Oil Trode Notes

WASHINGTON WPB has re-
leased restrictions on the manufac-
turing of many types of automotive
maintenance equipment, effective
May q. The restrictions of order
L-270 on tire changing tools, anti
freeze testers, battery filters and
battery hydrometers, were re-
moved.
Seventeen repair items, ranging
from armature GROWERS to motor
block test heads, had limitation on
production increased from 20 per
cent to 100 percent of the base
period. On another group of "a
maintenance equipment items,
which included such items as brake
drum gauges, clutch rebuilding
equipment, and tire pumps, the
limitation was upped from rs per
cent to 100 percent of the base
period. Definition of the base period
also changed from 1941 production
TO 1871 sales.
Price Boosts Banned
Service stations and other retail
establishments cannot increase
their ceiling prices for gasoline on
the ground that they or their sup
pliers have added certain substances
10 their gasoline, the office of price
administration has announced.
Ceilings of retail sellers are gen.
orally the highest prices charged
for particular grade of gasoline in
March, 1912. A specific definition
which is made effective Nav %.
1914, says that grade" means the
three classifications of gasoline
generally recognized for retail
sales by the petroleum industry,
namely, premium, regular and third
grade. A gasoline, irrespective of
any substances added to it, is re
garded as either premium, regular
or third grade in the determination
of ceilings under the retail petro-
leum regulation.
No new grades win be recognized
by OPA unless unless conclusive
evidence is presented showing that

they would be generally recognized
in the petroleum industry as new
grades, the agency said To establish
a new grade, an application must
be made to OPA, presenting facts
which make clear that the product
is generally recognized as a new
grade by the petroleum industry.
Tax Is Evaded
The blending of tax-free kerosene
with taxable gasoline for motor
fuel is raising old hob with state
revenue" in New Mexico, accord
ing to Fred Lynn, secretary of the
New Mexico Petroleum Industries
Committee.
Lynn told members at a regional
meeting in Santa Fe, N. M, that
10 per cent of the motor fuel in the
state recently tested showed tax
free kerosene had been mixed with
gasoline.
Sale of auto use tax stamps of
SIS began on June 10. Available in
all postoffices and at the office of
the collector of internal revenue in
Helena, the stamps will evidence

year beginning July /, 1914. The
stamps must be purchased on or

what he said in the newspapers
should read and study his remarks.
They should read and study ALL
of his remarks, for in all he says he
is giving the American people THE
TRUTH in this campaign-and true
: things have been too long suppressed
and obscured.
The American people should be
interested in the truth, and surely
are.
They have been puzzled and
distressed by the many wartime con-
troversies involving labor.
THE truth about these contro-
l. versies, as Gov. Dewey said, is
that:
"The chief blame goes directly
INTO THE WHITE HOUSE and
to its agency created at the top
of all this chaos of agencies, the
War Labor Board.
"That board has supreme potDer
ouer the Uital matters of Wages and
conditions of employment.
"Whether by design or sheer
incompetence, its practice has been
to stall, weeks, months, sometimes
years, before issuing decisions :. Z.
"This policy of delay, delay
and more delay serves only the
New Deal and its political ends.
"It puts the leaders of labor
on the spot.
at makes them come hat in
hand to the White House.
at makes political loyalty the
test of man getting his rights.
"Personal government instead
of government by law, politics in
stead of Justice, prevails in the
labor field in this country and l
AM AGAINST THAT KIND OF
ADMINISTRATION"
THIS campaign is making the
Il United States a better IN.
FORMED nation.
And the manner in which the
American people ACT upon the in
formation thus afforded them will
determine not merely the result of
the coming election but the destiny
of our free and democratic Ameri-
can institutions-perhaps for genera
tions to come.

WHEN Gov. Dewey asserted in.
w Seattle that the labor policy of
the Roosevelt New Deal administra-
ton "has been one of delays,
bungling and incompetence" he had
immediate and impressive verifica-
ton and substantiation.
Gov. Dewey said of that policy:
at has put untold obstacles in
the Day of labor's effort to aUoid
maritime strikes.
1T has fostered strife between
one labor group and another, be-
fDeen labor and business and be-
tpeen both and government.

