Senator Thomas Cites
Col. Roosevelt Work
To Support Promotion
By the Associated Press.

The Senate Military Affairs Com
rnittee has decided to make separate
studies of the exploits of Col. Elliott
Roosevelt and the air travels of his
dog Blaze.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of
Utah, committee chairman, men,
tioning some of the colonel's cita-
tions for air work, said he felt that
the Presidents second son had "a
very fine record" to support his NOM
ination for promotion to brigadier
general.
The nomination will be considered
Tuesday. he said, along with more
than 100 other Army promotions
which came from the White House
Thursday
Senator Thomas had little to
say about Blaze, but a subcommittee
headed by Senator Stewart, Demo-
crat, of Tennessee, will inquire later
in the week into how the animal
got top A. priority that bumped
three servicemen off an Air Trans
port Command plane in Memphis
January IL.
Questions Await ATC Head.
Senator Bridges, Republican, of
New Hampshire said Maj. Gen.
Harold George, head of the ATC,
will be asked about it at the first
meeting
Saying he saw no reason for
delaying Col. Roosevelt's promotion
pending the outcome of the priori-
ties inquiry Senator Bridges pointed
out that Congress can spank gen.
eral as we'll as colonel"
At the time the dog affair first
came to public notice through COM
plants from the bumped servicemen
Stephen Early, White House press
secretary, said neither the colonel,
now back overseas, nor anybody in
the White House had anything to
do with getting priority for Blaze.
He said young Roosevelt merely
left request that the mastiff be
flown to Hollywood to his actress
wife, Faye Emerson, if an empty
bomber headed that way.
The ATC angle on that was given
yesterday by an Air Transport OFF,
cer-fully qualified to know what
went on. He said he couldn't afford
to be quoted by name, but:
1T was like this. The White
House called the Air Transport
Command and said they wanted this
dog shipped West.
What would you do-even a
ciyilian-if the White House said
they wanted something? You'd give
it to them"
Priority Not Asked for Dog.
He added, however, that the
White House did not ask for a
priority.
Men aren't supposed to be on ATC
planes at all, he continued, and
when they are given free rides as an
accommodation, they know they're
on ID" priority, behind any freight
that goes aboard
After the dog got on as freight,
the officer said, it was decided the
thing to do was route it on through
and get rid of it as quickly as pos
sible."
The ATC made one mistake, the
office rsaid-when somebody put
tag on the crate reading Mrs.
Elliott Roosevelt"
If that hadn't been done, or if
the tag had read Mrs Joe Doakes,"
he's willing to bet none of the fuss
would have come up.

out of coal, go to your precinct po-
lice station. A policeman will be
sent to certify that your bin is
empty. That certification will be
sent to the coal division of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton, which will turn it over to a
coal dealer.
Deliveries in IL Hours.
Mr. Fadeley said those orders COM
ing through police should be filled
within an average period of II hours.
1t is expected the same procedure
for certifying empty bins will be
employed in Maryland and Virginia
communities adjacent to Washing
ton. A. P. Brown, chairman of the
coal division of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, said
members of his organization are
seeing the county commissioners in
Maryland and Virginia today and
hope that the new arrangement in
the communities around Washing
ton will also be effective Monday.
The coal dealers clarified the po-
lice participation in the plan for
distributing coal, clearing up the
confusion arising from the fact the
coal regulations came from two dit
ferent sources.
The Solid Fuels Administration
order directed that no coal should
be delivered to a consumer having
more than f1ve-day supply. and
then that no more than / ton of
coal, or an amount equal to a seven
day supply should be delivered
whichever is larger.
The police inspection of bins fol
the purpose of certifying that the
consumer is out of coal is a pro.
cedure adopted in Washington tt
make certain person out of Goa
shall get some.
Panic Coal Buying.
The Washington situation has
been complicated by panic buying
of coal much like the panic buying
of gasoline during the period wher
gasoline was short. Coal dealers
have filed frantic orders for fuel
only to have the truck driver find q
sizable amount of coal already il
the customers bin.
While the order of Solid Fuel'
Administrator IckeS directing re.
stricted deliveries only to those con.
sumers with five-day supply ol
less applies until further notice,
the embargo on nonmilitary freight
expires at midnight Monday.
Coal men pointed out that cars
loaded at the mines up to midnight
last night would come through, and
since it takes six days for delivery
from the mine to the District, the
flow of coal into this area won't
trickle out until the latter part of
next week, and then, in three days,
it will be resumed.
The coal situation here is compli-
Gated also by the inanpower short
age in making deliveries, and will
be further complicated by the max
ing of small deliveries, putting more
demands on trucks.
