F. B. /. BRANCH
NOW IN DOVER
Opened at Is LOOckerman
Street to Serve Kent and
Sussex Counties
PROMPT REPORT ASKED

A branch Office of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation has been
opened at 15 Loockerman Street,
Dover, it was announced Monday
by E. A. Soucy, special agent in
charge of the Baltimore FBI office.
This is the third resident agency to
be opened by the Baltimore office
on the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula. Resi-
dent agencies have been previously
established at Wilmington and Sal
isbury. The opening of the office
at Dover has been necessary be-
cause of the increase in the volume
of reports being received and call
ing for investigation in this area,
and will asbsist the FBI in receiv-
ing prompt reports of espionage,
sabotage, and material realting to
internal security, Mr.. Soucy said.
Encourage Prompt Reports
The FBI has encouraged the
prompt reporting of such suspicious
by the general public since the is
suance of the presidential directive
dated Jan. 6, 1889, at which time
the FBI was designated as the CO.
ordinating agency to handle reports
of this nature. On Jan. 8, the
President issued a second directive,
in which he reemphasized the need
for wholehearted cooperation on the
part of law enforcement officials
and law abiding citizens in this pro-
gram. In order to handle the
thousands of reports that are re-
ceived each day throughout the
country, it has been necessary for
the Federal Bureau of Investigation
to open numerous branch offices
strategically located within the
various areas covered by the bu-
reau field divisions.
Direct Information
In line with this program, the Of
flee at Dover is being opened to re-
ceive reports from residents of
Kent and Sussex Counties in Della
ware, and Worcester County, Md.
Mr.Soucy, in making the announce
ment of the opening of this office,
requested that all information rela-
tive to espionage, sabotage, and
Isubversive activities, be immediate
Ily transmitted directely by letter
Ior telephone to the Dover office at
is Loockerman Street, telephone
Dover 5525. Residents of New
Castle County should continue to
report directly to the FBI branch
office at the Wilmington postoffice,
telephone 4-7676.

NEW RULING MADE
ON GAS RATIONS

Provisions have been made
for allowing holders of B, c, E
and R gasoline coupons to use
their tickets beyond the fiXeo
period for which they we're or
iginally issued, and until renew
ais are obtained, it was an
nounced this week by the loca
ration office.
This means that books can
not be renewed before the date
of expiration, but may be usec
afterwards until they have al
been spent.
The amendment also provides
for issuing all B ration books
for a fixed period, rather thar
on a time tailored" basis. AL
B books will be issued for three
months. Individual rations will
be set by the board tearing out
coupons to fit the mileage
applied for.
It was also stated that the
new tire inspection records
have no space for speedometer
readings, but when tires are
examined, readings must be
written on the record.
