landings on the Solomon Islands and
New Guinea give them bases much
nearer Australia, but likely will not
mean q direct thrust against the

the campaign, . British source said
today.
The japanese could launch nui-
sance raids against Darwin, where
the Australians have built q naval
base, and other points in Australia,
but commitments elsewhere are
likely to preclude that at present, he
said.
This source added that the move
would give the Japanese more out
posts in their efforts to achieve sea
and air control of the South Pacific
and Q possible peg for an alternate
route in q broad plan Of southwark

Japan's immediate objective, how

Crude Demand
A Percent Less
Than Last Year

A reduction in the demand for
domestic crude Of only a b t
3-5 percent Is shown by the November
forecast of demand for motor fuel and
crude oil issued by the u. S. Bureau
Of Mines The estimated demand IN
November IS only percent less than
the actual demand in November 1871.
This is in the face Of the sharp drop
in the civilian use Of motor vehicles
and restrictions on the sale of fuel
oils. Fairly complete data for the third
quarter Of 1912 show an approximate
decline in total demand for all oils Of
about 9 percent compared with last
year.
The decline in total motor fuel de-
mand Of about II percent in the third
quarter and Of possibly is percent in.
the fourth quarter, compared with
1871, is the primary factor In the re-
duced demand for all oils. Stocks Of
motor fuel are smaller than one year
ago.
The Bueau is urging increased pro-
duction of fuel oil and less gasoline
which should result in a decline in
finished stocks in November.

that the plan ever existed came from
! William Green, president of the
/ American Federation of Labor.
In effect, the president gave Ickes
power to determine the amount, areas,
and the time of rationing petroleum
products wherever a shortage exists or
threatens. This meant that Ickes will
not have authority over gasoline ra-
tioning to save rubber. Except for II
eastern states and the District Of
Columbia, gasoline is now rationed
only to save rubber.
The White House said that Harold
D. Smith, budget director, in submit
ting the draft of the reorganization
order to the president, had expressed
belief that the proposal represented
the best definition of functions and
division Of responsibilities which can
be achieved at this time.
The title of Ickes' new office will be
petroleum administration for war"
The present office is called "office of
the petroleum co-ordinator for war"
authoritative sources who cannot be
identified said the president and Ickes
had agreed at a conference that the
job Of exercising overall supervision
of the federal manpower machinery
probably should go to some candidate
more available than the secretary.
1t was decided, these sources said,
that there would be too many COM
plications involved In a three-way
cabinet shift which would be neces- |
sary to switch Ickes from interior to
labor, in order to give him fun con-
troll over selective service as well as
industrial and farm labor.
1t was emphasized that the presi-
dent had not abandoned the idea of .
centering all manpower controls under I
one mantle only thing lacking at
the moment is an acceptable man.

delicious. While carrying the
flavor of real hickory smoke, it
is mild.
Besides being an ideal spread
for cocktail canapes, IT makes
a tasty addition to cream sauce
for such bland vegetables as

adds zest TO ham sandwiches
and cream sauces for hard
cooked eggs.
