinator Ickes planned to ad-
wise Price Administrator Leon Hen
derson during the day on the degree
Of rationing he considers essential.
Appearing before a congressional
committee yesterday, Mr. Ickes ridi-
culed again a report from one semi
official source that the cards might
cut motorists to as low as 21a gall
Ions OF gasoline a week. Consump-
ton Of motor fuel now is restrict
ed by one-third in the East and
Oregon and Washington, through
limitation Of supplies to filling sta
tions.
Mr.. Davies explained that as long
as Oil transportation facilities con-
tinue ample to meet all require
ments in a particular area, the CO.
ordinator's Office "sees no reason for
compelling a reduction in gasoline
consumption in that arear."
May Affect Other Areas.
However" he said, I'VE have been
calling on all such areas to give
up large percentage of their trans
portation facilities in order that
these facilities might be used to
relieve the difficult supply situation
along the Eastern Seaboard. Natur-
ally, as more and more tank cars
pipe lines, barges and trucks are
transferred to Eastern service, it is
quite possible that shortages may
develop in the areas from which
they are taken. II this happens
curtailment of consumption may
quite logically follow. as the only
way by which reduced supplies can
be equitably spread.
But regardless of whether this
happens or not, we propose to con.
tinue calling on inland areas to as
sist with the transportation problem
to the greatest extent possible"
Mr.. Davies explained that con-
sumption had not yet been curtailed
in the Middle Wests for, instance, be
cause both supplies and transporta
ton continue adequate to meet pres
ent requirements.

they could not remember which
children had middle names and
which ones did not.
When the question of height
arose, cadet from Westinghouse
High School had to produce yard
stick so that the parents could esti-
mate their children's height, which
they did not know exactly.
The Cherrydale School turned
away about 40 persons at 9 pm, the
official closing hour. To prevent a
recurrence registration officials sug-
gested that non-employed persons
should come to register in the morn
ing and leave the afternoon and
evening for workers.
Some persons in Montgomery
County. Md, said they we're unable
to register at Montrose School just
before 7 pm, where long line was
waiting.
More Registrants Promised.
DR.. Edwin w. Broom, county ra-
tioning supervisor. said he would
have more registrants on duty there
tonight. AS the teachers are volun-
teering their services, without pay
he said, they were told to use their
| own judgment as to how long to re-
main after the 7 o'clock closing time
He emphasized that the teachers
had worked at school since early
morning and were busy on registra-
tions from 2 pm. to pm.
In some schools in the county per-
sons turned away received green
slips assuring early attention when
they return.
Registration started at the Thom-
son School, Twelfth and L streets
NV, with lively contest to be the
first in line. Much confusion on
the part Of newspaper reporters and
photographers resulted. --'T
A crowd began to gather on the
sidewalk on the L street side of the
building as early as 3:15 pm.
Seated in the front row Of the
crowd was Miss Mary A. Demond,

Reporters started their questions
and photographers began to focus
their cameras, but at that moment
some one emerged from the school
with the announcement that Miss
Demond was preceded by at least
four women, who had been waiting
in the basement. The first of these,
who asked that her name be with
held, ha6 left home at noon and
arrived at the school before o clock
When the doors were opened,

EVIDENCE IN BIG
 FIRE PREPARED

Boston, Dec. 16-(UP)-Evidence taken at the states hearing on the Coeoanut Grove disaster was dis- tributed to investigators today to be prepared for presentation to the Suffolk county grand jury.
 Nearly all witnesses had been questioned by Attorney General Robert T. Bushnell and District At. torney William J. Foley. The only major witness believed left was Fire Commissioner William A. Reilly who was summoned last Saturday, but who has yet to be heard. At yesterdays hearings. the major witnesses were Fire Lieut.. Frank J, Linney of the fire prevention bu- reau, who reported conditions at the Cocoanut Grove as good" eight days before the holocaust that took 4s8 lives, and James Welansky, who was in charge of the night club the night of the tragedy.
 Welansky was reported to have refused to answer any questions except to tell his name and ad- dress. His silence followed warning that whatever he said might be used against him in event of future ac- ton.
 It was believed that the case would be submitted to the grand l jury.

The strike which has been called by union employees affects Time and Life magazine, Readers Digest, as well as cataloss published by Montgomery Ward and Company and Sears Roebuck. .1

FIRE PHONE PLAN
 URGED BY STURCES
Idea Proposed to Eliminate Confusion Regarding
 Raid Alarms

To eliminate confusion regarding alarms, state Defense Administra- tor Wesley A, sturges today urged that in towns where volunteer oi part volunteer fire departments serve the community an audible sig nal. ordinarily used to summon the fire department, be dispensed with during conditions of air raid or blackout,
 In q letter to local defense chair. men Administrator Sturges suggest cd telephone be used to call the fire department in case of Q fire.
 He said; Since Are department personnel is and should be, fully mobilized upon the sounding of the air raid mobilization signal, 1t seems unnecessary under such conditions to sound Q further audible signal fl fire intervenes between that time and the all clear,
 Tt seems adequate In such cases when fire so originates that telo- phone fire calls be routed to the To- cal report center and that the fire apparatus be despatched from there by the duly authorized representa- tive Of the fire department without any audible signal for the fire alarm"
 Mir. Sturges emphasized that the use of an audible signal to summon the fire department in times other than during air raid or blackout conditions was not subject to criti- cism.
