Deputy Administrator Ralph K
Davies said railroad deliveries to the
East last week dropped 22,793 bar
rels to an average of 994 1856 barrels
q day, but added that total overland
shipments by rail, pipeline and
barge had been boosted 48.8 per cent
in the last IL months to 1,445 ,0OC
barrels daily, close to the pre-war
total supplied largely by sea-goins
tankers.
Mr.. Davies said there was grad
ual but steady progress" toward a
position which would "in the next 30
to go days make possible an equal
ization Of supply as between the
East, and the Middle West and
Southwest" and bring about uni
form gasoline restrictions.

Il wanted to get into the war with
the country of my BIRTH" Tex said
regarding his transfer to the United
States Army Air Forces, which be-
came effective last November.
Not many OF the boys who flew
over Dunkirk are left. "See that pic
ture," Tex said as he pointed to a
fighter group standing before Spit
fire. There am, and that fellow
there-he's out now-but we're all
that remain OF that crowd.
Many Didn't Return.
That was the hell of blooming
in to the table and noticing the
vacant places. While you were up
you didn't have much time to think
about that, but you'd come in and
see the plates and the cups turned
upside down, and you wouldn't say
anything. You just sat there and
tried to act as if nothing had hap
pened. But everybody's eyes were
always rowing up and down the
table.
Tex Bryan rose from a sergeant
pilot to acting wing commander
tsame as our lieutenant coloneD in
the Raj. He's now rated a first
lieutenant in the United States
Army Air Force.
I'm not kidding myself he said
when I start the motors on a P-3s
or an APO, and I sit straight up
like scared rabbit I know I'm
on the downgrade. I get up there
and I feel my feet getting cold and
my hands sweating and my clothes
start sticking with perspiration-its
a sure sign"
AS he talked he grew tense and
patches of perspiration spread on
his khaki shirt. You understood
what the doctors meant when thew
said he had to rest and relax. but
understood, too, why every one in
the room was silent when Tex said
he was through.
