Holiday Travellers
Face Lack Of Space,
Rail Official Warns
Kelly Of PuIImun Co.
Praises Cooperation
Given by Public
BY the Associated Press.

AGO, Dec. 10. - Civilians
planning trips on the Nations rail.
roads during the Christmas holiday,
period will find shortage Of space "on
practically every train" George A.
Kelly, vice president of the Pullman
Co., said today. g..
At the same time, Mr.. Kelly said
the travelling public has been co.
operating with the railroads and
Army in allowing the lines to give
preference to troop movements and
to other duties in connection with
the war effort. Because of the in
creasing strain on existing railroad
equipment civilians recently were
urged not to make any unnecessary
train trips during the month ex-
tending to January IL. .--
Mr.. Kelly said it was "a compIi-
| ment to the good sense and cooper
alton of the travelling public that the
shift from peace to war travel, giv-
ing troops the right of way, has been
accomplished smoothly and without
panic or hysteria." .
Discussing the prospects for or
dinary civilian travel this winter,
he said three factors would deter
mine the rail and sleeping car ac-
commodations available. These
were, he said. the size of troop
movements; regional conditions.
with demands heavier In some
sections than others. and the CO.
operation of the public in observing
travel suggestions made by the rail-
roads and the Office of Defense
Transportation
Mr.. Kelly said that as the holi-
day travel period moves into high.
prospective travellers should obtain
sleeping and parlor car accommoda-
tions early, and he also urged that
necessary cancellations be made so
as to allow other travellers "vitally
needed space"
In urging decrease in pleasure
trips, the railroad and Army officials
said that in addition to movement
of troops, the lines also could give
preference to military personnel
going home for Christmas and re-
turning to camp to families visiting
relatives in camps, and to civilian
travellers engaged in war work.

same general area where John (Jake
the Barber) Factor was kidnapped in
1888, a crime for which Touhy and
Banghart were sentenced to prison
for 80 years.
Detectives have theorized that
Touhy, Banghart and the five who
escaped with them over the prison
wall would form new outlaw band.
The trail OF the fugutives never
mas been found beyond a west sub
urban point where they left a car
belonging to a prison guard which
they used in their flight.
The belief was expressed by in
vestigators, however. that they
would seek q hideout In the old

Chicago Elevated Strike
Called for Midnight
pv tha Assar;afAd nres,

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO, Dec. ia partial tie
up of Chicago's vital transportation
system appeared imminent today
after failure of a conciliation panel
to compromise a wage dispute be-
tween employees Of the city's jammed
elevated lines and the operating
company.
The $500 employe-members OF
the Amalgamated Association of
Street, Electric Railway and Motor
Coach Employees of America (AFL)
have voted to walk out at 1901 am
tomorrow unless the Chicago Rapid
Transit Co. grants wage increases
ranging from 9 to IA cents per hour.
The present hourly scale is from 81
to 90 cents.

The only answer. he said. would be

The only answer. he said. would be
elimination of the heating periods.
150-Gallon Minimum.
The operator who told the in
vestigator that he was disregarding
OPA's heating periods also said he
was refusing to make deliveries of
less than $50 gallons of oil. Gus
toners who would agree to take a
full tank, or in some cases $50
gallons, and pledge future ration
coupons for the oil were given serv-
Ice, he explained.
His average delivery in past years
has been 1877 gallons, he said, and
in order to serve his customers he
must operate only on full delivery
or nothing" basis. He said he would
not deliver to any person whose fuel
tank was less than rs per cent empty.
Abandonment of the automatic
delivery, system except in the case
of apartment houses, under which
dealers made regular deliveries of
oil after computing the date on
which a customers tank probably
will need refilling, was reported by
one operator.
Another company is attempting to
continue the system after adjusting
its computations for each customers
fuel oil use to conform to rationing
allotments. Whether automatic de-
hveries can be maintained, the
company head said, depends on the
extent Of the conflict with heating
period restrictions.
Manpower also is 4 problem, the
OPA survey showed. In one case,
TWO or more Of q fleet Of is tank
trucks remain idle each day because
OF inability Of the company to hire

overnight? Mr.. Henderson is Ill.
Even If he had continued, he would
have had to sacrifice some time to
maintaining his health. The load
of work and criticism he has been
staggering under would have wrecked
the health Of stronger men. 1t
brought return OF Mr.. Henderson's
old back ailment and damaged his
eyesight seriously
+ But Mr.. Henderson is no quitter.
It would take more than illness and
the threat of terrific drubbing at
the hands of Congress to cause him
to give up the fight he has waged
so hard and so long to prevent in
hation by rationing and price con-
troll. What, then, caused him to
step out?
The answer is James F. Byrnes, the
economic stabilization chief, "the
second President"
Mr.. Byrnes knew what was going
to happen to Mr.. Henderson when
the new Congress cracked down and,
as one observer put it, he knew that
that shouldn't be allowed to happen
to a dog" much less to one of the
New Deal stalwarts, who, no matter
what his faults. had given eight years
of tireless effort to the Government.
He knew also that in the bitter
fight that was coming the whole
anti-inflation program might be
left a heap of wreckage. So the
little second President" shifted into
high gear and turned on the heat.
He overrode the Presidents reluc-
tance to sacrifice Henderson. He
put Senator Brown of Michigan "on
the spot" where he couldn't say mo"
to taking over 1.-The difficult and
thankless task" as Mr.. Roosevelt
described it.
There is a story, too, that he
made a quick deal with the Con-
gress farm bloc which may have
far-reaching effects-may even
eliminate the fight for a change in
the parity law.
The result: There's an end to that
get Henderson movement which
had snowballed into an avalanche.
And one of the most colorful scrap
pers in Washington and perhaps
one of the most misunderstood men
Is out of the wartime Government
for the time at least. Those who
know the President and those who
know Mr. Henderson are sure that
once his health is recovered he'll be
| back.

