Rationing Levels
Consumers Ratio

Chicago. Dec. 22-UP-Rationlng
in the United Kingdom has level
ed down the consumption OF tho
wealthy and leyeled UP the con-
sumption OF the poor" Sir John
Orr, director OF Rowett Institute,
Aberdeen. Scotland, disclosed here
recently.
The fact that all persons in the
poorest class are working in war
industries and receiving better
wages has Afforded them more and
better food than they ever enjoyed
before the war" Sir John said.
"Lendiease shipments from the
United States, for which we are
very grateful. and big Increase in
domestic food production" the
Scottish educator said, have eu-
abled people in the United King
dom to eat 30 per cent more yege-
tables and drink 20 per cent more
milk than before the war"
Consequently, despite 10 per
cent increase in wartime food re-
quirements, the average islander
now enjoys a more healthful and
plentiful diet.
"Vlctor" Gardens Vital
Most influential In boosting do
nestle food production were the
100000 truck or victory" gardens
that dotted the cities, suburbs and
villages OF TIT Island last summer
as they did in America, Sir John
pointed out. Moreover, there are
more dairy cows IN the Kingdom
than before the war.
The ratio OF nome production 70
consumption has risen from 30 per
cent 10 nearly 50 per cent during
the war" Sir John said.

Mersa Matruh is only 260 miles
from the German airdromes in
Crete, and an air-borne attack on
the British base from that direction
is by no means impossible. The de-
velopments of the next few days
may be highly significant: If the
Germans are going ahead. we shall

BY MAJ. GEORGE FIELDING
ELIOT,

The Libyan campaign is develop
ing much as expected. In my column
of June "a pointed out that Field
Marshal Rommel seemed likely to
press his advantage energetically
and without waiting for reinforce
ments or reorganization: that the
Importance of time was so great that
he would be rather more likely to
make his attack on the short direct
line along the coast than to at
tempt a f1anking movement through
the desert. This he has done. pene-
trating Egyptian territory to the
vicinity of Sidi Barrani.
He thus returns to the Axis high
water mark of September, l940,
when the Italian forces under Mar
shall Graziani reached this point.
Before the Germans lies the same
70-mile stretch of waterless desert
from Sidi Barrani to Mersa Matruh
which Graziani was unable to nego-
tiate then and which may well give
Rommel trouble now.
Then, as now. the British seemed
to have determined to make their
main stand before Mersa Matruh, in
a position in which their own supply
advantages are great. while the Ger
man supply situation will be difficult.
Motor Road Is Vital.
1t seems likely that the British
commander has in mind the motor
road stretching southweStward from
Mersa Matruh ITO miles to the oasis
of Silva. BY operating in front Of
this road, he would have an excel
lent line of lateral communications.
and if sufficient mobile troops are
available he might be able to pre-
vent any German penetration
through the desert should Rommel
decide to try sweep around the
British flank
This motor road, the only one
available in this area, is a military
feature of great Importance, and as
long as the British can prevent the
Germans from cutting 1t, they

Cargo Vessel Kept AfIoot

GULF COAST PORT, June 26.
A sturdy American cargo vessel
with half her starboard side blown
away by an Axis torpedo-has COM
pleted an incredible 12-day voyage
home, the 9th Naval District re-
vealed today.
Even the officers were amazed
at the crafts performance when
they viewed the damage in a Gulf
port drydock. However, the ship
will sail again as soon as the gaping
hole in her steel plates Is repaired.
Only two men were injured,
neither seriously, when the ship
was torpedoed at sos pm. on May
20 in the Caribbean. The missile
from an enemy submarine, which
was not sighted, struck amidships
on the starboard side.
Crewmen said they began navi-
eating on zig-zag course along
reef after being hit and about three
hours later saw a black puff of
smoke and a geyser of water rise
nearby.
They could not decide whether
another torpedo from the undersea
craft had hit the reef or whether
the enemy craft itself had plowed
into the rocks.
The ship. running empty, ducked
into little bay for emergency re-
pairs just before daylight the next
morning and then for II days and
nights pushed across the Caribbean
and the Gulf of Mexico, riding
steadily despite the great hole in
her side
When I saw that hole was
more scared than I was when the
torpedo hit us said Second Mate
N. Smuckler with a wry grin. Il
don't see how the old girl brought
lis home. I'm telling you, half the
ship was gone. The hole extended
right down to the keel and the
keel was twisted"

