Somewhere In The Pacific)
The navy took its own supply

The American answer to the

The answer is simply that all

Everything from drydocks to
quonset huts bob right along in

This base is operated by Squad.

the amount of fuel oil consumed

Rail Quiz
How does a railroad keep track
of its wandering freight cars?

Every railroad has car record Of
fee which, by means of daily reports
from agents, keeps complete up-to-
date record of the movements of all
freight cars on its own lines regard
less Of ownership, and all of its own
cars on other railroads. When a car
moves from one railroad to another,
the agent at the point Of interchange
reports the fact to the car record
offices of the railroads concerned, in
Guiding the railroad which owns the
car. Thus the location of every freight
car is known to the Car service organ

behring's become matter Of permanent
record.

On Black Market in
Clothing and Textiles
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Govern-
ment agencies today pressed 4 four
way drive to smash black market
sales Of clothing and textiles.
Attorney General CLARK said the
drive, designed to restore a free flow
of clothing and textiles to the nor
NAL market, is being conducted by
the Justice Department, Treasury
Department, ONCE Of Price Admin
istration and the ofdce of District
Attorney F. x. McGohey of New
York.
''The four agencies of the Govern
ment, actively participating in what
is expected to result in the greatest
roundup of black marketers on rec
ord, will utilize every Federal stat
ute applicable, some of them carry
ing heavy jail penalties" Mr.. Clark
said.
Most former servicemen are still
wearing o. D. shirts because it is
almost impossible to get white shirts.
The black market in clothing and
textiles is interfering with the sta
bility of our national economy. It is
striking at the value of the dollar
and tends to bring on a runaway
market and imitation"
Mr.. Clark said the first step in
the drive was the impaneling here
yesterday of a special Federal grand
jury, particularly to investigate ap-
parently isolated cases to determine
whether they were connected.
THE industries concerned are 80
per cent concentrated in New York
City," he said, although the black
market in clothing and textiles
operates on a national scale, poten-
TALLY affecting every little store on
every main street in the land"
