wide gasoline rationing probably
cannot start by July 1, Wednesday
considered plans for such a program
as rubber conservation measure

No final decision was taken 1T
Wednesdays REGULAR weekly board

M. Nelson said that the office of de-
fense transportation had submitted
plans for "rationing transportation
by rubber tired motor vehicles.
The July l date, which marks the
end of the 47-day temporary ration
ing of gasoline in the 17-state At
lantic coast area, has been mention-
ed unofficially as a possible time
for extending gas rationing through
out the nation.

we're adopted. The obstacles are

Capt. Cummings
Listed AS
Missing In Action

The War Department will consider
the persons serving in the Philippine
Islands as missing in action from
the da>e of the surrender CT Cor
regidor May 7. 1912, until definite
information to the contrary is re-
ceived, c. D. Cummings of Patagonia
was advised this week in a letter
from the War Department.
The letter. dated May 81, and
which referred to Mr. Cummings
son. Captain William Morse Cum
mincs, who last wrote his parents
in November, read as follows:
MI. C. D. Cummings,
Patagonia, Arizona.
Dear Mr.. Cummings: ~
According to War Department
records, you have been designated as
the emergency addressee of Captain
William Morse Cummings, 0-363991,
Cavalry. who, according to the latest
information available, was serving in
the Philippine Islands at the time
CT the final surrender.
1 deeply regret that it is impossi-
bic for me to give you more informa-
ton than is contained in this letter.
In the last days before the surren-
Ger of Bataan there were casualties
which were not reported to the War
Department. Conceivably the same
is true of the surrender of Corregi-
dor and possibly OF other islands of
the Philippines. The japanese Gov
ernment has indicated its intention
OF conforming to the terms of the
Geneva Convention with respect to
the interchange of information re-
garding prisoners of war. At some
future date this Government will
receive through Geneva a list OF
persons who have been taken pris-
oners of war. Until that time the
War Department cannot give you
positive information.
The War Department will consider
the persons serving in the Philippine
Islands as missing in action from
the date of the surrender of Correg-
idor, May 7, 1912, until definite in
formation to the contrary is receiv
ed. It is to be hoped that the ia
panese Government will communi-
cate a list of prisoners of war at an
early date. At that time you will
be notified by this office in the
event his name is contained in the
list of prisoners of war. In the case
of persons known to have been pres
ent in the Philippines and who are
not reported to be prisoners Of war
by the japanese Government, the
War Department will continue to
carry them as missing in action"
in the absence of information to the
contrary, until twelve months have
expired. At the expiration of twelve
months and in the absence of other

Recent legislation makes provision
to continue the pay and allowances
of persons carried in a missing"
status for a period of not to exceed
twelve months; to continue, for the
duration of the war, the pay and
allowances of persons known to have
been captured by the enemy; to
continue allotments made by missing

amounts specified in the ration
cards. The Gazette de Lausanne,
however, noted that their presence
alone was certain to intensity the
food problem in Southern France,
which already was poorly fed.
In Nazi Germany, while there is
almost no food now not rationed, the
situation at the beginning Of the
fourth war year Is considered by
neutral writer's to be generally bet
ter than in 1917-18.
Demands on Nerves Higher.
In contrast to this, however, ac-
cording to Der Bund," Bern
newspaper, the demands on the
workers nerves is incomparably
higher and despite all preparations
the people live from hand to mouth
while Goering tries to raise their
hopes with promises of increased
production next year. Small extra
rations have been ordered for
Christmas.
The bread ration, exceptionally
low in Europe, was raised slightly
in Italy last month, but the fat
problem remains knotty.
New clothing and shoe cards were
issued last month and further cut
the amounts of these essentials,
while the coal ration also was cut.
Finland is an agricultural liability
for the Nazis. who had to send them
grain and other foodstuffs, but even
so there have been food demonstra-
tions, especially in the cities.
In Norway, the Nazis instituted
new measures, calling for the
slaughter of 100000 cattle. The
country is facing real hunger.
In Denmark, cattle have decreased
from 3,300,00 in July, 1899, to $780,
600 this year; pigs from 100000 to
10000 and poultry from 9,100, 900
to II 200, 900 last year, with a further
cut since then.
Belgium and Holland also are
agricultural liabilities to the Nazis.
Only Is per cent of the population
is living on the agriculture of Bel
gium and 18 per cent in Holland. In
Central and Southeast Europe, the
situation is slightly better, Hungary
having so per cent of her people in
agricultural areas. Bulgaria 10 per
cent, and Rumania 72 per cent. But
even here, rations generally are un-
der Germany's.
The food situation is bad in Serbia
and especially unfavorable in Cro-
alta because of internal political
troubles. Here, as elsewhere, farm
ers refused to deliver grain at state
fixed prices, forcing the state itself
to buy on the black market to feed
the city populations.

