TOLEDO, Ohio. June 23-Re-
gional OPA officials rejected yester-
day the appeal of Herbert C. Lanks
author and lecturer, from a ration
board suspenion of his c gasoline
book, which stranded a Philadel-
ia-to-Alaska jeep expedition here
as effectively as an anti-tank bar
ricade.
Mr.. Lanks said he and his pho
tographer, Harold Utzy, also of Phil
adelphiafl set out to photograph the
new Alaska military highway and
that a Philadelphia ration BOARD
granted his C ration coupons be-
cause the junket was in the public
interest.
OPA yesterday, however cancelled
the rations and asked district Offices
along Mr.. Lanks' route to notify him.
Toledo rationing boards stopped the
author, whose subsequent appeal to
the regional Office in Cleveland was
unavailing.

archy with Prince Juan as king is
being urged on Generalissimo Fran
cisco Franco by prominent Spanish
monarchists who apparently have
British Endorsement, it was asserted
here today.
Spanish sources said Juan Ven
tosa. confidant of the late King
Alfonso and a leader in the restora-
ton movement, visited London
three weeks ago and talked with
Prime Minister Churchill and other
British government leaders.
The plea was said to have been
presented to Franco in a letter
signed by more than 80 prominent
Spaniards, including Ventosa and
the Duke of Alba, Spanish Ambas-
Sador to London.
Praised for Leadership. ~
The letter praised Franco for his
leadership, but urged that every
thing possible be done to bring po-
litical unity, the reports said This
presumably involved a truce with
former Republicans. many Of whom
are still interned.
Prince Juan. the third son of
Alfonso left Spain in 1881 after the
republic was proclaimed He is re-
ported to have told his supporters
that he is ready to return to Spain
at any time all elements publicly
demonstrate their wish for a king.
This Swiss reports of the move
ment for restoration OF the mon-
archy caused little surprise in
diplomatic circles in London, dis
patches from the British capital
said Official sources there had
no comment. but there have been
rumors for several months that
considerable pressure was being
brought for restoration and these
have gained momentum as the
tide of war swung more and more
in favor of the United NationsJ
Juan Awaits Reaction.
Juan continued to work quietly at
his desk in a villa beside Lake
Geneva today and there was no in
dication he would make a new decla-
ration pending some reaction from
Franco to the petition by the mon

Dawes Bank Is Sued

RFC Loan in 1882 ''7
&C.,. Z
Plot to Defruud U. S.
Of IS Million Charged :
To General, 8 Others
BY the Ass ,ciated Press.

CHICAGO, June ga civil suit
for damages, filed yesterday in Fed
eral District Court by a private cit
iZen, alleged that Gen. Charles G.
Dawes, president of the City Ma
tional Bank & Trust Co. of Chicago.
and eight other officers conspired to
defraud the Government of $751;
$751; ,464.
Filed by counsel for Raymond j.
Nitkey, the suit alleged the Defend
ants conspired in June, 1882, to OBJ
tain a sos 200, 900 loan from the Re-
construction Finance Corp, of which
Gen. Dawes was then PRESIDENT as
we'll as chairman of the board of the
defunct Central Republic Bank g.
Trust Co. of Chicago.
The complaint said the defendants,
knowing the Central Republic Bank
was insolvent to the amount of from
$1,000, 900 to s21 900, 900, filed a false
statement with the RFC, claiming
the bank was solvent"
The suit alleged that the money
was turned over to the new City Ma
tional Bank & Trust Co. on October
6, 1882, and the new bank, instead
of assuming liabilities of the old
bank, including the s95 900 900 loan,
assumed only the time and demand
deposit liabilities.
The complaint alleged that COL
lateral was insufficient, and that
the defendants still owe the Gov
eminent s35 ,331 ,464 on the original
loan.
The suit asked recovery of s7O,-
1928, or double the amount OF
the alleged debt. -.
An official of the City National
Bank & Trust Co. denied all ale
cations in the suit.
He said the loan was 5000 600
less than set forth in the suit,
contended that no part of the
money was transferred to the new
bank and asserted that the City
National assumed not only the. de-
posit liabilities of the Central COM
pany but also its satisfactory re-
sources in the form of securities and
obligations of borrowers"

Fighter Pilot Pictures
Strange Sensations
In Fall Of 5 Miles
Tongue 'RottIes Around
At High Attitudes;
Body Made Limp
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Star Staff correspondent


