along like water, filling every hole or cranny and remaining there for considerable time.
 But the greatest hazard, MT. Smith declared, of staring gasoline in varoius types of small containers is the danger to life resulting when 1t is poured from the container into the tank of an automobile. This is q difficult process at best and often unfeasible without the use of fun mel. Since proper tunnels are seldom available, 1t is not uncommon, he said, or considerable amount of gasoline to be spilled over the car and sometimes on the clothes of the person doing the pouring.
 In the early days of auto,nohiiing when such refueling was 8 common practice, sparks of static electricity were frequently produced in the process, igniting the vapors and ser iously and sometimes fatally burn- ing the motorists involved.

Jacquelyn E. Tufts of Waterbury filed 8 $25,000 civil action in supe- rior court yesterday afternoon against Richard Jenkins of Arling- ton, Mass, and Donald Locke of Medford, Mass. The suit is based on permanent injuries which the woman claims she sustained in an automobile accident February 21 in Union City.
 According to the complaint. a car she was driving was struck by one owned by Locke and operated by the other defendant. Permanent scars to her face and severe leg injuries are listed by the plaintiff.

Hartford, Conn.-May 2-Warn- ing that fire insurance may be made worthless, and certain danger is created, by storing gasoline in ones house or garage, Arthur G. Smith, chief engineer of The Travellers and fire insurance company, today dis- closed that claims are being pre- sented by policyholders who have suffered sereve losess in recent fires occasioned by the explosion of gaso- line they had attempted to store. He anticiaptes an increase in such claims, especially if gasoline ration ing becomes nationwide after July 1.
 Policy Void
 Most standard fire insurance pol icies, MT. Smith pointed out, might be rendered void if a policyholder kept gasoline or other explosive or highly ilaflaYhmable materials in the structure insured, without proper permit or in quantities beyond the limit permitted by the individual policy. Also, there is the possibility already 8 certainty in some cities that in addition to causing void- ance of his insurance policy he might violate local fire department rules.
 Directing his remarks at motorists who may have cached gasoline on their premises in an attempt to avoid feeling too acutely the pinch of rationing, and thus have exposed themselves, their families, and the public to acute hazard, MT. Smith vividly explained the explosive force of the liquid.
 "One pint of gasoline turned into vapor and mixed with air will make 300 cubic feet of air inflammable and explosive" he said. "If you should create spark or light a match in such an atmosphere, 1t would be like exploding a lot of dynamite"
 His warning was emphasized by a newspaper clipping he held, describ- ing recent fire in Stratford, Conn. A 50-gallon drum and two five gall lon cans of gasoline had been stored under the porch of a three-family dwelling. One night, at about 10 o. clock, one of the containers explod- ed, demolishing the porch and in- stantly setting the entire front of the building ablaze.
 Dangerous Practice
 MT. Smith also described as dan- gerous the current rather common practice of carrying extra gasoline in automobiles. Too often, he said, it is put in make-shift containers which are seldom tight. Vapor from the escaping fluid, being much heav- fer than air, will, unless the weather is hot or the air is in motion, settle to the floor of the car and flow

may be called on for service. Tsrst are American business men who have had extensive experience in foreign countries. They will supply the technicians. Educational instt- tutIons, with their staffs of men who have studied and lived abroad offer another source for recruiting. Religious and charitable organiza- tions with their missionaries, Quak- CT and Red Cross relief workers pro- vide trained personnel for distribu- ton of food and medical supplies. Finally, there is the vast army of foreign-born American citizens whose loyalty is beyond question and who can be assigned to their former home-lands as agents, tra1s- lators and local administrators.
 BEW AND ARMY

