.Tydings Sees Defeat
OF All Enemies in 1914
BY the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated fTeSs.
BALTIMORE, Aug. 9-Asserting
that there Is real hope that bv the
end of 1914 the three Axis nations
will be completely defeated" Senator
Tydings. Democrat, of Maryland,
called on Americans yesterday for
unlimited and unrelenting support
of our total war effort"
Senator Tydings predicted in a
radio address that the end of the
war would come when large num-
ber of the German people realize
that further resistance is futile and
that they cannot stave off ultimate
defeat.
ALREADY the Italian debacle, the
fall of MusSolini, the Russian VIC
tories and the continual lombard
ment of German cities" Senator
Tydings continued must force
many Germans to reach the con-
clusion that defeat is only matter
of time.
In view of all these facts, many
people are predicting the end of the
war in Europe by Christmas. Such
quick end is only possible if Allied
pressure and attacks continually in
crease so that the real plight of the
Axis is visible to every person in
Europe. Once that consciousness of
ultimate Axis defeat sinks in, there
will be a decentralization and a dis
integration of the whole Axis war
effort in Europe.
Peace may come more quickly
than We thought possible six months
ago. Much depends on the morale
of the German people themselves
morale which those in our fighting
forces as we'll AS those at home can
help to shape by unlimited and un-
relenting support of our total war
effort"

Mother Keeps Christmas Tree
For Sons Return From War

Weeks later they heard from him
Tor the first time, writing from a
base in Africa.
Practically the same thing had
happened to Mrs. Scheufele in the
World War, Her eldest son, Alan,
had gone off to France and she had
kept the family Christmas tree
standing until he returned in July,
1919.
She resolved to do the same thing
again, and through hot August days
the gaily bedecked pine tree, its
branches dry and brittle, still stands
in a corner Of the living room. 1t
Will be there when Albert returns.
Mrs. Scheufele knows she is doing
the right thing, for not a needle has
fallen from the tree.
1T does seem funny" she says.
We've had tree like this every
year, and they usually start to shed
needles a week or two after Christ
mas. But this ones been up for
eight months-and look at it. 1t
does seem as II it's waiting for AL"

Army Bars Beaches
AT Night at Two
Popular Resorts
Restrictions Effective
Today at Ocean City
And Virginia Beach

Virginia Beach, Va, and Ocean
City. Md, favorite resorts of thou
sands of Washingtonians, today
were named restricted zones, and all
persons, except military personnel
on duty, will be barred from the
beaches of these resorts during the
hours of darkness.
This was part of Proclamation No.
5 issued by 1t. Gen. Hugh Drum.
commander OF the Eastern Defense
Command and the 1st Army. 1t
also includes additional restrictions
on the use of cameras at ocean
beaches and elsewhere.
Effective Today.
The principal points of the new
proclamation, effective today, fol-
low:
Cameras: No person outside the
armed forces of the United States
engaged in official duties shall, with
out authorization of military au-
thorities, use camera in any fight.
Photographs, sketches and draw
lngs: No person outside the armed
forces engaged in official duties
shall, without authorization of mill
tary authorities, make any photo
graph or sketch in an area set aside
as prohibited or restricted zone.
A spokesman said this regulati ton
would prohibit individuals either in
side or outside restricted zone.
such as beach. or prohibited
zone, from photographing objects
within the zone.
Previous restrictions prohibited
the possession of cameras by any
person within a prohibited zone and
the use of cameras by any persons
in restricted zone
Controls Lighting.
Lighting: The effect of the re-
Striction is to fix uniform reSpon-
slbllitles for the control of lighting
with respect to compliance with the
dimout regulations in the dimout
zone. These responsibilities are
similar to those previously imposed
concerning unattended and other
lighting during periods of blackouts
and air raids. Accordingly, persons
who leave lights unattended will not
be able to escape responsibility for
dlmout violations
The proclamation declared also
that no person prohibited from en-
tering or remaining in the Eastern
military area "by any military COM
mander of any area shall enter. re-
main in or be found in the Eastern
military area.
1t was explained that defense
commanders are authorized to eX-
clude persons from areas other than
their own, and the effect of the
proclamation is that Gen. Drum
adopts individual exclusion orders
of other defense commanders as
his own insofar as they apply to
persons ordered excluded from the
Eastern military area.

