RATIONINC:
More Tires, More Gas

Because Of the increased quota OF
tires for civilians, OPA has amended
its gas rationing regulations outside
Of the II eastern seaboard states
and the District Of Columbia.
Following Rubber Administrator
William Jeffers' announcement that
more Grade A tires would be avail
able for essential use, the OPA
boosted the maximum allotment Of
gas for occupational driving from
470 to 720 gallons per month. The
figure is based on an average Of is
miles per gallon Of gas.
Formerly, only doctors. ministers
and some classes Of statesmen re-
ceived the cherished 'C' card allow
ing 720 miles for occupational driv-
ing. Average aIlotments on "B"
cards Appropriated 470 miles. Now
&C" cards will be available on ap-
plication, showing all travelling will
be done on jobs, OF the car is being
used to transport three or more
persons to war industry.
The OPA also ruled that rationing
certificates for replacing tires on
farm tractors may be issued by To-
cal boards in areas where recapping
facilities are inadequate.

ALEUTIANS:
No Picnic

Swirling mists and rains continued
to hold up American bombings in
the Aleutians. Although prepared to
dump so tons Of explosives on each
trip over Attn and Kiska, weather
has held U. S. fiers to a mere hand
full of raids.
Meanwhile, pilots report the Japs
have succeeded in heavily terrifying
the Aleutians. On recent flights over
the islands, they have encountered
strong anti-aircraft bursts, and air.
men believe the Japs have deliber-
ately withheld some of their fire.
Both Attu and Kiska have few suit
able beaches upon which American
troops could land, most Of the shore
line being steep and craggy. The
Japs have these few beaches thick
ly covered and aptly manned. re-
Numbering the Yanks' successful
surprise landings at Guadalcanal.
Eight months ago. the army said
the Japs probably had 10000 men
stationed in the Aleutians. Ai1men
believe that these troops have since
been strongly reinforced. Summed
up: American observers believe the
battle of the Aleutians will be a big
one, and no picnic.

PRODUCTIONS:
ShiDs and Planes

Stating that American shipyards
could produce 20 million tons of ship
ping a year, Rear Admiral Emory
S. Land, chairman of the U. S. Mari
time Commission, has revealed that
yards are constructing five vessels
a day.
Lands announcement conceded
with one made by Undersecretary
Of War Robert Patterson, in which
he told the Atlanta War Effort COM
mittee that American aircraft manu-
facturers turned out $500 airplanes
in March. Like Land, Patterson de-
clared that many more planes could
be produced if critical materials and
men were available.
Deriding Nazi claims that they
have sunk 80 million tons of Allied
shipping since the start Of the war,
Land said our shipyards will pro-
duce almost 10 million tons this year.
This will be greater than the rest Of
the world combined.
Patterson revealed that production
of major items in the army supply
program exclusive Of aircraft will
approximate 81, 900. 600, 900 in April.
This will be about Is per cen great
er than the January total.

SHIPPING:
Allied Losses

The Allies suffered a net loss Of
n million tons of merchant ship
ping in 1912, the navy department
reported.
The met figure was arrived at
after deducting losses from exist.
ing fleets and new construction dur
ing the year. The navy declared,
however, that figures were incom-
plete, since building records were
not received from some of the AL
lied nations.
In announcing the losses, the navy
pointed out that they included sub.
marine sinkings, mines, airplanes.
capture and otherwise. According tc
Secretary Of the Navy Frank Knox,
submarines accounted for so per cent
Of the losses.
The navy's statement followed a
report by the Truman defense in
vestigating committee that IL mil
lion tons Of Allied merchant ship
ping had been sunk during the year.

TUNISIA:
SLow but Sure

Meeting fierce fire, Allied troops
fought methodically to the APP
proaches Of the Axis final two bas-
tons in Tunisia. Tunis and Bizerte.
While French and American forces
pressed against rocky Axis en-
trenchments in the north, and Brit
ish units contained the enemy in the
mountains in the south, the Allied
First army's armored columns
fought German tanks in the plains in
the central sector.
Driving the Axis from Long Stop
hill, the First army cleared the road
leading to the Tunis plain to the
east. A little to the south, First
army formations shot it out with
German tanks in fiat country, then
swung off toward the Axis vital CEN
trail sector base Of Pont du Fahs,
which was rapidly encircled.
Resisting bitterly, the Axis was
giving up territory by the foot only,
relying on mortar and machine gun
fire to stop Allied infantry advancing
under cover of massed artillery bar

barges. the Axis continued to run

BRITISH

A great deal is being written on
the question What are we fighting
for?" but if the American public had
looked in on the Servicemen's Can
teen of the National Press club on
a recent Saturday afternoon. they
wouldn't have to be told.
One Of the guests was a British
naval officer, Rear Admiral S. R.
Digit, famed in the British navy for
his toughness in battle. and the salti-
ness of his e yarns. At the Press
Club canteen, he more than justified
this latter reputation to American
soldiers. sailors and marines who
focked around him.
However, it wasn't until the party
was about to break up that the ad.
miral came into his own.
1t isn't every day that an admiral,
British or American. joins a song
fest with gobs and soldiers. but Ad-
miral Digit sang popular American
airs with gust and enthusiasm for
half an hour.
Finally an American sailor called
out: Let's sing this one for the
admiral-For He's a Jolly Good Eel
low!"
What 9llowed was probably the
lustiest rendition of that familiar
tune eve heard in the nations CAPT.
tai. More than 100 soldiers, sailors
and marines joined in the tribute to
Admiral Digit, who looked almost
as happy as if he had just won a
naval battle. 1t was one of the
things we are fighting for-democ.
racy.

RUBBER FROM OIL REFINERIES

1t has now been more than a year
since far-sighted Oil Co-ordinator
Ickes urged that synthetic rubber
be made by converting small oil
reineries, closed by gasoline ration
ing, instead Of building the mon
strous new rubber factories which
will not be finished until 1914 and
which require millions of tons of
precious steel and copper.
After long delays the first of these
converted small refneries will begin
making rubber IN May l. 1t is the
Eastern States Petroleum Refinery
at Houston, Texas, and the results
promise to be astounding.
Not a single new steel vessel,
pump, tank, or piece Of piping, Sc
badly needed for escort vessels by
the navy, have been used. Further.
more. the total new material Of 9th.
er types amounts to only 20 per cent
of the cost of the entire job.
However, this Eastern States plant
will produce in IL months enough
butadiene to make 1000, 900 tires,
plus ingredients for several thousand
tons Of high octane gasoline per day
Also, because it was not necessary
to build new walls. roofs. equipment.
this converted refinery will produce
butadiene at a cost equivalent to a
little over 81 per tire, based on the
investment.

Washington, D. C.


Many an American mother Is
hearing from her boy: why don't
you write? I haven't had a letter
from home for ages" And she
knows she has written faithfully ev-
cry day.
The explanation is the U-boat,
which the war department regrets
to say caused the loss Of several
million pieces Of mall during the
first three weeks Of March alone.
But still the mother wonders why
some of her daily letters don't get
through. Even if a third Of them
we're sunk her boy should have re-
ceived 20 letters in the month.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work that
way. If she writes 80 letters a
month all those letters may have
accumulated in the Port Of New
York or some other port waiting for
a convoy outward bound. Conveys
cannot leave every day or two. So
all 80 letters might 60 into n ship
and if that ship is sunk her son will
have nc mail for a month.
There is no solution to this prob
lem except to keep on writing.