should be able to hold silva and to
deal with any German mobile COL
umns that might seek to penetrate
the desert defenses of Egypt.
Another feature favorable to the
British is the fact that they still
hold the oasis of Giarabub. so miles
west of silva and inside the Libyan
frontier This advance post would
threaten the flank of any German
thrust toward silva as long as the
British could maintain a reasonably
strong and we'll supplied mobile force
there. The communications between
silva and Giarabub are good.
Thus. the British have some ad-
vantages of terrain and communica- =
tions. but their ability to exploit
these advantages is largely depend
ent on the numbers of troops and
the amount of equipment they have
at hand
AS previously remarked. the air
may we'll prove the determining
factor. Gen Auchinleck's greatest
need will be for accurate and timely
information Of what the enemy is
doing. If his air force can obtain
this information. his superior COM
munications will enable him to ex-
plot it.
II he has enough air striking
power this will form an admirable
motive reserve for use in defensive
area where the distances are so great
and the security of outlying positions
like silva and Giarabub so i'm
portant. Also an adequate partol of
the desert between Mersa Matruh
and silva can hardly be maintained
by ground forces alone.
Thrust at Mersa Matruh Likely.
The keystone of the British posi-
ton Is unquestionably Mersa Ma
truh. This town has direct rail con-
nections with the depots in Egypt
and 1t formed the British advance
base for all the operations in Iibya.
Considerable quantities of supplies
are collected there and the harbor
permits Of reinforcements and sup
ply by sea
Just west of Mersa Matruh is the
junction of the desert road to Sowa.
with the main coastal road running
west to Sidi Barrani and the Egyp-
tian frontier. II Mersa Matruh is
taken, silva and Giarabub cannot
be maintained.
Thus Rommels most likely move
would seem to be thrust straight
onward from Sidi Barrani toward
Mersa Matruh. However, the far

Ing is possible under the B plan.
In establishing value of rationing
coupons at four gallons each, OPA
emphasized the value is subject to
change in accordance with any
change in the Easts petroleum sup
ply situation.
Should the need for occupational
driving be greater than the $50

books but less than the 470 to be
obtained from B. the supplemental
book will be tailored" by extend
ing the expiration date beyond the
three-month minimum. In such
cases the date of expiration will be
marked on the book.
To obtain a c ration book a car
owner must show that his needs

tional gas obtainable in the B book
He must prove that his occupa tional
driving exceeds 470 miles q month.
In addition, he must belong to the

ical care, maintenance of public
utilities, carrying farm labor. giving
religious comfort or assistance and

coupons will be IL gallons each.
Operators of such vehicles as
trucks, taxis, buses, hearses. ambu-
lances, rental vehicles and Gov
ernment cars will be issued S books.
Operations of these vehicles will be
controlled, it was explained. but
will not necessarily be curtailed by
the rationing plan. There will be
two types of S books. One called
ST. will have 96 coupons worth five

have 384 coupons of the same value.
Applicants may be issued either of
the S books, or both, depending
upon requirements for four month

the r book will have 96 coupons
valued at five gallons each. Nom
highway users will be allowed suf-
ficient ration to meet their neceS-
sary needs except in the case of

when the amount will be limited.
OPA also explained a procedure
for registering dealers and dis
tributors through local rationing
boards, designed to keep up the

determine whether rationing regu-
lations are being complied with.
Under this plan all dealers and
intermediate distributors-but not
licensed distributors-must report
