THE GAS RATIokING PROBLEM

Every effort must be made by pub
lie authority, the railroads, and the
petroleum industry to divert all tank
cars that can possibly be spared into
the service Of the Eostern industrial
field, whose supply of oil and gasoline
is Threatened blythe sinking Of tank
ers. Whether nationwide rotionine Of
petroleum products is necessary, how
ever, may be questioned.
To ration users Of oil and gasoline
in the neiehborhood Of the oil fields of
the Middle West, Southwest, and Po-
cific Coast, where these products ore
carried by pipelines or trucks, would
be unfair to consumers in those ter
ritories and Of no benefit to Atlantic
seoboord househoIders, motorists, or
industries. Moreover the valleys Of
the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, and
other md-continent rivers ore served
by borees carrying oil and gasoline
from lOulSIono, exoS, and Arkansas
fields.
There is plenty Of oil in the United
Stotes; the problem is transportation.
1t might be we'll to ration tank oors in
q foir manner; that is, among the in
dustriol areas Of the United Stotes not
served by borees, trucks, or adequate
pipelines. Areas SO served might be
asked to do without tonk-cor service
in order that there may be no Iet-up in
the vitol war effort SO largely center
ed in North and Eost This, Of course,
includes fuel for the homes and motor

FAN MAIL KING
King (real name, Miller Mac

gives him a slight edge over
Corrigan in the romance depart
ment, now gets about 1900 fan
letters a week. That figure is
not equalled by Clark Gable,
Bob Taylor, Tyrone Power or
Mickey Rooney, and l doubt that
any two of them could beat it.
Only Gene Aubrey has a larger
er-writing fan following.
Credit for the success of the
pictures goes to the stocky, ami
able and smart producer, George
Weeks, who spent 20 years with
Paramount and was general
manager in charge of distribu-
ton when he retired with what
he thought was a lot of money.

monds and South finessed the
queen. The choice of this suit
for development made clear to
West that East probably held
some strength in hearts and al
so the ace ot clubs.
While the spades might be
solid - East's high sign might
mean he held the queen--West
decided not to be in a hurry.
He let the queen of diamonds
win, for it might be necessary
to prevent the declarer from
getting re entry to d u m m y
through diamonds later.
South then led club and
finessed the ten. East let it win,
for he too saw the danger of
relieving the declarer of fur
Their guesses. The next lead was
the jack of diamonds, which
West won.
New West led a small spade,
thankful for East's come on.
South was in with the Jack, and
could not avoid the loss of two
spades and a heart, besides the
king of diamonds and ace of
clubs.
AT another table, where the
same opening lead was made
against three no trump, the king
was put up and East played the
six, his idea being that West
might have the ace-jack, and it
would pay to keep away from
spades until West got in the
lead. The diamond finesse fol-
lowed and West won at once.
He thought the spade suit hope
less, and wanted TO get an &C
tive defense under way before
declarer discovered his UNI
guarded club queen.
He took the diamond lead TO
indicate weakness in hearts
(South had not rebid the suit).
So West shifted to hearts. Thus
attacked, declarer continued
hearts himself and was pleas
antly surprised 10 find that il
developed four tricks and gave
HIM game easily.

the cinematic slums from which
many of Hollywood's great
names have risen.
The first few pictures were
made for about half the amount
a major concern might toss into
a single super-sequence. But
fans were quick to spot certain
distinctive entertainment values.
Corrigan is a virile rooter-tooter
with a lot of western experience
and is benefited by some added
elements of comedy. Terhune is
the versatile stooge and main
stay of the trio. He's an accom-
plished magician, and the best
card manipulation I've ever seen.
He can initiate anything from a
canary to an argument between
Hitler and Hirohito. And his
bayseed dummy, Elmer, asks no
favors of Edgar Bergen's Nc
Carthy.
SAVED FROM OBSCURITY
Besides being appropriately
tall and handsome, John King
has a voice that has begun to top
the western hit-parade and has
won him recording contract
with major disc concern. The
actor is pretty happy about all
this, as you can imagine from his
odd history.
Universal signed him and at
the conclusion of his contract
with Ben Bernie brought him
here in 1887 as a singer, but his
non-vocal efforts at that studio
were climaxed by the starring
dramatic role in "The Road
Back" His contract was bought
by 20th-Fox, which also expect
ed to use him in musicals, but
buried him instead in the Mr..
Motto and Charlie Chan series.
BY that time, Hollywood had
forgotten that King knew how
to sing, and the Range Busters
galloped up just in time to save
him from obscurity.

"The painfully thin British

They had one all important

a raid look like an advance.
And 50 this little force :.

around like a destroyer or

AS correspondent with the

Flora Shawn" by Samuel
Rogers Julian Messner: $2.50)
is subtle, penetrating portrait
of one of the most selfish and
possessive wo men of fiction
since Scarlet O'Hara.
From childhood, Flora Shawn
had beauty, money, charm, and
sufficient intelligence. She used
them all to her best advantage
and to the disadvantage of the
others unfortunate enough to
come in contact with her. Her
great weakness and her funda-
tragedy lay in her refus-
al to accept the reasons for
her basic maladjustment to the
world. She knew them well but
she would never fight them,
it easier to let both her
and half her friend
ships end dissstrously.
Rogers book has an extraor-
binary timeliness, although 1t Is
not in the least concerned with
timely things. Rather he deals
here with a timeless problem,
one of which impedes the prog
ress of the human spirit, gen.
Grafton after generation; the
problem of the absolute escapist
who in his refusal to face real

the wartime economy Of scor-

Every ortificioI barrier on

BUILDING CODE
BUGABoO


consider the field Of construc-
ton. Every stote and munich
polity has its building code.
and these codes vary widely.
The weights Of steel eirders.
the plumbing codes, the cleo
tricoI codes, the prohibitions
against pre- fabricated housing
all these differ in practically
all communities. Today. the
supply Of many building ma
terioIs is so limited that con-
struction for other than de-
fense purposes is practically
prohibited where the codes in
fIexibIy require the use OF crit
icoI materials, even though
technically approved substi-
tute materials ore ovoiloble in
omple quantity.
II decision is made to Iocote
q war production plant and its
accompanying housing project
in some given oreo, considero-
ton must be given to the local
building code. If requirements
there ore so high that they coll
for the use Of more criticol
building moterioIs than in
some other stote, the chances
ore that the project may have
to be given to the second loco
ton, even though it is less de-
sirobIe from the point Of view
OF proximity to source Of sup
plies, transportation facilities,
and SO on.
The only alternative is to
have the first community
change its building code to
permit, soy, the use Of pre-
fabricated building units. All
too often local politics and
pressure from supply, eontroc-
tor or labor lobby groups make
this impossible. The result is
thot the war production effort
is inpeded.
Stote and local restrictions
on labor and services form an
other obstacle. II the Army
and Navy will ultimoteIy re-
Quire 10 million men and is il
takes eight industrial workers
for every man OF the front,
that means 80 million workers
will be needed to man the ma
