May Be Investigated
By Coroner Jury
Post-Mortem Follows
Physicians Report
Medicine Proved Fotol

A coroner's jury may be called to
weigh evidence in the death of the
Very Rev. Re Barney T. Phillips, 81,
chaplain of the Senate and Dean of
Washington Cathedral, q spokesman
for the coroners ONCE declared to-
day.
In certificate filed at the Health
Department by the distinguished
clergyman's physician, the imme-
diate cause of death was given as
acute respiratory failure due to I'M
usual reaction to narcotic drug
dilaudid, 1-32 grain"
Doctors have for years customarily
used this drug, an opium derivative,
to relieve pain, according to experts
at the Food and Drug Administra-
ton.
Dean Phillips body was removed
to the City Morgue soon after flu
neral services in the great choir of
the Cathedral yesterday, a member
of his family said. After post-mor-
tenn examination, cremation took
pave AA LdWiCi al IlOfIlC last
night. The family said the ashes
would be privately inferred today
in the Chapel Of st. Joseph of
Arimathea.
Becoming i'll Friday. Dean Phil
lips nevertheless was able to con-
duct funeral service Saturday. He
died Sunday night at his home, 3508
Woodley road N. w.
The spokesman for the coroner's
ONCE indicated chemical analyses
have not been completed, and the
investigation may extend into next
week.
The coroner's Office has settled
tentatively on the cause of death,

clusion will not be made public UNI
til every phase Of the investigation
is complete. ~
If the case Is taken to a coroner's

West Looms Golden

Facing Gas Rationing
GreeIey's Advice Recalled
As Motorists Map Drives
Beyond Henderson Line
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 14-Gasoline
rationing is simultaneous with vaca-
ton time along the Atlantic sea-
board, and thousands of Fasteners
were reported today to be hearken-
ing to the Go West, young man,
60 West" advice of Horace Greedy.
Automobile club stats worked
overtime locating summer resorts
just west of the Leon Henderson
line"
Club clerks brushed up on their
arithmetic in figuring how far
motorists could 60 on their ration
cards, while some tourists planned
to save up their gasoline allotment
for wild dash to inland States not
affected by the order.
Reports from the gas-rationing
front, however, did not predict
whether the Henderson line" in
Western Pennsylvania and New
York would hold-or move farther
West as the transportation shortage
makes the delivery problem more
acute.
Traffic Cops Won't Be Rationed.
Some experts on motoring esti-
mated that at least Is per cent of
the automobiles in the restricted
area would go on the shelf" for the
duration.
Traffic is expected to drop from
so to 60 percent on New York roads,
and therein lies another story about
traffic cops
''We may not have so much traffic,
but we've still got war emergency"
Sergt. Edward Dougherty of the
New York State Police said, explain
ing why motorcycle patrolmen will
have just as much work as before
Those motorists lucky enough to
obtain X cards, permitting I'M
limited purchases of gasoline, may
not expect to have the road to
themselves for speeding. Thereu be
plenty of cops watching.
Assistant Chief Inspector James
j. Sheehy of the New York City
Police Traffic Division said it was
still too early to guess how rationing
would affect traffic chores.

ing is concerned, she said she had to
make her reservations much farther
ahead, and though she hasn't been
asked to leave a plane yet, she
wouldn't be surprised if that hap
pened.
Mrs. Roosevelt's triumphant BIZ
cycle experiment at Hyde Park re-
Gently was decided on when she real
lied she wouldn't have enough gaso-
line to make her frequent trips from
the main house at Hyde Park to her
own cottage which is at some dis
lance. She said the President had
told her that you know you're get
ting on and it wouldn't be good
thing to break leg at your age"
so she didn't tell him she was going
to make the effort.
She said the bicycle had been
given to her year ago, but never
had been used. She was 80 pleased

Won't Wear Stacks.
Even on a bicycle, Mrs Roosevelt
will stay out of Stacks which she
thinks you have to be young and
thin to wear" AS far as the slack
situation goes generally, she said
she thought the Government de-
partments should make some deci-
sion about their girl employees work
ing in Stacks. She said she wouldn't
want any of her own office workers
to abandon skirts.
Mrs. Roosevelt can't see any point
TO working in an Office in Stacks.
Also she thinks they are very hot.
At the same time she frowned on
q proposal to go without stockings.
Mrs. Roosevelt hasn't completely
abandoned silk stockings herself.
She wears cotton mesh in the
country because it's better for walk
ing through fields, but when she
dresses up, she wears her silk ones
of which she still has good supply
She FASTENED to add, she hasn't
bought many lately.
In answer to another question, she
said she was trying to use 10 per
cent of her income to buy War
bonds, and so far has been success
full. She said she would be opposed
to forced savings, unless people
refused to save voluntarily.

Asked about local festivals and
county fairs, Mrs. Roosevelt said as
far as they possibly could, commu'
mites should keep on doing the
normal things of local life, as Ions

ditions for girl workers, said Public

Prince Georges Man
Held in Failure Of
Bond Cerfification
Frederick County to
Probe Responsibility Of
Upper Marlboro Clerk
BY the Associated Press.

