Stress Dangers
Of Grass Fires
Fire Chief Appeals
for Every Precoution

Unusually dry ground and
grass conditions, encouraging to
serious grass fires, today
brought about warning to citi-
zens from Fire Chief c. Edward
Willeit, urging every precau-
ton against property damage.
Numerous fire department
runs lately have been occasion
ed by grass fires, Chief Willert
stated, and in many cases valu-
able property has been endan-
gered.
Particularly serious have been
fires in the Harrison Township
area, Seminole Hills and the
outlying parts of the city, the
fire chief points out. Not only
do these fires endanger proper
ty, but they oblige the firemen
TO take part of their equipment
a long way from valuable down.
town property, which might be
the scene of fire during their
absence. Equipment is always
available for city fires at the
fire hall, but downtown blaze
might require all available ap-
paratus and men,
Chief Willert urges property
owners to exercise unusual care
in burning rubbish, leaves and
grass, and suggests that man.
power and equipment to keep a
fire under control be available.
The chief asks that persons
planning to set a grass fire tele-
phone the fire department first
and discuss the matter-this
would prevent calls from excit-
ed neighbors even when the fire
is small and completely under
control.

Spain Faces
New Crisis on
Axis Ties
By FLORA LEWIS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2B-(P)
Spain faced today the neces-
sity of redefining her position
toward Germany and the Allies
as a result of American suspen-
sion of her main oil supplies.
Generalissimo Franc is C o
Frances government was forced
to confront the possibility of
profound crisis in SPANS entire
economy.
The United States, it was
learned on highest authority,
has stopped scheduled Febru-
airy oil shipments to Spain from
the Caribbean area, virtually
SPANS only source of supply.
Secretary of State Hull is ex-
pected to announce the move to-
day.
The limited amount Of oil
Spain has been getting from the
caribbean in her own ships is so
tightly calculated that expert
observers said the loss or delay
of even one tanker's cargo
would have extremely serious
results.
Seven to nine tankers were
said to be involved in. the orders
prohibiting planned shipments
next month.
The action was understood 10
be part of a general reeXamina-
ton of American policy toward
the key neutral.
For some time the United
States and Britain have made
representation to Spain on the
following requests:
l. Release of a number of
Italian vessels from interment in
Spanish ports.
2. Thorough going restric-
tons on activities of Nazi spies
and saboteurs, especially on
Spanish territory near Gibral-
tar.
3. Reduction Of Spanish ex
ports of vital war materials to
Germany.
The American action came at
an especially delicate time for
Spain, already deeply impressed
qby Argentina S severance Of re-
lations with the Axis.
The combined material effect
Of the United States move and
the psychological effect Of Ar
gentina's abandonment of neu-
trality we're expected to force a
decision in Spain as to her posi-
ton during the remainder Of the
war.
Immediate reason for the
drastic United States action
against the Achilles heel of
SPANS entire economy was
said to be conclusion recently
of a German-Spanish financial
agreement.
In settlement Of debts incur
red during her Civil War. Spain
agreed to make 400,000,000 pc
setas (about $40, 000,000) credit
available to Germany.

Charles H. Ogle In Tinian
Invasion
According to a release from
the U. S. Coast Guard office at
Washington, d. c., CHM Charles
H. Ogle of Route 2, Pascagoula,
Is of the opinion that the attack
on Tinian Island was as neat an
exhibition of pinning Tojo's ears
back as we ever hope to see"
Ogle, who was aboard an LIST
assault vessel during this air,
sea and land engagement, went
on.
The teamwork was perfect.
We rocked 'em back on their
heels with a good assortment of
broadsides from our battlewag-
ons and cruisers. While they
were trying to shake those off,
the bombers began their shuttle
trips to wallop the dayiights out
OF them.
by the time we opened the
bow doors and turned the amphi-
bious tractors loose" Ogle went
on, "the only resistance they had
left on the beach was light ma
chine gun and scattered rifle
fire"

anese forces is greeted with IN
concealed approval by members

Mr.. Paris violated the Hatch Act
the commission said, by serving as

ment makes highway grants to

The Hatch Act provides that il
Oklahoma should retain Mr.. Paris

Mr.. Paris said at Tulsa, Okla, last
night he would appeal from the rul-
ing. He explained he had not known
it was violation of the act to hold
the highway commissioners post
and serve as Democratic chairman
at the same time. He was named to
