 Wide Battle Now

WASHINGTON, July "A = The United States is calling all peoples who hope to keep their freedom. to regain lost freedom, or to win new freedom, to help defeat the Axis now.

 Characterizing professions of neu- trality in such conflict as absurd and suicidal" he pictured this as q world wide war to test the caliber of nations and individuals.
 Hull asserted that in this vast conflict, the whole hearted support of Americans is dedicated to those who are; 1. Fighting for preserva- tion of their freedom; 2. Fighting to regain the freedom of which they have been brutally deprived; 3. Fighting for the opportunity to achieve freedom. @

WASHINGTON, July --ASSum- ing that there are few direct questions and answers which will reduce the manpower problem to it's A-B-C's, the War Manpower commission has attempted to do same by giving the following replies:

The W ashington Merry -Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert s. Allen on active dutyo

WASHINGTON Asphyx- jator" Leon Henderson, with a long and deserved reputation for cham pioning the little fellow, got in the opposite corner the other day over deliveries of gasoline. His decision, together with that of War Produc- ton Board moguls, probably means that a lot of little gas stations will go to the wall for good.
 What happened was that Oil Co., ordinator Ickes proposed continu- ance of the present system of de- livering only 50 percent of gas to all stations. Thus if filling sta- tion was buying 4,000 gallons a week normally, it would get 2,000 gallons.
 Ickes argued that this was the fairest system for all concerned, that it was favored by oil and gas men. that it should continue.
 However, the WIPE and Leon Henderson said no. Under Tender sons new gas rationing plan, a filling station can buy gas only &C., cording to the number of rationing coupons it turns in. Thus, the more rationing coupons it collects, the more gas it can buy.
 Ickes contended that this would mean cutthroat price wars, with one station trying to take business away from another. The filling station that had one of the big oil companies behind it would have a better chance of getting the busi- ness, while the independent would be out of luck and forced to close.
 However, some of the WIPE mo- guls argued that a lot of business firms were going to close anyway and some of the filling stations would have to be among them.
