medical director of the American
Red Cross. The number of cases
now is on the "upswing," he ad-
mitted.
The cases usually begin with a
cold and mild infection of the
upper respiratory tract. in the nose
and throat, and sometimes the
bronchial tubes, he explained. A
fever runs for couple of days,
sometimes longer. sometimes less.
If people develop these symp-
TOMS" DR.. De Kleine said, they
should not work, under any condi-
ton, but should go home and stay
there. not only for their own well
fare, but for the protection of others.

This type of the mild influenza
usually cures itself, although the
patients usually are sick for couple
of days" To allay alarm, he en-
phasized, it was not the fatal type
OF influenza of 1918.

Allied forces in this theater have.

attacked. They have done that
under conditions never encountered

that Japan had rich resources and

Russians Apply Pressure
On kozis' Satellites

MOSCOW, Dec. 6 LP,.-The Rus
slams applied new pressure today to
persuade Germany's satellites to
quit the war.
The Soviet trade union journal. War
and the Working Glass. delivered a
strong warning that Finland, Hun
gary and Rumania would suffer
worse consequences the longer they
fingered in the battle.
1T is clear the publication said
that the vassals of Germany which
continue the robbers war against
the Allies and delay their with
drawal from the Hitlerite coalition
will seriously worsen their fate"
The warning was the strongest
yet published here and was regarded
as particularly significant in view OF
the fact that it closely followed the
Teheran meeting.
The article severely criticized
Polish circles in London and quoted
Polish newspaper there as report
ing that Polish guerrillas would
fight the Red Army unless the Rus
slams renounced the provinces OF
Wilma in the Western Ukraine and
Western White Russia.
Soviet public opinion expects the
creation of a new. strong democratic

|ckes Sees Problem
OF Oil transportation
Cleared Up by Spring
BY the Associated Press.

bS the Associated Press.
Secretary of the Interior Ickes said
yesterday the petroleum transporta-
ton problem will be largely over
come by next spring, but that the
trouble then will be shortage in the
domestic supply.
Mr.. 1ckes, petroleum administrator
for war, said imports in greater VOL
ume than preWar days would have
to be made because the home output
will not meet requirements. He gave
no figures.
BY spring, petroleum transporta-
ton projects including pipelines will
be completed, providing for the East
Coast an overland capacity of about
l ,625 900 barrels daily. he said.
Ralph K. Davies. deputy PAW ad-
ministrator, said that the Big Inch
pipeline is reaching capacity flow.
In early l94l pipeline transpor-
tation of oil to the Eastern States
amounted to about $4,000 barrels a
day. he said To-day this under
ground flow exceeds 475,OOO barrels
day; by spring the flow is sched-
uled to advance to about TOO ,OO(
barrels, day
With the mounting pipeline flow
Mr.. Davies added, tank car ship
ments to the East have been re-
duced to less than 100000 barrels
daily. This permitted diversion OF
5000 tank cars to Midwest and Cali
fornia runs.
Motor truck haulage of oil in
creased to a point where 25,OOo tank
cars could be transferred from
short-haul to long-haul movement
Inland waterway transportation
has been boosted from $4,000 bar
rels daily in April, 1912, to 1863 900
barrels.

