Fuel Oil Dealers
Ask CIarification
OF Ration Cut
Confusion Reported
On VoIue Of Coupons
Given to SuppIiers

Fuel oil dealers today still were
seeking clarification of an Office of
Price Administration order Satur-
day night which cut the value of
No. unit coupons from 10 to 8
gallons each.
Although the cut to consumers on
a seasonal basis so far amounts to
maximum of only 2 per cent, deal
ers found it necessary to revise their
bookkeeping systems to allow for the
cut. There also was some con-
fusion as to the value of No. 3
coupons turned over to suppliers
by the dealers.
Deadline Is Wednesday.
Under the OPA edict, No. 8 cou-
pons were valid for 10 gallons of oil
to consumers through yesterday.
They are now good for 8 gallons
each. Dealers have been given until
midnight Wednesday to surrender
their coupons at their full value of
10 gallons for residential users and
100 gallons for industrial and COM
mercial consumers.
Some dealers have complained
that this does not give them enough
time to make necessary arrange
ments. 1t was believed the OPA
would act to clarity this procedure.
Most dealers were at work yester-
day making adjustments in line
with the new OPA order. Although
the actual cut to the consumer
would be slight, it was hoped the
reduction would enable dealers to
catch up on deliveries.
Size Of Cut Explained.
Since the seasons allotment of
coupons is divided into five equal
parts, the 10 per cent cut in value
Of Period 3 coupons amounts to only
per cent reduction to consumers
who have used up none of their
No. 3 coupons. This is even smaller
in inverse proportion to the number
Of Period 3 coupons which have been
used. 1t is even further reduced If
consumers have a substantial num-
ber Of specific value coupons left on
their sheets, since none of these has
been reduced in value.
Whether or not coupons for Pc
riods and 5 are to be cut will de-
pend on the available oil supplies
in this area when these coupons
become valid.

Anti-PoI| Tax Bill
May See House Action
Despite Threat Of Split
Murcuntonio Promises
Fight to Force Measure
Through Early in Session
BY the Associated Press.

In the face of warnings by South
ern Democrats that the action might
turn the slim Democratic majority
in the House into a minority, Rep
resentative Marcantonio, American
Labor of New York, announced yes
terday "a plan to pass the anti-poll
tax bill in 1943."
He has drafted for immediate in
PRODUCTION when Congress convenes
Wednesday bill that would outlaw
the poll tax, levied in some Southern
States, as prerequisite of voting for
Federal officials. A similar measure
was passed by the House last session
after bitter fight, but was killed
in the Senate by a filibuster such as
has blocked anti-lynching legislation
In past years. " =
Sees No Filibuster.
Representative Marcantonio said
he could thwart a Senate filibuster
this year by obtaining House action
on the bill early in the session. He
announced he would file discharge
petition in February to force the bill
to the floor from committee and
said there was no doubt the neces-
sary 2l8 signatures would be OBJ
tanned.
Every week." he promised, "the
people of the country will be in
formed which Congressman have
signed the discharge petition and
which have not. 1 am sure the
people will see to 1t, under these
circumstances, that the necessary
2l8 signatures are obtained in short
order"
Predicting House passage by June
Representative Marcantonio COM
mented that "a year and a halt
will be long time for poll-tax Sen
atorS to carry on a fllibuster."
Southerners warned that they
would hold the Democratic leader
ship responsible for the legislation
One influential Democrat on the
House Judiciary Committee, added
that many Southern Democrats
would feel justified in joining Re-
publicans in opposing New Deal

legislation aimed solely at the
South"
Depending on Senate.
They conceded that the chances
of blocking poll-tax and anti-lynch-
ing legislation in the House were
slim, but expressed confidence OF
stopping it in the Senate.
While hesitating to predict an
outright bolt of Southerners from
Democratic voting ranks in the
House, Representative Manasco
Democrat, of Alabama, commented
that there were in the neighborhood
of 100 House members from South
ern States. The Democratic lead
ership is counting heavily on South
erners to retain control in the
closely split new House, where the
Democratic majority was whitfield
to 13 in the November elections.

Visiting Hours
At Emergency
Hospita|Cu
New Schedule
To Relieve Lood
On Nursing Stoff

As another wartime move, Emer-
gency Hospital today reduced its
visiting hours from the customary
eight-hour period to an afternoon
and an evening period totaling only
three hours.
Visitors will be admitted only be-
tween 2 and 4 pm. and between
7 and 8 pm. daily. In the past,
the doors were open to the public
from 10:30 am. to $3.50 pm.
Moreover, only two visitorss will
be permitted in the future to visit
q patient at one time.
j. G. Capossela, superintendent
of Emergency, explained that the
curtailment was in line with rec
concentrations from the District
Health Department and the Dis
trict Association of Hospital Super
3ntendents. Signs announcing the
change were erected at various
points about the hospital yesterday
Mr.. Capossela said the reduction
OF visiting hours would have two
principal benefits, both of which
should be of great aid in. meeting
the increased demands for hospital
service brought on by the war emer-
gency. First of these is the elimina-
ton of the risk of bringing new
infection to patients whose resist
ance already is lowered by the all
ment which has caused them to be
hospitalized.
The other chief advantage will be
In relieving the overworked nursing
staff of the extra load caused by
visitors.
These benefits have been recog-
nized for some time, and health
authorities have been at work on
a plan by which they could be
realized. Announcement already
has been made by hospitals and
hospital associations urging the pub
lie to make no more visits than
necessary to hospitalized patients
during the present emergency.
