West Blamed by lckes
For Gas Shortage In East
By the Associated press

~ Inc ASSoclkLeo Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 11-Secretary
Of the Interior Ickes said today ia a
letter to the Times that the reason
Eastern motorists were not allotted
more gasoline September 1 was that
civilian consumption in the West
was not reduced sufficiently to make
available the additional products
which We had hoped to be able to
move East"
"At the same time" Mr.. Ickes
wrote, civilian consumption in the
East remained above the supply
which we had certified that we could
provide. thus necessitating a drain
upon our already depleted inven.
tories.
add to these factors the loss In
gasoline which resulted from the
August hurricane on the Gulf Coast
and 1t should be perfactly obvious to
anyone why 1t was not possible to
provide more motor fuel for the
East Coast civilians on Septem-
ber l." ..,.
Mr.. Ickes said there never hid
been any inconsistency in state
ments from his ofiice as to prospec-
tive motor fuel supplies. ~

Sub Sinkings Exceed
Ship Loss in August

The Allies are ready to attack
submarines with utmost vigor" ii
they resume assaults on United
Nations shipping, the Office of War
Information announced today after
reporting that U-boats sunk during
August exceeded the number of mer-
chant ships lost.
Despite a relentless search by
Allied surface and air forces, Owl
said opportunities for attacking sub
marines were comparatively few be-
cause the enemy made virtually no
attempt to attack North Atlantic
shipping.
The announcement was issued
through joint arrangement with
the British Ministry of Information
after consultation with the British
Admiralty, United States Navy and
Canadian Department of National
Defense for Naval Services.
Surface and air forces have both
contributed to this months work by
the efficiency of their escorts, pa
trolls and offensive operations" the
report said. "Shore-based aircraft
have often had to face powerful
enemy air opposition and carrier
borne aircraft have played a most
important part"
1t was the first report on the
Battle of the Atlantic since Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill disclosed that 9O-U boats
had been destroyed in the months
of May. June and July-a record of
almost one a day.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, Sept. 11.-How an
Italian battleship was split open and
sunk by bombs dropped by German
planes in fierce half hour battle
off Corsica was told here today by
an RAF pilot, Wing Comdr. H. Law
Wright, VINO was an eyewitness.
The bombers attacked in the
Strait of Bonifacio soon after q
f1otilla of warships escaped from
Nazi-dominated ports in Northern
Italy.
The ships were under constant
Allied reconnaissance from Italian
to Allied ports, but the attack was
made while the ships were beyond
range OF protection from Allied
| fighter planes.
/ British warships later met and es-
corted the italian fleet into port.
The battleship victim was accom-.
panied at the time of the attack by
several other Italian warships, in.

which made Malta safely.
Law-Wright was plotting an Raj

and was keeping the flotilla in sigh,

tacking German shipping between
Sardinia and Corsica" and sank a
battleship and a cruiser, and severe
ly damaged another battleship, q
cruiser and destroyer.
The two battleships delivered
to the Allies from laramie, the dis
patches said, were the Andrea Doria
and the Giulio Cesare, both ancient
23,622-ton warships which were re-
constructed and modernized in 1897.
Each carries ten 12-inch guns as its
main armament. E,-..a.
Gibraltar Report Discounted.
A check of Gibraltar, residents
available at La Linea, Spain,
indicated that last nights report
that six Italian warships had
entered Gibraltar Bay yesterday was
not correct.
The only ships visible in the bay
today were the United States battle
ship Texas, a number of smaller
Allied craft and Is Allied merchant
men.
The German radio mentioned only
seven ships as reaching Palma Sde
Mauorca and identified the vessels
as an Italian cruiser and six de-
stroyers, and said they were ain-
termed by Spanish authorities.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Bern, Switzerland, also said seven
Italian warships. including @the
Roma, had reached the Balearics.
Wounded crewmen from the Roma
were reported to~haye, been taken to
Palma hospitals, Indicating the war-
. ship had met opposition from the
Germans in its fight. The Roma
is one of the most modern of Italian
fighting ships. having been commits
stoned only in 1910. 1t carries nine
f5-inch rifles.
Thus, all but one OF the seven
battleships believed in italian hands
when the armistice was announced
apparently were accounted for. It
was not known whether the re-
naming battleship was in condition
to sail from Italian ports, as several
had been damaged at various times.
Benefit Is Problematical.
The immediate benefit of Italy's
capital ships to the Allied sea war is
problematical, but there were long
range possibilities.
1t will take time to re-equip them
with new guns of Allied caliber and
there is also the question OF man
ming them. 1t was considered that
they would be useful for patrol work
and hunting sea raiders, but of little
use in any co-ordinated battle action.
Despite severe losses, the latest
accounts indicated that in addition
to her battleships and cruisers Italy
had 3 aircraft carriers, Is destroy
ers, so to go submarines and large
number of smaller craft.
On entering the war, Italy had a
merchant navy exceeding 1000, 600
tons in the Mediterranean. Ac-
questions from the French and new
construction added 100000 tons to
this.
Ferry service to Africa, however,
was hard hit by Allied naval and
air attacks and about half of the
total Is believed to be at the bottom
Of the sea.

