Elmer Davis Warned
Senate Group Plans
Searching Questions
Hoyt Due This Week
To Succeed CowIes as
owl Domestic Chief
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Elmer Davis, whose Office of War
Information is threatened with a
drastic curtailment through a
House economy drive, was warned
today to have all the answers ready
for senatorial critics.
Mr.. Davis is scheduled to appear
before the Senate Appropriations
Committee this week to ask res
toration of funds eliminated by the
House in voting abolition of Owls
domestic branch.
Senator Bridges, Republican, Of
New Hampshire, who last week as
sailed Mr.. Davis statement that
Washington news is inadequately
reported, said he planned to ask the
Owl chieftain "the answer to a
great many things" Other Senators
expressed similar views.
Meanwhile Palmer Hoyt, publish
er of the Portland Oregonian, was
due here this week, as the new
chief of Owls domestic branch, a
post which will become nonresident
unless the Senate restores the ap-
preparations cut decreed by the
House. Mr.. Hoyt was named to
succeed Gardner Cowles, jr., pub
Usher of the Des Moines Uowa)
Register and Tribune, whose reSig-
nation was announced long before
the fight on Capitol Hill over Owl
funds.
The House cut off SIS 500, 900, leav-
ing the Owl with $28,972 900 to
finance foreign propaganda but
nothing for home front activities.
Senator Bridges told reporters:
The House decision is the nat
ural consequence of the attitude
and actions of the Owl in the do
mestic field"
Some House Republicans have
charged that Mr.. Davis organiza-
tion was active in promoting a
fourth term for President Roose-
welt, but Senator Ellender, Demo-
crat, of Louisiana said he regarded
the action eliminating the funds
as "a spite vote"
Davis may have talked too much
at times" Senator Ellender said.
but I think he has been doing a
pretty good job"
There were evidences, however. of
a Republican determination in the
Senate-apparently shared by some
Democrats-to halt the domestic
activities of the owl. Mr.. Davis
has said that unless the full appro-
prlation is allowed there won't be
any Owl and that is that"

Solution Of Gas Crisis
Due in Near Future
Nelson Tells Probers
Eost Will Get Enough
Fuel to Meet Essential
Needs, WPB Chief Soys
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

Donald M. Nelson, chairman of
the War Production Board, today
told a joint congressional commit
tee that an early solution of the
gasoline and fuel oil problem in
the East could be expected.
Testifying before committee of
House and Senate members created
to seek additional supplies of gas
for the II East Coast States from
Maine to North Carolina and the
District. Mr.. Nelson declared:
Il think you can look for a COM
plete and direct solution of the
problem in the near future"
He warned, however. the area
would not get "all it wants. but that
the supplies would meet essential
requirements.
A few minutes earlier Price Ad-
ministrator Prentiss M. Brown told
the committee he did not believe a
boost in the price of crude oil would
Immediately relieve the gas shortage
in the East.
He said the first proposal for
higher prices was rejected several
months ago because of President
Roosevelt's hold the line" order,
but admitted it was being recon-
sidered in the light of subsequent
developments. He warned, however,
that an increase in oil prices would
have "a marked effect on the ceiling
prices OF many other articles"
Eastman Predicts Relief.
Joseph B. Eastman, director Of
the Offlce of Defense Transporta-
ton, also predicted, as a result Of
railroad tank car distribution an
increase Of oil shipments to the East.
He explained $4,000 barrels of oil
are coming into the area each day
by tank cars and he felt hopeful
that the 1000 ,000-a day mark soon
would be reached.
Maj. J. r. Parton, director of
transportation for the Petroleum
Administration for War, who repre-
sented Petroleum Administrator
1ckes, was critical of the gasoline
rationing program and declared 'it
doesn't work" He said if there
were proper control over the dis
tribution of gas for essential civil
ian use, the East Coast States would
get an adequate supply" But, he
added:
so long as control is not exerted
to force civilians to live within the
means of supply, we are going to
have shortage. We can't run the
oil distribution business from the
bottom of the tank"
Rationing Record Cited.
Mr.. Brown explained that i'm
provements in the method of ra-
tioning gas and fuel oil lis a diff
cult task" but said steps have been
taken in that direction with the
cooperation Of other war agencies
concerned.
I'm the Eastern Seaboard area"
he said, "only S per cent more ra-
tioning coupons were available than
the gas available from January to
June, whereas on the other hand
there was more fuel oil available in
the same period than called for by
the coupons outstanding"
He said this was pretty good"
record on the part of rationing
boards in view of. the fact that Is
per cent of the country's population
lives in the East.
Representative Gavin, Republican,,
OF Pennsylvania, demanded to know
whether the situation was due to an
actual shortage of the motor fuel or
the lack of transportation. He also
heatedly demanded to know why
the price of crude oil had not been
raised to help static" oil industry.

CAST FLOWERS( while one
lives"
Once at a funeral in China. an
American watched the family of
the deceased Chinese put a bowl
OF rice into the casket. After the
service, the American asked of the
members of the family, when do
the dead eat the rice?" The China
man replied, at the very minute
your American dead comes up to
smell the flowers you put on their
graves"
SOMETIME ago it was revealed
to me that w. j. Miller, editor of
the Mississippi Enterprise, was send
ing hundreds of papers to USO
Centers free for the benefit of mo-
rale building for service men. Very
few times do we get praise for great
feats of service as they performed
by Mr.. Miller, so, this week, in
keeping with my policy to Cast
Flowers, while one lives" and to
commend and praise the various
business men throughout the state.
who are doing something worth
while, this week, my bouqet is Civ
or, 10 EJi+o,. RT;l1oY
MARK ANTHONY once said over
the grave of his friend Caesar, 1.-The
evil men do live after them, but
the good is entered with their
bones" So it is with a number of
business men and especially our
friend mentioned above. 1t is so
easy for us to see the evil that our
friends do and continuously over
look the many good deeds that they
are doing. But, you who read my
column know that l have consist
emily striven to point out good in
various business men throughout
the state.
l HAYS had several letters from
the seven seas from soldiers, prais-
ing the Enterprise and our column.
They say they eagerly look forward
to receiving the papers. Recently
we published one such letter from
Sgt. Sud Draughn which had been
sent to me over a possible distance
of five thousand miles.
WELL, SHAKESPEARE said, "do
good-then if thou fallest, thou fall
est a blessed myrtar" :. So I say
to Editor Miller, the building OF
soldiers morale is a wonderful
thing and I am sure these soldiers
and their families appreciate the
good deed you are doing in sending
these papers into the various camps
thereby helping these boys keep ir
contact with happenings at home
