Decisive Steps Seen
Near in 6. H. |. Row
With Doctors Hospital
Institution Accepting
All Group Subscribers
Pending Adjustment

Doctors Hospital, for the time be-
ing at least, will continue to admit
and treat subscribers of Group Hos
pitalization, Inc, despite the con-
troversy between the two organiza-
tions.
The hospital has made an offer to
reopen negotiations with q. III. I
over the issue of terminating rela-
tions between the two on March 81,
t943. But Joseph H Hines, O.. H
i. president, indicated yesterday
there could be no further parieys
unless and until the notice served
by the hospital had been with
drawn.
This notice not only announced
termination of the contract as of
March 81, 1943, but added:
Bars New or Renewal sSigners.
THE hospital will refuse to accept
for admission Group disqualification
subscribers whose contracts are
written with you or whose contracts
are renewed subsequent to March
81, 1912"
Asked yesterday what the hospital
was doing about this last clause in
view of developments, hospital of
flcial said the clause still stands, but
the hospital board has not yet fixed
Its effective date. Until the board
does establish a date for it to be-
come effective, G. H. I. patients will
continue to be admitted, without re-
gard to the dates on their cards of
active membership In G. H. I.
Meanwhile, group disqualification
leaders insisted that all subscribers.

entitled to full service under the
contract at the hospital up to March
81, l943. They indicated they would
insist on this position "eyen though
this may require an appeal to the
courts"
Decisive Steps Seen Near.
What the next step in the rift be-
tween the two organizations would
be could not be foreseen last night
put 1t was indicated that their diff
ferences had reached such a stage
tnat there soon would be decisive
action of some kind.
The hospital directors in a formal
statement yesterday outlined their
position, and concluded: Doctors
Hospital stands ready and willing
TO negotiate with Group Hospitaliza-
tlon, Inc, on any basis which will
pay costs for services rendered to
subscribers"

PUG 10 Reconsider
Gas Rate Increase
Decision Tomorrow
OPA Petition Asks
Voeoting Of Order,
Reopening Of Case

Members of the Public Utilities
Commission will meet at 9:15 am.
tomorrow to consider the petitions
of the OPA for reconsideration of
the PUC's October 13 order for a
100000 increase in the consumer
rates of the Washington Gas Light
Co.
Chairman James H. Flanagan,
who returned to his Office yester-'
day after attending national
meeting of public utilities officials
at St. Louis. said he had called the
session particularly to discuss the
petitions. He would not comment
on what action is contemplated or
on whether or not final action will
be taken tomorrow.
The OPA. through Price Admin
istrator Leon Henderson, who acted
for himself and as the agent of
Economic Sterilization Director
Byrnes, asked specifically that the
rate order be vacated, that the case
be reopened for presentation of
further evidence, and that the eco
nomic stabiliZation director be al
lowed the right of intervention
without limitation" Some sources
were of the opinion both petitions
would be denied by the PUG.
A petition for reconsideration is
considered under District public
utility law the first step toward a
court test. Such petitions also were
filed by four citizens associations,
but action concerning them was
delayed pending the return of Mr..
Flanagan and Engineer Commits
sioner Kutz who also attended the
st. Louis meeting.

series of engagements, one follow
ing the other rapidly.
He retained the initiativ through
out until the Germans, realizing
their defeat, turned and ran. The
remains of the Africa Corps-very
slim remains-then managed to
avoid being overrun by placing OBJ
stacles in the way of the pursuing
British and by weather which bog
ged the British supply lines, giving
the advantage to the Germans who
were falling back on their own sup
ply dumps.
The Army had the tremendous ad-
vantage of air supremacy which not
only protected it from overhead at
tacks, but which exhausted the
enemy by repeated bombings before
the land battles were joined. The
enemy was knocked out of the sky.
In the last week I have not seen a
single German plane by day and
have heard only half a dozen dron-
ing overhead by night.
Improve Port Little.
The Axis forces did little to i'm
prove Tobruk in the four months
they were here despite the fact
that it was one of their main points
of entry for supplies. They put
in some harbor installations, but
these were largely destroyed by
Allied bombers. The British, just
before losing Tobruk, had extended
the desert rail line to the outskirts
of the town.
The Axis started continuing it to
the port. They built a roadbed
for this section, but laid no rails.
They brought over several Diesel
locomotives, but most of these were
destroyed by bombings.
The main mark of their occupa-
ton is a new cemetery where Ger
mans and Italians, killed mainly in
air raids, sleep. The Axis garrison
tended the Australian cemetery
with its great stone cross, keeping
it neat.
Their original rout over, the Ger
mans apparently restored order
among their Withdrawing forces and
since leaving Matruh have syste-
matically destroyed everything they
had to leave behind.
They even punctured every can
in one food store here. In an
Italian food dump all we found was
dried beans, dried peas and loaves
which looked like maple sugar bars,
pulverized garlic.

