Convention Help On Shortage Of Paper Is Sought
Labor Press Needs Help Against Famine Of
 Newsprint

SAN DIEGO, Calif.-(FP)-Act ing swiftly on an urgent appeal from Editor Wells loft of the La bor Leader, the San Diego Trades & Labor Council submitted resO' lution to the coming AFL cOnven. ton asking its help to protect the labor press against the threat of newsprint famine.
 The resolution asked the federation to use all its influence in direct nego- tiations, or in an appeal for legisla- ton, to get paper mills to allow a normal increase i'll quotas for labor weeklies at normal quota prices.
 The council also suggested possible formation of a buying cooperative financed by the AFL, to pool the buy ing power of a large number of labor publications.
 Facts and figures furnished by Toft showed that the council pub ication was caught in quota squeeze, which threatens to force small newspapers to the wal throughout the US.
 On the price side of the picture Toft explained, every newspaper con fronts the nationwide gray market 1T newsprint, with prices running as high as $270 a ton. On that kind o1 pricing, many small newspaper faces extinction.
 sFreedOm of the press is one of the labor movements basic neces. sities,'' he told the council. ''But without paper to print on, freedom of the press has no meaning what ever."

Assorted Jeeps Demonstrate
Talents for Civilian Jobs

the farm, its manufacturers say
Delmer G. Roos. the WHY'S Over
land vice president in charge OF
engineering. usually known as
Barney, the father OF the jeep,''
announced that more than half
of the $4,000 civilian jeeps in cir
culation are on farms.
1--WE are not trying to replace the
tractor" Mr.. Roos says. "The jeep,
however, is ideal for the farmer
who can afford only a small We
hicle that must be used as q sta
ton wagon, tractor, plow and half
a dozen other things. Or it is Won
derful as an auxiliary machine to
the farmer who can also own big
tractor"
Attachments Developed.
! Mr.. Roos said he and his engi-
neers were first given the idea when
the British began to use the jeeps
on their farms during the early
part Of the war. A full year before
the end of the war Willys-Overland
was experimenting with farm uses,
however, and today there are more
than dozen different jeep attach
ments or vehicles for the farm.
Mr.. Roos also uncovered to the
public for the first time yesterday
three improved jeeps developed
toward the end of the war that
never saw action.
The neatest of these is the little
job for the white-collar trade-the
jeep station wagon, equipped with
push-button water jets to spray

inside, removable seats and doors
that open by push buttons.

Good Driving Weather
Cuts Gasoline Supply
BY the Associated PRESS

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Many Of
the Standard Oil Co. of New Jer-
sey's $4,000 service stations in 18
Eastern States were being limited
today in their supplies because Of q
shortage caused by phenomenal
weather" which has resulted In
"the public driving its head off,"
This was disclosed last night by
a company spokesman who said,
however, that the ALLEGATION was
essentially on a spot basis" and
that the company expected the sit
uation to be cleared up within 10
days. In some sections, he added,
dealers were being allowed only IS
per cent Of requirements, but there
is no official formula and the move
may not affect the average
motorist."
Meanwhile, Lionel Jacobs, chair
man of the Atlantic Coast Oh Con-
ference, said in Philadelphia that
Eastern reflneries have agreed to
ration gasoline to filing stations to
step up production of fuel oil for
home and commercial use and avert
a shortage.
I Gasoline is not being rationed
here and it is not expected that
such action will be necessary, ac-
cording to w. B. Cooper, acting
District agent for Standard Oil, al
though, he said, the situation is
tight" in number OF East Coast
sections.

Twenty -one assorted offspring of
the tabled wartime jeep paraded
their talents at O'Donnell's Farm
yesterday before 800 American and
foreign government officials.
The war jeep was marveled at as
q thing of the ultimate in maneu-
verability, but 1t didn't actually do
much except carry soldiers and ma
chine-guns where they needed to
go. Today's jeep goes to the same
places more easily and does every
thing from digging trenches to
lighting up a softball field.
Yesterdays demonstration was
the blazing finish Of a 35,000-mile
tour which the "Cavalcade of
Jeeps" has made over every State
east Of the Rockies during the last
eight months.
Digs Holes, Trenches
The spectators watched jeep
dig postholes 80 inches deep and a
foot wide-one every ten seconds.
They saw another big a trench five
feet deep and foot wide at the rate
of 800, feet an hour.
Another hitched on a power belt
and ground corn at a rate that
would ordinarily take a machine
four times the size of the jeep.
Equipped with short belt, the same
jeep ran a three-foot circular saw.
The most versatile of all was the
air compressor jeep, which had at
tachments to power a paint spray,
an electric tree pruner, an electric
forest saw, or concrete hammer
drill.

On Red Papers Article
By the Associated Press

PRAGUE, Oct. 23.-The Czecho-
slovak Foreign Office has made rep
resentations to the Communist daily
Newspaper, Rude Pravo, about an
article to which American Ambassa-
dor Laurence Steinhardt has taken
exception, a spokesman said today.
The article, published by the
newspaper in connection with the
First Coninform announcement,
said American planes had bombed
Czech factories in the closing days
of the war ito smash Czech econ
omy."
The Ambassador protested that
Allies of all countries, including
Czechoslovakia, had agreed to wage
war to the end on Nazi productivity.
The Czech factories then were pro-
ducing war materials for Germany
and the Ambassador said such words
were not conducive to peace now.
The spokesman said the Foreign
Office had assured the American
Embassy It agreed that the story
harmed peaceful relations between
the United States and Czechoslo-
vakia, and that representations had
been made to the newspaper.

Official Denies Saying
Japan Isn't Conquered
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, Oct. 23.-A Japanese
government official said today he
didn't really mean it when he de-
clared Japan "has not been con-
quered."
Toru Hagiwara, director Of the
Japanese Foreign Office Treaties
Bureau, explained in an interview
that when he made the statement
before a House of Councillors Com
mittee, he was speaking only from
the viewpoint of international law
Councillors are members of the
Japanese parliament's upper cham
ber..
Hagiwara said that traditional
methods of ending war-annexation
armistice, or suspension of hostili-
ties without formal conclusion
had not been followed in Japan's
case. He said nothing about the
articles Of surrender signed aboard
the battleship Missouri.
This document specified uncondi-
tfonal surrender.
Hagiwara said that Japan hopes"
for a chance to present its case at
the peace conference, but that the
final decision was up to the Allies.
