vert oil burners to coal show that
the full seriousness OF the situation
is not realized.
Locally the OPA officer here in
structed the IS area rationing
boards to comply with the Hender-
SON "get' tough" policy in regard to
converting oil burners to the use OF
coal.
Whitney Leary. District OPA di-
rector, announced he had received
orders from Mr.. Henderson to apply
the conversion policy vigorously
even if it means heatless buildings" j"
Mr.. Henderson's telegram to Mr..
Leary follows:
In view of the increasingly seri-
Gus fuel oil supply situation, it is
imperative that buildings other than
private dwellings be compelled to
convert or lose their fuel oil ra-
tlons. Only most conclusive proof
that the property is not convertible
will be acceptable. Boards should
terminate heating rations for such
buildings unless:
30 Written proof is presented
that arrangements have been made
for conversion by a definite date
within the current heating season.
or
"(2) The applicant has proved
concluslvely that conversion is i'm
possible.
Convertibility Tests.
"All 1,l0l applica tions for resi-
dental users), except cold-water
flats, regardless of the size of the
ration or whether or not converted
to coal, must be tested for converti-
bility. 1t is the responsibility of
the board to see that conversion is
made at the earliest possible date
and that the final ration allotment
is only up to this date Boards
should fix time limits of conversion
to accomplish savings in oil burned
during the next two months when it
is needed most.
Instruct each local board in your
area at once to apply this policy
vigorously even if it means heatless
buildings
Mr.. Leary also reminded fuel oil
dealers to exchange all Period
ration coupons which they collected
up to midnight Sunday for certifi-
Gates from their local boards before
midnight tomorrow if they want to
collect the full value of such cou-
pons. Period 3 coupons we're re-
duced in value by 10 per cent effec-
tive yesterday. Dealers who turn in
these coupons after tomorrow will
face 10 per cent cut, whether or
not they redeemed them at their
full value.

Filming Landing

LONDON, Jan. 5.-The odyssey Of
three Navy men who found them
selves too far ashore and were
trapped for two days by German
troops around the city of Tebourba
in Tunisia was recounted today by
1t. John McClain, U. S. N. R.. for
mer New York reporter and Holly

Mr.. Rhea and McClain joined him

new French truck in garage, how
ever, and loaded it with cameras,
tommyguns and hand grenades and

A few days later, acting on their
understanding that the Allies were
in possession of Tebourba. 20 miles
from Tunis, the three holed up
in an abandoned farmhouse near
the city and prepared to wait for
some action to photograph.
They were delighted, therefore,
when they sighted 20 tanks lined up
on the brow of nearby hill-until
a British infantry captain remarked
conversationally: Those are Ger
man tanks and we are cut off"
With the road out blocked by
German tanks and paratroopers, the
photo unit moved to a farm a mile
below Tebourba on the Medjez-el-
Bah road, where the British had set
up a pair of 25-pound guns. Soon
33 German tanks came charging
and the British captain ordered:
Lower sights to 600 yards and fire" :"
Knocked Out Seven Tanks.
The two-gun battery knocked out
seven tanks, but itself suffered many
casualties. 1t. McClain, assigned
to aid the injured, picked up man.

about him-he's dead"

Civilian Canned Food
To Exceed Original
'43 Quota Estimate
Supply Is Increased
From 33 Pounds to
35-40 Per Person

The canned food supply for civil
1ans has been raised from 33 pounds
to between 354 and 403 pounds a
person for 1943, the Agriculture De-
partment announced last night in a
revised estimate of the forthcoming
rationing of canned, frozen and
dried foods.
This will mean an additional max
imum of 7 pounds of foods for each
man, woman and child, it was ex-
planned. The new estimate COM
prises commercially canned fruits,
vegetables, soups, baked beans and
baby food.
The department said the revision
was made because the first rationing
announcement stated that frozen
and dried foods were included in the
rationing, but failed to count canned
soups, beans and baby food.
Home-Canned Food Exempt.
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
recently announced the point ra-
tioning plan to the Nation in a radio
address.
1t was stressed at the department
that rationing does not include food
canned in the home. Housewives
can have all the home-canned food
they want, a spokesman said.
The revised figure now brings the
basic per capita consumption of
canned, dried and frozen foods
closer to the 1935-l939 average Dur
ing that period. the average con-
sumption was As pounds annually,
the department estimated.
An Office of War Information
statement issued at the time of Mr.
Wickard's address established the
first figure of 33 pounds a person,
the Agriculture Department spokes-
man said. Owl was expected to is
sue a clarifying statement today.
Available Amounts Listed.
The department listed the follow
Ing amounts of canned foods avail
able in 1943 for civilian consump-
ton:
Canned fruits-Thirty to 36 mil
lion 24-can cases of No. 2l2 cans;
estimated per capita supply, 10 to
II pounds.
Canned getables-Eighty to 85
million 24-can cases of No. 2 cans;
1872 to 1914 pounns a person.
Canned soups-Eighteen to % mil
lion 48-can cases of No. l picnic
cans; A to 5.4 pounds a person.
Canned baked beans-Six to eight
million 48-can cases of No l picnic
cans: Is to pounds a person.
Canned baby foods-Twelve to IA
million 48-can cases of No. 202 cans;
l.3 to is pounds a person, based on
the entire population
The department predicted an in
crease in the cultivation of Victory
gardens this spring, since home
canned foods will not be rationed.
