Administration leaders said today
that abolition of the civilian con-

government any money.
They predicted President Roose-

to destroy CCC. This action, they
said. would be "the only alterna-

have probably a greater stake in
the outcome than those OF any
other area.
There are two main reasons why
the gasoline situation is so import
ant here. First, the region is a
heavy producer of petroleum pro-
ducts which inevitably means pro-
duction of a large amount OF gas
Oline, whether it is needed or not,
Second. the SpraWling nature OF
the metropolitan area and the in
adequacy or rail transport causes

NECESSITY DISPUTED
Washington's explanation that
gasoline rationing is necessary to
save rubber has not yet been ac-
cepted here Manchester Boldly,
publisher of the Los Angeles Daily

vigorous campaign 10 gather ana

The most authentic balance
sheet Boldly said. lis condenSa-
ton of the actual testimony given
by Leon Henderson himself only a
month or so ago
According TO Henderson'S testi-
mony, there will be an over-supply
of rubber after furnishing all that
is needed for the u S. military pro-
gram. for all U. S. lend-lease COM
mitments, for export to South
America, for essential U S. civilian
demands, and for export to the
rest of the non-Axis world
24-MONTH SUPPLY
With these essential needs cared
for, Boldly contends, reclaimable
scrap could be used to keep civilian
cars rolling for "a months.
Existing reclamation facilities
factories that do not need a single
square foot of new equipment-are
capable of converting the scrap
rubber into material that will sup
ply 126000.000 recapped tires for
civilian use.
This statement is authentic and
verified. in short. it is easily
possible TO provide 289,000, 900 tires

ments listed in Leon HendersonS

completely fooled the Governor.
And that day they received

from the land Hathaway went
below and lifted the hatch above
O'Reilly.
The Gazelle's next landfall was

the crew would give his pas
senger away. So O'Reilly was
transferred to the Sapphire of
Boston. Bombay to Liverpool,
carrying the papers and name of
one John Soule, a deserter from
the Gazelle.
Aboard the Sapphire O'Reilly
fell in with an Englishman
named Bailey who helped him
find a safe hiding place in Liver
pool and later passage as third
mate in the ship Bombay to
Philadelphia.
He landed i'm Philadelphia on
November 23, 1869, and the first
thing he did was apply for his
first naturalization papers.
But he didn't forget his
friends in Australia. He got a

lost no time in contracting Feni-

BY 1876 he had become part
owner of the Boston Pilot. He
also had a wife and family.
Hathaway was retired from the
sea and was chief of police Of
New Bedford.
Then John Devoe. another
exile from Ireland, came to
O'Reilly with the maddest plan

meant an outlay of $4,000, a
