REDS KEEP INITIATIVE
The Russian armed forces appear

the eastern front except in the
Crimea, where the most intensive
fighting was reported.
II had been anticipated in Allied
military quarters that Hitler's big
drive would begin in the Crimea-

there are more favorable to spring
operations than on the flood-sWollen

700-MiIe Coast
Section Dimmed

SAN FRANCISCO, May 12-UP)
The 700-mile central section of
the Pacific coast shoreline joined
the Atlantic coast today m dim
ming its lights as a means of over
coming the submarine menace to
shipping.
The dim-out order was effective
last night, but its effectiveness
could not be gagged pending reports
from vessels at sea.
A spokesman for the 18th naval
district said it probably would be
several days before authorities
would be satisfied with the effort
He pointed out that weather con-
ditionS would play a large part in
the control of shore lights. Fog,
which blankets the central Cali
fornia coast from May through
July or August. provides a perfect
reflector for inland lights, even
removed from the shoreline itself.
LITTLE CHANGE
Thus, the greater part of San
Francisco, while shielded from the
ocean by its range of hills, could
provide sufficient light to silhouette
a ship at sea, even though the
lights on the ocean side were
dimmed.
To the casual observer, there
seemed to be little change in the
lighting situation last night Lights
from shipyards at Richmond and
Oakland blazed as usual, and while
they were not actually visible from
the ocean, the rejecting glow I'M
doubtedly could be seen at sea-
The regional office of civilian de-
Tense, at the request of the 18th
naval district, ordered the dim-out

WASHINGTON, May 12-UP)-
Approximately 100000 motorists in

defense transportation is consider
ing the use of the Atlantic intra-

commerce subcommittee begins an
investigation of all inland water
ways for the transportation of Oil

SAFE FROM SUBS
An ODT official said the chief
difficulty in obtaining gasoline over
the Atlantic coastal waterway was
to find oil-carrying barges. Some
transportation experts have Sug-
geSted wooden barges could be built
The waterway, the ODT spokes-
man said, would be safe from the
threat of Axis submarines. The
waterway runs from Florida to the
Chesapeake Bay and is protected
from the sea practically all of the
way.
The office CT the petroleum CO.
ordinator, it was learned, is study
ing the possibilities of temporary
pipeline across Florida which would
connect between vessels from the

might take the Atlantic intra- coast
