stop to consider that we wouldn't have this
command of the air if we didn't have the
aviation fuel to do it with?
During the year and a half we have been
at war miracles have been wrought. The oil
industry has not had the new materials with
which to do the job. The materials have not
been available because they have been going
into the building of ships and planes and
tanks And so the oil industry, in cooperation
with the government has had to use, in
Evening star., 1943-07-25

Don't get excited! Don't complaint And
don't bet that it isn't going to get worse!
But here is one bet that you can make,
and then you can bet that you will win the
bet. It's this - the Army and the Navy are
going to get theirs whether the rest of US do
or not.
Hitler won't like to hear this because it is
the Army and the Navy that he is afraid Of
And that's the reason that you and l are
going to have to tighten our belts and get
along with less, if necessary.
Many Americans may not like it either;
they seem to feel that the worst of the oil
shortage has passed. They need to be rudely
awakened. Right now, in the middle of our
second summer of war, every drop of the
precious stuff is needed for victory. During
the months ahead, civilian consumers
may be required to express their patriot
ism by getting along with even less gaso-
line and fuel oil than last year.
The only job that counts today is to lick
the Axis. Hitler asked for it, and the world

had to dig up hundreds of miles of old pipe
and relay it into system that would con-
tribute most to the winning of the war. 1t

customers in order to facilitate the overall
operations. 1t has forgotten that there ever
was such thing as business rivalry until we
get through the job at hand - the job of
licking Hitler and his stooges 50 that all of
this can never happen again.
The Main Problem
WHILE the average consumer is thinking
in terms of enough gasoline to fill his own
automobile tank, or enough fuel oil to keep
himself and his family comfortably warm,
hundreds of millions of barrels of lubricants,
aviation fuel, toluene heating oil and plain
ordinary gasoline are moving in all directions
- every drop of it bound for the place where
it is most needed. And even communities
not affected by transportation difficult
ties are cooperating through ''brown-
OUTS (semi-dimouts) and other meas
ures, in conserving fuel for the nation
as q whole.
Some people, guess, still think their per-
sonal problems are important, and that the
country would be better off if I'd quit.
Without meaning to be contentious or
bureaucratic or arbitrary or officious - I'm
accused of being all of these - l desire to
repeat right here that the Army and the Navy
are going to get all of the gasoline and lubrl-

insist that l ought to resign, criticize the
system, damn the luck generally - say any,

few days ago neighbor of mine came to
me with his personal oil problem. He looked
hopefully to me for comfort. Last winter, he
said he kept his house at 60 degrees, and
thought that he was doing something. He has
been managing on a minimum amount OF
gasoline in his car, and probably feeling sorry
for himself while doing it. He wanted to
know if the situation wasn't going to be bet

denying the military thing
Stout fellow! Of course he hasn't any idea
what it's all about, and yet it may be
source of comfort to him to imagine how
much better things could be if only he were
in charge.
The problem itself is simply stated 1t is
one of transportation. We have to get so much

WHITEHORSE, Y. T., Oct. &c.
An association begun 20 years ago
in the United States War Depart
ment at Washington, d. c., has
been climaxed today in the wilds
of the Yukon Territory. when the
Army's Legion of Merit was pinned
on Master Sergeant Richard F.
Doolan by Col. Kenneth B. Bush.
In 1923 Doolan, then II years old,
went to work as a clerk for Bush,
then a captain in the Adjutant Cen
erals Office at Washington Bush
at that time was helping to ad-
minister the soldiers bonus.
Last September Bush, now a COL
onel, was named chief of staff of
the Northwest Service Command on
the 1,630-mile international high
way to Alaska.
Doolan resigned his civilian po-
sition in the War Department and
came with Bush to the Yukon as
"a private. Whitehorse during the
winter of 1928 was the coolest
post under the American Flag.
AT temperatures reaching So de-
grees below zero, in temporary CCC
buildings, Doolan had charge of or
ganizing the complete files and
records section of the entire Com
mand. He did his job so well, under
such difficult circumstances, that a
few weeks ago the War Department
awarded him the Legion of Merit.
On the parade grounds here Col.
Bush pinned the decoration on
Master Sergeant Doolan, who two
decades ago was his clerk in Wash
ington. Bush is commanding the
Alaska Highway and Service Com
mand in the absence of Brig. Gen.
James A. O'Connor, who is in the
United States for several weeks.
