u. 5. Newsprint Quota
Assured by Canada
WPB Still Can't Tell
Amount for Quarter

By the Associated Press.
Chairman Donald M. Nelson OF
the War Production Board an
nounced yesterday assurances from
Canada that "it will supply its quota
of newsprint for United States use
for the third quarter of 1943."
WPB officials advised reporters
however, that there was no way of
Interpreting from this assurance
what amounts of newsprint Ameri-
can publishers will be permitted to
use in the third quarter Consump-
ton quotas, they said, depend on a
number of other factors.
Mr.. Nelson said he received the
assurance from Donald Gordon
chairman of the Canadian Wartime
Prices and Trade Board. 1t was
based. the statement said, on the
qualification that the quota deliv-
cry was subject to uncertainties
arising from wartime conditions plus
the definite premise that American
publishers reduce their use of news
print to 80 per cent of the usage In
the comparable period of 1941, which
is the intent or limitation order
L-240 issued by the WPB December
81, 1912"
The statement noted that during
the first quarter of this year Amer
lean newspapers cut newsprint con-
sumption about per cent under the
first quarter of 1941, and in the
month of March newsprint con-
sumption was 8.3 per cent less thar
in the corresponding month of 194l

Services Expect 10 Release
No Gas During Summer
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Navy said yesterday that ut
is believed" that little or no gasoline
will be released by the armed forces
during the summer motoring sea-
son for civilian use.
The statement was made in a
press release reporting that total
OF 4,213,156 barrels of fuel oil and
gasoline were released to civilian
and industrial consumers during the
critical oil shortage in the Eastern
States last winter.
The fuel was supplied out of a
petroleum pool formed by the Army
and Navy and the Allies.
THE released oil did not represent
surplus stock" the Navy said, but
fuel that could be spared temporar-
lily from the pool to ease the serious
civilian shortages existing at that
time. Present indications are that
no more heating oil and gasoline
will be released for civilian or in
dustrial use in the near future"

Health OfIicer George c. Ruhland
yesterday laid at the door of each
resident OF the District a part o.
the job Of keeping the city in
sanitary condition.
In an appeal to the public to OBJ
serve Cleanup Week, which begins
today. by work on their own prem
ises, DR.. Ruhland said there is
tendency for a certain type" of
citizen to hold the Government re-
sponsible for many jobs he should
do for himself.
TT is impossible for the Health
Department to furnish a sanitary
inspector for every unsanitary con-
dition,' he said. Labor shortage
also has reduced the Districts serv-
ice personnel. In this circumstance,
1t Is every citizens patriotic duty
to do his share and honest best to
lessen the burden of government"
If every householder would be
his own sanitary inspector, we would
have cleaner city and there would
be less complaining about what the
Government ought to do"

Lynching Trial Of 5 Will Test
New Course of Law Tomorrow
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
HATTIESBURG, Miss, April II.
What Federal attorneys have de-
scribed as a new course in law"
will go on trial here Monday along
with five men under the first Fed
eral indictment in 40 years in con-
netion with the lynching of a COL
ored man.
The five Laurel (Miss.) men, in
cluding a deputy sheriff -jailer, are
charged with conspiracy to deprive
Howard Wash, lynched colored man.
Of his constitutional rights" under
Federal civil liberties statutes.
The new course" presumably
concerns the status and application
of the civil liberties statutes, par
ticularly in light of Congressional
refusal to adopt a Federal anti
lynching law. The prosecution ad-
mittedly hopes to bring the case
before the United States Supreme
Court
Federal Judge Sidney Mize, in
arraignment proceedings last Mon
day, overruled a prosecution request
that he rule on the validity of the
indictment.
