New Production Record

An all-time high Of $4,000 bar
rels daily Of natural gasoline and
allied hydrocarbon products, used
in making high-octane aviation
gasohnes, was produced by U. S.
natural gasoline and cycling plants
last November, the latest month for
which figures are available.
This was the third consecutive
month that the natural gasoline
industry broke all previous records,
In October, 1913, the plants pro-
duced an average of 252, 700 barrels
daily of natural gasoline and allied
hydrocarbon products In Septem-
Der, 1913, production averaged ESQ.,

GAS SHORTAGE MOUNTS

Los Alphabetically mounting
military demands in the Pacific are
causing reductions In gasoline de-
liveries to service stations on the
Pacific coast with slashes ranging
from Is to so per cent. Many sta
tons on daily quotas close up when
they have sold out. Many stations
are getting half regular" gas and
half premium" gas and indications
are that, with the military demands
for aviation fuel growing, further
curtailment of the civilian supply
viii be felt in this area. Refineries
are operating "a hours day at top
speed and are turning out 80 per
cent more gas than they did in
1910, but the Army and Navy get
first call on gasoline, war industries
second, and civilian third.

BY w. H. SHIPPEN, Jr.,

The Nazis today apparently had
lost their last battle to hold weather
observation posts on the strategic
coast of Greenland.
The end came in a two-month
battle, described at the Navy De-
partment today, between a small
Coast Guard task force and German
shore stations and armed trawlers
a few hundred miles from the North
Pole.
Crews of the cutters, which
smashed through ice-packed waters
to the scene of the Arctic battle
believed to have been the farthest
north of any in this hemisphere.
captured 60 Nazis, sank an armed
trawler, captured a second, forced
abandonment of a third and de-
stroyed a mined German radio
station.
Reports of Commodore Earl G
Rose of Muncey, Pa, commander Of
the Greenland Patrol, revealed tina,
three of the four cutters participat,
ing were damaged by ice foes which
threatened at times to close in or
the ships and crush them, and one
cutter was disabled and had to bt
towed 5000 miles back to its base.

and it's crew of 20 men were seized.
The cutters opened fire with S.
inch deck guns, and the Nazi
trawler ran into a blind alley in the
ice pack and was trapped. A prize
crew was put aboard the surren-
dered vessel to sail her to an Allied
port.
Two weeks earlier the Eastwind
landed two platoons on Little Kol-
dewey Island in predawn attack
on a Nazi weather and radio sta
ton. They captured three Nazi Of
ficers and nine enlisted men, along
with their armament and scientific
equipment.
The Germans, who have long
sought to chart the course of Green
lands storms, which have a direct
bearing on European weather sew
eral days later. apparently had tried
to set up three stations on the
northeast coast last summer.
One of these parties was captured
by the crew of the cutter North

mile race between the ice foes. tn,
8 German officers and 40 enlisted
men scuttled their ship and cam,

From Yesterdays Late Edition

from Yesterdays Late Edition.
The Country Garden Market, op.
Grated by Samuel Shanker at North

andria, was closed this afternoon
by city health officials for genera
unsanitary" conditions. This was
the first time the Health Depart
ment has taken such action, officials
said.
A. Clarke Slaymaker, food inspec-
tor for the Health Department, said

after an inspection of the store. The
license was revoked by order of
Keith Wade, chief sanitary inspector.
He said the action had the full ap-
proval of City Manager Carl Bud
wesky.
Mr.. Slaymaker said the market

to do business again and undergo a
rigid inspection.
The food inspector recalled that
the County Garden Market had

Alexandria Civil and Police Court
on charges of doing retail business
at less than cost, and had been
convicted In April on child labor law
charges.
Mr.. Shanker, who operates three
other Country Garden markets in
harrington and Arlington County,
lost the right to sell rationed COM
modities for the duration before an
Office of Price Administration hear

andria.
The suspension order, effective

victed by jury In Federal Court

Without More Tax,
Governor Says
By the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 14.-In addi-
ton to several millions of dollars"
already set aside for postwar con-
Struction and planning, Gov. O'Con-
or intends to ask the 1945 Legisla-
ture to earmark Substantial part
OF the present State surplus for
postwar construction needs"
In an address last night before
the Baltimore Industrial Club, Gov.
O'Conor said the States sound
financial position made this possi-
BILE, and the money could be made
available without additional taxa
ton.
"As of today" he asserted, "the
projects in Maryland approved for
inclusion in the State capital i'm
provement construction program to-
tai 101, at an estimated cost of $9,-
$4,000.
Training Schools Included.
These projects include hospitals,
schools, new health building,
training schools, etc."
He said 80 per cent of the plans
involved either were completed or
actually on the drawing boards,
and "this means that, when the,war
does end. all or most of these prof.
ects will be ready to initiate imme-
diately if the employment situation
should make it advisable to do So"
The Governor added that other
projects under consideration might
raise the total of State public con-
struction to SIS 5,000, 900.
272 Projects Submitted.
"As these projects, though def
nitely needed by the State, are in
tended primarily as employment
stopgaps, you can readily under
stand that they wouldn't serve their
purpose unless they could be begun
at the time when they are most
needed.
Counties and municipalities, in
Guiding Baltimore City, have sub
mitted 272 projects, to cost approx
imately $8o,000.0o0. Likewise, the
several sanitary divisions of the
State have recommended Al prof.
ects, to cost $4,000 ,000."

slightest doubt of the ultimate VIC
tory-there cannot be a moments
slackening of the drive. Further
more a flight from this base to the
Philippines and from Eniwetok in

fact that the greatest obstacle tc
the American forward advance out
here Is time-consuming distance.
In a 25,0OO-mile fight the writer

ships but the endless chain of YES

Into the forward areas we went

and Army units fighting the Japs
on the one hand and the typhoons

Arlington S Public
Facilities No Lonqer
Adequate, Group Told

Asserting that Arlington County
has completely outgrown it's public
service facilities" Edmund D.
Campbell, member of the County
Board, last night told the county
Board of Trade that now Is the time
ito discuss methods to remedy the
situation.
1--WE must realize that Arlington
County is getting out of its swaddling
clothes" he said, adding that after
the war the county must act as a
municipality and furnish its people
with additional necessary services. +"
Il don't know of any way we can
provide these services without addi-
tional money" he declared.
Debt Load Is Light.
Mr.. Campbell said the only thing
Arlington has that 1t can be proud
of is an honest and solvent govern
ment. 1--WE can be proud of the fact
that we are not heavily indebted"
he said.
But We have a sewage disposal
plant overflowing with raw sewage
that is not being cared for, and we
have been burying our refuse and
garbage. This cannot continue. It
Is menace to health.
Look at our roads-I call them
roads because it is not fair to call
them streets-that have to be taken
out of the mud after every rain or
freeze. We also need sidewalks and
the storm sewer system in a large
part of the county should be rem
edied to keep rain water from resi-
dents Easements"
Result Of Swift Growth.
Mr.. Campbell pointed out that
these problems are a result of the
county's rapid growth. He explained
that taxes do not begin to come in
until several years after construc-
ton, but public services must be
provided the minute construction
Is finished.
'In the final analysis" Mr.. Camp
bell said, "a local government is Just
what We pay for. If we want more
We can pay the price and get it, and
If We. don't want more We can 60
along as we are. That is something
we will have to decide"