SoapHoarding
Forces Stores
To Limit Sales
Supply Is Expected
To Return to Normal
Here in 80 Doys

Consumer boarding has caused a
shortage of soap and soap powder
here, with the result that many re-
tailers are limiting the amount any
one customer may purchase, a sur
vey OF representative stores in the
District area disclosed today.
The survey failed to reveal a store
that has been completely out of all
soaps at any one time. Dealers said,
however. that many of the best
known brands have been difficult to
obtain for the last several weeks.
The shortage of powdered, Clipped
and granulated soaps has been pro-
nounced, the survey revealed.
1t was predicted. however, that
the supply here soon will be back
to normal. One dealer, emphasizing
that there Is no cause for consumer
alarm, estimated that the shortage
will be alleviated within 80 days.
Supplies have been extremely short,
but more soap is being received here
now than at any time In the past
two months and shipments are in
creasing, this dealer said.
Hoarding Major Factor.
Hoarding of soap by jittery house,
wives has been a major factor in
causing the present shortage and
must be combated, most Of the re-
tailers agreed A rumor that soap
would be rationed, though denied by
the Office of Price Administration,
has led many housewives to buy
four to five boxes of soap where they
would otherwise have bought only
one or two, 1t was said.
In an effort to halt the boarding
and divide the available supply
fairly, many independent stores and
at least one major grocery chain
reported they are limiting customers
to the purchase of one box of pow
dered, granulated or flake soap at
one time. In the case of bar soap,
three to four cakes are usually al
lowed each customer.
Improvement Noted.
The disclosure that soap has be-
come relatively scarce here followed
an announcement from the Agri-
culture Department that Americans
have been buying about 10 per cent
more soap this year than is being
manufactured under Government
restrictions.
This factor and excessive pur-
chases by hoarders have caused
soap shortages in areas where excess
stocks built up in previous years
have been depleted, the Agriculture
Department said.
The department added, however,
that some improvement in supply
throughout the Nation is now being
noticed, because of the release to
the soap industry of some Gov
ernment stocks of cocoanut and
palm oils.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 9.-Whenever
Pvt. Albert J. Scheufele comes home
next week, next month or next
year-it will be Christmas.
A Christmas tree laden with red
and yellow ornaments and dripping
tinsel will be waiting for him. His
own single-Starred service flag will
be suspended possessively from one
of its branches.
Mrs. Scheufele will cook a bounti-
full holiday dinner and call in the
relatives. There will be gifts and
singing and laughter, just like the
real December Is.
That was the way it was sup
posed to have been at a belated
celebration this year
Albert wrote that he expected a
48-hour pass one week end in Janu-
ary and would be home from camp.
His mother kept the Christmas tree
at its place in the parlor and pre-
pared turkey dinner. But Albert
didn't come.

Ice Shortage

said there is no hope for relief until
the weather cools.
Yesterday customers thronged ice

