RICHMOND, July 10.-Virginia's &
case for gasoline -rationing relief
based on studies that show gas sup
plies in the State have increased
steadily in recent months, will be
presented by Gov. Darden early
next week to Petroleum Admins
traitor Ickes.
The Governor, apparently hope
full that some adjustment might be
made, said he would put details Of
the case in the hands of Mr.. Ickes,
who has final responsibility for gas
rationing policies administered py
the OPA.
This action will follow a confer
ence held by Virginia and PAW rep
resentatives this week after Gov
Darden had protested that the tight
restrictions now imposed on VIr-
ginia are "inequitable
Data Is Released.
The data on military gaso-
line supplies, authorized for release
by the Governor, showed that total
inventories increased 2O.5 per cent
during May, gained another 25.4 per
cent by June 10, and on May 81
were sufficient to supply State mo-
torists for nearly Is days.
The study, which included whole
sale distributors. but not the retail
service stations, was the basis for the
Governors decision to seek an cas-
ing i'm regulations which he con-
sidefed ''inequitable." Virginia is
the ,southernmost of the Atlantic
Coast States with ban on pleasure
driving.
The report said the acute short
age of gasoline existed only In
Washington and Baltimore and
lasted for only two days.
Gov. Darden arranged to meet
with Representatives Robertson and
Satterf1eld over the week end as the
first of series of conferences
planned with Virginia members of
CONGRESS to formulate concerted
plan of action.
/ Adjustment Hoped For.
Highfay Commissioner James A.
Anderson and Motor Vehicles Di-
rector c. F. Joyner, jr., conferred
yesterday in Washington on the
pleasure driving ban, but later said
only that they we're hopeful" some
adjustment would be made.
Representative Burch, who ar
ranked the conference with E. B.
SwAnson, director of research for
PAW, said he could "see no reason
why there should be any difference
in the ban on gas in Virginia and
in sother parts Of the Seaboard
States"
The study by Mr.. Anderson and
Mr.. Joyner showed that gasoline
imported into Virginia during May
amounted to 53427,015 gallons, as
compared to exports of 15,224,548
gallons.
The State absorbed 35,133,83 GAL
Ions of the total imports, leaving
in the companies oil tanks as OF
May 81. supply sufficient for
nearly Is DAYS on the basis of the
May consumption.
The quantity stored in tanks on
May l was reported to be l5.009,9ls
gallons. This increased to 18,096,-
646 gallons by May 81 and to 2l,-
S22972 gallons by June l9.
Of1cials declined to say whether
the 81 1922 ,972-g gallon supply on June
19 was the approximate total ca
pacity of storage tanks in Virginia.

"All of them have been calling me

people who have it just won't give
it up" he explained.
Everyone who has corn is signed

it more profitable for farmers to

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, July 10.-A long,
dry summer was in prospect today
for Baltimore beer drinkers.
A scarcity of corn, an important
element in most brews compounded
by local brewers, threatened to
translate itself within the next few
weeks into a shortage of beer,
brewers and grain brokers lamented.
Some brewers said a curtailment
of their outputs within two or three
weeks was inescapable unless new
supplies became available-and no
new supplies we're in sight.
Eugene H. Beer. jr., grain broker
supplying most of the normal local
demand of 10 carloads of corn
weekly for breweries, said that corn
Just can't be bought.

conferred with Gandhi at the
Aga Khan palace in Poona and
reported to Liberal Indian lead
ers that on certain conditions
Gandhi might end his fast.
Gandhi insisted that the gov
eminent allow him to confer
with imprisoned members of the
Congress party and that the gov
eminent furnish proofs of its
contention that the party was
responsible for violence which
broke out last August after the
beginning of the civil disobed-
fence campaign. Lord Linlith-
gov, the British viceroy, reject
ed the proposal, it was reported.

American troops attacking

West captured more than 300
German and Italian prisoners
and enough small arms to equip
an entire battalion.
With the coming Of daylight
Maj. Gen. Carl Spaatz, Ameri-

disposal against the battered and
retreating Germans.
They turned the road from
Thala through the Kasserine

MUSICAL HIGH POINT
unsteady the high point OF
the concert was the Dvorak
finale from the Ncv World
Symphony, an ambitious num-
Der performed creditably by the
10 piece concert band. This CON
cert band, which includes all
advanced band students, pre-
sented a wide variety OF selec-
tons to demonstrate the Splen-
did progress they have made
under Barbakoff.
The swing band captured the
hearts of the youngsters when
il swung from two other Ber-
lin numbers into the vivid
Abraham" which closed the
section in a burst of glory.
The concert band returned to
the limelight for the final group,
which included a song medley

FORT BELVOIR, Va, Feb. "a
The greatest proof of the tech
nical advance of World War ii
over World War ! is revealed by
special demonstration of u. S.
Army Corps of Engineers troops
and equipment at this historic
old post, which is one of the
most important training and ma
terial equipment centers in the
United States today.
In the last war, Six-company
regiment Of engineers was at
tached to every division. Its SOL
diers hiked into action to do
their jobs Of map-making, bridge
building, Notifications, mining
and sapping.
VERSATILE SOLDIERS
Today's engineers are COM
pletely mechanical. They ride
into action. Instead of a regi-
ment to a division, stretched ov-
er miles of road when they NOV
ed up to the front, there is a
compact, highly mobile battal-
ion. Thanks to the development
of gasoline, Diesel, electric and
pneumatic power-driven tools
on wheels, todays unit of engin-
GERS can do an estimated five
times the amount of work OF an
old engineer regiment, and IN
less time.

OVATION
Perhaps the most thrilling mo-
ment of the concert came when
the audience rose to its feet
spontaneously as the flag was
,paraded to the center of the
stage, thanked by the brass choir,
for the finale of Sousa's STARS
and Stripes Forever. The ges-
ture was a patriotic climax to a
splendid program.
1t is regrettable that some
members of the audience inter
rupted this moment by their
early departure.
