CHICAGO, Sept. 2l.-Regional
Offices of the ONCE Of Defense
Transportation have been authorized
by Director Joseph B. Eastman to
requisition idle used trucks If such
steps are considered necessary for
the transportation of vital agricul-
tural products, Harry L. Gormley,
regional director of the ODT's motor

In describing the program. Mr..
Gormley said, Mr.. Eastman stated
he believed that Government requisi-
tioning would be necessary 'only in
extreme cases-including those where
trucks were critically needed in the
food production program and the
owners of idle used trucks in the
locality were unwilling to use their
vehicles in this service, or to lease
or sell them to others who would"
In such cases, Mr.. Eastman said,
either the local district Office of the
ODT's division of motor transport
or the local Agriculture Department
county war boards could initiate
requisition proceedings.
Upon requisitoning, the owner
would be paid a ''fair price Mr..

Mr.. Gormley said shortage of
trucks was expected in the Red River

Eastern Defense Command excluding
Macmillan Franz Joseph Ebel, So
year-old naturalized citizen of Ger

Atlantic Coast defense area.

working company in neighboring
Cambridge makes parts for the Gov

the East Coast on an order issued
by 1t. Gen. Hugh A. Drum on

the order was a violation of his

tary of War Stimson and Undersec-

of court for Army occupancy of the
building on September 8.
The judge had refused to sign an
order granting the Army occupancy
when a condemnation hearing was
held. Inasmuch as no denial of the
building was issued, the judge ruled
the War Department could not be
held dn contempt.
Mr.. Littell in his arguments point
ed out that under the Second War
Powers Act the Army could have
taken the building without court
procedure, as it eventually did. He
cited the comments of Chief Justice
Stone that II need not place limi-
.tation on theffact," and OF former
Chief Justice Hughes that the
power to make war includes the
power to make war successfully"
Judge Bowen disagreed, asserting
in his decision athe .civH powers of
governments. even III tinesof war, are
superior to the war powers.
