bases
All these are superlatives, but
consider especially the last. Brit

fires which become beacons to guide
American bombers in their raids
next morning Then the Americans
light fires anew, and the British

FARM GASOLINE CUT

Farmers may have a little trouble
in getting tractor" gasoline from
now on.
Farm gasoline has been the sub
ject of intensive conferences be-
tween officials of OPA and AAA
because of evidence that some far
mers have been getting excessive
quantities of gasoline by evading
OPA regulations, One farm ruse
has been to apply for gasoline to
operate b andoned machinery.
Since ration boards are unable to
check on every piece of farm ma
chinery, farmer can apply for
gasoline for motor vehicle aban-
doned in dark corner of his barn.
Also, unless ration boards check
carefully, farmer can overstate
his acreage under cultivation as
compared with his total acreage.
Following conferences in Wash
ington, however, a campaign has
been undertaken to correct these
abuses. OPA officials say they ex-
pect "a tremendous saving in gaso-
line to be effected"
AAA officials are now double
checking farmers applications and
investigating their claims regarding
machinery and acreage.

are furious about a recent War De-

Instructions Issued to Soldiers OF
Eleven States" The release reads
in part:
IF a soldier is in doubt as TO
whether he is qualified to vote
under the laws of his State, he
should inquire Immediately by let
ter of the Secretary of State of the
State of his voting residence as to
whether it is necessary to register,
pay taxes, or meet other require
mentS."
The error in this order escaped
many who read it. But it did not
escape hard-hitting COP Repre-
sentative George Bender of Ohio,
leader of anti-poll tax forces in the
House. Bender sent hot note to
Colonel Robert Cutler in Secretary
Stimson's office, reading:
This release appears completely
to ignore the existence of Public
Law TIP, enacted in 1912, which re-
lieves members of the armed forces
of the necessity of registering and
paying poll tax in order to vote
for Federal offices.
II shall appreciate your inform
ing me why this information was
not supplied the members of the
Army. 1t seems to me very i'm
portant that members of the armed
forces be fully informed of their
voting rights"
Congressman Bender is looking
forward with interest to the reply
