experience a run" later. when con-
sumers begin to run out of oil.
Few Complaints Made.
Astonishingly few complaints on
fuel oil allotments are coming into
area rationing boards in the District.
although thousands of consumers
now have received their coupons,
board representatives report.
We'll get them later. though" one
board member said Wait until
people have gone through their
coupons and start running out of
oil"
Rationing officials admitted that
the complexity of the oil-rationing
program was keeping many persons
away.
They don't understand the sys-
tenn" one Official SAID. land hence
are inclined to accept their allot-
ments without objecting too siren
uously-unless the ration seems I'M
reasonably low"
Row Houses Fare Best.
Best of under the oil rationing
method used by the Once of Price
Administration are those who live in
row houses. Conversely, those SUI
fering the largest cuts are people
with large detached homes.
Row houses, Rationing Board
members pointed out. heat Efficient
ly, since there are usually only two
instead of four outside walls. Many
consumers in such places have been
cut only a few gallons from their
last years consumption.
On the other hand, 'area ceilings"
and the difficulties of heating a
large house combine to make the
problem more serious. The area
ceiling is the maximum amount of
floor space recognized by the OPA
for a specific number of persons
Thus, two persons are allowed not
more than $500 square feet, three
persons occupying house are al
lowed 1900 square feet. four persons.
5000 square feet. The maximum
allowable is 5000 square feet for 10
persons in house.
If the actual floor space reported
| in an application exceeds the area
ceiling, the surplus footage is not
considered in working out the ra-
ton. Owners of large homes. in
many cases, will be compelled to
convert to coal or shut of parts of
! their houses if they want to keep
I warm.
Possible Solution.
| Meanwhile, a possible solution to
the problem of transporting oil into
the Washington area was seen in
the exhibit and demonstration yes
terday of reinforced concrete, now
being used elsewhere in the con-
! struction of storage tanks for oil
and gasoline. The concrete with
stands the pressure of the fluid in
side through the use of pre-ten-
stoned steel bands.
| This method Of construction, it is
| said, saves from Is to 80 per cent
/ of the steel used in building steel
tanks for oil storage. Adequate
| storage facilities would lessen the
difficulty of transporting oil by
| truck from Baltimore reservoirs. If
such tanks were erected here. large
supplies of oil could move into the
District directly by rail.
Oil distributors here already have
begun to pool supplies to eliminate
sporadic shortages which have ham,

reported advances occurred. The
Italian communicate said an Axis
naval base in Tunisia had been
bombed and the German that the
Allied-held Algerian port Of Bone
had been raided by Axis planes.
(The British radio, recorded by
CHS in New York, said that Allied
parachute troops have operated
only about 4 miles southwest of
Tunis These. presumably, were
demolition units which previously
had been reported flown behind
the Tebourba line on missions
against Axis supply lines)
Although the Berlin radio broad
cast report that Axis forces had
occupied the Tunisian seaport OF
Tabarka, about so miles west of
Tebourba. this claim was not made
officially in the Nazj communicate
and Allied sources doubted that it
was true. They said it would have
meant German penetration
through strongly held Allied ter.

By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-Consumer
buying this week continued to sur
pass previous like periods but actual
sales totals were nearer to last years
levels because of absence of high
priced durable goods from the mar
ket, Dun e. Bradstreet said today.
Another factor pairing aggregate
sales was the shift of considerable
gift buying to October and No
vember.
AS Christmas shopping rapidly ap-
preached its zenith, many city re-
tailers heightened store hours to &C
commodate shoppers.
The war influence was evident
aside from the fact there were re-
duced supplies OF priorities mer-
chandise in that the buying of bet
ter goods seemed to be the trend.
Better-than-average sales gains
were noted in department, variety
and food stores. There we're nu-
merous calls for apparel. iewelry and
duration type" goods, while luxury
merchandise sales were reported
strong in war-boom centers.
Medium priced holiday dresses
were active while sales were of
somewhat in low-priced lines and
some other apparel lines. Turnover
in mems furnishings was heaviest
in months Home furnishings sales
suffered slightly because of lack of
merchandise, but small wares and
dry goods moved well.
Reserve Board Reports.
The Federal Reserve Board re-
ported that department store sales
last week were 9 per cent higher
than the corresponding week a year
ago.
In the preceding week such sales
were l per cent less than in similar
period in l94l, while in the four
weeks ended December 5. they were

SEATTLE. Dec. ia young, I'M
identified Army ofiicer at Fort Lewis,
Wash. has been arrested in connec-
ton with a reported attempt to
Willy President Roosevelt" and form
a subversive element within the
Army, the Post-Intelligencer said
today.
1T is understood" the newspaper
said, that the of1icer mailed sedi-
tious literature to members OF the
one-time America First Committee
and to William Dudley Pelley's Silver
Shirts. The arrested officer likewise
is reported to have attempted to
organize a subversive organization
within the Army itself"
The Post Intelligencer described
the officer as "a young man not
long out Of college and with
radical political background" and
said he faces charges of sedition,
punishable by from 10 to 20 years
in an Army disciplinary barracks"
John Boettiger, son-in-law of
PRESIDENT Roosevelt, is publisher

The foregoing story originally
bore specific restriction" from
the Army authority at Fort Lewis
saying it had been approved for
publication provided nothing larger
than a one-column headline were

Nations editors resulted.
Later the Office of Censorship in
Washington informed editors they
could use the story without restric-
ton of press headlines or typo

kind"

vestigation of the Fort Lewis re-
striction.
Maj. Gen. Kenyon A. Joyce, COM
handing general of the 9Th Service
Command, which includes Fort
Lewis, had no comment on the re-
striction.
The Post Intelligencer said the
reporter who obtained the story
after several days investigation SUBJ
mitted it to the military for ap-
proval and the question was raised
whether publication at this time
would interfere with the investiga-
ton still being conducted at Fort
Lewis.
Mutual Agreement.
TT was suggested that if the story
was handled conservatively and no.
displayed in an alarmist manner
publication would be proper.
1T was then mutually agreed that
a ne-column head would be ade-
quate and the story was thus dis
played on the first page of the Post
Intelligencer in all of It's editions.
The Associated Press was in
formed of this mutual agreement by
the Post-Intelligencer so that Asso-
ciated Press could advise its men,
bers of circumstances under which
the Post-Intelligencer obtained the
story.
The st-Intelligencer does not
feel that there has been any effort
by the military authorities to dictate
to it the manner of playing the news
Rather. the ost-Intelligencer feels
that the military authorities were
extremely cooperative and that the

individuality of overplaying the

"A company of enemy infantry
