BULLETIN,

Deputy Petroleum Co-ordin-
ator Ralph K. Davies has tele-
graphed oil suppliers in New
England and other sections of
the East to cut use of tank
cars for gasoline to the extent
necessary to take care of the
fuel oil demand in the north
east section. This action, an
authoritative source said,
would almost surely result in a
curtailment OF the gasoline

OPA previously had announced
generally what areas would be in
each zone, but today broke the zones
down by counties in instances where
an entire State was not in the same
zone.
In addition to the four zones, OPA
said 1t now was working on sub
zones to provide for ration adjust
ments in localities where the climate
had been found to be unusual.
The zones, according to OPA, were
established after a study of Weather
Bureau reports covering 43-year
period.
Rationing will be based on the
maintenance of q 65-degree day.
time temperature. Thus a house
holder in Zone A will receive much
more oil than a householder in
Zone D.
The zones as set up for some
States follow:
Zone A-Maine, New Hampshire
and Vermont.

B. Hershey, director of selective

ter to Chairman Tydings Of the

mittee,, which asked for a survey
Of such cases.
Gen. Hershey reported today that
complete data has been assembled
in 681 of the 891 deferment cases
submitted by the committee.
"Of this number" he wrote, "170
or approximately Is per cent, are
now in class 1-C, as being members
of the armed forces. In 101, or ap-
proximately Is per cent of the cases
the deferment granted has expired
and the classifications are now un-
der consideration. In all likeli-
hood the majority of these cases will
be classified in la, as available for
military service.

In class IA, available for induc-
ton; IA are in class 1-B, available

objectors available for assignment

This makes total of $50 regis
trants who are either in the armed
forces, Or in all likelihood are avail
able for induction at the present
time. This shows a percentage of
approximately 81 per cent of the 68l
cases on which investigation has
been completed out of the total of
89l which were referred by your
committee.
This large percentage of regis
trants either in the armed forces or
available for service has in all prob
ability been occasioned by two fac
tors: First. the original deferment
granted having expired, the local
boards are Of the opinion that no
further deferment is warranted; and
second, the general Tightening -up
process, due to the fact that this
country is now in a state OF war
whereas at the time deferments were
originally granted, registrants were
called for training and only in a
limited number.
Majority of Remainder Justified.
Prom casual observation of the
remaining cases in which deferment
has been granted it would appear
that the vast majority of these is
warranted. However, careful check
will necessarily have to be made
before . definite conclusion can be
reached"
Senator Tydings told the Senate
the, survey was requested because
the committee thought an unusual
number OF men under 26 years of
age had been deferred as indis-
pensable in Government service
Gen. Hershey said he would report
on the remaining cases later.

After U. S. Agent Tells
Of Making Purchases
BULLETIN,

NEW YORK, Sept. % P.-
. Louis King, now serving a
prison term as trifhcker in
narcotics, interrupted the
narcotics conspiracy trial of
Sam Macho, Galveston CTex.)
political leader and night club
operator, in Federal Court to-
day and pleaded guilty to the
conspiracy charge.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-John
j. Esch.. Federal narcotics agent,
described the .ramifications of a
huge narcotics ring in Federal
Court today as testimony in. the
trial of Sam Maceo, Galveston
(Tex) political leader and night
club operator, began before Fed
eral Judge Francis G. Caffey and
a jury.
Maceo and two co-defendants are
accused of participation in a con-
spiracy to import, transport, con-
ceal and sell narcotics. The in
dictment, naming 88 defendants,
was filed in 1888, but the case has
been disposed of as to majority
of the defendants.
In April, 1887, the agent testi-
fed, while working in cooperation
with a Government informer, he
registered at a midtown Manhattan
hotel as DR.. Peter j. Swanson OF
Jacksonville, Fla, and posed as 4
prospective purchaser Of large guam
titles OF drugs.
An informer, Mr.. Esch testified,
soon brought him into contact with
two men, who described themselves
as the uptown organization Mr..
Esch said that he met the two men
in shoe repair shop after walk
ing several blocks along Ninth ave-
nue., under instructions. so that
they could look me over"
The meeting, Mr.. Esch related, re-
suited in his purchasing $110 worth
of crude opium and a promise that
the uptown organization could
supply him with any type of mar

House Member Hits
War Department 0. K.
Of Louis-Conn Fiqht
O'TooIe Asks Inquiry
To See if Fuvoritism
Is Shown Some Soldiers
By the Associated Press.