Loss Of African Food
Supplies Brings New
Crisis in France
Community Kitchens Are
Established as Country
Faces Hard Winter
By the Associated Press,

BERN, Switzerland, Dec. 15.-
France. whose multiple political
problems are beginning to be over
shadowed by the sharper need to
supply the people with daily bread,
Is establishing community kitchens
in an effort to meet the rapidly
worsening food situation.
This is only one of the measures
expected to be taken by the food
ministry and the ministry of ma
tional economy in the endeavor to
solve problem tremendously aggra-
waited by the loss of supplies the
country had counted on from the
African colonies.
The other countries of Europe at
the same time are doing their
utmost to feed their people as winter
again sets in. .-..
The seriousness Of the French
food situation was underlined this
week when the food ministry de-
clared the future was "somber" and
that the difficult situation has be-
come formidable since the events of
North Africa"
Rations Face Cut.
The loss of this territory cost
France further decrease in fats,
meats, grains and vegetables, in
addition to some 4,70O,0OO hecto-
liters Q24,164,600 gallons) of wine,
with the certainty that officials
would be compelled to reduce the
already scanty rations.
The difficulty in distributing what
food is available prompted the
establishment of the community
kitchens, where meals will cost from
8 to l6 francs, based on monthly
incomes, with the meals the same
for all comers.
The loss of the African supplies
also will be felt by French prisoners
In Germany who have been receiv-
ing millions of food packages which
one Vichy correspondent described
as absolutely indispensable" for
their nourishment.
What the loss of the African sup
plies mean to the French can be
seen from the fact that this year
Algeria sent 100000 quintals GA
092 tons) Of flour to France. France
also will be deprived of 100000 tons
Of phosphates much needed for its
Impoverished soil. The wheat loss,
1t has been estimated, would be suf-
dcient to have fed France for As
days, while the wine loss is equal to
three months consumption.
Products From Morocco.
Morocco had announced it would
send France $4,000 quintals (about
1886 tons) of dried vegetables, and |
about $4,000 tons of seeds. while
from North Africa the country had |
expected to receive about 1,l00 tons
Of dried figs, $4,000 tons of prepared
fish and 77,000 tons of oranges and |
other citrus fruits.
From Tunisia, the French had ex-
pected $4,000 tons of olive oil and
from French West Africa, 100000
tons OF l-producing nuts which
would have gone long way to help
meet the deficiency in fats. Last
year French North Africa sent
France 100000 live sheep, 10000
frozen carcasses, about 165,345 tons |
OF eggs and two and a half times
that tonnage in dried vegetables.
When the occupation troops over
ran the former free zone in France,
they were told they would have to
pay in French money for supplies
and that they could purchase only |

The last of the four major Ken
lucky Derby tune-ups-the Derby

iously ailing Alsab and 10 lesser
hopefuls today for a test which
can produce "big horse" for the
68th renewal of Americas favorite
race or throw it open to anything
with four legs and heart.
The fans who congregated at
Churchill Downs for this mile gall
lop which marks Alsab's seventh
attempt to score his first 1912 tri-
umph were pretty certain the son
of Good Goods had the heart but
they were undecided whether he
had four legs or just three. One of
his legs has been cut, but how
badly nobody knew.
Alsab was cut while being shod
Some reports had him virtually out
of the Derby. Others held he was
merely pricked and the injury was
entirely superficial. Trainer Sarge
Swenke, holed out at some obscure
lodging house. was not available
for comment but these facts were
established:
/ The horse was cut but he was
not wrapped in a pack. He wore
only the usual four bandages all
good horses wear in their stall
while resting.

vigorously denied the injury
was at all significant and insisted
Alsab would take his place in the
