Washington, Aug. 31 - (UP) - Lieut.. Gov. John Lee Smith of Tex as thinks government officials who cut gas rations in the mid West are "power-mad megalomaniacs motiv- ated by political considerations, !" while petroleum Administrator liar old L. Ickes pictures Smith going about "draped in the outer-gar- ments of patriotism and the under wear of seh-interest."
 The name-calling occurred when Smith wrote to Price Administrator M. Brown and Ickes accusing them of catering to powerfully political states" in the east in slicing one gall lon from the four-gallon a card al- 1owance in the mid-East, including Texas.
 Ickes promptly accused Smith of either contempt for the truth or ignorance of the facts, and snap ped:
 "As you go vociferously forth, draped in the outer garments of patriotism and the underwear Of self-interest, please remember that our tanks and trucks and jeeps can- not burn as fuel the crocodile tears you shed"
 Smith claimed that the midwest cut was unnecessary and hence mo- tivated by political considerations.

Still Fighting
 Another Danish force at NaeStved, 45 ciles south of Copenhagen, still was fighting the Germans at late hour yesterday under orders from their commanders to fire until their last cartridge is gone, the refugee Danish press service said.
 Many Danish patriots were be- lieved to have been killed by Ger man warships and planes while try ing to escape across the Oresund to Sweden in everything from rowboats to minesweepers. The patrolling Nazi war craft were clearly visible from the Swedish shore.
 GA German radio broadcast said the Danish cabinet headed by Premier Eric Scavenius submitted its resignation to King Christian Sunday after appealing to the na- ton in a signed statement to keep order. Civil servants were asked to remain at their posts.)
 GA Berlin dispatch carried in the Zurich newspaper Die Tat quoted German officials as saying that the occupation of Denmark was due exclusively to military necessities, since the geographical position of Denmark now rneders essential special defense measures"
 Communications Severed
 All communications with the little Danish Monarchy-situated on one of the shortest invasion routes to Berlin-still were severed, except for 8 passenger-less ferry line, but reports Altering through to Sweden made it clear that the Danes were not submitting to Nazi dictatorship without a final strug- gle.
 Despite NaI warning that in- citers of strikes would be executed, general strikes were reported to have broken out in Skagen, Hjoern- ing, Saeby, Aalborg, Viborg. Aarhus, Grenaa, Frederick and Svendborg.
 The German panZer division shifted from Norway was reported to have taken up quarters on Sjael- land, the island on which copen- hagen is situated.
 King Christian x and the entire royal family were transferred from Sorgenfri castle to Amalienborg castle as prisoners, press reports said. While cabinet members, with few exceptions, were arrested out right or detained under house ar- rest.

now equivalent to one and one-half gallons a week - could be raised about two gallons a week. Ickes consistently pessimistic statements about east coast oil supplies, how ever, appear to preclude any possi- bility of Brown fulfilling that hope in the near future.
 Effective at the same time the pleasure ban is lifted will be the abandonment of restrictions on non- essential motor boating and the restoration of the plan under which service men on leave or furloug1 can get five gallons of gasoline. AL so abandoned will be the require ment for ration board permits for vacation travel.
 Enforcement Difficult
 The Brown-Ickes joint statement conceded that the pleasure driving ban caused much protest and that enforcement has been difficult. Motorists objected strenuously to being stopped on highways to de- termine whether they were driving for pleasure.
 Tt has therefore been deter mined," the statement said, Ito rely on patriotism of the car owners and to discontinue stopping cars on the highway to determine the pur- pose for which they are being used.
 ''The holders of ration coupons will be expected to use no more gasoline than is absolutely neces- sary to meet their essential needs.
 Tt will be left however to the car owner to determine in his own mind and conscience what is essen- tial driving"
 Pleasure driving restrictions were first imposed on motorists on the entire eastern seaboard last Jan- uary 2 and remained until March when Brown invoked his ''honor system" When that failed Brown on May 20 ordered the ban re- stored-this time in only the 12 northeastern states, the District of Columbia and eight counties in West Virginia-and, at the same time, slashed rations.

