Danish ENJOY In Sweden
SeUers Ties With Home

STOCKHOLM, Sept. /. -P)-
The Danish minister to Sweden,
Jonah c. W. Kruse. severed diplo-
matte ties with his homeland to-
night, declaring that a constitu-
tional government had ceased to
exist there with the advent Of a
German military dictatorship.
Kruse's announcement was con-
sidered significant by Danes hop
ing to form an exiled government
affiliated with the United Nations
because the 62-year-old minister
is a personal envoy of the intern
ed King Christian x.
The Kruse announcement said
that the king, as a prisoner of the
Germans, was unable to perform
his constitutional functions.
Asked by the Danish free press
in Stockholm whether the move
meant the minister was joining
the free Danish movement, the
minister said: II can add nothing
to this at the moment"
The major political development
came as the revolving Danes in
spired in their resistance by en-
couraging words from King Chris
tan during a brief trip from his
castle under German guard, con-
tinued passive resistance and, ap-
parently, sabotage.

TwoLocal Firms Issued
By OPA

SUSPENSION orders against two
gasoline service station operators
in Wilmington, effective Wednes-
day. have been issued by the Ra-
leigh district Office of Price Ad-
ministration.
The orders were ISSUED by Judge
Daniel L. Bell, chief hearing COM
missioner of the Fourth Region,
and grew out of charges that the
dealers had violated the gasoline
rationing regulations, according to
District OPA Director Theodore
S. johnson.
The suspensions followed inves-
LEGATIONS conducted by the Ra-
leigh district office, which has
been seeking to stamp out illegal
operations at service stations in
its jurisdiction.
The orders were issued against
Kelly G. Lloyd, doing business as
Lloyd's Service station, 104 Wal
HUI Sl1eGt, dllu w l1lldll 1lllOoSS.
doing business as Rhodes Service
station, 20 South Seventeenth

To Aid Coal Deliveries

said. Local committees will be
chosen in all communities over 25,-
600 population where coal is a ma
jor fuel, and in smaller commu-
mites where needed.
Local committees will prepare
a census of coal delivery equip
ment and manpower, the capaci-
ty of operating yards, orders on
hand and inventories and the nor
NAL delivery of each dealer. This
information will be the basis for
each local delivery pool program,
Eastman said.
Other suggested methods for in
creasing delivery efficiency with
present equipment include: Cd Di-
viding responsibility for delivery
to sparsely settled outlying areas;
(2) exchanging use of motor
trucks to eliminate empty mil
cage; 60 pooling Of labor supply
to assure undelayed operation and
full use of naApoWer; ca ex-
change of orders to permit deliV-
cry from the yard nearest the
customer.
Eastman urged solid fuel deliv-
erers to seek locally needed"
classification by the War Man
power Commission. Employees OF
firms so classified must obtain
certificates of availability before
transferring to other jobs. Draft
boards may also consider the sta
tus of the industry in relation to
the war effort in passing on de-
ferment of employees.
