LANCER Says Politics Caused
Walker to Ban MAGAZINES
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Langer, Republican, of
North Dakota said today in the Sen
ate that scores of magazines have
been denied second-class mailing
privileges by Postmaster General
Walker who is drunk with power
and will tolerate no opposition
Senator LANCER charged that Mr..
Walker, who also is chairman of the
Democratic National Committee,
barred many of the magazines from
the mails because of political rea-
sons instead of on grounds they
contained obscene matter.
Il say there is no possibility of
free expression in this country to-
day-not while Frank Walker holds
publishers like puppeteers in one
hand and threateningly wields the
club of revocation of privileges and
political censorship in the other
Senator LANCER said.
He said that since he first spoke
of the matter on the floor last week
that Mr.. Walker had restored the
mailing privileges of four magazines

2.16 Pei. Allied
Ships LOST. in
African Push
1900, 900 Gross Tons
Arrived at Ports
In Six Months
BY the Associated Press.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, May 13.-Ship-
ping losses in moving the enOr-
nous number of men and sup
plies into North Africa for the
Allied campaign have amounted
to ZIG per cent of the total traf-
fic, it was announced officially
today.
In the six-month period from No.
vember 8, 1912, to May of this year
a total of more than 100000 gross
tons of shipping arrived in North
African ports, including Casablanca
from the United Kingdom and the
United States.
Since the traffic goes both ways,
the tonnage actually escorted by the
American and British navies thus
was more than 22,OO0,O00 tons.
Losses Chiefly Due to Subs.
The losses suffered through enemy
action were mainly the results of
submarine attacks.
While the number of troops
brought in cannot be disclosed, 800
going vessels at one port
alone have disembarked many men
and more than 100000 tons of
cargo. including food for the local
population, gasoline, coal. princi-
pally for the French utility services;
ammunition, tanks and other ve-
hlcleS.
The reopening of the Mediter-
ranean which the Tunisian victory
effected will cut the route to the
Middle East by thousands of miles.
The trip around the Cape of Good
Hope is so long that ships between
the United Kingdom and Egyptian
ports on that route have been able
to make only three and one-half
roundtrip voyages yearly.
Cargoes Transferred.
A considerable percentage of the
cargoes arriving at North African
ports was transferred to small
coastal vessels and ferried to points
farther east and nearer the front.

have been announced officially.
Perils faced by Allied shipping in
addition to submarines include air
attacks toward the Central Medi-
terranean and mines soWn by enemy
planes outside the harbors.
Throughout the period British
submarines, destroyers and other
craft have been active also, often
sively in the Mediterranean, and
have taken big toll of enemy ship

lckes Blasts
Hope for More
Gas for East
AssuiIs Drivers Who
Prute of Sacrifices
For Other People

Motorists in the District and
IT Eastern States had their hopes
of obtaining more gasoline
blasted today by Petroleum Ad-
ministrator Ickes.
Il don't see any gasoline for pleas
ure driving Mr.. Ickes declared.
Whats more, I haven't seen any
for the past year and half If our
view had prevailed, the whole thing
would have been better for the coun-
try and for the people who have been
kept in state of uncertainty.'
Mr. Ickes said tank car deliveries
to the East were worse last week
than ever before and were still fall
ing off
Rationing Method Criticized
The Secretary criticized the OPA's
method of gasoline rationing. but
said the Petroleum Administration
for War had not suggested any other
system. He charged there were
many more ration coupons out than
could be redeemed with present sup
plies.
Ralph K. Davies, deputy petro-
leum administrator, said nobody. in
Guiding the issuing agency, knows
how many coupons are in circula-
ton.
Mr.. Ickes denounced those who
proclaim with pious JUNCTION" that
they are willing to do anything for
the war effort, but who always make
exceptions of themselves when it
comes to specific sacrifices. He re-
ferred to complaints which have
come from some parts Of the coun-
try that gasoline is available but is
being kept from the motoring pub
lie.
Il wish some Of these people. :"
Mr.. Ickes said, would be willing to
sacrifice and not prate so much
about it."
Some gasoline is kept in reserve
occasionally for short time, the
Secretary explained, but this is
necessary to make sure there is
gasoline available when the armed
services need it.
When he was asked wheth; his
remarks concerning the ga oline
shortage might not tend to induce
run" on service stations, Mr..
Ickes said What difference will
it make? Everybodys getting all he
can now anyway"
Mr.. Ickes. also said he is trying
to get Price Administrator Brown
to reconsider his refusal to grant
a 35-cent average increase per barrel
IN crude oil prices. He will carry
the case to Sterilization Director
Byrnes, Mr.. Ickes said, if Mr. Brown
still refuses.
AS for Mr. Browns suggestion that
the Government help finance the
drilling of wildcat oil wells rather
than grant the increase, Mr.. IckeS
said that subsidy could increase
production but that he was "un-
prepared to recommend it

from the continent today said
revolt was raging in Occupied
Holland and had spread like
Wildfire" across the border into
Belgium, where there was a Sc

Reverberations of the Allied vic

Accounts of sabotage. armed

Nazis Sending More Troops.
The reported trouble in Holland
conceded with the deadline for Hol-
lands 100000 ex-service men to
register for re-internment as pris-
oners OF war as precaution against
their aiding an Allied invasion of
Europe.
Only last night the Dutch govern
ment in exile urged the Dutch ex-
soldiers to rebel against the Ger
man order and defend themselves
against arrest.
There were indicatio in reports
reaching here that the Germans
were sending additional troops into
the Low Countries, but it was not
clear whether this was in anticipa-
ton OF an Allied invasion or to sup
press rebellion.
Belgian patriots were reported to
have stormed a military garage In
Ghent, killing IA guards and de-
mollshlng l l trucks with hand gren-

three trains on the MalineS- -Louvain

A RAk, . Bone and a Ration Card.

It's q male fetish to believe a
woman lives for her clothes. It's a
female delusion that she dresses only
to please man. The truth is some
where in between. Women can take
fashion or leave it, and need not
always dress exclusively for men or
the envious eyes of other women;
but even with the man absent from
the scene, nothing in the world will
give her the same lift as going out
and buying brand-new bonnet.
But you have to think before you
splurge these days. You can't dash
back from the train depot, after a
particularly teary good-by, and set
the world to rights with milliner's
CONNECTION. You may decide after
reflection that even though it doesn t
put the world back on its feet, you
want to buy the new bonnet anyway
But think you must. Because now,
as perhaps never before, you have a
new point of view on clothes that
goes outside pleasing man, woman or
your personal budget. 1t is some
thing you never had to consider
before. Conservation. Rationing
War Production Board rulings.
Looking ahead on every single thing
you buy. Weighing its value next
season and the season after.
Even with enough money to do so,
don't stock up. It's silly from style
point of view. If silk and nylon hose

pay will depend entirely on what
you can afford. But there are Ger

clothing under which it is foolish
to go.
For one thing, there are mini

even the clothes that are meant for
ohice and everyday wear, thinking
they will look pretty and new when

psychological.
If you find you haven't a suit and

Couldn't you get as much wear out

call suit? You can wear such a

under a winter coat. Usually it is
less expensive and not as uniform
looking as the regulation suit. And
while you can't spend less than S25
