RAILROAD RATES
 MAY BE REDUCED
Several States Claim COnl= pany Earnings Excessive
 and InflatiOnary

Washington, Jan. 2 - (U.Po - Railroads today faced the possibility of @ reduction in rates as the result of an Interstate Commerce Con- mission order which reopenS hear ings on the issue on February 2.
 Railroads were granted 10 per cent increases effective last Feb ruary 10 shortly after their em- ployes won wage increases amount ing to approximately $311. 1.71l,00O annually.
 Recently, the Office of Price Ad- ministration, the Office of Economic stabilization, the Agriculture Dc. partment and several states have protested that railroad earnings are excessive" and "infiationary," and have asked for a reduction.
 In preliminary reports issued by the ICC Bureau of Statistics, the net income shown by Class 1 rail- roads for the first nine months of l941 was $363 ,168, ,275, compared with $6O, ,713.743 for the same period of l940. For the first nine months of 1922 it was $571, ,971 ,991.
 The railroads asked denial of the petitions of OPA, OES and the Ag- riculture Department. saying "they (tae railroads) cannot keep them selves in condition to meet iinpera- tive national needs if, at the first sign of adequate earnings, their rates are to be cut forthwith, with out regard to low earnings of the past or prospects of the future"
 Current earnings, the railroads said. 'seen large only by contrast with the low level" during the de- pression.

GERMAN LOSSES.
 DOUBLE ALLIES
Damage Inflicted on Enemy Ships in North Africa Is
 Heavy Says StimsOn

Washington, Jan. 7-(UP)-Ger- man losses in aerial combat in North Africa have been almost dou- ble American losses, Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson said today.
 Damage inflicted on enemy ships and installations has been consid- erably heavier than the Allies have suffered, he added.
 Operations in Tunisia have been greatly hampered by rain, Stimson told press conference. Despite that handicap, he said, the British First Army scored gains in the north towards Bizerte, and the French ably fought of German at- tackS in the southern sector.
 Allied aerial activity against enc my shipping has been highly ef- fective. he said. Several cargo ships have been sunk or damaged and harbor installations have been badly crippled.
 Sand storms have interfered with land and air operations in Libya Stimson said.
 Stiinson interpreted the German position in Russia as precarious. "11 the Caucasus, a German withdrawal appears to have begun he said. He pointed out that Rus sian troops were threatening Ros- toy.
 American and Australian forces have virtually completed ejecting the Japanese from New Guinea. The fighting was bitter and few Japanese surrendered, but there were comparatively few Allied cas- ualties, he said. In the Solomons, American forces have been rein- forced and supplied and their posi- tions have been strengthened, he said. ,.
 "On all fronts," Stimson said, "the outlook is favorable. The Ger mans and Japanese, however, have suffered few major reverses, and we must not underestimate their offensive capability."

BY JOSEPH W. GRIGGS, JR. United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Jan. 7-(UP)-Mil- lions of customers took their last legal pleasure ride in automobiles today as partial closing of some theaters, restaurant, department stores and schools because of seri- ous fuel oil shortage appeared like ly in IT eastern states and the Dis trict of Columbia.
 Tn two moves to meet the eastern petroleum crisis, Price Administrator Leon Henderson:
 1. Outlawed-at least for the duration of the shortage-all pleas ure and non-essential driving.
 2. Slashed fuel oil rations for non residential buildings a further 25 per cent, bringing rations down to 45 per cent of normal consump- tionss .gy y7-,,
 The OPA expects to issue a de- tailed definition of pleasure driv- ing" and ''non-essential driving" to- day but, in general, after this noon it will be illegal to use private auto mobiles to travel to race tracks, athletic events, theaters, concerts, movies and for social visits.
 Drivers caught using their cars for such purposes are liable to have all their gasoline coupons confiscat- ed for the duration.
 OPA officials said the type of driving still permitted would in- clude: Driving to work when no other convenient means of trans portation is available; driving to the nearest shops to make necessary purchases; driving to church, school and the doctor; driving on essen- tial business if there is no other means of transportation.
 The new 25 per cent cut in fuel oil rations for non-residential build- ings, also effective today, was ex- pected by OPA officials to add more than 1,5Oo,O00 gallons, or about 36,- 900 barrels daily to amounts avail able for heating homes in the east. It followed an over-all-residential and non-residential-10 per cent re- auction in all fuel oil rations for the third period in eastern states an- nounced last weekend.
 Henderson warned that 1t ulti- mately may be necessary to cut

FIRE DESTROYS
 PACKING PLANT
$1OO,OOO Damage in TwO- Alarm Blaze Today in
 Lowell, Mass.

Lowell, Mass, Jan. 7.-(UP)-The Omaha Packing Go. plant, where 20 persons were injured in a fire and panic yesterday, was demolished by a general alarm fire early to- day and damage to the building and two adjoining structures was ex- pected to total at least $100,000.
 The second blaze came II hours after the original fire was controlled, and apparently started from smoul- dering debris.
 Fed by heavy grease on the third floor of the packing plant, flames roared through the fourth floor and mounted 50 feet in the air. The roof and walls collapsed during the fire but no one was hurt.
 Aid was summoned from Dracut, Billerica and Chelmsford and fire men fought the fire from two streets to prevent it spreading through the congested area.
 Fire walls saved adjoining build ings but the c. B. Coburn Co.,, a paint and hardware store, and the Wadsworth Rowland & Co.,, Inc, paint and wallpaper store. suffered heavy water and smoke damage.

RELIEF IN SIGHT
 ON MEAT PROBLEM

Washington, Jan. 2 - CUP) - Civilians were promised quick relief today from local shortages of meats butter and other foods.
 Food Administrator Claude A. Wickard began organizing local and state food committees to deal with shortages. which he said arose mainly from maldistribution.
 But Wickard and other food of1l- cials said there was little they could do to answer complaints by house. wives that restaurants and hotels are serving beefSteak while meat counters have no beef. Meat distri- butors may apportion their supplies among local customers as they wish they said, and public eating places always preferred customers probably are being favored by some distributors.
 The committees, composed of food industry representatives and food distribution administration officials will promptly investigate all reports of local shortages and relieve them by shipping in the nearest available supplies. They are expected to bC functioning within 10 days.