UNITED STATES AIR BASE.
NORTH AFRICA, June 23.-A para
chute Jump from five miles in the
sky brings strange physical and
mental sensations-take it from one
of the few American fighter pilots
who have dropped from such a
height and lived to tell about it.
Getting out was no problem, he
says. There was no time for debate
The situation was desperate. He
opened the hatch and was "shot out
like bullet But after that, he
says, there was no sensation of
falling. He was in vast Spaceless-
ness with no up or down. There
was pleasant, almost musical hum
ming in his ears. The only incident
was when the parachute opened with
a jerk. 1t was almost a knockout
blow.
Then, he says, Il began to get
giddy and sick. must have passed
out and came to in cloud. Still
there was no sensation of falling.
I seemed to be floating with the
cloud. l thought perhaps I was in
heaven.
But then I was in the zone of
50-mile-an-hour wind and the para
chute began oscillating horribly.
Sometimes 1 think I was turning
somersaults. Then hit the ground
hard on my back and was knocked
cold. 1t had taken about Is min
utes to float down. In spite of the
intense cold at great heights there
had not been a minute when l did
not feel warm as toast"
One of the strange sensations al
most invariably experienced in q
fight at high attitudes, the fighter
pilots say, is the extreme dryness
OF the mouth. 1T seems as if the
tongue actually is rattling around"
as one man expressed it. And when
it is all over the pilot is limp as a
rag, not only physically but men,
tally.
No amount of experience over
comes this, they say, and they
believe that it is only partly emo
tional and primarily due to the
rapid changes in altitude. Even
after routine mission in which no
opposition is encountered, the pilots
usually go TO bed as soon as they
return to base because of pure phys
ical WEAKNESS. The mission may
have been short one.
The body, they say, remains warm
all the time, the temperature prob
ably being maintained by the emo
tional stress. Not until landing do
they notice the extreme coldness of
hands and feet and they sometimes
yell with pain as the blood flows
into these extremities.
I'm the air" said one, "it is like
running over snow, even when you
are sitting still"

Ketchup Converts to War

Rationing has taught us to re-
evaluate our foods. One-time essenti-
ais become luxuries. Many extras
now play stellar roles.
New standards of judgment are:
What can be done with certain foods
how far can we make them 60
how versatile are they.
Viewed in this new light, ketchup
is star performer. For ketchup, as
a cooking aid, begins where other
foods leave off.
Ketchup is concentrated flavor.
1t is very essence of tomato, boiled
down with precious, pre-war spice.
AS our national belt is nipped in a
couple of notches, such condiments
as ketchup will he doubly needed to
make pallid food taste better.
Civilian ketchup was famed as a
flavoring for sauces, soups, sand
witches, and salads. Now wartime
ketchup has bigger job to do.
1t must make meatless dish S
meaty. 1t must create an illusion of
meat. 1t must-by its very associ-
alton, its pungency, its strength
convey an impression of meat where
there is none, and keep us all con-
tent.
Here are two new recipes in which
ketchup does that job: A meatless
New England boiled dinner topped
with cheese pinwheels, and heap

DELAWARE'S
FARM FRONT
THIS WEEK

The Delaware USDA War Board
has recommended suggested goal
of 10000 acres of wheat for next
year. This goal is 1000 acres
higher than the harvested acreage
of this year which numbers $4,000
acres.
This suggested goal is in line
with the increased demand for
wheat, however, agricultural offic-
ials point out that there should not
be unlimited increases in wheat at
the detriment of other essential
war crops.
Community committeeman of the
Agricultural Adjustment Agency
will not visit individual Delaware
farms this year to check compli-
ance with the agricultural conser-
walton program. Instead each
farmer will report his own prac-
tees.
The AAA reports that in the
next few weeks training meetings
of committeeman and local groups
of farmers will be held to explain
the reports which will be expected
of the farmers.
The farmers participating in the
AAA program will be expected to
report the acreages of their allot-
ment crops, the kind and acreage
of soil conserving crops they have
seeded during the year and the
amount and kind of soil building
materials such as lime and chem
ical fertilizers that they have APP
piled.
The war food administration has
authorized manufacturers of farm
machinery and equipment to dis
tribute 40 per cent of production OF
rationed items through normal dis
tribution channels. They are re-
quired first to fill quotas issued
them by WFA-which were design
ed to place rationed machinery and
equipment where needed to satisfy
state and county quotas established
under last years program. This
program will be in effect until a
permanent program is completed
for distribution of rationed machin-
cry and equipment being produced
under Order L-257. These items
are still rationed at the dealers
level.
