LONDON, Jan. 26.-Vichy au-
thorities have proclaimed a state
of siege in Marseille, the Vichy
radio reported today, after dis
patches from Switzerland told of
angry Frenchmen fortifying their
homes in the old port district of
the city and firing on German
soldiers ordered to evacuate the
district.
The German news agency DNB
said in dispatches to Madrid and
Lisbon that 10000 persons had been
arrested in the city. The Vichy
radio, which placed the number of
arrested at 5000, was making an
obvious effort to minimize difficult
ties in the old and historic city of
MarSeille, second largest in France.
Shortly after reporting the State
of-siege proclamation, the radio
said Marseille was calm and the
evacuation of the old port district
had taken place without difficulty.
Earlier it had reported that any
one disobeying an order or attempt
ing to shoot would be sentenced to
death.

80 per cent would serve in the land
forces. per cent in the sea services
and 20 per cent in community and

The Policy Committee, he ex-
planned, is engaged in drafting
policies to guide the war training
of 6,500000 high school youths in
28,G00 schools. in order that boys
and girls of the United States may
make maximum contributions to
the war effort"
He said young people should give

now. and added that If the war

they could return to finish their

The first large scale air threat
against Guadalcanal Island in
the Solomons since November
was driven off with loss of four
japanese ZeroS and without loss
of United States planes, the Navy
announced in a communique to-
day. No bombs were dropped on
United States positions.
The communique also told OF con-
solidation of the gains at Kokum-
bona. in which 293 japanese were
killed and five taken prisoners.
Several supply dumps and various
pieces Of ordnance and ammunition
were captured in offensive opera
tions which are still continuing.
Both the air action and the
ground offensive described today
took place Monday tSoIomons
time), The communique said a
large force" of japanese dive bomb
ers, twin-engined bombers and
fighters were involved in the at
tempted attack on Guadalcanal and
were met by the American flyers at
a point between Savo Island and
Henderson Airfield.
Of the ground action the COM
munique said, two units of United
States ground forces joined at Ko-
kumbona on Guadalcanal after one
unit had entered the village from
along the beach to the east and the
other had encircled a strong enemy
pocket and entered Kokumbona
from the south. The maneuver re-
suited in giving United States forces
unrestricted use of Kokumbona and
the beach to the east"
The equipment captured included
several supply dumps, three 6-inch
artillery guns, seven 77-millimeter
guns, two 37-millimeter guns, one
tank, several trucks, three 40-mil-
limeter anti-aircraft guns and vari-
Gus other field pieces and small arms.

Fuel Oil Rationinq
Throughout Nation
Near, Official Says
De Goyler, Ickes Aide,
Declares Production Has
Nearly Reached Capacity
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
BALTIMORE, Jan. 26.-Everett
Lee De Goyler, assistant Federal
deputy petroleum administrator,
told the Council of State Govern
ments today that the time was
not far away when fuel oil would
be rationed throughout the coun-
try.
Mr. de Goyler spoke before the
council in place of Petroleum Ad-
ministrator Ickes, who is i'll, and
asserted that oil production had
nearly reached capacity. He said
that because of war demands pro-
duction was only slightly above the
needs of the Nation.
The speaker predicted the situa-
ton on the Pacific Coast would
grow worse because military de-
mands there made it impossible to
guarantee continued use of the pres
ent fleet of tankers serving that
area.
At the same time Mr.. De Goyler
asserted there was no hope of early
relief in the critical gasoline short
age which has brought a pleasure
driving ban to the eastern seaboard.
Situation Declared Gloomy.
The official painted a gloomy pic
ture of the petroleum situation,
saying I'VE will not be able to move
acio
quirements because of the necessity
of building fuel oil stocks for 1943." J."
Mr.. De Goyler asserted that the
Nation was not likely ever again to
be an oil exporter and had reached
the stage where it would be neces-
sary to import oil supplies in subse-
quent years.
He said that present military and
civilian needs now we're being met,
but increasing war needs will place
real pressure" on the Nation S
productive capacity before the end
of this year.
One of the measures being taken,
he explained, to increase production
is raising by so per cent the number
of wildcat wells" being drilled this
year over any previous year.
Immediately after Mr.. De Goyler
Virginia attacked the inclusion of
his State in the critical Eastern
gasoline area, declaring it was clos
ing thousands of filling stations
along the Ohio River.
Gov. Nicely declared that gasoline
produced in West Virginia was being
shipped to Ohio and Kentucky and
then sold back to West Virginians
who go into bordering States because
basic gasoline ration coupon value is
4 gallons against in West Virginia.
In another address, Gov. j. M.
Brougfihton of North Carolina
blamed the States themselves for
much of the almost terrifying ex-
panSion of Federal encroachment
upon the original domain of the
States"
But, Gov. Broughton predicted in
his address, I'VE may discover in the
years Immediately ahead that Wash
ington is more disposed to pass the
buck to the States than to raid their
jurisdictions"

0PA Plans 10 Allow
Price Increases on
Bakery Luxury Items
Breed to Be Excepted
From Order Relieving
Squeeze of Producers
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

The Offlce of Price Admins
tration plans soon to allow price
increases on nearly all bakery
products except bread as a
means of relieving the squeeze"
on bakeries resulting from the
recent rise in -four cost, it was
learned today.
officials plan to hold bread prices
at current levels at least for the
time being, though there is no as
surance they will be able to prevent
ceiling break indefinitely. Action
over the week end in releasing mil
lions of bushels of Government
owned wheat on the market at
parity prices is expected to have
some effect in preventing further
increases in flour prices.
Bakery products on which OPA
will permit price boosts include So
called luxury items, such as cakes,
doughnuts, cookies, pies, jelly rolls,
tarts and fancy pastries. The pre-
else amount of increase to be al
lowed has not been decided on,
though, it will be graded to meet
price squeezes on the different types
OF establishments.
Small Bakeries Hit Harder.
Small bakeries as a whole have
been hit harder by rising opera
tional costs than the larger firms,
Members Of Congress have COM
planned that stores in their home
States were being forced out OF
business by the higher flour price
allowed millers this month by OPA,
This increased cost has been par
ticularly hard on bakeries in locali-
ties where there has been little or
no increase in business because of
war work. In busy centerS, the
blow has been Softened by larger
turnover of goods.
OPA officials estimate that ap-
proximately 80 per cent of the small
bakers business is in the luxury
products. The percentage is not so
large in rural areas where bakeries
handle more bread.
When OPA announced that flour
prices would be increased from 40
to 96 cents barrel. depending on
location, the Agriculture Department
simultaneously reported new regula-
tions designed to affect savings in
bakery operations. The two most
important were the ban on sliced
bread and the accompanying regu-
lation prohibiting bakeries from
taking back bread which was not
sold by stores. Both were designed
to cut costs of operation.
Savings Said Small.
The new regulations have proved
virtually no help to small firms
which trade largely in luxury
items, Even the large bakeries have
found the saving resulting from the
ban on slicing to be infinitessimal
though they have received some
relief from the other regulation.
Several days ago, it was said
OPA decided to allow price in
creases in luxury" items to con-
Sumers ranging from 5 to IS per
cent. Officials since have recon-
sidered the action, and the increase
to be allowed in the new order ex-
pected this week probably will not
result in such a large boost in the
housewives budget.
Bakeries also have been squeezed
between their own hard price CELL
ings and rising costs of labor and
other ingredients of their products
For example, the price of pecans and
other nuts used in luxury" prod
ucts have increased as much as 10C
per cent In recent months.
