Rickenbacker Arrives
In In5anFrancisco, Lean,
Reticent and Happy
Fumed Ace Won't Talk

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1s.-Capt.
Eddie Rickenbacker, the man who
always comes back, Is In America to-
day-suntanned, grinning and rarin'
to 60 again.
He arrived yesterday, wearing an
outfit picked up all across the Pa
ciflc-a Marine sun helmet, an Army
shirt and pair of Navy trousers
Some deep, new lines in his face
and noticeable loss of weight gave
evidence of the ordeal Capt. Ricken-
backer survived after his plane, on
special mission, was forced down in
the Pacific and was lost for "a days
One member of the party of seven
died from the hardships.
An ambulance arrived at the air
port to take the flying hero of two
wars to his hotel, but Capt. Ricken-
backer laughed at the idea and
walked of the field.
At the hotel he was the same old
RICK laughing and joking. But
there was one difference-he
wouldn't talk Of his experiences.
He was under Army orders to give
out no statement until he made his
official report to Washington. He
interpreted his instructions so
literally he wouldn't even talk about
the weather.
1t was evident though, that Capt.
Rickenbacker felt pretty good to be
back in America. He found it diff
cult to disguise his tremendous con-
fidence in his luck-the luck that
has saved him time after time in
career of close brushes with death.
Capt. Rickenbacker couldn't hide,
either, his anxiety to see his wife.
She and Secretary of War Stimson
were steadfast in their confidence
that the-missing-ace would be
found, while most of the world had
given up hope.

Mr.. Brown agreed with the OPA
Investigator that clerical work may
become lighter, after initial rec
ords have been set up, and clerks
become familiar with the system.
But he denounced the rationing
system as "the most chaotic ever
visited on any industry"
Inequalities Criticised.
The fuel oil dealer criticized Gin
equalities" in the rationing system,
declaring that some of his customers
already had used all their coupons
for the second heating period, while
others still have coupons from the
first period.
The OPA investigator was D. w
Goldthorp, who for IA years was
managing editor of the Fuel Oil
Journal and is now with the OPA
Oil Rationing Division.
Mr.. Goldthorp, who questioned
the dealer concerning the increase
in operating costs caused by ration
ing and his ability to supply fuel oil
to his customers, said that no imme-
diate action could be taken as a
result of the information obtained
today. The information would have
to be "analyzed," he said.

Allied Gamble 10 Win

Almost Successful
Ground Forces Outrun
Air Coveroee Deliberately.
London Sources Say
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 18.-The Allies de-
liberately gambled in their rush into
Tunisia, knowingly outrunning their
air coverage in an attempt to head
off the Germans and they almost
got away with it, military sources
said today.
The Germans were able to occupy
Tunis just a little too fast, however,
and now are believed to have more
than 10000 troops in the French
protectorate, these sources added.
The Allied drive was stalled 20
miles from the Mediterranean
strongholds Of Bizerte and Tunis
first by the lack of airfields to give
the Allies planes adequate mobility
and later by autumn rains and thick,
sticky mud.
Medjez el Bah, gateway to the
enemys two strongholds, remains in
Allied hands, however, an Allied
headquarters spokesman said in a
review OF the Tunisian situation.
Allied positions run more or less
north and south through Medjez ell
Bah, which We hold" he said.
A period of building strength,
both aground and in the air, now
has Set in for both sides, he asserted,
pointing out that the British 1st
Army and its motorized United
States contingent has advanced
more than 400 miles in less than a
month. >t FS1
The spokesman said the Germans
had q great advantage in holding at
Bizerte and Tunis the only good
operational airfields in that part Of
the world.
He praised the French under Gen.
Henri Giraud for playing an impor-
tant part in the Tunisian operations
as sort of a covering screen while
We were coming up"

Mrs, Murray also said that last
night the board had on hand less
than 500 envelopes for mailing Of
fuel oil ration coupons. and that
these also had been requested but
had not been delivered.

Charles M. Jones, chairman of

OF Seeing Albania
Freed From Fascists
Red Statement PuruIIeIinq
HuII's Believed Intended
To Offset Propaganda
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
MOSCOW, Dec. 18.-The Soviet
government, In statement carried
by Tass today, formally went on
record as sympathizing with the
struggle OF Albanian patriots against
Italian occupation forces and said it
wished to see Albania restored to
independence.
CThis paralleled a ctatement
eight days ago in Washington by
Secretary of State Hull0
The statement carried by Tass, the
official Russian news agency, said:
in connection with inquiries re-
ceived with regard to the attitude
of the Soviet government toward
Albania, the Peoples Commissariat
for Foreign Affairs explains that the
Soviet Union fully sympathizes with
the courageous struggle for liberia
ton waged by Albanian patriots
against the Italian occupationists,
does not recognize any claims of
Italian imperialism to Albanian ter
ritory and wishes to see Albania
freed from the yoke of the Fascist
invaders and restored to independ-
ence.
"The Soviet government is GER
tain that the struggle of the Al
banian people for its independence
will merge with the struggle for lib
Grafton waged by other Balkan peo-
Piles oppressed by Italy-German
occupationists and that these peo-
Piles in alliance with all freedom
loving countries will oust the in
vaders from their land.
"The problem of the future state
system of Albania is her domestic
affair and must be decided by the
Albanian people itself"
Secretary Hulls statement De-
cember 10 made clear that "the
restoration of a free Albania is
inherent" in the principles of the
Atlantic Charter.
A double purpose was seen in the
statement: To nullify Axis prop.
aganda to the effect that Albania
would not be restored after an
Allied victory and to encourage AL
banians to increase their resistance
to the occupation troops.
