the opinion Of Joseph B. Eastman,
Director Of the Once of Defense
Transportation, by directing rail-
roads to transport 1t in solid trains
from points Of origin to destination,
thus eliminating all terminal de-
lays. With full belief that coal
shortage may be avoided, both Mr..
Eastman and Howard A. Gray, Act
ing Director Of the Once Of Solid

coal dealers and manufactures to
order delivery Of next winters sup
piles at once.

doing an excellent job in war pro-
duction. Let US not break that
precedent or In any way hinder

Seeing the serious threat that
faces Connecticut'S war production
effort next winter II adequate sup.
plies Of coal are not accumulated
this summer, President A. @. Full
Ter Of the Manufacturer Associa-
ton of Connecticut Is now urging
manufacturers to hoard large sup
plies Of coal this summer. Writing
in the May issue Of the associations
publication, Connecticut Industry,
mailed to members and subscribers
today, Mr.. Fuller's statement is as
follows:
For several months now we have
heard so much about the "hoarder"
being an unpatriotic person that
we, who desire to serve our country
to the best Of our abilities, almost
shrink at mention Of the word
boarding" Storing Of large guam
titles Of steel, brass, rubber Of a
hundred -and-one other critical war
materials and the purchase and
storage Of large quantities of can
ned foods and sugar were the acts
our best war effort. But now we
are being urged to store. a'91 even
hoard, large quantities Of coal as .
patriotic move as well as In our own
self-interest.
Agencies Approval
"The urge to hoard coal, especi-
ally In the New England states,
comes from many agencies-the
once Of Defense Transportation,
the Solid Fuels Advisory War Coun-
ell, the Solid Fuel Coordinator,
Bituminous Coal Consumers Coun-
Gil and the Once Of Price Admin
istration. All these agencies are
very much concerned over the abil-
ity Of our war production plants to
function at full speed late next fall
and winter If next seasons supply
Of coal Is not ordered and delivered
this spring and summer while rail
transportation facilities are still able
to deliver 1t. They are likewise urg-
ing home consumers to lay in their
supplies II they would not run the
grave risk Of heatless days next
winter.
THE seriousness of their recon-
nendation Is easily recognized when
one notes the. increased demand for
coal by war industries has taxed
coast-wide barge and collier ship
ping to the limit, and that even
this heavily burdened service is con-
stantly threatened by submarine
activity. A still growing demand by
war production industries which are
switching from oil to coal has fur
Their increased the difficulties Of
transport. It must now be moved
in ever-increasing quantities from

declared. I'm the Air Corps alone

Secretary Of War Stimson recently

to those used in Japanese propa-
ganda broadcasts which claimed cap
ture Of some of the Toxic raiders.
The Japanese broadcasts claimed
that the American airmen had been
convicted of "inhuman acts" in the
bombing of civilians and the ma
chine cunning Of school children and
would be severely punished" under
international law.
Secretary Stimson told reporters
that "our flyers who attacked Toxic
were instructed to attack only mill

that they did so with remarkable

q years training. Why not tell
them we're not going to rush these
boys into combat without the proper
training?"
Two Amendments Adopted.
Striving to bring its bill into line
with that passed by the House last
Saturday, the Senate adopted two
committee amendments without
argument. One of these would de-
lete provision of present law re-
quiring that any person between
the ages of 18 and 81 who enlists in
the military service without parental
consent must be discharged at the
request of his parents.
The other would provide that no
individual be relieved from military
service because of conviction for
crimes unless the offenses are pun
ishable by death or by imprisonment
exceeding one year. This varied
slightly in language from a similar
House provision.
The Senate rejected an amend
ment by Senator Danaher, Republi-
can, of Connecticut which would
have exempted from the draft men
under As years old who served as
volunteers in the World War. Ma
jority Leader Barkley said World
War veterans would resent" being
singled out in this way.
The Senate has before it several
other amendments, including a pro-
posal by Senator O'Daniel to sus-
pend the 40-hour week and premium
pay for overtime during the war Pc
riod.
Marshall Describes Training.
Gen. Marshall asserted in his let
ter that there was "a marked diff
ference between the training of an
individual soldier and the training
of a complicated machine like a
division.
"A squad of u men who have had
the proper basic training can be
trained as team in relative short
period of tlme," he continued. "A
