NON C-I SHOES
 MAY BE BOUGHT
Gifts for Men, Women in Service Obtainable Un.
 der OPA Rules

American-made shoes, not of the CT variety, now hold a place high up on the list of requests from serv- lee men and women overseas, State OPA Director Anthony r, Arpaio revealed today in the course of eX- blaming how relatives or friends may meet these requests without spending their own ration stamps
 "Every day the parent of some soldier or sailor asks one of our War Price and Rationing Boards for @ special shoe stamp in order to buy Johnny & pair of dress shoes," the oPA chief said. Lately, with over- seas Christmas mailings on the rose, the demand Is growing, and I think word about the proper procedure to follow in these cases is needed"
 The only thing needed, aside from money, to buy pair of shoes for a service man of woman outside the country, Arpaia said, Is letter from that individual asking that the shoes be sent,
 Boards are not empowered to is- sue shoes In these cases, he pointed out.
 "The letter takes the place of Q ration stamp" he added, It should be presented to the retailer from whom the shoes are bought and he turn, will show 1t to the post office from which he ships the shoes,
 The post office will return the let ter to the retailer with an export receipt that can be used at the State OPA for obtaining ration cur- rency reimbursement. The letter of course, need not be kept by the retailer but may be returned to the addressee, Arpaia said.

|159 Grade One Tires
Allowed in DC. Quota
|0f2,323 for Month

Washington motorists will have
an additional 159 grade l tires
available during February-a total
OF 1898 tires as compared with
2,164 in January-but because of
new eligibility regulations, the new
quota is proportionately smaller,
Charles K. Davies, District OPA
rationing executive, reported today
The local OPA also was allocated
1879 grade tires and 1,704 tubes
as compared with the January quota
Of l,795 grade 3 tires and 1,739
tubes.
Mr.. Davies stressed that the sole
test of eligibility, under new regu-
lations announced Saturday by the
national OPA, will be the essen
TALLY Of transportation and the
local boards will determine the de-
gree of essentially.
Operating on lower quotas, a
board will be within its rights in
delaying action on any application
until the board is satisfied that its
approval will not deprive more es-
sential applicants of certificates, he
said.
A driver may require his auto
mobile for transportation in con-
nection with an essential activity
and be eligible for a supplemental
gasoline ration Of 200 miles per
month. Mr.. Davies said. At the
same time, another driver may be
eligible for the B gasoline ceiling
Of 325 miles per month, but be en-
gagged in nonessential transportation
In such a case, the 200 -miles-per-
month driver could be eligible for
grade ! tires and the 325-miles- per-
month driver eligible only for grade
3 tires.
The great bulk of B book holders
still will be eligible for grade tires
Some c book holders driving less
than 601 miles per month, who
previously were ineligible, now will
be eligible for grade / tires, he ex-
planned.

|Kuri|es Can't Be Used
To Bomb Japan, Says
Navy Weather Expert
BY WILLIAM J. wHEATLEY.

Comdr R. H. Hutchinson says the
Kurile Islands, which extend in a
700-mile arc from the japanese
homeland to the Russian peninsula
OF Kamchatka, can never be used
for consistent bombing of the indus
trial areas of Japan from the north.
Comdr. Hutchinson, writing on
the weather problems of the North
ern Pacific in the current issue Of
the Naval Institute Proceedings,
concludes that to subject the Jap
anese homeland to consistent bomb
ing from the north we must take
the southern end of Sakhalin Island.
I'm order to subject industrial
Nippon to routine and consistent
bombing" writes Comdr. Hutchin-
son, I'VE must establish bases within
range of Honshu, Shikoku and Kyu-
shu. Until the Soviets present US
with some bases in Kamchatka or
in the basin Of the Amur River,
we must look to Karafuto, the
southern end of Sakhalin, as
our objective Paramushiru Jima
(lSland), Matsuwa Jlma and the
rest of the Kuriles must be ruled
out for air operations because they
are too close to the meteorological
battle ground between the warm
water of the Pacific, the cold water
of the Sea of Okhotsk and the air
masses from the Polar and Pacific
source regions.
"Karsfuto is enemy territory
which is ours for the taking. 1t has
both winter and summer climates
which offer possibilities for consist
ent flight operations 1t is open to
attack, after Paramushiru (Jap-
anese naval base in the Kuriles) is
ours, through the lower reaches Of
the Sea Of Okhotsk, both winter and
summer. Our bombers with fighter
escort can operate easily from there
against the industrial centers Of

after the partial publication of 9
State Department document report.
ing that President Pedro Ramirez
of Argentina conspired with Span.
ish officials in Buenos Aires to bring
about the violent change in Bo.
livia's regime on December 20.
Adrian Escobar, Argentine Am
bassador, reached the United States
en- route to Washington today while
shortwave broadcasts acquainted the
Argentine people with the nature OF
the document. 1t was not officially
released by the State Department
and officials declined to comment on
it. Its secret existence has been re-
sponsible for two diplomatic de-
velopments:
1. Refusal of the United States
and 18 other American republics to
recognize the Bolivian regime that
came into power with the December
20 revolution.
2. Argentina's severance Of diplo-
matte relations with Germany and
Japan.
------eeuunts-Upon Axis BREAK.
President Ramirez is believed
strong enough to ride OUT any po-
litical Storm within his country or
outside it that might be stirred by
the documents publication, since he
has displayedE unfiendliness to the
|1AxH by his+ abandonment of neu;
trafty. Ramirez knew that's tAs
document existed when he aban-
doned neutrality.
The disclosures in the document
reveal one reason for the United
States policy Of "toughness" with
Spain. It charges that Jose Aran-
guren, chief clerk at the Spanish
Embassy in Buenos Aires, was an
intermediary in passing 5000, 900
bolivianos from Argentine officials
to the leaders of the revolution.
Several Called Axis Agents.
The document charges that Ra-
mirez and his principal adviser, Col.
Juan Peron, played an active part in
the arrangements for the revolu-
ton, which was carried out by the
MNR party-the Movimiento Ma
cional Revolucionario. The docu-
ment states:
The MNR has connections with
Nazi groups In Germany and Ar
gentina"
President Gualberto Villaroel OF
Bolivia and six members of the
cabinet are charged with being Axis
agents. The cabinet officers named
are Interior Minister Alberto Ia
borga, Agriculture Minister Carlos
Montenegro, Economy Minister Gus
tavo Chacon, Public Works Minister
Antonio Ponce and Education Min
lister Augusta de Cespedes.
Resignation Of those and other
Bolivian officials labeled pro-Nazi
in the document is looked for, with
their replacement by moderate Bo-
livlans acceptable to the United
States. The present outlook is for
an orderly change rather than a
counter-revolution.
