Fuel Oil Users Urged
To Send Applications
10 Local Boards
D. G. Rotioning Officer
Also Reports Many Are
Sending in Wrong Forms

Application for fuel oil rations
should Be sent to the local Wal
Price and Rationing Board located
IN the area in which the applicant
resides, L. p. Steuart, rationing Of
ficer for the District, emphasized
today.
Mr.. Steuart said many persons
are making the mistake Of sending
the applications to the executive Of
fices at S60l Connecticut avenue.
IT application Is not made at the
proper board" he pointed out, this
results in several days delay, as ap-
plication must then be forwarded
to the applicants area board"
Mr.. Steuart also reported that nu-
merous applications for fuel oil ra-
tions were made out on the wrong
form, which meant they had to be
returned. causing further delay.
Four Consultations.
There are four classifica tons un-
der which persons must apply for
fuel oil rations, Mr.. Steuart said.
They are:
l. Private dwellings-This is COW
cred by OPA form R-110O and
should be used by persons making
applications for fuel oil and kero-
sene ration for heat and domestic
hot water for private dwellings,.
2. Other than private dwellings,
including multiple dwellings. This
group is covered by OPA form R.
ll0l and should be used in making
application for fuel oil and kerosene
ration for heat and hot water for
premises other than private dwell
ings, including multiple dwellings
IN which less than 10 per cent of the
moor space Is used for residential
purposes. The term multiple dwell
ing includes hotels, boarding and
rooming houses.
Industrial Forms.
3. Industrial, commercial and
governmental uses-This group is
embraced in OPA form R-l102 and
should be used by persons operating
trucks. tractors, non-highway We
nicles and watercraft, mobile or sta
tionary equipment supplying live
steam, hot water or hot air to all or
part OF 4 building or structure
other than one in which the equip

coIored U. 5. Official
Says Railway Refused
Him Service in Diner
Fair Practice Aid Asks
lCC for Order Against
Southern and Dumoqes

Charging that he was refused
service IN a dining car on 4 South
ern Railway train bound from
Washington to Atlanta. Elmer w.
Henderson, colored, 4 field repre-
sentative Of the Fair Employment
Practice Committee, yesterday asked
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to require the carrier to furnish
equal and just dining car facilities
to members OF his race, and to grant
him reasonable and just damages. I"
In May, according to the petition
er, while he was travelling by Pull
man, he was refused service either at
tables reserved for colored because
white passengers occupied some OF
the seats, or elsewhere in the diner.
The dining car steward, he said, Of
fered to serve him either at his seat
IN the Pullman or. after white pas
sengers had left, in the diner. The
upshot. he said, was that the diner
was taken of Of the train before he
could eat.
The petitioner said he was greatly
embarrassed and Inundated by the
incident" which, he added, was tn
contravention of his constitutional
rights and in violation OF the Inter-
state Commerce Act.
In addition to the damages, Mr..
Henderson asks that the railroad be
required to discontinue the practice
OF segregating dining car tables for
colored passengers by curtains.
In a somewhat similar case two
years ago, instituted by Representa-
tive Arthur w. Mitchell, colored
Democrat, Of Illinois, the Supreme
Court ruled that colored passengers
were entitled to equal accommoda-
ton with whites. Mr.. Mitchells suit
grew out of the refusal Of q Rock
Island conductor to allow him to
use Pullman accommodations from
Memphis to Hot Springs because OF
the Arkansas Jim Grow" law.

