constituency today that there was
no doubt military information had
been transmitted by submarine

he said, than for a German sub
marine to come in at night to one
of the remote harbors in the west
OF Ireland, send a boat ashore, meet
an enemy agent and take away
some message to be sent to Ger

May Ease
Gas and Tire
Ration Rules
High Official Sees
Chunce of Relieving
Hordships Soon
By LANES Y. NEWTON.

Increased rations of both gaso-
line and tires are In prospect
for the Nations motorists, with
drivers in the East likely to profit
most from the probable changes,
"a high rationing official said last
might.
Preliminary figures of savings In
gasoline from the current drive on
the black market and generally
frightened rationing regulations, the
official said, indicate it will be pos
sible to increase B rations in the
East and gasoline for occupational
driving In other parts Of the coun-
try. He added that it will be known
definitely within a week or 10 days
whether the increases will be
possible.
The Office of Price Administration
also is planning to give motorists
more new synthetic rubber tires in
May. This month about 750, 900 new
tires are being distributed. Civilian
tire production is running about
100000 a month above that figure,
and these are being held in reserve
against the greater needs of hot
weather and the possibility that mil
itary requirements for rubber might
increase.
More Liberality on Tires.
Plans call for rationing of more
tires in May and even larger in
creases for June and July. It is
not expected, however, that the
standard of motorists eligibility
for obtaining a new tire will be re-
duced substantially. Only highly
essential car owners can obtain new
tires now, and the greater number
to be distributed will be required
to fill their needs.
The official said he was anxious
to raise B rations particularly In the
East, and he would order the change
if the prospect of greater supply was
only hope rather than a GER
tainty."
Plans call for B rations, now suffi-
cient for 1926 miles of driving per
month, to be raised to permit ATS
miles of monthly operation, the cur
rent level of that ration in the Mid
west. In the Far West, B books now
afford 400 miles of driving month.
The official said he was hopeful of
increasing gasoline allowances of
Ipersons who use their cars to make
a living in the other portions of the
country as we'll as the East.
Bockholder to Benefit.
| Outside of the more strictly con-
ltrolled Atlantic seaboard, B rations
lat one time permitted TO miles of
Idriving.
| The official said it was his plan
that when more gasoline was made
available it would be given to the
B bookholder, "the man who uses
his car to make living" but is not
entitled to the larger C rations.
| Large fuel savings already have
resulted from the issuance of seriaIy
numbered coupons for trucks and
other commercial vehicles, the off,
cial said. 1t is indicated, he added,
THAT the recently introduced num-
Ibering procedure for B and c cou-
pons will bring further savings.
i While it is too early to Judge re-
suits of the campaign against the
black market, the drive also ex-
pected to make available more gaso-
line for distribution in legal chan
lnels
OPA hopes total savings of about
$4,000 barrels of gasoline day will
} be realized from all the steps to
tighten rationing, but it will be
possible to raise B coupon value If
} only a part of that economy is
made.

KODIAK DIARY ...

The crews of the 11th AAFs "crash boats" which operate Tn the treacherous currents of the Aleutians will try anything-in any kind of storm-lt was shown in a report recently re- ceived from one of the boats. The report was titled "Mission Unsuccessful"l and involved one soldier from Kodiak.
 Although most of the crew were hardy AlaskaDs with long experience in these most difficult waters in the world they could n't make it to lonely outpost to pick up a critically i'll soldier and return him to an Aleutian base hospital.
 The crew made three tries to get the sick soldier on board the rescue vessel. Three Alaskans, Staff Sgt. Willard c. Nadeau of Kodiak, Staff Sgt. Frank Thor i son of Naknek and Pvt. Charles IE. Hanson of Squaw Harbor volunteered 10 take small dory lin through the pounding surf with the medical officer, who ar- rived safely, if a little wet, and rendered emergency aid
 During two succeeding days of ferocious weather, they made repeated efforts to get the pa tient and the medical cfficer back to the vessel. Twice the fendish surf whipped the dory end over end, throwing patient, medical officer and crew in all directions.
 l Finally, when the patient re-

fused to try again, the medical officer left medicine and instruc- tions, explaining they would be back when the seas quieted down, if they ever did.
 "And that's the reason it was written Mission Unsuccessful, the reporting officer said.
 The Emergency Rescue Boat Squadron. which operates along 5000 miles of shoreline from Southeastern Alaska to Attu, was originally a quartermaster unit, tralned by the Coast Guard and is now staffed by AAF personnel and under the command of the 11th AAF Ser vice Command. This squadron has more than paid it's way dur ing the past year by pulling several two-motored planes out of the North Pacific and BerlnG See. Also during the period. they have saved several lives outright and assisted in over q hundred other emergency cases.

We heard a man complaining the other day at the price he had paid for a bottle of drinking whisky at some $4 and some odd cents.
 Shucks, that's nothing. We know where there's an empty whisky bottle for sale at SlO.50.

It's an old story when Alas kans go Outside to live and re- turn a few months later, but Vincent Harris, a resident of Cordova for 20 years, did one better.

CAMP CLAIBORNE
One Of our boys in the service Of
Uncle Sam,
Was shot and killed by an officer
at Camp Claiborne.
Sunday, Sept. the third, nineteen
hundred and forty-four.
The same old story heard many tim
es before
One lone soldier outnumbered by
three or more.
Trying to protect himself the best
he can.
From his tormentors' cruel hand.
Broke away ard ran to escape.
The cruel torture of prejudice and
hate.
To tell the naked truth
The officers made a holiday Of
Gods Holy Dayl
To torture and kill one Of our group
The German Gestapo if you please,
Would gladly welcome such as these
Who value human life so cheap -
Torture and death is their belief.
Officers who are so inhuman.
Are unfit to command
And Uncle Sam should take a hand.
And relieve them of their command.
A soldier is a human being,
Who has pledged his life if need be
To his country in the cause of lib
erty.
And regardless of color or nation
atty.
Should be treated humanity!
Our hearts are filled with sorrow
To know that our CT Joe,
Is suffering cruel persecution,
In army camps throughout the
southland,
The very same brand that our ma
tive land,
Called them to fight and end,
In a foreign land.
