Eastman Made Car

Private Autos Included
In Executive Order
DeIegotinq Power

President Roosevelt today con-
ferred on Joseph B. Eastman,
transportation director, full au-
thority and responsibility for
policies pertaining to the con-
troll and conservation of all rub
ber-tired transportation facili-
ties, including private autos.
In an executive order increasing
the power of the Office of Defense
Transportation over the Nations
transport facilities, the President
further directed that all other de-
partments and agencies dealing
with conservation or use of rubber
borne carriers shall conform to poll
cies and measures prescribed by
Mr.. Eastman.
Mr.. Eastman said he understood
the primary purpose of the order
was to permit his office to determine
the policies governing controls over
automobiles.
Mr.. Eastman told reporters, how
ever, he had not seen the completed
executive order. But he said he
believed that it provided for "close1
control over all rubber-b borne trans
portation"
To a question whether that IN
cluded control over private pas
senger cars, Mr.. Eastman replied
that this probably would be done
through some form of rationing O!
tires and gasoline.
He was unable to say whether il
was planned to restrict the use Of
cars otherwise.

.|ckes' Gas Cut
Proposals Due
Tomorrow
Declares Reserve
Stocks Have Been
Drawn On Severely

BY the Associated Press.
Petroleum Co-ordinator Ickes
told a congressional committee
today that, if necessary to pre-
serve the Nations petroleum
stocks, "non-eSsential motoring,
boating and flying must be cut
right through the bone into the
very marrow"
Testifying before a special House
committee investigating the petro-
leum situation, MIR. Ickes said the
supply situation in the East had
been under continuous study and,
'on the basis of these studies, we
expect to be able to make recon-
mendations tomorrow as to the de-
gree of gasoline curtailment which
we believe is necessary for the East
coast at the present time"
Chairman Lea asked Mr.. Ickes
about the statement by a Price Ad-
ministration spokesman that a gas
oline ration as low as az gallons a
week might be required. Mr.. Ickes
said that was an inaccurate guess
and added:
Whoever was responsible for that
preferred to remain anonymous
and I don't blame him"
He remarked, too, that the state
ment had not come from Leon Hen
derson, price administrator.
East Coast rationing should not

said, unless it became a problem Of
saving tires.
Situation Grows Worse.
Recalling that he had appeared
before the same committee 10 weeks
ago, Mr.. Ickes said the situation
then was not good" and since
then it has become worse"
inventories of crude oil and pc
troleum products on February IA,
he said, were 1871 900 barrels below
what they had been year ago and
on April II they had fallen to 15,-
218,0OO barrels below.
Pointing out that as a result, re-
serve stocks had been drawn on
heavily, Mr.. Ickes told the commit
tee that I'VE cannot continue to
draw on these stocks indefinitely, or
we should one day run entirely out
and should then be entirely de-
pendent upon our shrunken day
to-day supplies" .-..-

Jacob Yoki, 63-year-old carpenter
of $40 Eighth street Sc, whose mu-
tilated body was found Saturday in
a wooded section off Kenilworth
avenue just beyond the District line,
was probably" the victim of a saw
age attack by pack of dogs, DR..
James I. Boyd, Prince Georges
County coroner, said today.
DR.. Boyd issued a certificate at
tributing the mans death to 'lacer-
ations, hemorrhage and shock"
Police expressed the belief that
Mr.. Yoki was asleep in the woods
when attacked by the dogs.
Hyattsville police said the incident
has precipitated numerous COM
plants by residents of the area con-
corning attacks on them by packs
of dogs" No complaints had been
made before the discovery of the
body according to police.
One resident of the area said there
are several packs of wild dogs in
the county but that he did not
know of any attack on a human
being.
A number of children in the area
have been bitten by individual dogs
recently, he said, and a large
amount Of livestock has been killed
by dogs In recent months.

He said:
II recognize the necessity for the
appointment from civil life of some

Il do, however, intend to stop the
commissioning of a man of no par

happens to be socially or politically
prominent and the drafting into the

"An examination of my mail will

highly resentful of it.
