 Miss Alice L. Hewlett, 87, and hel sister, Mary, 93, were found dead yesterday, huddled on the floor oi their kitchen near a lighted gas oven. Autopsies will be performed today.
 With untold thousands threat ened with possible evacuation from their homes, Catholic Bishop James E. Cassidy of Fall River appealed to Mayor Alexander c. Murray to Storm the doors of national and state authorities in ceaseless ef- fort to avert-this disaster.
 Should this calamity come upon us," he said, you and know that (the sufferers) would not be the well-to-do, it will not be the mid de class; it will be those who. ii not properly classed as poor, are oi scanty means"
 Cities where preparations fol evacuation have been made include Boston. Cambridge, Lowell. Spring field and Fall River, Providence an6 Pawtucket, R. I.
 Authorities continued pressing their plea for large and small con- sumers to convert to coal heat, but that solution seemed headed fol trouble in Maine.
 Henry F. Merrill, chairman oi Maine's anthracite and bituminous coal committee, said the Portland area faces 8 serious and acute coal situation within three or four months. The demand for coal, he said, was unprecedented and the outlook discouraging.

 MT. Roosevelt did not. however, present the detailed and expanded social security program which some observers had expected. Congres- sional leaders had urged him to foreg0 presentation at this time of the cradle-to-grave insurance pro- lection program covering health and old age which he was understood to have prepared.
 They feared such a proposal would precipitate knock down con- gressional fight which would be un- desirable in the m:Cst of the war ef- fort.
 Roosevelt Optimistic
 MT. Roosevelt, while the tons of his speech was definitely optimistic as far as war progress in 1943 was conc crned, declined to predict when the ", " would end but he did ex- press the belief that the year would "give the United Nations a very substantial advance along the roads that lead to Berlin and Rome and Tokyo"
 T can tell you it is within the realm of possibility that this 78th congress may have the historic priv ilege of helping greatly to save the world from future fear" he said. "A tremendous, costly, long-enduring task in peace as well as war is still ahead of us.'
 No force, no combination of forces, no trickery, deceit or vio- lence, the President said, could stop the people in their forward move ment toward "a decent, secure, peaceful life for all men every where"
 Explaining the "dislocations inconveniences and hardshipS' in this country necessitated by the war, the President said that put ting the nation on a war footing could not have been done without "burdensome government regulations which are nuisance to everyone. ,
 Admitting that there had beer inevitable mistakes" MT. Roose- welt reaffirmed his determination "tc see to it that our supplies of food and other essential civilian goods are distributed on fair and just basis"
 "Our experience" he said, twill enable us during the coming year to improve the necessary mechan. isms of wartime economic control: and to simplify administrative pro- cedures. But we do not intend to leave things so lax that loophole; will be left for chesters, for chisel. CTS, or for the manipulators of the black market"
 Declaring his thankfulness that there are only a few Americans who place appetite above patriot ism" MT. Roosevelt said there would be many more hardships before the war is won and that in our common labors i've must build and fortify the very foundation of nationa. unity-confidence in one another
 The President vigorously defend ed Congress and the administration from charges of general incom- petence."

 the success. Fighter planes and hurricane bombers supported ad- vancing ground forces, and blasted enemy troops and vehicles. Spit fires shot down three Focke-W -Wulf 1905, among Germany's best fight ing planes, over the battlefield, and later destroyed an enemy bomber and fourth fighter. The Allies lost one plane.
 It was the most successful thrust and the biggest engagement of sev- eral weeks of jockeying for position, preparatory to the final Allied drive to push the Axis forces in North Africa into the sea.
 Sharp skirmishes also were going on in the mountain passes of East ern Tunisia, where the Axis was trying to strengthen its weak com- munications lines between Tunisia and Tripolitania.
 United Press dispatches from the front said Allied patrols frequently slipped through Axis lines at night and went all the way to the Tuni- sian East Coast.
 Flying fortresses and fighters heaped destruction on these tenuous communications lines day and night. Allied North African head quarters reported yesterday that fortresses had bombed the harbor of Sfax again, and left many large fires burning. The airfield at Kair- ouan, southwest of Sousse, was bombed by two motored marauders. One American plane was missing, perhaps one of the P-38 fighters that accompanied the bombers.
 Generally, mud and rain still held up major land fighting in Tunisia, because the Allies were unable to use their tanks.
 The fighting French forces, driv- ing up from the Lake Chad region, announced that they had taken an important position in the South Libyan Desert, put counter attack ing motorized units to flight, and resumed their advance to the north.
 Fighting French sources in Lon- don revealed that "Brigadier Gen. eral Jacques Leclerc" was the nom de guerre rather than the actual name of the commander of these forces. Wounded before France fell, he escaped from the Germans oy posing as servant, borrowed Nazi bicycle and rode to the coast, whence he managed to get to Bri- tain.
 He was sent to the Cameroons to organize resistance and General Charles De Gaulle made him conn., mander in the Lake Chad district. A fighting French spokesman said he had told De Gaulle. T am going

 Germany is expecting a Russian offensive on the Black Sea coast oi the North Caucasus at any hour neutral sources in Stockholm re- ported today, and a Berlin radio re- port said that fighting had already broken out in the Tuapse-Novoros- sisk area of the coast.
 InformantS, quoted in a United Press Stockholm dispatch, said that 1t was believed the Russians would attack in a combined land, sea and air operation, using their powerful Black Sea fleet.
 Stockholm said the German posi- tion was even more dangerous in the coastal area than in the eastern area of the Caucasus because of the fleet. Radio Rome admitted that "to avoid serious losses" the German high command had ordered evacu- ation of number of advanced" po- sitionS both in the Caucasus and in the middle Don area.
 A Daily Express Stockholm dis patch quoted rumors that some Ru- manian, Hungarian and Slovak troops in the Caucasus had mutin- fed, putting down their arms and refusing to fight on.
 This dispatch reported that the Ti1utineerS had shot some officers, and that many men had been exe- cuted.
 It was said that the reported mu- tiny had started because the troops vera poorly fed. demoralized by dee feats and bed weather, and fearful that they would bt cut etf by tiie Rursiana

