A bill giving President Roosevelt
power to commander or acquire by
voluntary sale automobiles and other
transportation equipment is to be
introduced early this week by Sena-
brs Reynolds, Democrat, of North
Carolina and Downey, Democrat, OF
California.
Senator Downey said today the
measure was a revision of previous
bills introduced by the Senators.
The bill would authorize an
appropriation of $500,00O,000 for
acquisition of transportation equip
ment. Senator Downey said it would
pave the way for reduction of autos
on the highways from q 400, 1000, the
number in use at the beginning of
this year, to 100000. the number
reported in a recent Brookings In
stitution analysis as necessary to
carry on the economy of the Nation.
The Senator said scrap from such
acquisition would total approximate
ly 4,250,000 tons of steel cat the rate
of 1,42o pounds per carr. 24o 900 tons
Of non-ferrous metals and 27,000
long tons Of non-tire rubber, plus a
limited number of good tires.
Citing estimates by the Office OF
Defense Transportation, Senator
Downey said approximately 100000
cars would either have been scrapped
or stored for the duration of the
war by the end of this year. BY
purchasing cars for scrapping at the
rate OF 100000 a month, he said, the
remaining $4,000, 900 cars which, &C.
cording to ODT estimates, would be
on the roads at the beginning OF
1943 could be reduced by 1914 te
around 100000.
First to be taken, he said, would
be the jalopies, of which there were
reported to be about $500. .O0C
10 years old or more. The measure
would provide any owners of requisi.
toned cars who need them TO,
essential war work would be allowed
to purchase other autos acquired

Mediterranean and even into the
backyard Of Europe can bear witness
to the fact that large quantities OF
equipment and supplies intended for
the Axis armies in Egypt now are at
the bottom Of the sea.
Those supplies which are set
ashore at Tobruk and Bengasi are
the targets of almost continuous at
tack by American and British
medium bombers, while the coastal
road over which they must be
trucked to the fighting front are
subjected to frequent strafing by
fighter planes.
Typical Of these assaults was a

base Of Tymbaki, Crete.

On the other hand, q steady nov

ment labeled "USA" is arriving In

few fighters and bombers which
Rommel can now spare to attacl
the Allies overland supply lines ir
Egypt.