 All this organization is still in the formative stage but the Board of Economic Warfare eventually plans to be in a position to com plement effectively the facilities of the army in all these tasks of re- organizing a reoccupied area.
 There is the further problem Jo be considered, of course, in the realization that the battles of ecorl- onic warfare really begin when the fighting war is over and the arn1is- tice is signed. 4

primary difference in that the pop ulation of re-occupied countries will assumably be friendly to the army of occupation and will be co-opera- tive in reestablishing their pre-in- vasion form of government.
 REHABILITATION
 IS TREMENDOUS JOB
 Armed forces have the first re- sponsibility in reentering a country, in setting up a military administra- tion for service to the fighting units. This includes repair of transport and communications systems and establishment of supply lines for food, water and munitions to keep the troops in the field. These tasks the army is well prepared to assume through its Service of Supply, in- cIuding engineers, quartermasters, signal corps and similar specialist troops.
 After this is done, however, comes the bigger job of recognizing the entire economy of the reoccupied country so as to rehabilitate the civilian population and get 1t into the condition of contributing every thing possible to further war efforts
 Here is where the problems real- ly begin. An auxiliary organization must be created to reestablish local administrations, involving the re- sumption of agricultural and indus trial enterprises, the return to their homes of refugees, provision for the import of needed food supplies for ] the civilians, medical care, and the

Establishment of carrier clear ing house, to make possible full loads for trucks in this area, was voted last night by local and out-of- town trucking officials at a meeting at The Elton. Notification of agree ment on the plan was wired to the Onnce of Defense Transportation at Washington.
 The ODT has ordered, effective June l, that every truck leaving a terminal must have 100 per cent load, and on the return trip must have at least 75 per cent load.
 Under the clearing house plan tonnage which is ia excess of some firms capacity will be turned over to other firms for delivery.
 A survey of carload freight for warded from Waterbury was being made today by the ODT as part oi a nationwide survey. A freight priority order may be the result.

There is Q model Of how not to fight this type of economic warfare in the steps taken by Hitler as the Nazis swarmed over Europe. The Hitler technique has been to grab everything that was loose and ship it back to Germany, leaving the na- tive population to shift for itself, to starve, to suffer and to die. Hitler's economic shock troops were known to have been organized back in 1885, and they made speciality of economic suppression and oppres- sion.
 AXIS COUNTRIES
 ORGANIZED LOOPING
 The German invaders, and the Japanese, too, have apparently made systematic seizures of all stockpiles of raw materials they could use at home. They have been prepared for their exploitation of conquered territory to the extent of having worthless paper money printed in advance and ready for distribution in exchange for sucl, goods as they purchased. Mines and factories have been taken over, part of the native labor force set to work in these industries, paid in the same worthless paper currency Other labor forces have been liter ally shanghaied into service, in the case of the Nazis at least, to mi grate to Germany and perform work which would relieve the German population for other war jobs.
 The American pattern of eco- homie warfare will not be fought ir that way. obviously. There will be 2

 Only the weak go back to yesterday So say the righteous in this sorry
 life,
 But there are those who find along
 the way
 A better drug than courage, blood
 and strife. An ancient moon that cast it's soft On one whose very presence was
 delight,
 A tremulous VOW, half-whispered
 long ago .... A falling star that faded in the
 night.
 All these are mine against the cer-
 tainty
 Of dawn and dusk and all the
 years ahead, How precious are the things that
 could not be,
 When all the things that were
 are strangely dead; Only the weak go back to yester-
 day,
 But there are lovely flowers along
 the way!
 DON VAIN. Flaw! It happened on 53rd Street the other sundown. A mid- towner picked up 8 limping pigeon and was taking 1t home when he decided to refresh himself at the Stork Bar. Knowing he couldn't get in with a pigeon limping or not, he hurriedly stuffed it under his vest and pro- ceeded to the bar.
 A deb on the next stool hap pened to look at the lad and, see- ing his vest bobbing up and down and to and fro - let out one sllriek and fled tot he door. MT Billingsbergh, the owner, grabbed her and said: What's the matter with you, fevvensakesl" That man S vest" she said breathlessly, pointing. "Oh, come now" comforted MT Billingsbergh, "don't tell me you've never seen vest!"

 Imagine! In Reuben's the other night, Burton Turkus, prosecutor of Murder, Inc, told this-about the psychology of suggestion on the hu- man mind.
 A killer testifying in court said: ''So when we knock off the guy, we figure to get rid of his body. Well, we decide to sprinkle him with gasoline - set fire to him and kick him around till he gets lost. Then we all get hungry, so we go out to put on the fesdbag, drive out to the shore and do a big job on Holsters"
 At that moment, the judge looked at his watch, hit the gayel and called recess. Then, turning to the attendant, he said: Haven't had sea food in ages. That's it-lob- sters for lunch"
