 Ban On Rest or Summer

 Davies report removed any hope that might have existed that the current crisis was temporary and lent emphasis to reports that the pleasure driving ban in the east was on for at least the summer and maybe for the duration.
 He said that the break in the big pipeline in the midwest flood area was big factor in the current crisis, but that 1t only hastened "a crisis which was bound to occur anyhow" because of civilian con- sumption at a rate greater than that certified by his office.

SEVERN Winterschiedt of New

was recalled to the stand and said
he couldn't understand how any
unit leader could hold his position if
he didn't understand the policies of
the bund and know that it whole

National Socialism idea"
WinterScheidt said he quit the
bund in 1888 because he was de

his favorite theme was blood is

Americans that under the Nazi code
they were still Germans, no mat

A search was under way today for
plows and tractors to turn the land
for Washington's l943 Victory

but there are many here owned by
institutions, a few private estates,
construction firms and the National
Capital Park and Planning Com

Inventory is being made of this

it, just as planting and harvesting

borrowing of this equipment. She
found complete willingness to CO.

LONDON, Jan. 29.-Robert Ley,

that "it is obvious that debates are