"A stantiated Gov. Dewey's Seattle
speech was Wayne L. Morse, former
dean of the University of Oregon
Law School and a former member of

Mr.. Morse participated in some
of the most important labor disputes
in the country and particularly on
the Pacific Coast during his two
years of service on the War Labor
Board.
He wrote nearly 100 of it's major
decisions.
He helped draft the Little

The churches, too, have opened
their doors to youth, although tradi-
ton, here, seems to stand in the way
of the POSITIVE APPROACH re-
ligion should take to the problem.
Young people Themselves haze
said that too many churches do not
seem to have enough time for boys
and girls, that almost all their time
is devoted to adults, that there are
not enough week day and week
night programs for young people.
To state it plainly, ENOUGH is
NOT BEING DONE FOR YOUTH.
COMMUNITY agencies must not
" continue to simply make their
facilities available to youth; they
must 60 out in the communities and
use a method Of personal approach
to draw into their groups that por-
ton of youth which does not con-
slider itself INTERESTED in whole
some activities.
A crying need which youth well
fare agencies suffer from most
keenly, is for volunteer adult leader
ship. In many cases, the agencies
have the program, they have the
facilities, but the very adults most
qualified to fill the need for leader
ship simply FAIL TO COME FOR
WARD.
Some way must be found to
draft these people into service.
Actually, only about 3 per cent
of the minors of Los Angeles eUer

But translate that figure into terms

YOUTH itself can help youth.
L School children who canvassed
their neighborhoods on a house to

BOYS AND GIRLS INTO CON-
STRUCTIVE PROJECTS. Much
more of this type of thing CAN and
MUST BE DONE.
The churches, too, must fulfill
the responsibility which has been
theirs throughout the ages for
positive approach to the individual
in the interests of his spiritual well

attitude is not enough,

Youth Recreation Program
Must Be Made Attractive
By J. PAUL ELLIOTT


chairman Los angeles
A SURVEY of juvenile court cases
n in Los Angeles County by the
Los Angeles Youth Activities Com
mittee has disclosed that sc per cent
of the girls and rs per cent of the
boys have never belonged to char
acter building agency or club, and 70
per cent were not attendants at any
church.
Thus we have before our eyes
and, what is more, before our con-
sciences, an aspect of the juvenile
delinquency situation which con-
stitutes a concrete, obvious problem,
and one which is POSSIBLE OF
SOLUTION.
One of the greatest and most
shameful public neglects is the fail
ure to prouide ADEQUATE FACILI-
TIES and CONSTRUCTIVE REC
REATION for the thousands of boys
and girls who SEEM TO FIND NO
WAY TO TURN in this great city.
THE problem must be attacked
L from two angles.
In the first place, in opposition
to undesirable influences and TAT
tractive nuisances" available to
youth, the community must provide
a program of positive, dynamic and
DESIRABLE recreation and char
acter building activities which will
have a strong APPEAL TO YOUTH.
In the second place, ways and
means must be found to ATTRACT
boys and girls into such a program,
and away from wrong interests.
Best equipped to do this job are
the church,, the school and COM
munity organizations.
The boys. and girls from homes
that haze ceased to function as such
either are going to be guided and
served by the community, or THEY
ARE GOING TO CREATE A POST
WAR CRIME WAVE UNEOUALED
BY THE CANISTER PERIOD
AFTER THE LAST WAR.
The program of every social
agency is built on this premise.
TT is very true that progress has
l. been made in this community in
the past few months in the matter Of
offering youth greatly expanded
youth activity facilities.
1t is true that the schools have
done an excellent job in placing their
facilities at the disposal of youth for
constructive projects.

YMCA, YWCA, the Campfire Girls
and other community agencies de-
voted to youth welfare have coop
