ASKS JUSTIFICATION
That was the picture drawn BY
Senator Alexander Wiley (R) OF
Wisconsin. today. as he called
upon Petroleum Co-ordinator
Harold l.. Ickes to Justify his ra-
tioning OF fuel oil for the central
states.
Senator Wiley made public a
letter he had received from John
Nukom, chief of the fuel oil
branch of the Office of Price
Administration. in which Nukom
admitted:
"You are correctly informed
that there IL no actual shortage
of fuel Oil I'm this country"
Nukom informed the senator
that rationing OF fuel oil in the
East was necessitated by an
acute transportation shortage.
PEOPLE WORRIED
Nukom said that officials in the
.OPA found understandable" the
anxiety of people facing winter.
particularly in those northern
states" and that their concern
about the health and comfort Of
children. the infirm and aged was
equally understandable.
In his letter calling on lckes to
Justify the rationing program,
Wiley said:
1T Is elementary that. since
oil IN less bulky than coal, II
cuts the volume OF delivery, and
saves tires and gasoline In de-
livery to the homes.'
The senator informed Ickes that
Virtually all the towns on Lake
Michigan are supplied all petro-
leum products by barge. He asked
Ickes for specific data on which the
rationing order was based.

FOOTBALL, a kind of linn
tied war without guns, is
played by contestants OF
whom the vast majority range
between the ages of Is and
u. 1t has been said, with con-
siderable reason. that if a man
can play through a major col
lege football season, he will be
better equipped to endure the
hardships and tolls of war.
From the point of view OF
the nation, youngsters who
have just completed high
school and have not ordinarily
married or found important
positions in industry, can be
spared for military service
with much less hardship and
dislocation of the machinery
of production than older men.
From the point of view of the
services, men of these ages
constitute ideal recruits.
Youth is a formative season
when new ideas are quickly
learned and soon become a
permanent part Of the equip
ment of the individual. Innu-'
merable experiments in many
of the worlds armies have
shown that youngsters acquire
the tactics and techniques of
the military profession much
more quickly than older men.
Young soldiers are noted in
fact and story for their dash,
initiative and daring.
Since the dawn of history
young men have taken to war
like ducks TO water.
BOYS REACHED maturity
at an early age on the from
tier. Much of the fighting OF
our revolution was done by
soldiers who would be attend
ing grammar school in our
generation. Andrew Jackson
was a private in Washington's
army at ID.
The following year he was
captured by the British, but
this did not seem to dampen
his ardor for battle. Old Hick-
DRY kept right on fighting
after his release and when he
was 48 won the Battle of New
Orleans, decisive triumph Of
the War of 1872.
Jackson fought in practi-
cally every war and skirmisn
on-tAe North American con-
tinent from his thirteenth
year until his seventy-eighth,
when he died.
The war between the states.
both on northern and south
ern side, was fought largely
by boys in their teens or Just
out of them. The, Compile de
Paris, who wrote an eight
volume history of that strug-
gle, estimated the average age
Of Grants army at just under
II and that of Lees a wear or
two younger. Both these
forces compiled records for
vslor and efficiency seldom
equalled. never surpassed.