and textile factories and railway in- stallations at Munchen Gladbach and Rheydt in the first raid on those Rhineland cities in more than two years.
 The attack represented continu- ation of the RAF tactics of striking at widely-separated targets in order to prevent the Germans from con- centrating their defenses in the Berlin area, which still is the No. 1 target.
 Two Night Lull
 Ending a two night weather-en- forced lull in the air offensive against Germany, the four -engined Stirlings, Halifaxes and Lancasters subjected the two cities to their heaviest bombardment of the war.
 A German broadcast acknowledged that the raid caused considerable damage" and a number of casual ties.
 It was the first large-scale attack on Western Germany since Aug. g and the seventh of the war on Munchen- Gladbach, one of the prin- cipal railroad links between Ger many and its western defenses and through which flows a constant stream of heavy war material. Mun- chen Gladbach lies 25 miles west of Dusseldorf and less than 20 miles from the Belgian border.
 The night offensive followed an attack by American Marauders and British Mitchells and Venturas on Targets near St. Omer in Northern France and raids by British fighters on French railway targets and air fields late yesterday. One Mitchell and one fighter were lost.
 Fighter-bombers also attacked air. fields and other targets in France, Belgium and Holland during the night.

 MT. Roosevelt, of course, may ig- nore the intra-departmental row which led to Welles' resignation. He likewise may ignore the Hull-Pear- son feud.
 But some observers believed that he might consider it necessary for the future satisfa' ory operations of the department--to join in the fray which has been getting hotter each day. Since Hull--who ordinarily does not notice attacks on himself has considered it necessary to de- fend himself publicly against anti Russian charges, 1t was considered likely that MT. Roosevelt might con- sider it time to reassert confidence in his Secretary of State.

tains suggested that this aim might have been achieved. Landing Frustrated"
 NaN military quarters were quoted by DNB as saying that the landing from warships was 'com- pletely frustrated and predicting that the remainder of the amphibi- ous force would be dealt with in a short time.
 A broadcast dispatch of the Ger man news agency described the landing as small" maneuver, but added that 1t appeared to have been designed as the prelude to establish. ing a major bridgehead.
 The landing was made on the ex. tremity of the Italian mainland southeast of Reggie Calabria. the DNB report said.
 The maneuver was "immediately discovered" the agency reported and prompt counter-measures by German and Italian quarters re- suited in the immediate annihilation of the landing force."
 The claim to wiping out the land ing party was contradicted by the Nazis themselves with the admission that party estimated at "only 30'' went into the interior. Much Equipment
 The Britons carried considerable communications equipment, which they tried to set up as soon as they landed, DNB reported, leading to the assumption that the expedition was only the prelude to major opera ton.
 'This landing maneuver was con- pletely frustrated by counter meas ures which were immediately car- ried," DNB said, quoting military sources.
 DNB said the landing was made Sunday.
 The DNB dispatch, broadcast from Berlin, said only 30 men escaped into the interior and appeared to have fled into the mountains, where they do not represent any danger"
 The roundup of the Hast few" of the Britons was considered in Ger man military quarters to be a mat ter of short time, the agency said.
 Nazi military spokesmen were quoted as expressing the opinion that the small" landing maneuver probably was intended to serve as preparation for 8 major bridgehead.
 The fact that the British had with them considerable communications equipment, which they attempted to set up immediately after landing, seemed to bear out that assumption the Berlin report added.

 Only a meager description of the gunmen was obtained from the frightened girls but police broadcast 8 statewide alarm for their arrest.
 According to police the robbery was well-planned and SO quickly ex- ecuted that many of the girls in the building were unaware of the crime until police arrived.
 The pair entered the building by smashing a screen on 8 basement window. They climbed the stairs that led through parlors and recrea- ton rooms on the first floor and made systematic tour of the rooms.
 The first few girls were too fright ened to call for aid as the pair thrust pistols and flashlights in their faces and warned them to "be quiet or else ." None of the girls was molested and finally the first ones wakened recovered suf- ficiently to scream for help.
 Only cash in pocketbooks in the rooms was taken although several of the girls had jewelry and other valuables.
 Later the college announced that an armed guard would be hired to patrol the campus and buildings with the watchman. In addition, the college released the names of some other girls who were robbed.
 These were Miss Matilda Walsh of Durham, N. H., Miss Phoebe Rous of 122 East 82nd St. New York City, Miss Evelyn Grantham of (2115 Lincoln St. Evanston, III.
