More Gas Is Sought
For East 10 Prevent
Threat Of New Crisis
Additional $4,000 Barrel.
A Day Asked; Senators
Offer ll-Point Plan
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

Declaring that the current al
lotment of gasoline is insufficient
to meet essential transportation
needs in the East, rationing of
f1cials have asked the Petroleum
Requirements Committee for an
additional $4,000 barrels of motor
fuel a day to prevent new crisis.
The request was made formally by
the Office of Defense Transporta-
ton as the claimant for all highway
gasoline uses. The committee is ex-
pected to present the appeal to the
Petroleum Administration for War.
Should unfavorable action be re-
ceived from PAW. an OPA official
said the issue will be taken to Chair
man Nelson of the War Production
Board, as the first test of the new
procedure outlined by Mr.. Nelson
for handling the tangled oil ration
ing and supply problem.
A special Senate committee, mean
while, recommended Capitalization
of all authority over petroleum
products in Petroleum Administrator
Ickes. and that restrictions in the
Midwest be frightened so that more
petroleum could be moved East. The
group, headed by Senator Maloney,
Democrat, of Connecticut, said the
prospect for relief from shortage in
the East was not good. and made II
specific suggestions as to how the
situation might be improved. Mr..
Nelson denied PAWS request for
full rationing authority only Friday.
Crude Oil Price Raise Urged.
A recommendation for greater
powers for Mr.. Ickes also came from
the House Interstate Commerce SUBJ
committee. The group, headed by
Representative Lea, Democrat, of
California, urged, too, an increase
in the price of crude oil. 1t noted
that Mr.. Ickes recommended an in
crease of IS cents a barrel, but was
turned down by the OPA.
The Senate Committee suggested
either higher prices for crude or
premium payments for production

RIO DE JANEIRO, July s.
Gen. Henri Giraud has passed
through Natal en- route to the
United States, an o Globo dis
patch from there said tonight.
The co-president of the French
Committee of National Liberation
is on his way to visit Washington
in response to an invitation from
President Roosevelt.
Natal is an air base on the South
Atlantic route between the United
States and Africa.
While there was no official word
as to such a plan, it is possible
that Gen. Giraud may take the
opportunity either on his way to
Washington or later to stop at
Martinique, big French island in
the Caribbean.
Until lately, Martinique has held
aloof from the United Nations but
the Navy announced yesterday that
Vice Admiral John Howard Hoover
would confer with Admiral Georges
Robert, high commissioner of the
colony, on its status.
The French Committee of Ma
tional Liberation in Algiers, noting
what it called "a more hopeful
tone" in recent statements by Ad-
miral Robert, decided to send a
delegate there in an effort to bring
its people over to the United French

Senators Decide
On SIS Million
For Subsidies
Toft Plan Accepted
At Meeting Attended
By High Officials
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Authority for payment of up to
$525 100000 in subsidies between
now and January I was recon-
mended yesterday by the Senate
Banking Committee after. a
three-hour closed session with
War Mobilization Director Byrnes
and other high administration
officials.
The authority would be extended
and limited to that sum-by an
amendment to House-approved
resolution renewing the life of the
Commodity Credit Corp. For six
months and increasing its borrow
ing power from s2,650, 900 900 to s3,-
OOo, ,OOc 900.
The House approved the CCC ex-
tender Friday, after sustaining
President Roosevelt's veto of an
earlier measure which would have
placed drastic ban on subsidy pay
ments intended to roll back the
price Of food.
Mr.. Roosevelt denounced that
measure as an imitation BILL" which
would affect consumers and farm
ers alike.
Taft Sponsors Amendment.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio,
sponsor of the amendment limiting
subsidy payments for the balance
of the year to the s525 900, 900 total,
pointed out that the language Of
the proposal did not restrict roll
back payments which have been
made to professors under the ad-
ministration's subsidy plan reduc-
ing butter and meat prices.
Apparently confident of its ap-
proval when called up in the Senate
tomorrow. Senator Taft said he felt
sure it satisfied Price Administrator
Brown and Secretary of Commerce
Jones. both of whom attended the
meeting. Mr.. Jones was there to
represent the Reconstruction FL
nance Corp.
The Taft amendment won COM
mittee approval by a vote OF 7 to 4,
after defeat Of much more restric-
tive proposal by Senators OMa-
honey, Democrat, of wyoming, and
Butler. Republican, Of Nebraska.
The OMahoney Butler amendment
would have set limit of SITS, ,o00, 900
on food subsidies and stipulated that
they could be paid only to producers,
no. merchants or middlemen.
Mr.. Byrnes. Mr.. Brown and Mr.
Jones smilingly brushed aside most
of the questions Of reporters as they
emerged from the committee room,
though Mr. Brown disclosed that he
had recommended enactment of the
simple House resolution extending
the life of CCC and containing no
restriction on the subsidy payments.
Other sources said Mr.. Jones gave
assurances that subsidies would be
held to the lowest practicable fig-
ure, but a majority of the COM
mittee wanted to write definite
limit into the law.
The Taft amendment authorizes
the RFC to borrow up to $780,
100000, and the CCC to borrow up
to $l75,000, 900, Ito pay subsidies or
purchase commodities for the pur-
pose of selling them at a loss, in

Washington prepared to cele-
brate independence Day today,
with thousands of citizens away
for the week end, despite travel
restrictions, and thousands of
servicemen in town on leave.
With pleasure driving banned,
both Union Station and the Grey
hound Bus Terminal reported ex-
tremely heavy traffic Extra trains
were added to handle the holiday
crowds.
The stationmaster's ONCE said
that the trafic probably was the
heaviest of the year. Omcials at
the station reported the heaviest
advance reservation and ticket sales
for July in several years.
Bus Lines damned.
At the Greyhound terminal. the
dispatcher's office, too rushed to
count the number of extra buses
said the line was running all of the
additional buses it could. Bus
mileage has been cut as a wartime
measure.
Although advance sales of rail-
road tickets indicated that most OF
the trafiic was to Baltimore. Phila-
delphia and New York, the dis
patcher at the bus terminal said
they had plenty" of traffic in all
directions

Thousands faced the prospect OF
being stranded in upstate New York

the return rush starts, the ODT
said.
The Long Island Railroad said
trafiic was by far the biggest in the
company's history and doubled that
of the Memorial Day week end. The
New York Central and the Pennsyl-
vania Railroads also estimated the
rush would exceed any previous
holiday period.
ODT Advice Unheeded.
The office Of William Curran, d.
rector of the ODT rail division, sum-
med it up this way:
''All indications are that too many
people are using the trains over the
holiday. People are not needing
the advice of Joseph B. Eastman
ODT director, to avoid travelling
wherever possible"
BY contrast, eastern highways
which on other holidays carried
endless lines of bumper-to- bumper
traffic, were virtually deserted. The

in the coal situation yesterday.
Secretary Ickes reported produc-
tion in the first half of this year

period in 1912. President RooSe-
welt recommended extension of
the Guffey Bituminous Coal Act.
Operators protested Secretary

setup for supervision OF the
mines.
Mr.. Ickes attributed the decrease
in production to strikes.
He estimated that the Nation will
need 25,000 900 tons more coal. this
year than last, and described the
job of making up the loss as diff
cult"
Mr.. 1ckes estimated that $780,
358, 900 tons of bituminous coal had
been produced in 1943. as of June
rs, compared with 281 ,966, 900 tons
during the SAME period of 1912.
Anthracite production was estimated
at 2s.ll2,0oo tons, compared with

With operations in most of the

duction in the week ended June

totaled 284,000 tons, compared with
