OIL PROBLEM
MAY Be WORSE
Ickes Gloomy on Pros.
poets for Next
Winter

Boston, March l5-(UPJ --Petro.
leum Administrator Harold l.. Ickes
has warned that the east coast oil
problem may be worse next winter
than this winter.
At a press conference yesterday,
Ickes said this winter left the east
with the lowest amount OF oil 1t
ever had--7,899,000 barrels less on
March s than n year ago.
He took issue with statements Of
Prentiss M. Brown, OPA head, and
Chairman j. c. Richdale of the New
England Councils liquid fuel COM
mittee.
He said Brown failed to submit
to him. inadvance, q statement IN
which the OPA head said relaXa-
ton of restrictions of gasoline for
pleasure driving could be anticipated
and added he had protested.
1ckes termed as unfortunate
the statement in which Richdale
predicted more gasoline and 30 per
cent OF normal fuel oil for next
winter.
Despite pipe lines, present and
projected" Ickes said, I'VE certain
ly have no reason TO feel snug
about our ability TO rebuild those
stocks to safe levels. In fact, IN face
OF even those military demands
which we know we shall have to
meet, 1t should be perfectly OBJ
vious that there can be no assur-
ance OF adequate fuel oil inven-
tories with which to start the next
heating season."
Ickes last night told 1900 persons
attending the dedication of the
Massachusetts colony in Palestine
that the United Nations should
remind the Nails that they will be
held accountable for the wholesale
slaughter of Jews.
He said the Nazis should be told
that the Biblical law of IAN eye for
an eye and IL tooth for tooth will
be invoked against them.

"Hitler still bears the RESPONSE
bility Of guidance Of the inner and

Stockholm commentators believed
that Goebbels deliberately avoided
making specific statement that
Hitler still was supreme commander
Of Germany's armed forces.
The press conference was called
by Goebbels following the circula-
ton OF rumors that Hitler was Ill,
even insane. Both London and
Washington had taken official cog
lizance OF the rumors, though en-
phaSiSing that there was nothing
specific TO support them.
Goebbels told the correspondents
that the German people are taking
n much more realistic" attitude to-
ward the British air raids Oh their
cities.
Regarding his familiar theme Of
the Communist menace to Europe
Goebbels said:
IF the Russian steam roller APP

the Polish border or Warsaw, the
Germans no longer would have to
look for friends because everybody
then would understand what Is at
stake"
(The German radio quoted Goeb-
bells as saying at press conference,
presumably the same one referred
to in the Stockholm dispatch, that
Germany soon will be able TO deal
Britain such blow that the British

Following policies recently out
lined for immediate procedure by

scores OF young married men, many
with children, II was learned today.
Manpower reservoirs hitherto UNI
tapped are being called upon TO fur
r1ish men for service as March and
April quotas threaten TO exhaust
the entire available number In the
l8-l9-20 year old groups.
Within a week, according TO re-
liable report, notices will be sent
out calling for scores OF hitherto de-
ferred registrants to report 10 local
physicians for screen" tests, prior
to Reconsideration In the IA group
with the prospect Of being mustered
into service In May or June.
Also To be classified IA, 1t Is
learned, are single men who up 10
now have been deferred because OF
dependents. This group, II Is eX-
pected, will furnish a considerable
number OF the required quota.
Marriages which have taken place
after May 81. 194l will no longer
be recognized as cause for deferment
even In cases where there are chill
dren, thus resembling the present
policy under which boards may de-
fer for dependency men married be-
fore the entrance Of the country into
