rover, the OPA announcement
said.
This action follows an OPA sur
vey yesterday Of the troubles OF
local fuel oil dealers, in which deal
ers complained that the establish
ment of heating periods by OPA has
been one of the chief causes of their
difficulties under the rationing pro-
gram. One dealer told an OPA in
vestigator he was disregarding the
heating periods, because by observ-
Ing them he would be able to serve
only half his customers.
The possibility of further relaxa.
ton Of fuel oil rationing rules as
applied to the District will be dis
cussed Monday at meeting of OPA
officials and representatives of local
fuel oil dealers. The OPA survey
OF problems of local operators was
to be completed today and findings
analyzed for discussion at the Mon
day meeting.
Converters Aided.
The OPA also announced that
owners of apartment houses and
commercial buildings whose fur
naces can be converted from oil to
coal will be allowed fuel oil rations
beyond the end of the second heat
ing period If they can show that
they are actually in the process of
conversion.
Ihe arrangement under which
consumers can borrow" coupons to
get them through the second heat
Ing period was completed to aid
householders who want to appeal to
their local boards for more oil than
has been allowed them on the basis
OF their present application.
IT a home owner has been allowed
less oil than he believes he is en-
titled to-and as a result burns his
allotment for the first two heating
periods before coupons for the next
period become valid-he may take
an appeal to his local board. The
local board will issue special ration
coupons which will enable the con-
sumer to buy oil during the current
heating period.
The householder who has used up
his period l and period 2 cou-
pons may get currently valid coupons
only up to one-half of his ration
for period 3. The "3" coupons
will be exchanged at the present
value of the 81" and 20" coupons
that is, 10 gallons for a residential
coupon and 100 gallons for a COM
mercial or apartment house coupon
Follows Early Order.
The special arrangement for
apartment house and commercial
building owners followed the plan
outlined when OPA issued orders
earlier this month saying that own
ers of such buildings must convert
to coal If it is possible for them to
do so. Local OPA headquarters
previously had issued orders that

BY the Associated Press
LONDON, Dec. 19.-The Paris

The provisions of the new measures
include internment of all foreign
Jews, denial Of civil rights to all
French Jews and the annulment Of
naturalization papers held by French
Jews naturalized since August, 1925.
The wearing Of the Star Of Zion will
be made obligatory and divorces
between Jews and Aryans will be
facilitated, the radio broadcast said.
Special measures will be taken for
persons who were war casualties or
who rendered extraordinary service
to the nation, it was reported.

Increased Sub Toll
Weakens Jap Grip
On South Pacific
Seven More Vessels
Sunk by American
Underseu Craft
BY the Associated Press.

Weakening the japanese grip
on the South Pacific by a steady
slashing at her supply lines,
American submarines were seen
today as an undersea vanguard
of an eventual large-scale Allied
offensive against Japan.
With seven more enemy ships to
their credit, the subs emerged In
the role recently cast for the feet
by Secretary of the Navy Knox
that Of softening Japanese outposts
for invasion.
Yesterdays Navy communique
which told of the latest jolt at the
Japanese Pacific grip gave no de-
tails Of hows the undersea raiders
struck. but Secretary Knox previ-
ously had pointed out that the SUBJ
marine blows would be aimed at
cutting off supplies and reinforce
ments from the enemy's island
bases.
Blows to Enemy Shipping.
Already, he said, enemy shipping
was slashed near a point where such
deliveries were no longer being made
on scale adequate to maintain the
garrisons at full strength.
Latest toll of the American subs
was listed as large tanker, a large
cargo ship, medium sized tanker,
two medium sized cargo vessels,
one medium sized transport and a
trawler.
This brought to 105 the number
of vessels known to be sunk by
United States submarines - not
counting % listed as probably sunk
and % as damaged.
The specific area of the submarine
operation was not revealed, but Sec
retary Knox had given the under
sea raiders much of the credit for
reducing Japanese shipping, and
observers interpreted this as mean
ing the subs were operating far
closer to Japan's home waters than
other parts of the fleet.
Menace to More Ships.

where the supply lines run close to-

Easing Of Gas Ban.

I ronsit Use Up6 Pct:
Schools Shift Hours;
Glasses to Sturt at
10 AN. Next Week

Foreseeing an additional bur-
den on public transportation
over the 6 per cent increase
noted as Washington first felt
the OPA restriction on gas sales
this morning, the Board of Edu~
cation today voted to keep public
schools open Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday of next week
from 10 am. to $3.50 pm. -
Pointing out that the schools were
closed today, but would be open
Monday when the worst Of the jam
on public transportation is expected
to be felt, officials urged that,
parents arrange for their children to
and streetcars to get to school.
1t was indicated that some of the
bus lines serving the schools would
be the first to feel whatever re-
routing is decided on today at
meeting of the Public Utilities Com.
mission with transit officials.
Suburban Lines First to Go.
Supt. of Schools Frank w. Ballou
said he had been informed by Capt.
tai Transit Co. President E. D.
Merrill that If any services are dis
continued those on the short sub
urban runs may be the first to go.
Two lines cited by DR.. Ballou as
liable to be affected by the discon-
tinuance Of service were the Pine
hurst line serving Woodrow Wilson
High School and the crosstown line
serving Eastern High School. :
To relieve bus drivers of the ad-
ditional time required to take care
of handicapped children at the rush
hours, the School Board also voted
to open schools for the crippled
children and sight conservation
classes at 1890 am. and to close
them at pm.

Big Air Battles Fought
On Sta|ingrad Front;
Nazis Counterdttdck
Germans Trying to Relieve
Forces Between Don
And VoIeo Rivers
By EDDY GILMORE.

| MOSCOW, Dec. 19.-Major air
battles were fought on the Stall
ingrad front today as the Ger
man air force sought to relieve
the hard-pressed Nazi army be-
tween the Don and Volga Rivers
with mass bombings, while all
along the battleline German
troops were reported counterat-
tacking bitterly.
Near Velikie Luki on the central
front, only 80 miles from the old
Latvian frontier, the Russians re-
ported they had captured strategic
height from which new operations
could be launched.
Red Star, the Army newspaper, de-
clared that scouting operations
against Large enemy stronghold"
on the central front revealed that
the Germans were forcing civilians
to work on new Notifications under
muzzles of submachine guns.
The German aerial blows failed to
dislodge Red Army men from their
positions, and their ground activity
resulted in heavy losses to the Axis
legions, the Russians claimed.
Infantry and tanks were massed in
the struggle southwest of Stalingrad,
near Kotelnikovski, with the Ger
mans offering some of the heaviest
fighting of the campaign, and there
was no letup in the bloody tempo on
the central front, west of Rzhev and
along the Rzhev-Vyazma railway.
The Soviet midday communique
spoke of waves of German counter
attacks west of Rzhev. all of which
were reported repulsed, and in
another sector of that battle-ground
the Russians said their units stormed
through barbed-wire entanglements
to the enemy's advanced positions.
