Detroiter Drowned
Three Months Ago

The body of Anthony Hnatiuk,
24year-old Detroit war worker
who drowned June 8 in the Cou-
chez Gravel Pit, IA Mile road
near Gratiot, was recovered yes
terday by sheriffs deputies.
Hnatiuk, a metaiiurgist en-
ployed at the Ford Rouge plant,
disappeared as he was swimming
across the pit with Harold
Vokes. "a, of Detroit. He lived
al 1880 Omira and was "a years
old.
DR.. w. II. Sibrans, of East
Detroit, who performed the post
norton, said a hole behind
Hnatiuk's right shoulder had ap-

Deputies believe the cable kept

WASHINGTON, Sept. Up
Fuel oil rationing and prob
ably further curtailment of gaso-
line consumption today confront
ed Eastern householders and mo-
florists.
Confirming reports that the
East would have less oil for
heating homes, War Production
Chief Donald NJ. Nelson assert
ed yesterday that rationing
program would be announced
soon, perhaps later this week,
and might affect some midwest
ern states.
At the same time, commit
tee formed by the petroleum in
dustry war council to Study oil
trends suggested that because
Eastern gasoline consumption in
the last two months exceeded
expectation the four gallon-unit
value of ration coupons might
have to be reduced.
Commenting on the situation
at his press conference, Presi-
dent Roosevelt said the curtail-
ment of fuel oil likely would be
25 per cent in some localities.
Nelson observed that the ques-
ton of which states to include
in the rationing area would have
to be worked out with several
other details. The reason for
extending rationing to the Mid
west, he added, would be to
make additional tank cars avail
able to supply the East.
Officials studying fuel oil prob
lens who declined to be quoted
by name, indicated that basic
ration sufficient to heat homes
to an average temperature of 68
degrees was being considered
with supplemental supplies to be
issued on the basis of need.
To induce conversion of heat

ing equipment from oil to coal
wherever possible, these sources
said, il was planned to withhold
supplemental rations fro m
householders who neglected to
comply.
The petroleum industry COM
mittee reported, meantime, that
while only 435,000 barrels of
gasoline would be supplied daily
to the East for the next seven
months, consumption averaged
Sill, 900 barrels a day from July
% to Aug. %.
The committee asserted that
further restrictive measures on
gasoline consumption in the East
we're obviously essential to as
sure sufficient supplies for trans
portation of enough fuel oils 10
meet the East's winter demands.
Should future check of the in
Dictated consumption reveal that
this is not being accomplished,
the committee said, "the obvious
alternative is the reduction of
the value of gasoline rationing
coupons"

Sleek Shops,
YaWls Hunt
Axis Subs

AN EAST COAST PORT,
Sept. - R- Once their sleek
hulls cut the peaceful waters of
Newport, Long Island Sound
and Bermuda to vie for silver
regatta cups, but now these
ocean-going sloops and yawls-
dull gray but just as fast as ever
are after bigger game.
Axis submarines are their
quarry as they range the Allan
tic coastal waters daily in the
role of auxiliary "eyes" for the
coast guard, and the shippers of
these one-time pleasure craft are
finding it's no job for prima-
donna yachtsmen.
Tough old oystermen, young
college graduates and middle
aged yachtsmen, members of the
Coast Guard temporary reserve,
make up the crews of the racers
that were the pride of the New
York, Larchmont, Stamford and
other yacht clubs and they're
prouder of their coast guard rat
ings than of any old trophy.
Some fellows came down
here for a yachting cruise and
folded up when they got out
there in the ocean," said one
member of the coastal picket
patrol, Frazar B. Wilde, Jr., 23-
year-old son of the president of
the Connecticut General Life In
surance Company, Hartford.
Sailing out of this port, the
yachts take up stations miles out
in the Atlantic and lie to with
shortened sail for a week at a
stretch while their crews scan
the seas for undersea raiders. On
sighting a sub or unidentified
plane, the warning is flashed by
radio-telephone to Coast Guard
stations ashore and thence to
headquarters of the eastern sea
frontier, which marshals defense
forces.
Lieut.. Rufus c.. Smith of the
Coast Guard Reserve. command
ing the picket patrol, said he
had almost 100 men serving un-
der him but that he needed
many moro, as well as more
sailing vessels, to help keep en-
envy submarines away from the
coast.
