Long Range Prospects

This writer cannot take
respondent view of either our
long-range war prospects or
stock market prospects. Adj
mittedly, Setbacks Of diSconcert-
ing severity may occur any day
in the Pacific. But the inSpir-
ing fact is that the principal
enemies of the AXIS. notably the
United States. are steadily aug
menting their might in the air,
on the seas, on land. The tide
of battle can reasonably be eX-
pected to turn long before the
turn Of the year.
OF course, stupcndous Issues
are involved ON the Russian
front: II is. after all. the most
vital theater of the whole war.
RuSsia'S armies continue TO OUT
match the Nazi forces. Further
successes, cntailing appalling
German losses. are expected
during the remaining five-six
weeks OF Winter.
1t may be that security mar
ketS will merely back-and-fill
until the outcome of the antici-
pated mOmcntouS spring move
ment becomes known.

Oil. Gas Rationine
Expected; Feud on
Car Freezing Flares
BY SILER FREEMAN

Oil and gas rationing are on
the agenda for rationing at an
early date. Auto men, returning
from Washington. say the talk
is definitely in the air and expect
something TO happen on il soon.
Gasoline companies are making
up for the sinking of tankers by
U-boats in the Atlantic by ship
ping carloads of gas and oil from
the Middle West. But the rail
tieup is expected TO be felt
soon, like in the first World
War, when lack of locomotives
interfered with shipments.
AS a result, the precious fluid
will be rationed. 1t is expected,
however. that a certain liberality
will be shown by the government
so as not TO interfere with legi-
innate business drivings. The
main idea. il is said. is 10 cut
down pleasure driving and thus
not only conserve the oil and
gasoline but also tires.

Feud Over Rationine

Meanwhile. quite a fcud is
brewing between the County Ra-

board charges the DADA is try

dealers hold that the board is
being hidebound by literal in

which can be made 10 conform

would study them closely.
