Washington, Sept 9-UP-The
governments assumption OF strict
control over the use Of more than
5000 900 commercial vehicles in the
United States today set a pattern
which could be applied to private
passenger cars should such restric-

sized that private automobiles
would not be affected.
But the new regulations-setting
up nationwide rationing of gasoline,
tires and parts for 100000 nom
military trucks. 1870 buses and
$4,000 taxicabs-could easily be
modified TO apply to 20 odd millions
OF private automobiles.
Some transportation experts
have argued that mileage controls
should be placed over all motor
cars to conserve precious rubber

The two had planned to locate a
hall in the garage Immediately west
of the Huron River OH the north
side OF Michigan Ave. They as
sured the council that il they were
granted a license they would con-
duct a clean, wholesome amusement
place at which there would be only
soft drinks available and no Sunday
dancing. The hall would be closed
at 1900 a. m. each night except
Saturday when the closing hour
would be midnight. There would be
no taxi dancers allowed and a
doorman would be on duty TO see
that no undesirable characters fire.

also offered 20 provide bond guaran-

taverns of questionable reputation

 Alaska Road Coming ks
 From West Coast Up

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. The proposal before Congress to author ize second highway linking the United States with Alaska has won the support of Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes.
 This was made known by Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond. whose bill authorizing a $25,000, 900 appropriation to pay for the con struction of a second road previ- ously was drowned upon by the War and Navy departments and the Director of the Budget in writ ings to Chairman Cartwright of the House Roads Committee.
 Says Is Necessary
 Ickes said that although the military highway now being con- ,tructed by the War Department would connect Fort John, B,C., with Alaska, in my opinion 1t is still necessary that the President De authorized to proceed with construction of another direct highway connection between the West Coast and Alaska.
 Accordingly 1t is recommended hat House Resolution 7284 be enacted
 In reporting adversely on the .egislation. the Budget Director said is not in keeping with the pro ram of the President now.
 Dimond's bill would authorize a military supply highway which would follow the route from Prince George, B.C., to Whitehorse, where t would connect with the present highway.
 The Delegate from Alaska said hat the route proposed is one recommended by the Alaska h. sernational Highway Commission appointed four years ago.
 Isn't Dead Issue
 Said Dimond, T am much pleased with Ickes' report because 1t means that a second highway isn't | dead issue in the Administration. But prospects for it's construction ion't look any too promising for he next l2 months at least"
