sc inaccurate that the enemy shot
down many of their own barrag'
balloons. The American bombers
were faster than any japanese
fighters sent aloft to intercept
them except the Japanese Zeros.
The raid covered an area 40
miles long and five TO 20 miles
wide, Doolittle said, and extended
from the north of Toxic down
south to Kanagawa. Yokohama
and the navy yard at Yokosuka.
Bombs also were dropped on
Nagoya, Osaka and Kobe.

Doolittle revealed virtually all
details of the raid that he knew
except where the two-engined

bombers took off, where they
landed and how many were in

any one else whether they started
their hazardous and important"
flight from China, aircraft car
riers or a secret base.
PRESIDENTS WORDS
For the present every one let
President Roosevelt's words on
that subject stand-that the
planes started from Shangri-La
and land ID at Shangri-La.
At least one partner of the Axis
appears to be wondering where
Shangri-La is. A German radio
broadcast last night, describing
Doolittle's raid, reported that it
started from Shangri-La, which
was not otherwise described by
President Roosevelt.
Doolittle revealed at his press
conference some hitherto unknown
details about the raid. First he
spiked Japanese claims that some
of the American raiders had been
shot down.
There were no planes left In
Japan" he said. "Some were
damaged, hut none was shot
down and none was damaged TO
ar extent that precluded its
proceeding TO its destination"
Doolittle, who was attacked by
nine Japanese fighters but avoided
them before either the enemy or
his own gunners could fire a shot,
revealed that he issued special in
StTuctions 10 his men before taking
off that the Imperial Palace in
Toxic was to be spared.

FUTURE OF AUTOS

The Office of Emergency Man
agement warned that some TO-
100000 automobiles may be forced
off the highways within another
II to Is months, if peacetime
driving is continued.
Officials hope by restricting the
use OF cars at the present time 10
keep tires in good shape for pos
lsible future requisitioning for mill
tary and essential transportation
purposes, such as transportation
of thousands of workers to war
plants.
If nationwide rationing is in
Stituted, some officials believe il
would make unnecessary the con-
struction of a pipeline to ease the
East Coast gasoline situation.
Tank cars and trucks would be
released from other areas for
transporting petroleum into the IL
states shortage area from Maine
TO Florida.
President Roosevelt advocates
that a pooling arrangement would
divert tank cars and trucks for
such a purpose. The Chief Execu-
tive indicated the further extern
sion of rationing with the declara-
ton that the eastern seaboard
shortage should be regarded as a
national problem.

PIPELINE PROJECTS

Pending a decision on national
rationing of gasoline. work is con-
tinuing on one of six pipeline re-
location projects-using second
hand pipes-designed to alleviate
the shortage stricken eastern area.
WPB officials remain firmly OPP
posed to Ickes' proposal for a new
pipeline from Texas TO New York
because of steel plate--
The President said that such a
pipeline would have been in oper-
alton now, If il had not been
blocked by the state of Georgia.
He added that the two possibilities
now under consideration are pipe
lines running clear up the East
Coast or across the state of Flor
ida to the inland waterway pas
sage to the north.

PLENTY OF OIL

Millions of motorists figuratively
live within a stones throw of oil
wells, refineries and pipelines.
Congressional leaders, including
House Speaker Sam Rayburn
have limited at the reception that
nationwide & soline rationing
might receive in certain sections
of the country. Rayburn declared
that such a program would be
nonsense"
Proponents of the plan EN-
phasiZed, however, that the supply
of gasoline and oil is not an issue
in the situation. The necessity OF
conserving rubber is the sole fac
tor which may lead the WPB 10

Pipeline Urged to End
Danger at Spot Where
Child Was Drowned

Possibility of constructing a pipe
vert at Jefferson avenue and Thirty
ninth street, where 3-year-old Char
lotte Dunn was drowned during a
heavy rain about a month ago, was
under study today by Hyattsville's
Mayor and Council.
After a petition signed by 70 resi-
dents of the area urging elimination
of the death trap" was presented
to the Council last night, Mayor E.
Murray Grover appointed a four
man committee to investigate con-
ditions there.
Members of the committee are
w. M. Miller, chairman; Wilson
Spicknall, George O'Hara and
Thomas E. Arnold.
The petition, presented by H. M.
Moore, said that the culvert, which

Hyattsville businessmen were
urged by the council to put their
trash in containers instead of
sweeping it into the street after
the street cleaners have passed.
Members of the council explained
that the street cleaners finish their
work about 6 am. Owners of bust

HAGERSTOWN, Md, Aug. Ii
The twofold duty of fighting with
all our power against the foreign
enemies" and sustaining "our cher
ished liberties and the two-party
system of government at home" rests
on the Republican party in Mary
land, Theodore r. McKeldin said
last night.
Addressing the Women's Repub-
lican Club of Washington County,
the Baltimore attorney, who will
oppose w. Pinkney West, jr., for
the gubernatorial nomination in the
September primary. said it was ito
aid this patriotic effort rather than
to forward any personal ambition
that I became candidate"
Mr.. McKeldon said the duty de-
volved on the State Republican
party to maintain "our tWo-party
system of government and to pre-
vent Maryland becoming frozen into
one-party totalitarian State under
Governor who aims at one-man
monopoly.
The present Governor has opened
his campaign with significant re-
pudiation and confession. The re-
pudiation was his callous turning of
the back on his election pledge of
a single term.
The confession was his broadcast
declaration, after 16 years of silence
while the Legislature all those years
is inefficient or worse and should be
purged'
The attorney said the most ef-
fective purge can be assured by en-
trusting the task not to those who
created or tolerated, but to those
who have opposed those conditions. "

Alexandra Expects
$4,000 School Grant

The prospects Of Alexandria re-
ceiving an additional $4,000 of Fed
eral funds for the 1912 school bud
get look brighter today, according
to City Manager Carl Budwesky.
Mr.. Budwesky and School Supt.
T. C. Williams met yesterday with
Henry j. Sullivan, Federal Works
Agency regional engineer, to pre-
sent their reasons why the city
needs the money allocated under
the Lanham Act to carry on its
school program.
According to Mr.. Budwesky, the
school budget figures and the citys
financial statement were sufficient
to convince officials that Alexan-
dria is carrying heavy burden
due to the influx of war workers
who use the facilities of the city
but in most cases pay no taxes. Mr..
Sullivan has requested a written
statement of the facts presented
at the meeting, but assured Mr..
Budwesky that the city could ex-
pect the $4,000 allotment.
Alexandria already has received
$4,000 in Federal funds for it's 1912
school budget, but had been prom
ised 100000 and there was ques-
ton as to whether or not the ball
ance would be paid.
A further request for Federal
funds is expected to be made by
the city for recreational purposes.

WINCHESTER, Va, Aug. IL
What appears to be an almost un-
limited market for apples of all
grades is offered in the develop
ment of an entirely new apple sirup
by the Eastern regional research
laboratory of the Agriculture De-
partment at Philadelphia. it was
learned here today.
The new sirup is light amber in
color, bland, very sweet and pos
sesses no distinctive flavor. 1t is
intended to take the place of sugar
and also of glycerin.
Senator Byrd, Democrat. of Vir-
ginia, a large apple grower, has
drawn the properties of the sirup to
the attention OF manufacturers of
cigarettes whose supplies of glycerin,
extensively used in tobacco process
ing, have been sharply curtailed for
munitions purposes.

manufacturers appeared to be much

able to repair two 10-foot sections of
concrete curbs and cutters each
