Millions of People in Oil Rationed States Faced
 With Dilemma
BY JoHN N. MECKLIN

Limited Press Stan COreSpOndenU
 washington. Sept. IT - (UP) - Millions of persons in oil-rationed states face the prospect of "uncom- fortably cold homes this winter" unless they immediately convert their oil-burning furnaces to coal burners and insulate their homes to cut down fuel consumption.
 Those unable to use coal for heating will have to keep the tenn peratures of their homes down to 65 degrees.
 That warning was issued last night by Price Administrator Leon Henderson.
 " Those affected are the 96,89O, 900 the population 4 living in the 30 persons = almost three-fourths of eastern and midwestern states where fuel oil will be strictly ra- tioned to offsetA a transportation shortage.

 YORKTOWN SINKS
Chief Petty Officer, Two Enlisted Men Had No
 Chance to Escape
By CHARLES R. MOORE United Press Staff Correspondent

San Francisco, Sept. 17-(UP)- The carrier Yorktown was sinking and a chief petty officer and two enlisted men were hopeleessly trapped five decks down. They had telephone communication with the topside and this is what the chief petty officer said:
 Sure; We know you can't get us out, but we got a helluva good acey- -deucey game goin' down here. -. When you sink her, put the torpedoes up forward. We don't want it to last too long"
 That was one instance of heroism among the gallant ships crew while she was fighting her last battle and dying.
 Another:
 One after the other, three anti aircraft gunners were shot out of the same gun seat. The fourth man took his place as calmly as though it had been a drill.

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, September IT. - CUP) F American forces have delivered new setbacks to the Japanese at both ends of the far-flung Pacific battle line, slowing the enemy drive to recapture the Solomon Islands and inflicting shat tering blows on ships, planes, shore facilities and men in the Aleutian Islands.
 Eight enemy ships were blasted by American planes at Kiska Island in the Aleutians, two having been sunk.
 From Guadalcanal came the news that Navy and Marine corps dive bombers damaged two Japanese cruisers while Marine land forces not only are holding their posi- tions on that main American base in the Solomons but have dimin- ished the initial ferocity of the Jap anese counter attacks which started last Saturday.
 Those reports on developments in She Pacific war theater were issued last night in two naval communi- 0ues.

London, Sept. 1T = (U.P0t-.T The epochal battle of Stalngrad has sharply revived the question of the timing and direction of the coming Allied offensive blow from the west and has brought out as sharply So- viet fears that delay will not only vastly prolong the war but change the course of history.
 The net result of the recent weeks of Allied discussions and Prime Minister Winston Churchills visit to Moscow may now be sum- med up clearly:
 Premier Josef Stalin wants an iron-clad agreement to launch an Anglo-American offensive in Eu- rope on the greatest possible scale immediately, but the British and AmericanS-without rejecting 8 1942 invasion-failed to reach an agree ment in line with the Russian de- sire or an adequate substitute for it.

 Chungking, Sept. 17.-(UP)-Au- thentic reports that Emperor Hiro- hito had conferred with Premier Hideki Tojo'S war cabinet on high ly important issues caused reliable Chinese quarters to suggest again today Japanese assault on Siberia was impending.
 These reports said the conference had taken place Wednesday, after Tojo had appointed 8 new foreign minister, Masayuki Tani. Only on issues most vital to the future of Japan does the emperor confer with the entire cabinet.
 Japanese broadcasts said Tani, president of the board of informa- tion, had been sworn in as foreign minister before the emperor at II a. m. Wednesday, but did not re- veal whether the remainder of the cabinet had been present.
 Tojo had taken over the duties of foreign minister upon the resig- nation of Shigenori Togo earlier this month. At that time it was report that Togo, only member of the cab- met who could not be classified a