Guide to Every Mans Draft Status

The accompanying chart shows
the order in which your local board
will call men of the various groups
to service. AL local boards will
follow the same order and all of
them will dip into each new group
at about the same time.
The headings indicate how your
local board has classified or will
classify men with each degree of
dependency. The first group listed
includes what remains of the group
OF single men. BY the end Of De-
cember most boards will have ex-
hausted all in the first group but
the 18 and 10 year olds.
1t should be remembered that not
all men in each of the deferred
categories will be drafted. In some
cases, drafting of the man would
mean such hardship to the depend
ents he leaves behind that the draft
boards will pass over him. Also,
when a local board has reached a
deferred group so that mans de-
pendency status no longer counts,
II he Is in 3-B, the board will then
determine whether or not he is a
necessary man" in the essential
activity which put him in 3-B. II
ne Is necessary, he will be reclassi-
fed in IA or 2-B.
Following is the list of essential
activities which guides your local
board In determining whether a man
belongs in 3-B. Each case is con-
sldered individually and some men
may be in similar activities not
listed here, but which draft boards
would consider sufficient for classi-
flcation in 3-B:
PRODUCTION of aircraft and parts.
production of ships, boats and
parts.
Production of ordnance and ac-
cessories.
PRODUCTION of ammunition.

Raj bombers Pound
Genoa on 1,50O-kie
RouInd-Trip Flight
Two-Ton Explosives and
Many Fire Bombs Are
Showered on Base
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 14.-Tremen-
dous new damage was inflicted
last night on the major italian
port of Genoa by British bomb
ers which flew $500 miles
through enemy opposition so
weak that all returned safely
to their home bases.
Two-ton explosives and thousands
OF fire bombs were showered on the -
Axis home base for North Africa,
rocking the battered city with enor-
nous. pulverizing explosives soon
followed by raging fires.
Heavy American bombers backed
up the Raj smash at Italy by strik-
ing German submarine bases in day
light raids today on the French
northern ports of La Pallice and St.
Nazaire.
Fortresses Attack Ports.
A communique said Flying Fort
resses and Liberators attacked these
important U-boat nests, but gave no
details.
Allied fighter planes made sup
porting and diversionary sweeps over
Northwestern France during the
day. No planes were reported miss
| ing.
In the Genoa bombardment, the
sprawling Ansaldo factory west OF
the port which makes armaments
and warship engines was the chlet
target. Many OF the block-busters
fell squarely on the plant.
In their flight over the part OF
PROSTATE France just overrun by
the Germans, the big Lancasters and
Strings encountered Nazi night
fighers, at least one of which was
shot down in flames.
Big Fires Left Burning.
Pilots reported great fires were
left burning the 1000 acres of docks.
The ground defenses apparently had
been reinforced, for since the last
raid a week ago more anti-aircraft
fire and searchlights were en-
countered.
The concentrated attack however.
soon reduced the ground fire to a
trickle Of light tracers. One battery
of 20 searchlights was put out by
a hit. The weather was ideal and
the targets were easily identified.
Previous raids we're reported by
Yugoslav sources to have caused
5000 900 900 in damage, devastating
docks, warehouses and areas in the
heart of the city.

which in fact did not correspond
with the marshals orders.
Admiral Darlan's broadcast last
night and his telegraphed reply to
Marshal Petain show he had en-
barked on a course contrary to in
structions which he had received"
Admiral Darlan's American
radio proclamation and Gen. Au-
guste Nogues' announcement that
he was placing himself under Ad-
miral Darlan's orders 'in the name
of the marshal" were especially
significant since both were COM
paratively new arrivals in Africa
from Vichy.
Received Orders Tuesday.
Gen. Nogues received orders to act
as Marshal Petain's deputy only last
Tuesday in the belief that Admiral
Darlan had become a prisoner of
the Americans, but when he found
the admiral free, Gen. Nogues sub
ordinated himself. Now both are
working beside the Americans
with or without the blessing OF
Marshal Petain, who took over COM
mand of all the French armed
forces from Admiral Darlan when
the admiral ordered cease fire"
The Americans, in sharing gov
erning powers with the Allied
French while they concentrate on
winning over Tunisia, made clear
that the future French government
of Africa is subject to further
negotiation.
1t remained unclear also as to
how Admiral Darlan and Gen.
Nogues would fit into the picture
with the Fighting French Forces of
Gen. Henri Honore Giraud in Africa
and Gen. Charles de Gaulle in Lon
don, or even how Gen. Giraud and
Gen. De Gaulle would stack up be-
side each other.
The puzzle of the French fleets
eventual disposition remained un-
solved through the second day after
Admiral Darlans radio appeal to
its commanders to leave Toulon for
Africa.
The German-controlled Paris ra-
dio during the day said the COM
mander of the French naval squa-
dron interned and immobilized at
Alexandria since the 1910 armistice
would take orders only from Mar
shall Petain.

Dwight D. Eisenhower, was acting in
cooperation with Admiral Jean
Darlan. erstwhile head of all the
Vichy armed forces, for the defense
of North Africa.
British and American troops, Mr..
Clark said, have landed in Morocco
and Algiers for a reason which every
Frenchman will understandable
of protecting French North Africa
from attack by the Axis powers"
The Vichy expressions, carried as
official French communiques, but
doubtless inspired by Germans, were
seen here as evidence of increased
German influence. or perhaps partly
resisted pressure, On Marshal Petain.
Revolt Laid to De Tassigny.
The abortive revolt was laid to
Gen. Lattre de Tassigny, military
commander of Montpelier and
former commander in Morocco, who
after hearing of the departure of
Gen. Henri Honore Giraud to Africa
on November 8 abandoned his post
and took with him several officers
and men and two guns to form a
dissident unit in France"
The communiouc went on to say
that Gen. de Tassigny wandered
about the countryside until learning
of measures taken to insure order,
and then surrendered.
He was accused of plotting to be
chief of the general staff of French
rebel forces, and will be tried by
military court, the communique
said. a5%
Why such a small incident should
