Nation.W Wide Gasoline

Probe Of Shortage and
Delivery Methods
Bs TIE Associated Press.

Abandonment of plans for Nation
wide gasoline rationing was pre-
dicted in some congressional quar-
ters today as administration lieuten-
ants repeatedly gave the go
ahead" signal for a senatorial in
vestigation of the entire situation
Leaders were said to have agreed
to support . proposal by Senator
Maloney, Democrat, Of Connecticut
for a five-member special commit
tee with a $1,000 appropriation for
an immediate inquiry into shortages
of gasoline and fuel oil, as well as
the methods being employed to pro-
vide deliveries "for ordinary con-
sumner use"
While this investigation was ex-
pected to deal primarily with con-
ditions in the II Eastern States now
on short fuel rations, several Sem
ators predicted the inquiry would
have a direct bearing on any future
move to extend rationing to other
sections.
There have been indications that
expansion of the curtailment area
might depend largely on the sue
cess or failure of the current scrap
rubber collections, but Senators Con-
nally of Texas. Thomas Of Okla
homa, and Wheeler of Montana,
Democrats, said they did not be-
lieve there would be any Nation
wide rationing.
Il think the people are doing q
better job now Of conserving rub
Der by cutting down on the use OF
their cars than could be done by
Nationwide rationing Of gasoline"
Senator Connally told reporters.
Senator Thomas said he was con-
vinced there was no need for limit
ing gasoline sales except in the
Eastern Seaboard and predicted
that no such action would be taken.
Senator Wheeler said protests from
all sections of the country were
so great it was his Judgment no
Nationwide rationing order ever
would be issued.
Senator Radcliff, Democrat. Of
Maryland, member of a committee
that investigated the gasoline situa-
ton last fall, expressed hope that
a speedy inquiry could be made
into what he termed the confusion"
of public statements concerning the
transportation of gasoline and fuel
oil to the Eastern Seaboard.

was compiled with the aid OF
Frances underground leaders in a
markable series of secret COM
munications with NaZi- dominated
Europe over a period of four months.
In order to silence criticism in
some quarters that the Free French
movement is not representative OF
all political factions, Gen. de Gaulle
sent to France by secret route a
document outlining his political be-
liefs. the sources said.
Tho document was circulated
among leaders of the anti-Nazi

Changes were suggested. partlcu-
larly by trade unionists. and all sug-
gestions returned to England were
approved by Gen. de Gaulle.
The revised political platform was
then sent back to France for ap-
proval.
1t was understood that all French
parties Endorsed the De Gaulle stand
except the Communists, who, while
supporting him unreservedly. said
they were not wholly in agreement
with some Of his postwar plans.
Sources close to the Free French
leader said his statement will pro-
vide for an election of a "parlia-
mentary" government after the war
and will demand the punishment of
the French Fascist groups which

Tydings Introduces
Bill 10 Check Publicity
From u. :. Agencies
Measure Will Require
Statement on Costs OF
Equipment and SoIories
By ]. A. O'LEARY.

Chairman Tydings Of the spe-
rial Senate Economy Committee
today moved to give Congress a
closer check on Government pub
licity bureaus by introducing a
bill to require every Federal
agency to file with Congress a
copy of every pamphlet, circular,
speech or news release it issues
after July l.
A certified statement of the num-
her OF copies distributed would have
to accompany each item.
His bill would not deprive any
agency of funds this session of Con-
gress has granted for maintenance
of information services for the next
II months, but it paves the way for
restriction of such appropriations In
future years.
Requirements Of Bill.
II the bill passes each agency
would be required to include in its
estimates for the fiscal year l943
the following:
l. The amounts to be spent for
purchases of duplicating and print
ing equipment.
q The amount of salaries Of all
employees engaged in operating such
equipment.
3. The salaries of all persons en-
gagged in whole or in part in the
preparation of publicity.
The drafting of the bill follows a
report issued by the TydinngS Com
mittee three weeks ago. asserting
that the news releases sent out by
the Government in a week would
fill 875 newspaper columns. A single
weeks output covered 2,039 type
written pages and the number re-
ceived by any large newspaper In a
week weighs nearly II pounds.
The report also charged that
many Of these so-called news re-
leases seem to assume that the en-
tire population of the United States
has a mental level OF about 10 years
of age" AS an illustration. Senator
Tydings cited bulletin telling FAM
lilies how to spend Sunday without
q car.
Wants to Show Cost.
In offering the bill today, Senator
Iydings said:
To allay counter-attacks that
will be sponsored by the bureaucrats
whom this legislation will most
affect. want to state emphatically
that it does not tie the hands of
any of the agencies of the executive
branch of the Government, but I
want equally emphatically to i'm
press all concerned that it will pro-
vide hereafter a public showing Of
the cost
This is necessary as a direct re-
suit of the wanton publicity activ-
tiles of many agencies of the Federal
Government. 1t will also provide a
central place where each member of
Congress may go and see for him.
