Eastern Gasoline Men
To Debate War Problems
Hy the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-To consider
the wartime problems of retail gaSo-
line dealers, the Executive Commit
tee of the Eastern States Gasoline
Dealers Conference voted yesterday
to call 700 representatives of 100000
Eastern members to meeting JAN
uary 27 in Philadelphia.
The committee said it had re-
quested a meeting with the Office Of
Price Administration in Washing
ton next week to discuss those prob
lens.
Sol A. Herzog, conference counsel,
said an attempt would be made to
Ak the status of dealers for the
duration and to determine how they
might cooperate in defense work.
I'VE have no complaint about
rationing of tires" said Mr.. Herzog,
"although many Of our dealers have
been caught with substan-
tial inventories. We hope to have
tires pooled in given areas and thus
help dealers with investments OF
$4,000 to $4,000. which probably
would be on their hands for three
or four years in some cases, since
the quotas are so small"
He said the committee favored
continuance of the gasoline curfeW
which, he added, would save electric
current usable for defense pur-
poses.

to a multitude OF sufferers and
meets the cry Of need wherever 1t
is heard. It speaks q language

Samaritan who refused to pass by
on the other side, and pauses with
open and generous hand to minis
ter to the suffering.
Its task has never been greater
than it is today. and its appeal to
the people of America to sustain its
beneficent and Christlike work must
be answered by every citizen
Wherever its flag goes. distracted
and distressed people recognize II
as the symbol of a new hape, the
harbinger of better world that
is to be-"

Some 80 priests representing an

tinuance of the church's foreign
mission work of the last Is years in
a dinner held last night IN the vii.
lard Hotel
The affair marked the opening OF
a national home and foreign mis-
sions drive under auspices OF the
Archdiocesan Society for the Propa-
CATION Of the Faith. Catholic mis-
sion Sunday will be marked in
churches here January 18.
Principal speaker was the Most
Rev. Michael ]. Curley, archbishop
of Baltimore and Washington, who
appealed for priests and laymen
alike to be inspired with "a great
love for missions everywhere" He
said that should our mission mind
edness ever grow less, God help the
church in America"
The archbishop stressed the i'm.
portance of home missions and said
that missionary conditions In GER
tain parts Of the country. especially
in the South, were comparable to
missionary needs in some foreign
lands.
Turning to discussion OF the
foreign missions, Archbishop Curley
expressed fears for the safety OF
many American priests and nuns IN
the Pacific war zones. He said there
were one bishop, 200 Jesuit priests
and 126 other American priests IN
the Philippines alone.
Some of these people undoubtedly
have been killed and injured in the
bombings of Manila and other
Philippine towns, he said. He also
spoke of the hardships and harsh
treatment of Catholic churchmen IN
countries overrun by the Germans
in what he termed the greatest
religious war Christianity has ever
known
Msgr. Thomas j. Mcdonnell, ma
tional director of the Society for the
Propagation of the Faith, warned
that the church is passing through
the greatest missionary crisis in its
history and that we in America
must be in the front line trenches

tor Of the society, and the Rev. John
