RUSSIAN 'FRONT.':

The gloom Of Russia's military

correspondents in Moscow were per-
mitted to cable the news that the
German air force had secured vir-

leaguered city of Stalingrad. key in
dustrial and communications center

pessimistic report was the news that

GAS RATIONINC:
President Acts

For weeks silvery-haired Bernard
M. Baruch and co-members of the
Presidents special rubber commit
tee had labored over the problem Of
what to do about the nations stead
lily diminishing rubber supply.
When the committee handed Mr.
Roosevelt its report, the President
was ready for action.
First, he announced that "as rap
idly as arrangements can be made"
he would put into effect a set Of
recommendations submitted by the
committee, including nationwide
gasoline r~ationing and drastic re-
strictions on civilian motoring.
Made public in the Presidents an
nouncement were additional steps
recommended by the committee
which included:
A 35-mile speed limit for passen-
ger cars and trucks; an average
annual mileage of 5000 miles per
car, permitted only for necessary
driving; release of more rubber to
the public for recapping old tires to
maintain necessary civilian driving;
imposition of gasoline rationing ma
tionally on the basis Of 5000 miles
per year per car; compulsory peri
odic tire inspections; voluntary tire
conservation pending establishment
Of gas rationing.
Submitted with the committees
recommendations was the blunt dec
laration that rubber conservation
was now a matter of "discomfort
or defeat"

DOUBLE-TIME PAY:
Curbed by FDR

Penalty double time" pay for
millions Of industrial workers was
abolished for the duration Of the

signed an executive order banning

The Presidents action thus invali-
dated contracts in which employers
were required to pay workers dou-
BILE time for work on Saturdays or
holidays, even though these days
fell within the regular five-day work
week.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he had taken
the step in line with an understand

NONRESIDENT ANGLERS Can
TAKE ONE Days Limit HOME
Only Undressed Fish May be
Shipped, Conservation
Dept. Warns.

Nonresident fishermen in Mime
sofa should bear in mind that they
cannot legally take home with them
more than one daily limit of fish,
according to Verne E. Joslin, director
of game and fish. Joslin states that
the warning is issued to clear up a
prevalent misunderstanding regard
ing this point.
The law states that "such non-resi-
dent shall be authorized to transport
or carry with him to any point beyond
the boundaries of the state not to ex-
coed one daily limit of fish of any
variety"
For walleyed pike this limit is eight.
A resident fisherman may have not
to exceed II walleyed pike in posses
sion at any time and a nonresident
may also have possession limit of IL
while in Minnesota, but he cannot
carry with him beyond the boundaries
of the state more than eight.
In addition, however, nonresident
may ship home by common carrier in
any one season not to exceed 20
pounds of fish.
Non-residents are again cautioned
that "Only undressed fish may be
shipped, transported or carried" "Un-
dressed" means fish with the heads,
tails, fins, scales and skins intact, but
does not prohibit the removal of en-
trails and gillS. Residents of Mime
sofa may carry their fish dressed if
they wish.