 They are an inspiring cross-sec- tion of young America, National Guardsmen and selectees. Most of their officers are reservists. One lieutenant, a veteran of the Spanish Civil War, was a Communist Party organizer few months ago. was here for the kill. to watch the Americans clean up the Buna situation after six weeks of tough fighting in which they and the Aus tralians all but ended organized Japanese resistance in the Papuan area of New Guinea.
 The Japanese rifles and machine guns were still cracking when from the western side I crossed a bridge into the station, the peace time ad- ministrative center for Papua.
 never have seen such destruc- tion, and I covered the Bataan and Corregidor campaigns in the Philip pines. I have not even seen such destruction depicted in war photo graphs.
 Every building in the entire area is in ruins. Some have collapsed, others are still smouldering.
 The battle for this government station, the peace time administra- tive center for Papuan New Guinea, really opened at 2 a. m. yesterday.
 Then about 20 Japanese, desper- ate, tried to break through the American lines. They chose a nar- row sand pit at the west side of the Station which a small force of Americans had been holding for four days,
 The men in the forward outposts let the Japanese sift past them. They swung around a machine gun and, at the right moment, let the Japanese have 1t. Nearly every one was killed.
 When the Americans started their final attack, Australian troops on the east attacked Japanese holding positions near Gairopa Point. The Australians cleaned out their sec- tor and began closing in toward the government station.
 AS the attack advanced, the Americans had to fire carefully to avoid hitting the Australians, and early in the afternoon the mortars got the cease fire order because the remaining Japarese were pinned in- to such small area that the shells might have struck the Americans.
 At about this time scores of Jep- anese started trying to swim to safety up the coast. Others left by raft.
 spent an hour watching our ma chine gunners and infantrymen from the Buna village area pepper ing away at the rafts and potting the swimmers.
 Curtiss P-40 warhawk fighters went again and again over the wa ter, machine gunning the swimming and raft-paddling enemy troops.
 Mortar shells were exploding in the Government area, throwing up clouds of dust. Occasionally a build- ing in tkIs area burst into flames.
 Then I hiked and waded creeks and struggled through ankle-deep mud to the shoreline between the Government area and Gairopa Point, where the Americans were att tacking from two directions.

supplies for non-residential build- ings even further.
 He emphasized that the fuel oil and gasoline problems were closely allied and OPA's major problem was to keep a proper balance between available supplies of both.
 Were we to tax our transporta- tion facilities to the limit to sup ply gasoline" he said, it would be done at the expense of Sorely needed fuel oil for home heating and to keep the fires of war produc- tion burning in the. east.
 "On the other hand, were we to tax those same facilities to the ut most to supply only fuel oil, our transportation system-private cars carrying war workers and doing other necessary jobs, our busseS and trucks-would break down quickly and destroy the war machine we are building.
 There is @ balance necessary between these supplies which com- pete for carrier movement we must have both and we are not getting enough of either. That is why cuts and continuous tightening of the rationing mechanism across the board generally is absolutely necessary"
 The fuel oil measure affected all non-residential buildings in the area including theatersr and other places of amusement, department stores, office buildings, factories, barber shops, markets, beauty parlors, gar- ages, restaurants, schools, colleges, museums, churches and govern ment buildings.
 Officials forecast that many of these types of buildings may be com- pelled to shorten hours or even close several days week to operate with in their reduced rations. Auxiliary rations may be obtained by war plants whose production requires maintenance of certain tempera- lures above that possible with cur- tailed oil rations.
 Hotels, aSylumS, old folks homes and prisons will be exempt from the restrictions-they are classed as res- idential.
 The present measure affected per- iod three ration coupons which are valid approximately until the end of January. The fourth and fifth period coupons also will be reduced to 50 per cent of normal. The ex- act effect on them in gallons can- not, however, yet be computed as no specific gallonage value yet has been assigned to them.
 Beginning at noon today, police will start check-ups on cars appar- ently being used for plseaure pur- poSes-for instance, cars found parked outside racetracks and the aters.
 The OPA said such obvious misuse as gasoline might result in Immedi- ate seizure of the drivers gasoline book. Books so impounde6 will be forwarded to rationing boards for such action as may be required. The penalty may be permanent conf1sca- tion of the book or reduction of the number of coupons.
 OPA officials said particularly sharp penalties will be imposed on holders of B" and e" books found misusing them.'
 Even more drastic measures are being drafted to be ready for imme- diate ilSe if the present crisis be- comes more acute. it was said.

 He cited tlfe production record as disproving certain misconceptions -aespecially the one that holds the various blocs or groups within a free country cannot forego tnen political and economic differences in time of crisis and work together toward a common goal"
 Emphasizing the need for proper sense of proportion" in viewing the war and its needs, MT. Roosevelt said i've should never forget the things we are fighting for"

 ''They expect the opportunity tc work, to run their farms, their stores, to earn decent wages" he said. They are eager to face the risks inherent in our system of free enterprise"
 MT. Roosevelt said he hoped the problem of granting "the right oi employment and the right of as- surance against lifes hazards would not be regarded "aS an issue but rather as a task" for all to approach ''sympathetically' and achievt with fairness to all and with in justice to none."
 TlsN President said that "thi' great government can and mus provide" assurance desired by oul young men and women against tht evils of all major economic hazard: assurance that will extend iron the cradle to the grave"