Representative O'Toole, Demo-
crat, Of New York told the House
today the War Department was
making a mockery of this war
by permitting the Joe Louis
Billy Conn heavyweight cham
pionship bout next month, and
called for a congressional in
vestigation to determine if IA
voritisrn was being shown GER
tain members OF the armed
forces.
The New Yorker said Louis and
Conn, both members Of the Army
had been released to engage in the
bout for which they would receive
compensation.
This is evidently the beginning
Of a new policy on the part of the
War Department" Mr.. OToole said
Sees Principle Established.
"Any member of the armed forces
who at the time of his induction or
enlistment owed money to any in
dividual may now obtain leave and
return to his former civilian occupa-
ton for the purpose of raising funds
to pay this indebtedness. The only
obligation on the enlisted man given
such leave is that he donate Ger
tain part of his compensation to
charity.
What mockery we are making
Of our Army and of charity. The
United States Army is being used
for the first time to guarantee obli-
cations that are owed to fight pro-
moter! Why is it not possible for
the man who has enlisted and whose
wife must now work in order to
keep herself and her family to have
this leave?
why cannot the doctor or other
professional man who is in the serv-
ice obtain similar leave to pay his
obligations? There can be no scold-
ing of the civilian for his lack OF
morale when the Army itself fails
to recognize that there is a war and
the seriousness of it.
Would Stop Procedure.
"Let us stop all of these theatrical
performances, football games, pug
ilistic encounters and devote our
selves and our fighting men to the
successful termination of the war.
Mr.. O'Toole suggested that COM
mittee Of seven House members be
set up to ascertain whether or not
favoritism is being shown to certain
of1cers, non-commissioned ofiicers
and enlisted men in permitting them
to engage in their former civilian
pursuits and allowing them to re-
ceive compensation for the same,
and further to investigate whether
the War Department is allowing the
use OF ofdcers, non-commissioned
officers and enlisted mems services
to guarantee debts owed to certain
citizens of the United States not in
the armed services"

House Votes

In Parity Prices
Bloc Scores Victory
Over Administration
On Higher Ceilings
STORY on Poee A-D
BULLETIN,

The farm bloc won a major
victory over the administra-
tion late today when the
House voted into anti-infla-
tion legislation a requirement
that farm labor costs be in
cluded in computing agricul-
tural parity prices-thereby
permitting higher farm price
ceilings.
The standing vote, taken
after Democratic Leader Nc
Cormack of Massachusetts had
forecast a presidential veto If
such an amendment was writ
ten into the bill, was 1853 to
los.
BY the Associated Press.
Administration Leader Bark
ley asked the Senate today to
postpone further consideration
OF the anti-inflation bill until
tomorrow while an effort was
made to compose differences"
arising over an amendment pro-
posed by the farm bloc.
AN effort is being made to COM
pose differences with regard to this
biH,' Senator Barkley said, when
the bill was about to come up for
vote at the conclusion of debate.
/ think progress has been made
and will be made" Senator Barkley
continued. Il think it would be
helpful If the Senate would adjourn
until tomorrow to give time for
this effort"
After a brief discussion over pro-
cedure, the Senate accepted Senator
Barkley's suggestion and quit for
the day with the understanding
that leaders on both sides of the
parity issue would meet early to-
morrow 20 try to work out language
agreeable to both sides.
Thomas Opposes Delay.
Immediately after Senator Bark
ley's request, Senator Thomas,
Democrat, OF Oklahoma, arose to
say, I'VE were ready for d vote yes-
terday and we are ready for a vote
now"
Senators Thomas and Hatch,
Democrat, New Mexico, were the
authors of the amendment to pro-
vide higher parity ceilings for agri-
cultural commodities. They in
sisted that increased farm labor
costs should be taken into con-
sideration in computing the parity
base which is the peg for ceilings
under the pending bill. 1t was to
this amendment that Senator
Barkley referred.
Il realize an effort is being made
to bring about some modification Of
this amendment" Senator Thomas
said, "but such modification is
not agreeable to me-"
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio,
then sought to call up bill to in
crease from $500 900 900 to $780,
100000 the authorization for war
housing.
House Bloc Joins Fight.
Representing the House farm
group, Representative Brown, DEM
ocrat. OF Georgia proposed to insert
in the measure an amendment read
ing:
Parity prices and comparable
prices for any agricultural commod-
ity shall be determined as author
lied by existing law but shall also
include all farm labor"
In connection with administra-
ton efforts to defeat the proposal
to increase parity prices, the Once
of Price Administration said it
would add $1,000 900 600 to $3,500,-
600 900 annually to the overall cost
of living
A redefinition of parity was pro-
posed in the original House anti
imitation bill offered by Representa-
tive Steagall of Alabama, chairman
of the House Banking Committee,
but was stricken out by the COM