Henderson works was set up to curb
racial discrimination in war indus

JAPANESE HAVE
STRONG FLEET
CONTINUED from Page y

ton in the year before the Pearl
Harbor attack.
Present Strength Unknown
The present strength Of the Japa-
nese fleet is dif6cult to estimate.
Experts here pointed out that
there is no way Of knowing how
many Of the ships claimed by the
allies as probably sunk actually
were. Furthermore some Of the
damaged ships may now be repair
ed. They pointed out that the U. s.
Destroyer Shaw originally listed as
q complete loss at Pearl TIarbor--is
being repaired and soon will be back
in service.
At best, II is only possible to
breakdown pre-war Japanese naval
strength and list the Allied claims
for each category. Such a break
down, based ON The best available
knowledge here, follows:
Battleships-13, including two
$1,000 ton craft believed to have
been completed In 1941.
One battleship, the Harlna, was
sunk, and two others damaged.
Cruisers-46, including IS heavy
cruisers. United Nations forces
claim to have sung at least FIVE,
probably sunk five more, and dam
aged at least IS. This apparently
would indicate that about half ia
pans cruiser strength was hit but
some naval experts believed the
Japanese may have had as many as
10 cruisers when they went to war.
Aircraft carTiers--12, including
two understood to have been COM
pleted in 1941. This figure does not
include merchant ships converted
into plane carriers or the six sea-
plane tenders safe to eb in service
One of the converted ships, q liner
of the crack Yawata class, was
sunk by U. S. naval forces. Aroth-
err, type not designated, was listed
as probably sunk and two others as
damaged.
Destroyers-137, Of which 30 were
old-type craft, some built before the
last war. The U. S. Army ard Navy
claim to have sunk 10 while the
Dutch claim five. In addition, six
we're listed as probably sunk and
nine as damaged or believed dam
aged.
Submarines-77, of which nearly
20 are plane-carrierS. None OF these,
however, are the midget type SUBJ
marines which participated in the
attack on Pearl Harbor. Nine SUBJ
marines, including two midget craft,
have been lost, on the basis Of U.
| s. and Dutch claims. In addition,
one is claimed as probably lost and
another as damaged.
Some sources here estimate that
Japanese submarine strength Is
close to 1875 and that good many
Of these are long-range craft.
These same sources said they I'M
derstood the Japanese were build
ing five pocket battleships, ranging
between $4,000 and 10000 tons,
which were scheduled for compile
ton this year.
Most of Japan's capital ships are
old. Eight were commissioned be-
fore 1920.

conferences which he must hold.
These include talks on the inn

tralian fighting forces and the COM
plete unification of United Nations
Army, Navy and air forces for de-
Tense against the encroaching Japa-
nese wave and the Allied offensive
in the months to come.
Take Fight to Japan
MacArthur'S presence is now taken
by Australia as an implied guaran-
tee that its own soil will be safe
guarded and that from here the
Allied armies will pour northward to
take, the fight to Japan.
Macarthur will stay with his wife
and four year-old son Arthur, at
the Menzies Hotel for the inme-
date present, 1t was understood.
Many Melbourne residents offered
their homes to Macarthur and his
family but he declined.
Brett arranged for Macarthur to
see Army Minister Forde, Air Min
lister Drakeford, Navy Minister N.
o. j. Maxim and United States SER
vice chiefs, and later to meet Prime
Minister Curtin and attend the Aus
italian war cabinet session.
1t was reported that one Of Nc
Arthur's first activities would be
to inspect army forces. Australian
as well as American fighting men
looked forward keenly to seeing the
man who is to lead them.
Macarthur will discuss with Curtin
the entire problem Of Allied strategy,
coordination of resources in men
and equipment and reorganization
of the Australian army.

Michael A. Conner Is a member Of

Not Officially Aware
Governor Hurley said he was mot
officially aware Of the qualifications,
If any, which prompted their ap-
pointment."
"A situation of this Sort" he tel
egraphed, "is clearly one which the
parents Of our drafted men will re-
sent. Quite justifiably they will ask,
as IN fact some have already asked
me, why the sons Of other people
are chosen for this special treat
ment rather than their own sons
who have no knowledge Of this
system.
This question is difficult to an
swer. They may even come to doubt
the democratic nature Of process
In which a favored few can acquire
information Of such q vital kind and
thus possibly avoid the rigors Of Sc
lective training and combatant serv-
ice.
Against this most unusual and
unique plan, I feel obliged, as cit
izen and veteran, to protest with
utmost vigor. I recognize the right
of the Army to commission for spe-
cial service any persons whom 1t
thinks necessary to the war effort,
but I think you will agree that CT
villains should not participate in any
stage of the selection Of such
persons"
How They Operate
This is the way the committees
operate, the governor informed
President Roosevelt:
1.-THE qualifications Of all appn-
cants are inisially scrutinized by in
reviewers appointed by the COM
mittees. The qualifications Of the
applicants approved by the inter-
vteww are then examined by the
civilian committee itself. The first
