GERMANY BUILDS
 30 SUBS A MONTH
(Continued on Page D

The Allies have made long strides toward solving the submarine prob lem, but still have failed to find the absolute answer to U-boat warfare. The British press has started rest less criticism of the campaigns pro- gress and have pointed out the need of continued concentration by off, cials, experts and scientists on the problem which now is handled by a committee headed by Sir Stafford Cripps, minister of aircraft produc- tion.
 The Allies submarine combating methods have improved greatly since the last war. Aerial patrols have proved effective but planes still are handicapped by bad wealth CT and their inability to protect conveys at night. Even so, they are credited with preventing any U- 1 boat from surfacing within BOG miles of England at any time.
 The increased effectiveness oi naval escorts for conveys has re- duced the submarine score. This is due largely to improved detection methods but the escort system still is handicapped, in many instances by insufficient numbers and the lack of speed in escorting corvettes
 Air raids on U-boat bases ane factories is 8 new phase of anti submarine warfare developed since the last war. The effectiveness O. raids. however, is uncertain, be- cause of the strong concrete "ga' rages" housing the submarines 1T port, such as at Lorient, and th' fact that submarines are prefabri cated at scattered points. making i difficult to interrupt their produc' tion until they have been assembled
 London newspapers are becoming outspoken in th'2ir criticism of th' Allied handling of the U-boat prob lem.

Retail Dealers Parade
 ToCity yHan In Protest
Continued from Page D

The oil situation here has de- teriorated steadily over a period of several weeks, reaching its worst during the past five or six days. Many householders have journeyed from dealer to dealer without be- ing able to purchase even five gall Ions of fuel for their kitchen or living room stoves, even though they presented coupons.
 Mayor Monagan was devoting every possible moment to efforts to relieve the emergency situation, but the lack of enforcement power was handicap. The shortage here has grown worse day by day, despite the state OPA order forbidding deal- CTS to sell any customer more than 10-day supply.
 The dealers themselves were mak- ing efforts to secure at least temp orary supplies, but without success. There was talk of sending a delega- tion to meet with state OPA off1- cials but it was thought that it would be of little avail because of the agency's lack of authority over wholesalers,

STATE

Performances tonight at Warmers State theater. concluded hte engage ment of Marlene Dietrich, Ram dolph Scott and John Wayne in pittsburgh; also the Andrews Sis- ters in Give Out Sisters"
 Tomorrow the State ushers in an- other outstanding treat of the new movie season with the long-awaited "Casablanca", Warner Brothers newest triumph as the headliner of the program.
 Starring Humphrey Bogart, 1I1- grid Bergman and Paul Henreid, "Casablanca" features highly tal- ented supporting cast headed by Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt. Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lore.
 The film, taking its title from the Moroccan city that figured so largely in the recent war news, has to do with refugees from war-torn Europe and their attempts to secure exit visas to the Americas.
 Although the story deals generally with the illicit trade in exit visas the love story of Bogart and Miss Bergman figures prominently and is responsible for much of the swift pace of the picture.
 Opening in Vichy-controlled Cas- ablanca, the picture goes back, in retrospect, to Paris just prior to the NaN occupation where Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman meet and fall in love. Later, they mee' again in Casablanca. It is a tender love story with tragic overtones played against a background oi chaos and conflict; but ending on g new note of hope.
 While the stars of "Casablanca' turn in performances that leave lit. tie to be desired, it is the work oi that masterly quartet of villains Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Syd. ney Greenstreet and Peter LorrG that rounds out the picture. making of 1t a cleverly- -contrived and con- vincing production.

 Despite those moves officials said fuel oil stocks in the eastern area are falling constantly. The peak of the crisis, they said, probably will not be reached before March and the arrival of warmer weather.
 Although the latest order affect ed all types of fuel oil, its impact will be felt mostly in the case of the heaviest types of distillate and residual oils used for operating power plants. In some centers, particularly New York city, the shortage of those types of oil has been particularly severe.
 Ickes on December IS estimated that the daily supply of distillate fuel oil available for the eastern area this month would be 338,000 barrels and of residual oils 281 ,0OO barrels. Officials said to was irn- possible to estimate the saving which would be affected by the new cuts.
 In a joint statement Ickes and Hamm (who has been acting for former Price Administrator Leon Henderson since Friday said the operation of the order would give an accurate index of how fuel oil is being used by various type of commercial, industrial and govern mental consumers. This informa- ton, they said, will serve as 8 use full guide in the development of future programs for fuel distribu- tion.
 Apart from essential war inds- tries, the chief types of consumers exempted from the order included public communications services such as newspapers, radio, telephone and telegraph systems-hospitals, transportation services, water sup- ply and sanitation systems, food preservation and packing plants.

ALLIES CAPTURE
 JAP STRONCHOLDS
Continued from Page D

MacArthur's special communique told of the third phase:
 Continuing the aggressive action which started Sunday, Sananada Village and Sananada Point were captured Monday.
 "Forward elements of our troops reached Giruwa, on the coast.
 The enemy are now reduced to a pocket of 500 yards northwest of the seaward end of Sananada track and a small area between Giruwa and Tarakena.
 Inland, two enemy pockets are under attack"
 Victory Nears General Macarthur and the Uni- ted States and Australian troops under him were thus very close to the biggest Allied victory of the southwest Pacific, the complete elim ination of the Japanese army which landed at Buna, just down the coast months ago. and started a confident drive for Port Moresby, the Allied base on the south coast, whcih was to be the Springboard for an invasion of Australia.
 The climax came in a triple at tack, The Australians, many oi them veterans of the middle east pressed down from Cape Killertor and Wye Point on the northwest while the Americans drove from the southeast, between Giruwa anc Tarakena villages. A mixed force of Australians and Americans at- tackled from directly inland, along the trail to Sanananda Village.
 All that remained was the kill like at Buna, when the Americans and Australians overwhelmed thu desperately resisting enemy troop with bayonet and hand grenade, un' der cover of a mortar barrage, anC killed or captured all but the rem nantS now cornered at Sanananda
 A paragraph in Gen. MacArthurl regular communique for today has foreshadowed the capture of the VII lage and the point:
 Northeastern New Guinea-San' amanda: quickly following the sue cesses of Sunday, our ground force seized Cape Killerton and Wy Point, destroying the defending en- emy troops. General liquidation O the position continues"

 The operations covered by thL paragraph had taken the Australl ans past Cape kiilerton and Wy' Point to within 1000 yards Of thl end Of the eanananda trail.