A near-riot occurred at Twelfth

making 5000 sales in four hours.
Eight hundred persons still we're
standing in line when the ice supply
became exhausted. Police went into
action to quell the disorder.
Second Station Closed.
Another mob of disappointed ice
seekers besieged the substation at
Nineteenth and M streets NV,
when it closed for lack of ice at
1890 am.
Today. for the third consecutive
day, the Washington Ice Co. failed
10 supply ice to its $500 regular Gus
toners. The company, which buys
it's ice wholesale from the manu-
featuring plant of Uline Ice, Inc,
has been able to get only about 35
to 40 per cent of the amount needed,
A. E. Dellastatious, manager OF the
company, said.
This ice. he added, has been
needed to supply the Washington
Navy Yard and Sibley Hospital, so
the company has suspended retail
deliveries.
Mr.. Dellastatious said he had re-
ceived complaints from hundreds of
housewives, who reported that food
was spelling in their iceboxes for
lack of refrigeration.
Weather Increases Shortage.
A. C. Romhilt, manager of the
American Ice Co., which produces
so to IS per cent of all the ice sold
here, said the shortage had grown
slightly more critical in the last
few days, due to the continuing hot
weather.
Mr.. Romhnt said the ice now be-
Ing shipped in from out of town
amounts to only a teacup in a
barrel" Only one or two carloads
about 30 tons-are being received
in week, he said, while the Short
age of ice here amounts to 500 to
800 tons a day.
Cities from which Washington
normally imports ice are experience
ing severe shortages also. Mr.. Rom
hilt pointed out, and the only out
side sources of supply now are out
of-the-wav towns, where small re-
serve stocks of natural ice in some
cases can be found. The few car
loads received here recently came
from the vicinity of Wilkes Barre
and Scranton, Pa.
Customers Rationed.
With the out-of-town supply vir-
tually dried up, Washington con-
sumers are now dependent on local
manufacturing facilities, which can
produce only about so per cent of
the ice needed, Mr.. Romhilt said.
He added that the American Ice
Co. still is rationing ice to customers
at so per cent of the amount previ-
ously purchased. Downtown COM
mercial establishments, to which the
company sells direct, are receiving
no larger allotments than are the
retail distributors, who deliver ice
to the homes.
The Uline Ice Co.. however, has
said that the downtown commercial
Adjustments which buy directly
from Uline are receiving 80 per cent
of their former amounts. Retail
dealers who buy ice from Uline
for resale to home consumers are
being rationed on a so per cent
basis

Draft Boards
Being Po||ed on
Available Men
Reports Will Decide
Dute of Induction
Of Prewur Fathers
BY MIRIAM OTTENBERG.

Selective service headquarters now
is polling draft boards to find out
how many available single and child
less married men are left through
out the country.
They will match that information
against the October calls of the
armed forces-not yet received-to
find out if they have enough men to
fill October calls without drafting
prewar fathers.
Until they get those two sets OF
f1gures-the ones from the draft
boards and the ones from the armed
forces-neither Selective Service Di-
rector Hershey nor War Manpower
Chairman McNutt can predict what
day the first prewar fathers will 60
into uniform.
Estimates Changed Little.
Only the military knows how many
men it will need for the rest of the
year Despite military successes
and fewer casualties than expected,
however, calls of the armed forces
have veered little from estimates
presented to the War Manpower
Commission at the beginning of the
year.
The Army has told VINO that
there were certain "imponderables
that would have to be taken into
consideration, but so far these i'm
ponderables' haven't made much
difference in draft calls-either to
increase or reduce them.
The requirements of the armed
forces usually are presented to
selective service two months in ad-
vance. BY the middle of this
month, therefore, selective service
officials will know what the armed
forces want them to procure.
Await Draft Board Reports.
Reports from the draft boards will
clear up the second unknown
whether or not there are enough
single and childless married men to
fill the October call.
Recently, selective service
spokesman reported there were
enough single and childless married
men to fill calls through September.
There may be some left over. How
many. nobody knows. That de-
pends on how many of the men
figured as available will pass the
physical examinations, how many
will take appeals, how many will be
granted temporary stays of induc-
ton, how many will wind up with
occupational deferments.
1t has been indicated already that
the division Of single and childless
married men throughout the States
Is uneven. A survey last week showed
that some States figured they would
not have to take fathers until De-
cember, If calls continued at the
same level. Other States said they
had already reached the bottom of
the barrel"
Readjustment Promised.
Selective service has now promised
to readjust the calls on the basis of
these new figures. The States that
figured they could hold out till De-
cember will get heavier calls. The
bottom of the barrel" States will
get light calls.
That means that fathers will be
called earlier in the States that
thought they could hold out and
later in the States that had ex-
hausted their pools, but the call will
be simultaneous in all States.
Whether the leveling out process
will prevent the drafting of fathers
in October-or delay 1t even two
weeks-is a question that neither
Gen. Hershey nor Mr.. McNutt can
answer till they see what the armed
forces say they must have.
