MAY REDUCE GAS
 PRICE INCREASE
2H Cents Per Gallon Rise in East May Even Be
 Eliminated
BY FILLER KRIEGHBAUM

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Washington, July 16-(UP)-The 2 1-2 cents per gallon gasoline price increase in the east will be reduced-or possibly eliminated en- tirely-by government subsidies to meet increased transportation costs to the rationed area price admin .gtrat;oE officials predicted today.
 Details of the effect of the sub sidy on the price boost have not been worked out, but Sen. Richard B. Russell, D., Ga, was so sure it would eliminate the increased cost of gasoline that he withdrew an amendment to an appropriation bill which would have nullified enforce ment of the order.
 Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones announced that the defense supplies corporation would finance the added costs of moving fuel oil, gasoline and v;her petroleum prod ucts by tank car and pipe line rather than the cheaper pre-War tanker method. OPA officials said that If the subsidy will take care of the present deficit in the petroleum pool, as well as future costs, the entire increase would be revoked.
 Price Administrator Leon Tender son authorized the additional charge for gasoline after costs had mounted rapidly and the OPA was unable to get feeral subsidies. Jones' an- nouncement added oil to two other commodities sugar and coal whose increased transportation costs are being paid by the, public treas ury.
 Jones said the action was taken to assure enough fuel oil to keep homes heated this winter along the east coast. But war production board officials predicted that even the subsidy would not prevent some curtailment in heating fuel which may force civilians to keep their homes at temperatures below 68 degrees.
 On another fuel front, the sen- ate prepared to Spead passage of a bill to improve petroleum transpor- tation to the entire east coast area

SHIP SCHEDULES
 TO BE 0VERHAULED
Cargo Space So Scarce Bundles for Britain to
 Be Curtailed
Bazaar Draws Crowds
By JOHN A. REICHMANN United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

Washington, July 16-(UP)-A thorough overhauling of shipbuild- ing and shipping schedules was forecast in United Nations circles today coincident with an announce ment that cargo space is so scarce that the Bundles for Britain" cam- paign will be curtailed.
 Expressing worry over the Ger man submarine menace against needs of global warfare, officials said these steps probably would be taken shortly:
 1. An increased speed and effi- ciency in the production of cargo and troop ships.
 2. Development of new means to combat submarines.
 3. Reduction of cargo space given over to civilian needs.
 The cut-down in the amount of civilian goods now filling the holds of many ships travelling the sea- lanes to Britain was announced in an exchange of letters between Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Roosevelt.
 CIlurcIill expressed BIdIAluuc AoA the "bTotherly flow of material for Britain's comfort in days of suf- fering and of trial" but said it must be diminished to make room for the enormously increased flow Of war materials for which ocean transport has to be provided"
 Pass on Shipment
 He disclosed that a committee, headed by former British Ambassa- dor to the U. S., Sir Ronald Lind say, has been set up in London to pass on shipment of gifts.
 MT. Roosevelt. replying to Church. Ills letter, promised cooperation with the committee.
 Efforts on the other two shipping fronts - increased production and more efficient anti-submarine activ- ities-were more secret agitation over the problems has been more keen in Britain than in this coun- try, and parliament has scheduled a secret debate on the subject.
 But 1t is known that the joint

lshlpplng allocasions miIion, repre- sented here by Admiral Emory g. Land and Sir Arthur 6allter, is giv- ing serious consideration to all shipping problems.
 Interest here has eentered on ship losses oil the Atlantic seaboard. but since Britain has not published her losses for several months the complete picture is not known. Losses around the British Isles and on the supply routes to Soviet Arc tic ports and the Red Sea-Persian Gulf area may be just as serious.
 Britain already has made public one step in combating submarines -intensihed aerial attacks on U-boat building centers and bases Tn one daylight raid on Augsburg site of a Diesel engine factory, the objective was hit but only with the loss of seven of the 12 large bomb- CTS participating. Another raid. a l.7o0 mile flight to Danzig, also was aimed at submarine base.
