II is possible that the japanese

but the victory Of the Americans
Justifies their claim 10 superior

III of the zeros with a loss Of only

The Japanese then would at

OIL PEDDLERS
 STAY ON JOB
Despite Protested Inequal- ities Dealers Place Pa-
 triotism First

Boston, Dec 28 --(UP)-- Range oil peddlers here who had threat ened to stop deliveries stayed on the job today after postponing . meeting called in protest against what they called inequalities of dis tribution by wholesalers.
 The meeting, scheduled for yes- terday, was postponed until Wee Eesday at which time a committee of peddlers will present their com plaints to Gov. Leverett Saltonstall and State Emergency Fuel Con- servator Thomas F. Sullivan.
 The threatened holiday was de- layed after President Michael J. Prudente of the Independent Re- tail Oil Dealers Association tcld the deliverymen:
 "They tell us there Is oil coming into Boston, but where IS it? Iney have sent OPA chiefs from wash lngton urging us to stay in busi- ness but how can we stay in bust ness when our supply is choked oil. A lot of you are almost reaoy 10 throw up the sponge and go out oi business. I don't blame you, but for my part I know 1t Is our pa triotic duty to see that our custo- mers don't freeze"
 Dealers had complained that some wholesalers refused to sell them kerosene on grounds their regular customers would be de- prived of their share. And they said they were unable to meet ex- penses on the amount they were given to sell.

CHANGE IN LIBEL
 LAWS PROPOSED
Mass. Judicial Council Pr0- poses Protection of
 Press As Evil ExpOser

Boston, Dec. 28-(UP)-The Mas sachusetts judicial council sug- gested today that changes be made in state libel laws to protect news papers as the eXposers of evil and wrorgdoing.
 Whatever criticism may be made of the press" the council said in its 18th annual report, it still re- mains the best protection the pub lie has against wrongdoers, and the fearless exposure of evil by the press should not be hampered by the uncertainty which now exists as to the laws"
 The council, established in 1924 for the continuous study of the ju- dicial system, made its report on libel at the request of the Massa- chusetts Legislature.
 As to evidence of malice" the council recommended that state ments of the defendant differing in import from those declared on shall not be admissible to establish his malice. unless such statements were published in pursuance of a general scheme to defame the plaintiff"
 The council said IA days notice should be given the defendant ii the plaintiff proposes to introduce evidence of statements other than those declared on and that the de- fendant should be allowed to prove facts that would negative malice.
 It also recommended change to allow evidence. in mitigation of damages, that a plaintiff has brought other actions for sub stantially the same level.
 Tn regard to radio the council renewed a suggestion made two years ago:
 "Whoever, by himself or by his agent. makes a statement by radio broadcast which if published in writing would be Q libel, shall be deemed to have made and published q libel"
 The proposal, however. would not subject broadcasting stations to liability for statements of which they had no advance knowledge and so no opportunity to prevent.