Hitler Protection
|0f Vatican Causes !,
Deep Concern Here
BY the Associated Press.

os the Associako Press.
The German announcement that
Hitler's armed forces would assume
protection" Of Vatican City has
caused serious concern In ofiicial
quarters here.
The phrase had an ugly sound to
those who recalled previous German
announcements to the effect that
the Wehrmacht had taken over
protection" of Luxembourg or some
other neutral state.
In the absence of direct advices
from the American representative
at the Vatican, however, ofiicials
were cautious in their estimates of
the situation. 1t was pointed out
that theoretically, at least, the Ger
mans could control the Italian capi-
tai without interfering with the
Vatican and its activities any more
than did Mussolini's government or
the Badoglio regime.
A Rome radio broadcast explain.
ing that the German military would
remain outside the capital, except
lor attachments taking over radio,
police, telegraph and telephone
headquarters and the German En-
bassy, seemed to indicate Nazi de.
sire to allay Vatican apprehensions.
On the other hand, 1t was noted that
the German announcement con-
tanned no direct assurance that the
neutrality Of the Vatican state
would be respected.
The violence Of Hitler's language
against the "treacherous italians" in
his speech yesterday afternoon was
taken to mean the Nazis would not
be overgentle in their handling of
any situation on Italian soil from
now on.
1t was conceded that German con-
troll OF Rome might be short-lived If
the Nad high command decided to
make Its main stand against Allied
troops farther north. Should the
Germans choose to hold the Rome
area until they are blasted out, how
ever, the Allies again would be con-
fronted with the problem of how to
strike at the enemy without making
q battle-ground of the Vatican.

World Series
Continued From First Page }

Baseball Commissioner Kenesay
Mountain Lands.
Yankee Stadium has a capacity OF
$4,000 and Sportsman's Park about
5000.
The decision to play all remaining
games after the first three in the
National League winners park was
made, the spokesman said, in a de-
sire to cooperate with the Office of
Defense Transportation in reducing
travel to and from the series.
1t also was decided to allow two
days for travel after the first three
games. Thus the first three would
be October s. 6 and 7, and the re-
naming games would begin Octo-
ber 10.
All games will start at 1:3O pm,
in the time of the city where played.
Prices remain as heretofore: Box
seats. $3.50; grand stand, $3.50; gen.
eral admission, $3.50, and bleachers,
$1.I0. In st. Louis, however. a State
tax would boost the ante to these
levels: Box seats, $500; grand
stand, s5.75; general, $3:45; bleach
erS, $115.
Another decision was that II the
series goes seven games there will
be day of rest between games six
and seven in order to sell tickets for
the seventh. The tickets customarily
are sold in blocks covering three
games each.
Same Charity Setup.
The conferees also agreed to the
same charitable arrangements as
last year, whereby profits of games
three, four, six and seven, after the
players pool is taken out, go to the
War Relief and Service, Inc, which
in turn gives one-half to the Amer
lean Red Cross and half to the Ma
tlonal War Fund, Inc.
The radio broadcasting rights
have been sold for 100000 and this
sum, too, goes into the charity pool.
II the series goes seven games the
pool might total $3.50 900; If only
four games, about $400, 900.
