Londoners Satisfied
With Results Of
Clothing Rationing
Distribution Fuirer,
Shipping Space and
Labor Conserved
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 25.-Londoners
felt satisfied that as the first year
of clothing rationing drew 20 close
there had been q more equitable
distribution of the things they
needed to wear.
The rationing had done more, too.
It had released for other work
quarter of a million tons of ship
ping and allowed about 100000
workers to be transferred to war
work
The government, however, noting
that the cotton industry's produc-
ton was below current needs, hur-
riedly began redrafting approx
mately $4,000 former operatives who
had been assigned to other war
tasks
The cotton output recently had
been raised 8 per cent, mostly by
overtime work, but production still
was IS per cent below the goal.
News of the governments effort in
this direction buoyed textile shares,
which ended the week very firm.
Britain's women, in the mean
time, were expected to make grand
rush for 100000 pairs of silk
stocks-the last to be made available
for the duration-which soon will
be placed on sale. The annual pre-
war demand was 300 100000 pairs.
In the Manchester cotton trade
production was easily the main
topic of discussion. There was no
important change in the yarn posi-
ton while trade in Egyptian swifts,
although slightly larger, still was
small compared with coarser counts.
Liverpool reported liberal arrivals
of Brazilian and other outside
growths while there still was a good
spinner demand for better qualities.
The rayon producers chief prob
lem was in equitable rationing Of
the restricted output among GUS
toners and the export business was
on a limited scale.
The position Of wool was uncertain
as traders waited to see what the
prices would be after JulyA1, al
though they were more concerned
about deliveries than about the
price or the supplies of raw ma
terialS.
The manufacturers have as much
work as they can handle for the
rest of the year.

Channel for Oil Barqes
Feasible, Engineer Says
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A 12-foot channel could be pro-
vided for the Inland Waterway from
Jacksonville, Fla. to Trenton, N. j.,

route feasible for oil barge move
ment, an Army engineer told a
Senate Commerce Subcommittee to-
day.
Maj. Gen. Thomas M. Robbins of
the Army Engineer Corps appeared
before the committee. which is in
vestigating the possibility of reliev-
ing the East's gasoline shortage by
greater use of the inland waterways.
The waterways can do the job,
and it's just question of getting

asked.
That's all it is, sir" Gen. Robbins
responded.
Gen. Robbins said that, although
it might be difficult to obtain pri-
critics for new steel barges, delivery
by barge would require considerably
less steel than proposed pipeline
with a contemplated carrying
capacity Of 100000 barrels a day.
He added that regardless of the
kind of barge that might be built,
difficulty would arise in obtaining
the necessary propelling machinery.

Two Safe in Sky croshi
City IRoided1 by Debris

TEANECK, N. j., May 25 (P)-Two
Army planes crashed 10000 feet over
Teaneck yesterday, the two aviators
parachuted to safety and the pilot
less aircraft plummeted into the
doorsteps of astounded residents.
Despite fire and falling plane
parts no one was badly hurt.
One plane sheared off garage
roof and burst into flames; the
other buried itself nose first in
dirt street of an exclusive area.
One pilot, 1t. M. M. Brown OF
Louisville, KY, parachuted INTO a
swamp; his friend, 1t. Louis Bowen
of Champaign, ILL.,, settled on the
front lawn of home near Teaneck
High School. 1t Bowen went inside
for coffee and treatment for minor
cuts.
Vincent CaStka, wakened from
sleep by the crash, found plane
parts had fallen through his root
and, thinking there had been an air
raid, turned to his wife:
well, they've been here.
DR.. F. A. Macaulay discovered
curtains in his home afire and in
one bedroom a mattress ignited as
a result of the crash in front OF
his residence. Civil defense workers
were knocking at the door almost
Immediately, he said, ready to ex-
tinguish the flames.
The second plane, meanwhile, was
Winning off the rear part of Joseph
Tracey's two-car garage. -Four fire
men. slightly injured in fighting the
blaze, were treated at the scene.
Across the street, Miss Hilda
Bjorne, maid, was hanging drapes
when she heard the sky crash. She
dashed into a driveway to look and
at that moment the tail of the plane
thudded to earth through the
drapes.
Both planes were masses OF wreck
age beyond salvage.

To Wi pc Out Foe

WASHINGTON. Nov. 24.-UPJ
Secretary Of Navy Frank Knox
said today that II is unlikely the
japanese can get reinfCrcementS
into Guadalcanal
Knox told a press conference that
American forces are mamtaing
pretty rigid patrol day and night
around the island in the South
Pacific
Asked whether the japanese
might be able to get ashore at night
in small crate. Knox replied:
ITS possible but improbable"
He indicattu that both air and
surface patrU. are being main
tanned day ana night.
FIRM HOLD KEPT
He said that the SolomonS sit
uation appeared 10 be progressing
along the lines he recently outlined
4 that time he said operations
were progressing satisfactorily and
that the United States had firm
hold on the island.
He added that the American
forces are widening their area of
control TO about seven to nine
miles west of Henderson field and
that The distance between the east
ern and western American lines is
now more than 16 miles.
AT this point an aide to Knox
pointed out that despite these gains,
the Americans actually control less
than 3 per cent of the island S
area.
The United States western lines
ON the island are less than 20
miles from Cape Esperance. on the
northeastern tip of GuaC:alcanal
where the Japanese had earlier
lanoed their largest concentrations.
Knox said This indicated that the
AREA IN which the major japanese
forces on the island are concen-

themselves as their tough. Jungle

the communique merely reported
that Americans had captured Cape

I slightly more than a mile southeast
of Buna, Guard said an Australian
, American column which came down
on track from Soputa was within
1.20O yards of Buna last night.
FIGHTING HEAVY
MacArthur's statement that heavy
resistance around Buna itself con-
tinues" was underlined by this AL
lied columns gain OF about $50
yards in one da"'s fighting.
Another American force which
had captured one small air strip
continued to attack the main Japa-
nese air field about two miles south
Of Buna in a stretch of grassland
between cocoanut plantations and
sago swamp stretching inland
from the cape.
The Yanks necessarily had to
proceed cautiously. because the Jap
anese were using snipers and were
entrenched in strong machine gun
posts, but a number Of the latter
were captured.
Occupation of Cape Endaiadere
gave the Americans an important
advantage since they can now pound
the main Japanese positions in and
around Buna with artillery from
the east as we'll as from the south
and west. There was no further
report on an American unit pre-
viously reported mile northwest
of Buna.
LINES PIERCED
1t appeared that the allies would
make a major attack at Sanananda,
which was not only threatened from
the northwest by the Australians,
but also by an Australian American
column driving UP from the south
west after branching off near So
puta.
Guard reported that the Ameri-
cans were making many of their
gains by fitering through the jap
anese lines in small parties to wipe
out machine gun nests and pick
off snipers hidden in trees. All
Japanese positions were we'll pre-
pared and 50 well camouflaged it
was difficult to estimate accurately
the enemy's strength, Guard said.