Rail Tie-up Feared
In 0vercrowding Of
Food Storage Plants

The Office OF Defense TranSpOrta-
ton has prepared report warning
that food storage plants are SO
jammed there is the danger that
rail movements will be slowed and
that refrigerator cars will remain on
sidings unable to unload their car
goes.
Production in food processing
plants already has been slowed as a
result of shortage in storage facili-
ties, admitted by the War Food Ad-
miniStration.
| Defense Transportation Director
Joseph B. Eastman has called the
attention of Food Administrator
Marvin Jones and Price Administra-
tor Chester Bowles to the situation
and coupled with it a suggestion
that some action be taken by the
two agencies to relieve the strain on
storage facilities.
Ration Cut Urged.
! ODT storage experts-and pre-
sumably Mr.. Eastman himself-pri-
vately advocate that ration values
on certain foods be lowered and
that VIA release some of its stored
foods AS the quickest means to re-
lleve the jam.
A VIA spokesman admitted that
both cold and dry storage space was
very tight" condition he attrib-
uted to the seasonal movement of
processed foods for winter storage
and to increased hog marketings.
The Government has large inven-
tories Of butter on hand he said.
but this supply now is being reduced
as shipments to Russia increase.
Butter pledged to that country
under lease-lend for the next year
is sent during winter months be-
cause of Russia's lack of cold stor-
age facilities, he said
The spokesman insisted there
would be no wholesale release of
Government-held food stocks, de-
spite recurrent reports from the
trade The Food Distribution Ad-
ministration is constantly reviewing
requirements of various claimants
on food stocks, he said, and when
an adjustment can be made. supplies
are released for civilians.
Insist on Backlog
Food officials insist on a backlog
OF supplies. including butter, in
order to supply the armed services
and lease-lend should their de-
mands suddenly increase and also
to release foods when civilian short
ages occur.
Since November l. the FDA has
released from Government stocks
the following quantities of foods for
civilians:
Peaches, 100000 cases and more
expected peas. 100000 cases;
ketchup. $4,000 cases on November
and 100000 cases today: grapefruit
Juice, 2,400,0 900 cases: pineapple. 540,-
900 cases; figs. 1900 cases; toma-
toes, l,640,000 cases; string beans.
100000 cases; dried beans. 100 900
bags of 100 pounds each: raisins,
approximately 100000 tons by jan
uary /: dried prunes. about 10000
tons, and currants. $500 tons. FDA
also is planning to order a release
on canned apples and perhaps cam
ned pork and beans.

Bases of Complaints.
Chairman Thomas E. Lodge of
the ABC Board said that the COM
plants from the public were based
on price, quality and nonavaila bility
particularly of whiskieS.
Among the reasons advanced for
the present situation by Mr.. Lodge
were the decreased amount brought

excess Of current needs: alleged
purchases by persons wishing it for
improper channels" buying by
transients in the city: the alleged

Of nearby Maryland and Virginia.
Mr.. Lodge, who said there had
been increased imports by licensees.
said the board was trying to find
out on what kinds of liquor the tax
stamps were being used. At present.
it was pointed out, the mere figures
on the sale of stamps give no indi-
cation of the kind of liquor imported
He added that the statement about
increased imports was based on
comparisons with 194l figures.

informed that standard brands pre-
viously on the market have been
taken off and have not been COM

The Senate may decide tomorrow
how it feels about an cents ar

Senator Truman, Democrat, ol
Missouri said last night he would
seek action then on his resolution
putting Congress on record as favor
ing the increase. 1t was approved
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mittee
Meanwhile, administration lead
ers were reported baked in efforts
to find some acceptable compromise
between the cents and the 4 tc
10 cents an hour sliding scale in
crease approved by Stabilizatior
Director Fred M. Vinson.
Fear Future Appeals.
The leadership has been attempt
ing to prevent Congressional action
which would overrule Mr.. Vinson S
decision, contending that such a
move would open the way for fu-
ture wage appeals direct to Con-
gress.
Mr.. Vinson contended that the
fat-rate increase agreed on by the
carriers and Is unions would break
the line of the Little Steel wage
formula (which permits only a Is
per cent increase over January
l94l, pay.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mittee asserted in its formal report
on the measure, however. that the
Scent increase will not weaker
but will fortify the hold-the- line
policy of the President and there
fore should be made effective al
once"
Want Congressional Interpretation
If cents does violence to the
Little Steel formula, what does
to 10 cents do to it?" demanded
the report, prepared by Senator
johnson, Democrat, of Colorado.
Reciting that the agreement or
the Scent increase had been reach
ed through the orderly procedures
of the Railway Labor Act, the COM
mittee said that Congress ought
now to insist that the terms of that
act be carried out.
TT seems to us that it becomes
incumbent on Congress to interpret

When we describe Roosevelt as a
man who is regarded as the greatest

IF peace based on a regime of
