 Such commodities, they expected would cover the Presidents state meme that rationing of "all essential commodities of which there Is a Rcaraity" could be expected. John IT. Ham1n, senior deputy OPA ad-. Hninistrator, underlined the word ''esssntia1."
 Gas RatiOning, May 15
 Gasoline will be rationed in east ern states after May IS. Sugar ra- tioning begins in the country as a whole next week.
 Hamm declined to mention other specific items that might be con- sidared in the essential category.
 One OPA representative said shortages of approximately 20 per cent would have to exist in foods and from 25 to 8 per cent in cloth- ing before rationing would become necessary. Items that might have to be rationed, 1t was believed would be those that come from for eign countries, such as coffee and tea. The shipping bottleneck may create serious shortages.
 The War Production Board last night cut by 25 per cent the deliv- cries of coffee to roasters and wholesale receivers. WIPE officials said the war had created uncer- tainties about future supplies, since merchant ships that normally trans port coffee are needed to carry war materials" Most of the coffee used iii the United States comes from Latin America.
 Several weeks ago the WIPE cut in half the amount of tea that may be sold.
 MT. Roosevelt said rationing would become necessary in some cases to assure fair distribution among consumers and prevent the placing of a premium on financial ability to pay higher prices.
 Many officials believe the new price ceilings will make possible a fair distribution of goods if they are not too scarce.

Meet the "lSite" balloon, little brother of Brltain's famous barrage balloons. Kite ballons are smaller, and are flown from ships passing through coastal areas endangered by France -based Nazi bombers. The kites are credited with downing at least six enemy aircraft and with sewing over 200 ships. When c corl- voy is protected by the balloons, divebombing and inast-high attacks become very hazardous. The Kite Balloon Section is Q tle.known branch of the Royal Navy. Men and women of the RAF service the bale looms at shore depots, and navy craft take them out to any vesesl request ing one. At first, merchant skipperS were distrustful of them, but now few sail without their protection. Above, a convoy steatns along under an umbrella" of kite balloons.

The various schools served as regis tration centers. Clerical forces re. mained on duty until 9 o'clock in the four draft board offices. Chief registrars from various sections rec ported in person and filed not only signed cards, but the remaining supply so that an official checkup could be made. The cards were inc mediately assorted and each chair man knew the result of the days work before the offices closed for the evening.
 Practically every registrar had a story to tell. They found many, of the applicants ready to answer the call to the colors, many who prefer to let the younger men do the flght- ing and a good many rather "sen- sitive" about telling their right age.

SENATOR MALONEY
 IN WAR ARGUMENT
Conn. Man Made Objection to Some Rules for
 Women in Army

Washington, April 28-(UP)- )-The War department wants women in the Army, and so does Sen. Ebert D. Thomas, D., Utah.
 But when he brought up the idea yesterday, Sen. Francis T. Maloney, D., Conn, said he "just didn't think 1t was proper" and thereby precipi. tated a battle of the sexes that some observers believed would everl- tually be settled by the Senators Wives-ilot the senators.
 Thomas started an almost day. long debate by introducing Q subs stitute to a bill already passed by the house to create a WAAC -- Women's Auxiliary Army corps. His substitute would make 1t possible for women actually to join the army, not just an auxiliary force.
 "The War department and the Army want this passed" he said, "they have indicated that time is an important element, and I intend to continue to work for its speedy passage" =,
 The house, he pointed out, has passed bill allowing women to join the Navy, so why not the Army?
 Maloney said he didn't object to the formation of the auxiliary corps but "when you start talking about sending them everywhere that sol- diers go, and having them do ev- ervtl,inV that soldiers do, except shoulder gun, then that's another question"
 Thomas answered: "r don't see any reason why we shouldn't have women in the Army, subject to the same rules and regulations that soldiers are"
 Sen. Robert M. LaFollette, Prog, Wis, moved that the question be referred back to the senate military affairs committee for further con- sideration. over Thomas protests the senate approved.

Continued from Page D war The people have expressed the view that the government iB to be free and parliament to Do free to discuss and decided each and every aspect of the country'S war effort solely upon It's merits.
 "The Judgment and the 0ction of the government and the parliament will no longer be restricted in any way in dealing with every situation in the light of what is best for Can- ada and for Canada's war effort. The vote means that the people generally recognize that the war has taken e course which waS altogether unforeseen: that condi. tionS wholly unexpected may yet arise; and that, In consequence, 1t is necessary to remove any restric- ton upon the freedom of the govs ernment and parliament"
 What They Voted On
 The question voted on was: Are you in favor of releasing the govs ernment from any obligations ariS- ing out of past commitments rec strictlng the methods of raising men for military service7"
 King considered the issue so ser. iously that he had indicated he would consider . mo" majority in- dlcated c lack of confidence in the government, and 1t would resign.
 Though thousands of Canadian volunteers have fought and died on almost every battlefront, he said the lack of conscription for f0reign service had created the impression that Canada was not doing It's uts most. Under the recent law, men are to be drafted, but only for home service.
 Before there can be any Iconscrip- ton for overseas service, parliament must pass enabling legislation. The present draft law empowers con. scriptIon for home defense only. There~was no indication that King planned to introduce immediately or even soon an overseas service bill.

Bo,nbers, swarms of fighters, and Hurricane fighters newly Atted with bomb racks hurtled over the Dover Strait in the half light oi dawn to continue the 24-hour c day British offensive.
 United Press dispatches from Stockholm revealed, on the basis of reports direct from Berlin, that in four nights of pulverizing raids British planes had left RoStok, great Baltic port and seat of the Heinkel plane works, . city oi smouldering ruins, and said that after tens of thousands had wan. dered homeless about It's ruined streets for days the Germans were now evacuating almost the entire population. =.
 Special trains and fleets Of trucks were impressed to effect the evacu- atlon, the dispatches said.
 LOOtlng Breaks Out
 They revealed also that German authorities had admitted that loot- ing had broken out in Rostock bee fore the evacuation was started, and that shipping there had been Tine terrupted."
 German sources were quoted as admitting aiso that British planes had dropped leaflets over Stralsund, 70 miles east of Rostock, warning townspeopie that the Royal Air FoFce was going to bomb it on it's next visit to the Baltic shores.
 This indicated that the British were conforming to c carefully charted pattern ih which first they had devastated Luebeck, westerrl- most Of oermanyB great Baltic ports next to Kiel, then had ruined Roetock, GO miles ot the east, and now intended to proceed on to gtralsurd, the next port in line, along the coast, to impede the flow Of German men and materials 70 the Russian front.
