On Fuel Oil Use BRINGS
Praise From Officials
Dealers and OPA Loud
Plon to List Maximum
Consumption to Dote

The Evening Stars plan, put in
operation yesterday, to carry daily
in its weather box in the upper
left-hand corner of page Al a re-
minder to consumers OF the maxi
mum percentage of fuel oil which
should have been used to date under
the OPA rationing system was
praised today by both oil dealers
and OPA officials.
The daily reminder was described
by them as an effective manner by
which to encourage the public to
conserve fuel. But along with this
appraisal they gave warning that
the real value of the effort on the
part of The Star would not be real
lied unless consumers took time to
study the meaning of the percentage
published and the method by which
it was determined.
The percentage, it was explained,
applies to each individual consumer
regardless of the amount of his re-
duction under the rationing system.
For example, on basis of the latest
figure, the householder whose allot-
ment was cut only Is per cent, as
well as the less fortunate household
err whose supply was slashed so per
cent or more, should have used to
date only els per cent of his allot-
ment for the heating period ending
December 3 in order to be con-
sistent with OPA standards.
Sees Fuel Oil Economy.
Il frankly believe The Stars plan
will tend to save more fuel OIL" said
A. E. Dellastatious, manager of the
Washington Coal Co. Anything
that will help educate the public on
the best way to get along in the
present emergency will be helpful to
all of us. If this information is sup
piled daily and the system is kept on
consistent basis, consumers will
be more cautions and less wasteful."
w. c. Vernon of the A. P. Wood
son Co. is of the opinion the plan
will be of great help to the indi-
vidual provided it is studied and
understood generally.

similar system, based on weekly

soon will be released for various
sections of the country by OPA.
In issuing his statement, this Of
fetal stressed the Importance of
consumers understanding that the
OPA will not be able to increase
allotments regardless of the severity
of the winter. II the percetage in

exceeded his quota, it means he will
have to make up the difference in
some later heating period, the Of
fetal explained.
Fuel oil now is distributed through
the use of promisory notes under
which the consumer promises to re-
deem them later with rationing
coupons. The OPA has announced
that some leeway will be given to

an OPA regulation to cash in their
coupons for any heating period.
Use Of Notes Extended.
The use of promisory notes in lieu
Of coupons was extended Saturday
from November % to December /,
thus advancing the deadline more
than week.
In connection with the present
rationing system, fuel oil dealers
pointed out that residents of homes
with high ceilings are most likely
to suffer in case of a severe winter.
Allotments were made on basis
of 8-foot ceilings, without con-
sideration for the homes which may
have ceilings nearly twice that high.

I'VE need look no further than
Jesus Christ to justify our war to

knew he was going to be killed, yet
He 'steadfastly set His face toward
jerusalem One of the first things
he did In that alien enemy territory
was to drive the money changers
from the temple. No paciflst can
twist Jesus act into any other
meaning. He was righteously bel

The heart Of Christianity is the
missionary spirit. America, after We
win victory, will be a missionary for
decency and order throughout the
world, together with England, Rus

had the world viewpoint. America
can never turn back to old ways"

eentage of consumption up to a
particular date is based on the
OPA's recommendation maximum
of IS degrees for inside temperature.
As long as the outside temperature
remains at that level or higher, no
heat, according to OPA calculations,
need be provided inside the house.
System Worked Out.
In a system worked out by
Weather Bureau experts to compute
the amount of heat needed indoors
to bring the temperature up to IS
degrees, units of the measuring de-
vice are called degree days. These
degree days are computed by sub
tracing the mean temperature for
a given day from IS, as follows:
II the low temperature for given
day is AZ and the high for the same
period is 10, the two are added to-
gether and the total divided by 2
to gain the mean temperature, which
in this case would be Sc. The mean
thus would be less than IS, the
OPA maximum, and would give nine
degree days for that particular day
The normal number of degree
days for the heating season in the
Washington area, based on Weather
Bureau figures covering the last Al
years, is 4,500 Under the OPA ra-
tioning program, the season has
been divided into five heating
periods, and consumers have been
allotted 900 for each.
Since September 80, the date
used as the starting point for the
present season, $50 degree days have
been compiled. BY dividing this
figure by 900, a percentage of 625
is gained as the maximum amount
of oil which should have been used
so far in order to stay within the
OPA standard.

airy limitation placed by National
Economic Administrator James F.
Byrnes.
Scheduled for election as chair
man Of the. company as successor
to Mr.. Teagle was Ralph w. Gal
lagher, director and vice presi-
dent, who has been with the COM
pany for many years.
w. E. Pratt and Eugene Holman,
both directors, were expected to
succeed Mr.. Sadler and Mr.. Harper.
Company sources described Mr..
Teagle's withdrawal as a completion
of a resignation that had been Of
fered two years ago. Mr.. Teagle
will reach the company's manda-
tory retirement age of IS next May

To Coordinate Work
Of Selecting Sites

Defense Co-ordinator John Rus
sell Young today appointed COM
nllttee to coordinate the work OF
providing shelters for District citi-
zens during air-raid tests and actual

A central agency on which respon-
sibility for providing shelters could
be fixed was suggested by officials
following the last blackout when it
again was pointed out that citizens
who tried to follow the regulations,
ordering them to get off the street
during raid tests, had no place to go.
Members of the new committee
include the assistant to the En-
gineer Commissioner, a representa-
tive of the corporation counsel, and
Chief Air-Raid Warden William j..
Mileham. Corporation Counsel
Richmond B. Keech said he would
serve on the committee also.
The committee also is charged
with working out the form of agree
ment with owners or lessons of
buildings to be used as shelters.
This apparently takes in the fire
proof buildings selected by the Air
Rail Shelter Committee as being
safe places of shelter.
The Shelter Committee, headed
by Col. Beverly Snow, Assistant
Engineer Commissioner, has in
spected about LOO buildings, but
nothing had been done to work