verted to haul the pipeline oil East
ward.
Mr. Ickes' Office announced that
petroleum shipments to the East by
tank car in the week ended Decem-
ber IL totaled 736,099 barrels daily
This was a drop of nearly $1,000
! barrels from the preceding week,
another disappointment to oil Off
cials.
Barge Program Rushed.
Meanwhile, Chairman Donald M
Nelson of the War Production Board
announced approval of a program
for construction of barges, towboats
tugs and terminal facilities, which is
expected to increase oil deliveries to
the East by 10000 barrels a day
This program. however, will provide
little, if any, relief this winter, since
it will not be completed until next
spring.
Mr.. Leary, in a general discussion
OF the gasoline problem, declared all
unnecessary driving in the District
would be eliminated when the co,l-
pom suspension order is lifted. He
said Traffic Director Van Duzer in
formed him that driving here was
only about Is per cent below normal
The local rationing chief said re-
ports had been received indicating a
| number of gas stations closed yes-
terday for lack of fuel before the
order to restrict operations became
effective at noon.
Emergency RatiOns.
Mr.. Leary,s office last night issued
the following statement regarding
issuance OF emergency rations:
This office has interpreted the
regulations issued today by the OPA
1orbldding the honoring OF gasoline
ration coupons except T coupons for
commercial vehicles, and permitting
the honoring of one cupon of anv
other classification for emergency
use as meaning that gasoline sta
tons should honor one coupon of
any classification A, B or c, for nee
essary driving. This will assure the
granting OF the permitted ration to
persons completing a journey or for
transportation to or from essential
employment. This, of course, will
provide the doctors of the commu-
nifty with the gasoline necessary for
their work. No gasoline station
should, however. issue in any case
other than T rations, a ration OF
gasoline if the tank contains more
than the equivalent of the ration
sought. Gasoline dealers will be held
responsible for carrying out the
spirit of this order"
Public Cooperation Lauded.
Mr.. Henderson, in announcing his
hope that the ban on all but "T'
coupons will be lifted shortly, made
the following statement:
Reports from our regional offices
show that the public has, as always.
taken the Commander in Chief at
his word and recognized instantly
that this is military necessity.
"A thoroughly integrated plan is
being worked out to take the place
Of the suspension order and we
hope to be able to announce it by
Sunday and put 1t into effect Mon
day morning."
Mr.. Henderson said the regular
emergency gasoline delivery pro-
visions of the rationing regulations
remain in effect during the suspen-
sion. These provide that should a
motorist need extra gas after ex-
haustion of his coupons for some
life and death" driving he may OBJ

ing evidence that even the con-
templated restrictions under the
forthcoming regulations hardly
would cut gasoline consumption In
the East to the point made neces-
sary by depleted supplies.
Petroleum Administrator Ickes
said 365,000 barrels of motor fuel
will be available for distribution in
each of the remaining days of De-
cember. The January figure, even
lower. was placed at 331 900 barrels
day A spokesman for Mr.. IckeS
said the average recent consump-
ton under rationing was about
100000 barrels day. This repre-
sented cut of only $50 900 barrels a
day or 25 per cent from the days of
unrestricted motoring.
OPA said the recent reduction In
value of "a coupons from four to
three gallons resulted in a saving
of only 10000 barrels a day. Mr..
Ickes' figures of available supply
made allowance for new supplies of
gasoline which can be brought East
and gradual eating into whatever
reserves are left. Gas consumption
must be curtailed $4,000 barrels a
day the rest of this month and 49,
600 day in January, he said.
Fuel Oil Supply to Drop.
Mr.. Ickes estimated that $40 900
barrels Of light fuel oils TYPES used
for home heating would be avail
able each day for the remainder of
December while in January this
daily supply figure would drop only
slightly to 338,000 Figures for kero-
sene (used In space heaters were
$4,000 barrels daily for December
and 167 1000 for January Supplies
Of heavy fuel oils (industriaD were
282. 900 barrels daily for December
and 281 900 for January.
The overall total of petroleum
expected to be available for use
through January was said to be
about two-thirds of normal con-
sumption. The heavily Industrial
lied East, however, has increased
IN population since normal times.
Commenting on the effect of the
supply determinations, Deputy Oil
Administrator Ralph K. Davies said
military demands for petroleum
must come first" and added that
to date those requirements had been
met in full. He said supply figures
made allowance for the oil military
heads declared would be needed, but
should the services need any addi-
tional large amount. the figures
would have to be revised down.
ward"
Oil Situation Unchanged.
No statistics were Immediately
available as to the daily consumption
of oil for home heating either in
normal times or under rationing.
Mr.. Davies said there would be suffi-
cient oil to meet minimum require
ment for home heating" He did
not define minimum requirements
and spokesmen for his Office declined
to elaborate.
Officials saw little likelihood that
the Easts oil supply situation would
improve until well into February.
The giant new pipeline from Texas
to Norris City, ILL.,. which earlier
had been expected to be in opera
ton by this time, will not start to
pump oil until about February l..
At the start the line will pump about
100000 barrels of oil day. The
big inch" will not be in full opera
ton of 100000 barrels a day until
late March. This does not mean
that the East will benefit by that

causes Of the scarcity.

man proclaimed that there are no
ducks in the whole city" but his pro-
nouncement was softened by others
who said they had some ducks, but
that supplies were very scarce"
One dealer, who in an ordinary
year would have had some TOO tur-
keys on hand six days before Christ
mas. said he had "150 turkeys in
sight" They had been promised
him by friendly farmers in nearby
country sections, but he seemed
dubious about actual delivery.
