More Oil Nav
90 Eastward

Washington. Nov. lS-lNS-- On
the heels OF one.gallon cut in the
basic East Coast gasoline ration
WPB officials today explored pos.
sibilities for increasing transporta-
ton of petroleum to the Atlantic
Seaboard by more than 100 900 bar
rels a day.
The Office OF Price Administra-
ton announced that the value Of
the "a coupons in IS now-ration-
ed eastern states would be reduced
from four TO three gallons begin
ming Nov. % as part OF the 1879 900
barrel-per-day petroleum curtail-
ment recommended by Oil Coordi-
nator Ickes.
Other savings are expected to
be made by slashing fuel oil CON
sumption in nOn-war industries and
allowing home owners generally
only enough oil for 60-degree hea..
instead Of the originally planned
IS. The North African otfensiv.
brought on the need for curtail.
ments.
Officials indicated, however. that
the transportation OF petroleum
and petroleum products will have
TO be upped by more than 100, 900
barrels daily into the Atlantic Sea
board area, even If the $4,000.
barrel cut recommended by Ickes
is achieved.
AT the current rate OF consump-
ton, the eastern area faces a daily
deficit OF over 100000 barrels a
day this winter.

Col. Larr Of ARLINGTON
Decorated for Aerial
Action Against Japs
Macarthur Stoff Officer
Barely Escapes When
Plane Is Forced Down

Col. David Larr of Arlington, Va,
a member of Gen. Douglas MacAr-
thurs staff, has been awarded a
Distinguished Service Cross for gall
lantry in aerial action against Japa-
nese columns in New Guinea, the
War Department announced yester-
day.
His wife resides at 4910 North
Eleventh street, Arlington.
Details of Col. Lars exploits, oc-
curing September 16 and IT, were
received by the War Department
yesterday, describing how he mar
rowly escaped capture when his
plane made an emergency landing
in Eastern New Guinea. Although
field artillery officer, who was as
signed to make reconnaissance
flight, Col. Larr proved himself an
efficient machine gunner in man
ming one Of the planes guns.
Col. Larr set out September Is
on a mission over enemy occupied
territory. The small, slow airplane
in which he was the observer was
forced down in an emergency land
ing far inside enemy territory in
q field fortunately covered with
high grass
All that night they worked on
repairing the plane. Meanwhile.
Japanese had observed the landing
and the following morning Col.
LAIR took off just in time to avoid
capture.
Despite these experiences, Col
Larr took off on another recon-
naissance flight over japanese lines.
He served as front gunner. On the
return trip they spotted japanese
column moving along trail and
the artillery officer took part in
machine cunning the enemy.
Col. Larr was born in Sullivan
Ind, January 20, 1901 and was grad
uated from West Point in 1923. He

tundra on the highest peaks. The
rest Is rock.
These natives are seal hunters

the women have tattooed chins and
most Of the men have scars from
harpoons or fights with bears on
the. ice that each year fills the
straits from November until June.
Perhaps two-thirds of them have
tuberculosis, although, Father Tom
says, many of them seem to have
had it for years without any par
ticular i'll effects. Old men have
told him they have been coughing
as long as they can, remember-and
still they go out hunting each sea-
son, pull paddle with the best
when the annual trip is made from
Diomede to the mainland in 40-foot
umiaks built of sealskins.
1t was the return part Of this
annual journey which was inter-
rupted in October by Father Tom s
illness and by unfavorable weather
which forced the islanders own
boats back to the beach where
the priests umiak had been left
Now, while Father Tom RECEIVERS
in hospital, the Diomede islanders
are staying with some Of their
many relatives on the mainland.
Worries for DR.. Tom.
Some of the supplies intended
for the island also have been left
on mainland beach, SO there ap-
pears to be no danger of starva-
ton or any more hardship than
the natives accept as an annual
fixture of their life.
For the priest, however, there
are various worries. There also
might be considerable embarrass-
ment, for example, If one of the
islanders should die during the
mainland stay. BY Diomede Gus
tom, a dying man makes one last
request Of his good friends: That
they accompany" him to his last
resting place, which he picks out
among the various spires and
shelves Of rock on Little Diomede.
And what would happen should one
of them die on the mainland and
request to be accompanied all the
way back to Diomede?
Incidentally, there are no burials
on the island, interment being i'm
possible. The bodies left on the
high rocks merely remain there,
frozen solid.
Out Of Element.
The life Of the Diomede island
people, according to the priest, has
been variously affected by the war,
which made the Bering Straits
strategically important. A few of
the young men have been called
for the draft, although the preva-
lence Of tuberculosis has made most
Of them exempt from Army service
Supplies have been difficult to
get and supply ships infrequent
Conversely, however, the islanders
have more money than ever before
both from sale Of carved ivory at
highly inflated prices and from
ordinary labor Jobs on the main
land.
All in all, Father Tom is rea-
sonably certain his people would
be better of on Diomede, where the
hunting and fishing is something
they know. Working for wages
and adjusting themselves to main
land conditions they do not know
how to do we'll.
If the pneumonia and the
weather will Just cooperate. the
New Zesland-bor priest hopes to
have them all home by Christmas.

Ry the Associated Press.
NOME. Alaska, Dec. 4.-The Rev.
Father Tom Cunningham. If his
pneumonia will allow it. hopes to
be back on the island by Christmas.
just now, Father Tom, Arctic
priest extraordinary, is fiat on his
back in Nome hospital and an
noyed about the whole thing. He
had intended to cruise over to Little
Diomede in leaky sealskin boat
in October, but pneumonia inter-
fered, just as the skin boats of his
parishioners were setting out to
sea When a weeks nursing failed
to bring any improvement, he was
flown here-someWhat against his
Will-in a private airplane.
Hearing about Father Tom
how he has translated 1000 Eskimo
words into English and made a
dictionary of them, how he has en-
couraged, and personally overseen,
the planting of potatoes by Eskimo
communities, how he has outwitted
witch doctors and taken part in
the seal hunting-a visitor might
expect to meet wrinkled and
ancient priest. Instead, he shakes
hands with a vigorous. wiry man
of about 35, industriously rolling
his own cigarettes.
Unaffected by Publicity.
There are, Father Cunningham
figures, about 110 members in his
congregation The fact that Little
Diomede, half way between Siberia
and Alaska in the Bering Straits,
received a couple Of years ago the
first widespread publicity in all its
history had no effect at all on the
congregation.
That publicity concerned Russian
building on Big Diomede, Soviet
island only mile from the Ameri-
can-owned Straits Rock. What
with language difficulties and the
Eskimo belief that the best way to
get along in the world is by agree
ing with everybody, the story of
the Russian construction work at
tanned considerable proportions by
the time 1t reached the United
States.
However Father Tom says now
and maintains that he always has
told the same story-that there
never was any construction on Big
Diomede except a weather observa-
ton station.
AS a matter of fact, any con-
siderable construction is impossible
on either of the Diomedes, which
