HAVE WAIVED TIME

Although the military and naval
officers in command at Pearl Har-
bor-Major General Walter c. Short
and Rear Admiral Husband E. KIM
mel-hoth have waived the statute
of limitations to permit court-mar-
tial proceedings after the war, the
resolution was adopted because con-
gressional leaders doubted whether
Short and Kimmel could legally
make the waiver.
In addition, Short said there was
strong indication" that civilian
officials were at least partially re-
sponsible for the Pearl Harbor dis
aster, and that they also would be
protected by the limitations stat
ute unless it were extended. He
said he had received an unpreced-
ented number of official phone
calls" about the resolution and
commented: There seems to be an
awful lot of people nervous about
this"

CIVILIAN USE

Civilian consumption in South
ern California is only 5 per cent
under the total in 1910 due to the
influx in population and the fact
that approximately SO per cent OF
the production goes to the military
service and the government. This
condition has caused PAW direc-
tives to be issued the industry in an
effort to conserve gas for only es-
sential uses.
THE pleasure car owner is going
to be hurt and he must cut him
self down to essential driving,
otherwise the supply can't last,
Mr.. Spring said STANDARD stations
are now on a daily quota, and when
they sell that they lock up their
tanks" he continued There's an
acute shortage and there's apt to be
no relief. in fact it likely will get
worse. We are giving every con-
sideration to the fact that the I'M
perial valley peak is on now, but
even though we and other COM
panies are doing all we can to get
sufficient gas in the valley, it
doesn't mean there will be any for
pleasure use" he emphasized.
