day later being reelected as Speaker Mr..
Rayburn said publicly:
1T shall be my unwavering determination to protect
and defend the rights the prerogatves and the power of

Even emphatic and more complete in its
formulation of public policy the formal statement
issued by Representative Martin of Massachusetts, the
Republican leader.
Mr.. Martin said

people in their government and TO restore the perogayes

The meeting this year is engineering produc-

The engineers looking not past accomplish

1t has been instrumental in finding shortcuts to speed
production; in developing materials to take the place
of those in which we find ourselves short; in devsing

contracts.
In short the sac may be said to be of Americas

Red Arrow Speeds Again

A GREAT many persons in Detroit and in Michigan go
n about their tasks little more brskly this week
because of General MacArthurs citation for the Red
Arrow Division

and elements this command operating under difficulties
rarely if ever surpassed in campaign has earned my
highest praise -
Many people in Detroit and Michigan will nod proudly
st that They know their Red Arrow Division They
member its other record of magnificent conduct under
difficulties.
Their resourcefuness and their adaptabily despite
inadequate means in many categories have produced
self reliance that has overcome all handicaps :"
MANY aging men will throw back their shoulders and
wi feel warm tingle hearts they thought had out
lived such emotions.
Through their skill and courage and indomitabe
will for victory they have defeated bold and aggres-
sve enemy possessed of marked superiority in re-

Letters

TO THE EDITOR:
I AGREE with the Times edi-
Il torial referring to Mr.. Wal
lace's speech.
If the Communist Russians
and democratic Americans are
allied in fighting together today,
il is because events forced them
to do so, but both parties must
remember and recognize that
the Communist Russians are
fighting TO preserve and main
tain their Marxism and Lenin-
ism, while the Americans are
fighting to preserve their Wash
ingtonism and Jeffersonism.
If Mr.. Wallace and other
American statesmen want a real
and permanent world peace.
then in cooperation with the
other United Nations statesmen,
they should plan and blueprint
such a peace. Then when victory
comes, this peace must be die
tated and imposed on our enc
mics.
Our United States democracy
can be a model for the world
democracy, but this can be dis
cuSSed only after we defeat our
enemies and impose the peace
terms on them.
The peace can be planned,
blueprinted, dictated and i'm
posed. but democracy can be
planned and blueprinted but
can't be dictated and imposed.
First it must be counseled and

Oil Ra+ioning

Floor Measurement Hit,
Urge Heat Area Idea
BY PAUL MALL0N

WASHINGTON. Jan 13.-If
the Henderson successor,
PrentiSS Brown, seriously under
takes TO find a solution of the
fuel oil rationing mess, he Will
come upon two basic things
wrong at the core of the
problem.
These are indicated by reader
correspondence l have received
from consumers and rationing
board officials with a single
exception in various eastern
and central sections of the coun-
try, and are confirmed by my
personal experience and obser-
walton.
First: Not enough coupons
were allowed a great many
people.
Second: Dealers are getting
insufficient oil 10 meet exist
ing coupon requirements con-
tinuouSly.
The first fault could be COR
rected, If Mr.. Brown orders the
rationing boards to give whole
hearted reconsideration 10 the
needs OF those who did not get
enough.
The federal formula er-
roneously based allotments on
square footage of floor space
instead of cubic footage of heat
ing space. The government can
and should correct this primary
mistake.
THEN, after every home owner
Il has enough coupons, there
must be reapportionment of
available supplies TO enable him
10 get oil continuously.
How the problem happened TO
get into its present confused
condition is net entirely clear.
Government calculatorS must
have made a colossal mistake,
or a number of them. TO mis-
gauge so far the necessities and
supplies.
But we are in the mess now,
and the only solution possible is
TO accept the condition confront
ing us and make the best 10
fit 1T.
Homes and business offices
should come first Their heat
ing must be maintained. If it
is necessary TO meet their re-
quirementS, Mr.. Brown will have

sential large fuel consumers
recreation centers. night clubs,
theaters, public schools and even
churches, locally or nationally,
as required.
These institutions need to be
kept open in war time more
than any other.
In every war up to this one,
all military men considered that
the maintenance of national
morale required the normal
emotional outlets for the popu-
lation in entertainment, educa-
tion and religion.
That nation which least dis
commoded the lives of its people
was considered TO be winning
the war. 1t kept confidence
alive behind the front.

poSite view has been stressed at

fortunately, has been borrowed,
along with centralized govern

(FaScist-C -CommunisD idea.
This is total war, they say,
and they think il requires total
suffering, whereas all it really
required was total preparation
of oil supplies, for instance.
The liberals in this country
very shortsigbtedly borrowed
too much from Hitler, because
he was efficient in certain re-
SpectS. He was efficient for
Germany, a bankrupt nation
(which had no oil, incidentally
and, having nothing, he created
