dictments alleged fraud in mailing
Of certificates for storage that con-
tanned information as to insurance
on articles stored and through ad-
vertisements sent through the mails
purporting to tell of insurance pro-
lection on articles stored.
The indictment alleged that the
laundry advertised that clothing and
other articles should be stored and
insured against damage through loss
by FIRE, theft or moths, and led its
customers to believe "such articles
and clothing were fully insured
against such hazards for their rea-
sonable and declared value"
The indictment added that while
such chrages were collected from
the customers "for such purported
insurance" the defendants did not
at anytime carry more than 1000
of insurance on laundry articles and
did not prove any insurance on
clothing left for cleaning or storage.

Seriousness Cited.
Occupation of a defended point
by superior enemy powers cannot
always be prevented, but everything
must be done to make sure that this
enemy occupation is temporary.
Ashai, powerful Toxic newspaper,
was quoted as saying:
"A seerious attack against the
Marshall Islands had to be reck-
oned with since last November,
when the enemy began to show that
he was interested in this group of
isles. The enemy has continually
increased the number of bombers
sent against the mandate islands,
and later he announced parallel ac-
ton to the concentric attacks by
air against Rabaul. The Allied Of
fensive in the Central Pacific thus

Private Autos Banned

BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 2.-The full i'm
port of Washington's action in halt
ing oil shipments to Spain was
brought home to the Spanish peo-
pie today as all private automobiles
and motorcycles were ordered off
the streets at once to conserve fuel
Dispatches from Spain said the
order had been published in all
Spanish papers and had been broad
cast Gasoline supplies for taxis
also were reduced, and police began
halting all traffic.
Severe Restrictions.
The Madrid advices emphasized
that the gasoline restrictions were
the most severe Spain had ever
known, even during the period of
the civil war.
In issuing the travel ban, the
Spanish fuel commissioner said he
realized the sacrifice represented,
but urged the public to suffer it
with high spirit of patriotism"
Berlin broadcasts, meanwhile, dis
missed as "cloakroom news" a
Buenos Aires dispatch Monday quot
ing a Latin American diplomat as
saying that Spain would break rela-
tions with the Axis this week as the
result of Allied pressure.
Developments Expected.
Diplomatic circles here, however,
speculated that something might
possibly be in the wind This specula-
ton was intensified by the fact that
British Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden failed yesterday to make an
statement on the Spanish
in the House of Commons
a development that might indicate a
final decision of some sort still is
pending
There was no immediate explana-
ton from Madrid for the return
home of the Spanish Ambassadors to

Legion Commander
Scheduled 10 Testify
Today on Labor Draft

Warren Atherton, national COM
mander of the American Legion.
was scheduled to appear before the
Senate Military Affairs Committee
today in support of national service
legislation.
In radio address last night the
Legion chief hailed the labor draft
proposed by President Roosevelt as
the democratic way" toward full
war mobilization.
His views were sharply opposed on
the same broadcast by Represent
ative Short, Republican, of Missouri,
who labeled the proposed legislation
the last step toward totalitarian
government"
Observing that the President had
advocated such measures as means
of curbing strikes, Mr.. Short de-
clared the Chief Executive will not
even enforce" the AntiStrike Act.
What the country needs is not
more legislation but some honest-to-
God administration he added. If
strikes should be called off, the Pres
1dent can call them off. Simply be-
cause he has not done it, he now
comes forth with an entire and alb
surd proposition to conscript all
Americans"
Mr.. Atherton, on the other hand
argued that the civilian at home
has the same duty to serve the Ma
ton, N the job for which he is best
fitted, as the serviceman.
mo right thinking American can
possibly question the rightness or
fairness of this principle" he sale

fair share Of these obligations on the

Being Prepared for
News Of Losses
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Even before the Americans an
nounced successful landings in the
Marshall Islands, Japanese news.
papers were preparing their readers
for losses.
A Berlin broadcast yesterday said
japanese papers referred to large.
scale attacks on the islands ano
quoted the newspaper Mainichi as
saying an American victory "woulc
be regrettable loss for the Japa-
nese people"
The mere fact that the enemy Is
able to attack the Marshall Islands
must not be taken too lightly
Mainichi commented.
Communica tions Disrupted.
There was evidence that the pow
'er and fury of the American attack
had disrupted communications be-
tween the island garrisons and the
homeland. Another Toxic dispatch
broadcast by Berlin, recorded by the
Associated Press in New York, said
Admiral Shigetaro Shimada, Navy
minister. was questioned on the
Marshalls situation in the Diet and
replied:
News from the Marshall Islands
is reaching us only slowly. Com
munication with that region is not
the best. Therefore, I cannot add
anything to what has been pub
1shed yesterday"
(The Toxic radio Monday said
japanese Army and Navy units
had intercepted American attack
ing forces and fierce fighting was
in progressD ...
Mainichi. published in Osaka and
one of Japan's most influential
newspapers, compared the Marshalls
invasion to another great crisis in
Japan's history, the attempt of the
Mongol Emperor of China, Kublai
Khan, to invade the japanese home
land in 1881, At that time typhoon
which wrecked many of the in
vaders' ships helped the Japanese
repel the attack. Mainichi said:

rectly linked up with these man.

outer front line of the japanese
Empire. The fact that they are
$500 kilometers from Toxic makes

sacrifice

SPEECHES sportsmanship
I got wondering the other night,
after listening to a barrage of ra-
dio oratory, what presidential
campaign would be like if the
two leading candidates refused to
hurl invectives at one another and
insisted on applying good old
American craftsmanship to their
political speeches.
In practically all other competi-
tive contests except elections, the
American public insists on a 'You
first, my dear Alphonse" type of
behavior. We want our favorite
football team to win only if it
wins by good clean play, in tennis
or golf matches players insist on
giving their opponents every pos
.sible break, at prizefights we boo
the fighter who hits his opponent
while he's down, and even in bu-
siness we admire most the man
who is big enough to praise good
job done by his competitor.
But in politics Z. . we'll, let's see
what a couple of speeches by
presidential candidates might be
like if they were made according
to the etiquette of the sports
world
DEWEY report
First we'll picture a newspaper
report on a theoretical speech by
Sportsman Dewey, as follows:
"Denouncing the American pub
lie for it's lack of appreciation of
the winning job done by

lican candidate for the presidency,

Raleigh-"Postwar plans are
being made in an attempt to help
cushion the shock from diminish
ing Army, Navy and lend-lease
purchases in this State" declared
Randall B. Etheridge, head of the
N. c. Department of Agriculture's
division of Markets.
In preparing for the day when
the demand for cotton, tobacco,
poultry, hogs, and other farm
products has been reduced to such
an extent as to reduce prices and
production, the Markets division
is fully cognizant of the fact that
agricultural enterprise during the
past two years has been geared to
the war effort and that return
to normal" farming may be diff
ficult, according to Etheridge.
1.-THE groundwork has been laid