FREDERICK, Md, May a.
Francis E. Weightman of Hyatts-
vile was in Frederick Jail in default
of $500 bond today, charged with
perjury in connection with an al
legged Prince Georges County real
estate bail bond failure.
The arrest was made yesterday at
the request of State Attorney Pat
rick M. Schnauf1er as Frederick
County moved to collect $4,000 bail
defaulted here in December when
George Blake, union labor organ
izer, failed to appear for trial.
Mr. Schnauffer asserted that Mr..
Weightman, who posted Mr.. Blake's
bond, made false statements under
oath while acting with power of
attorney for bondsmen of the Prince
Georges County Circuit Court clerk.
Mr.. Weightman appeared here in
December, the States attorney said,
and declared Mr.. Blake's bondsmen
had real estate in Prince Georges
in excess of $4,000. Mr.. Schnauffer
also said the Prince Georges County
clerk had certified to Frederick au-
thorities that the bondsmen owned
$1,000 in unencumbered real estate.
However, when Frederick County
commissioners went to Upper MARI
boro to attend real estate sale to
satisfy the $4,000 bond judgment
they learned the property already
was covered by a deed of trust
amounting to $500 and taxes total
ing $500. The sale Melted only 500,
Mr.. Schnauffer said.
Before yesterdays arrest the
States attorney indicated he would
take steps to determine whether the
Prince Georges clerk was liable for
certifying the Blake bondsmen and
that If the clerk were found liable
suit would be brought against the
clerks surety.
Mr.. Blake had been accused of
false pretense and assault and bat
terry. Later he was indicted by the
Frederick County grand jury when
he defaulted on the bail bond.

British in Burma
Near Gateway Of
Escape 10 India
No Contact With Enemy
For Lost Four Days,
Communique Says

BY the Associated Press.
NEW DELHI, May 14.-The
remnants of Britain's roughly
handled defenders of Burma were
reported tonight near the gate
way Of escape over midas AS
sam border, their withdrawal
along the Chindwin River un-
1mpeded by japanese forces
which were sharply checked four
days ago near Kalewa.
A communique said "there has
been no further contact with the
enemy" since the May 10 battle at
Shwegyin, miles below Kalewa
and some 140 miles northwest of
Mandalay, in which a column of
more than 300 Japanese thrusting
up the Chidwin by motorboat were
thrown back to the south.
The r. A. F. was giving welcome
aid to the tired British columns. A
communique announced that barges
used by the japanese for forging up
the Chidwin had been bombed.

Half Of German Army
Believed Lost on
Russian Front
Figure Bosed on Remarks
Of Churchill; British Soy
He Understuted Toll
BY JAY HAYDEN.

The threat that If Germany re-
sorts to poison gas on the Russian
front Great Britain will retaliate in
kind vas the point in Prime Minister
Churchills Sunday speech that at
tracted most attention in the Amer
lean press, but British spokesman
here say two other statements by the
Prime Minister were far more i'm
portant.
The first of those was the asser-
ton that more Germans have died
on the Russian front than lin the
whole four-and-one- quarter years OF
the last war" The second was that
during April "one-tenth of all the
raiding aircraft" over the British
Isles were shot down.
As to German losses in Russia,
Mr.. Churchill said:
mo one can say with certainty
how many millions of Germans have
already persisted in Russia and its
SHOWS. Certainly more have per-
ished than were killed in the whole
four and-a-quarter years Of the last
war. That is probably an under
statement"
British spokesman here say that
pronouncement was made only after
the most thorough checking of all
available information. and that 1t
very definitely was an "understate-
ment"
At Least 1,773,700 Killed.
Calculations by the United States
War Department after the World
War placed German losses in that
conflict at 7,142,558. These were
divided, 1,773,70O killed and died;
4216,O58 wounded, and $4,000
prisoners and missing.
Mr.. Churchill's statement, there
fore, was that at least 1,773,700
Germans have died in Russia since
last June %. He offered no estimate
OF wounded, prisoners or missing,
but experience of the World War
indicated that the proportion OF
those, in comparison with men
killed, ran fairly true in all the
armies engaged.
For example, France, with total
of 8,410,000 men engaged in the
World War, reported l 1857 800 killed
and died; 4,266, 900 wounded and
$1,000 prisoners and missing.
OF 100000 Russians engaged
100000 were reported killed and
died; 1850 900 wounded and 2,50O, 600
prisoners and missing.

gagged, had 908,37l killed or died
2,090,212 wounded and 191, $50 prise.
ners and missing.
126, 900 Americans Killed.
United States losses, with a total
of 4,355,000 engaged, were 126,OOC
killed and died, 234, 800 wounded and
$500 captured or missing.
Thus, if Mr.. Churchill's calcula-
ton that more than 1,773,7 Ger
mans have persisted in Russia Is cor
rect, 1t would seem to be conserva-
tive conclusion that Hitler has lost
at least another 100000 in wound
ed, prisoners and missing.
German World War casualties
were $40 per cent of a total of H.
000, 900 men engaged. Even assum-
ing that a considerable number of
losses this time, classed as German,
are Rumanian, Italian and Hun
garian, and that with the addition
Of Austria the German Army. is
bigger than in the World War, Mr..
Churchills claim indicates that the
Germans have lost in Russia
something like half of their total
military availables.
Russian losses also must have
been stupendous, but with the diff
ference that Russia has something
more than twice the population to
draw on.
