leader, now in prison, and Gerhard

Decentralization Instituted.
Decentralization proceedings were
instituted against Kuhn, serving a

charged with evasion of the Selec-

he was held in $4,000 bail yester-

Expresses Hope Cos
And Rubber Can Be
Handled Separately

President Roosevelt said late
today that the Government
might have to take over all the
automobile tires in the country If
the war situation gets worse.
He. still clings to the hope. how
ever, the President told a press con-
ference, that in some way the tire
problem can be separated from the
gasoline problem. .
Mr.. Roosevelt emphasized that his
purpose Is to save the Nation-not
tires or gasoline as such.
Wider Rationinx Considered.
The scrap rubber collection drive
has not gone far enough as yet to
determine whether Nation wide gas
oline rationing will be necessary to
conserve tires, the President said.
He added that progress was being
made In ascertaining just where the
country stands on the rubber prob
lem. -,
At a guess, he said it looked as II
the scrap rubber supply was better
than the lowest estimates that had
been made and lower than the
highest estimates.
Asked specifically If such things
as door mats should be contributed
to the salvage campaign, the Presi-
dent said he believed that rubber In
door mats can be used by the Army
and Navy for a great many useful
purposes.
Hopes to Separate Problems.
In connection with the possibility
Of Nationwide gasoline rationin9
to help conserve rubber, Mr.. Roose-
| velt emphasized that 1t was only
hope as yet that in some way the
rubber and gasoline problems can
be separated. < a
He remarked that If he lived near
an oil well and had good tires on
his car, he would find it hard to
understand why he should not use
the available gasoline for driving
essential to his business.
Separating the problems, how
| ever, he said, Is somewhat similar
to trying to give q total figure In
adding Apples and tomatoes-you
have to use both terms.

As Discriminatory
By the Associated Press.

BOSTON, July THE Atlantic
Coast Oil Associations Confer
ence today urged President
Roosevelt to organize the supply
and distribution of petroleum
products under one responsible
officer, and protested imposition
of increases in the price of gaso-
line and light fuel oils in only the
II Eastern oil-rationed States.
In telegram sent to the White
House, the conference said its men,
bers concurred in Price Administra-
tor Leon Henderson's statements
that the increased costs resulting
from submarine warfare against the
tanker feet should be shared by the
whole people.
The conference said the people
Of the Eastern States accepted gas
oline rationing patriotically in the
belief they were thus permitting
accumulation of reserves Of fuel oil
for winter use. These consumers
are now becoming aware that
they are about to be severely ra-
toned on the fuel oil their northern
winters so desperately demand.
They are aware of the fact that
they are paying a million dollars a
day over and above what they
should be paying for gasoline and
oil and that this, in effect, is a spe-
cial discriminatory tax on the citi-
zens of II Eastern States"
The telegram said the consumers
were "exasperated" rather than
apathetic in their reaction to sug-
gestions that they convert heating
plants from oil to coal, since the
cost would be from $7s to 500 In
each case, and mo figures have been
advanced reliable enough to con-
vince our consumer that he will be
assured of his fuel requirements
even If he does convert to coal"

FOkker = Great Designer.
Although Holland was at peace
during the first World War and did
not feel the terrific impetus of the
development of aviation, 1t produced
even then one of the worlds out
standing airplane designers, An
thony Fokker. 1t was this Hol-
lander who designed the planes
which were the backbone Of the
German air force and who invented
the synchronized propeller and
machine action. In the years
following the armistice, Fokker de-
signed outstanding transport ma
chimes which were widely used in
the United States, Holland and
other countries.
The Dutch were quick to see the
commercial possibilities of air trans
port. In October, 1919, number
of farsighted invidivuals, helped and
encouraged by the government,

available indications, at speed bet
ter than they had attained last fall
before the Pacific war started. At
that time they had trimmed approx
imateiy year off the original 1857
schedule for completing the two
ocean-fleet program.
Before the war started there was
general acceptance in naval circles
of the belief that American officers
and seamen we're better trained than
the Japanese, that American guns
were more effective. that American
ships were tougher and could hit
harder.
Since December 7 the Navy has
made exhaustive studies of combat
data to discover whether and to what
extent that belief was correct.
Despite the fact that the Japanese
with their overwhelming forces have
been able to advance the whole
length of the China Sea, the con-
clusion has been that American
forces have proved themselves quail
itatively superior sea fighters.
Five Engagements Cited.
Aside from American submarine
raids and torpedo-boat forays. there
have been five engagements, eXclu-
sive of Pearl Harbor, on which this
conclusion was primarily based
These started with the battle of
Macassar Strait in late January.
American and Dutch forces there
combined to sink or damage IS
Japanese ships.
Then came the January 81 raid on
Japan's Marshall and Gilbert Island
bases. Units of the Pacific Fleet
demolished Notifications on three
islands, sank or wrecked l6 ships,
including an aircraft carrier and
cruiser, and destroyed Al planes.
About February 20 United States

landing units at the island of Bali
and sank two destroyers.
Last week, in naval activity pre-
