Col. G.. H. Vogel of the Army
Navy Petroleum Board said today it
looks almost impossible" for the
armed services to obtain as much
aviation fuel as they need during
the first six months of 1948.
Col. Vogel. executive officer of
the board. said the members expect
to call conference soon with COM
mittees representing the petroleum
industry.
He told a reporter there seems
little hope, however, of meeting full
military requirements and that the
services may have to accept gaso-
line of lower octane rating than they
prefer.
The Army and Navy have been
able to contract for enough fuel to
carry them through the rest of
1947, Col. Vogel added, although
stocks are still so low that, there are
restrictions even on some flying re-
garded as essential.
Col. Vogel said other petroleum
products-Diesel fuel, motor gaso-
line and number OF special fuels
also are scarce.
Robert E. Friedman, assistant di-
rector of the Interior Departments
oil and gas division, agreed with
Col. Vogel, saying that neither the
military nor we are satisfied" with

petroleum products.
The scarcity of products other
than aviation gasoline was high

producers supply the services with
all they can spare "an emergency

BALTIMORE, Sept. 24.-Two
Washington liquor dealers were

Ferdinand NJ Ney was fined
$1,000 after pleading guilty to in

was assessed $500 on his 'admis-
sion that he failed to pay more

lated that it would pay no more
than the lowest price at which

But now, Col. Vogel declared, the

Mr.. Friedman ascribed the tight
ness of military supplies to the gen.
eral shortage of petroleum products
and to the fact that the military
left with huge reserves at the end
of the war, was completely out OF
the market for about l8 months.
Some Plants Converted.
When the services started buying
again, he said, there was a general

Rosalind Likes Children
BY Ralph Diohton

Lance never cries. Eve let him
cry it out when he was an infant, "
she says, "and now he knows better.
Babies are smart. They are always
testing you, to see what they can
get away with"
Last Christmas some wealthy
friends sent Lance an electric train,
1T was a beautiful toy" says Ros.
1T puffed real smoke. and whistled,
and had bridges and switches and
everything. It cost $3.50 But Lance
never saw it. No 3-year-old boy, -
I said, is going to get $3.50 train -
The train went, instead, to Los
Angeles Children's Hospital, where
more children could appreciate it. y
Fred argued a little with Ros,
finally went downtown and bought
Lance a $3.50 electric train. But
even that didn't satisfy Ros. She
went downtown and bought me
chanical train for $3.50.
TT was the $3.50 train Lance got
for Christmas" says Ros trium-
phantly, and he was just as happy
as if it had been the $3.50 one. AS
it was, he almost propped dead from
excitement"
Brisson leaves the rearing of Lance
largely to Ros and the nurses. He's
busy these days with a new produc-
ton company he and Ros helped
form after he put away his eagle
and left the Air Forces. Together
with Screen Writer Dudley Nichols
the Brissons will start on their first
production next fall.

If this revolved entirely around
the ree-lancers it wouldn't be such
a threat to the Hollywood setup, but
actually players under contract for
long terms to the studios have the
same rights, and are exercising
them, in refusing to do more than
a certain number of films a year.
Studio Loses Most.
For example, Daryl F. zanuck
might call Tyrone Power into his
office, hand him a script and tell
him to get ready to star in that
story. Power, under term contract
to Twentieth Century-Fox at, say,
S4 900 a week, plus bonuses, might
scan his income figures for the year
and discover he is little bit on the
high side. So he could send word
to zanuck that he didn't like the
story, wouldn't appear in it.
Next step would be for zanuck to
suspend the actor over the period
the Aim would be in production,
Maybe Power would be deprived of
$50, 900 in salary, but think what 1t
would cost the studio. Without him.

Not So Mad, This Halter
Walter FlorelI Talks About Some of His
Glamorous Film Star Customers

some hats. When Walter came to
the United States seven years ago
he married an American girl and
stayed here. He set himself up in
the hat business and is making a
fortune.
I'm the man husbands hate and
wives love-" says Walter "a hus-
band once said to me. Some Of these
hats of yours. want to throw them
In the river!'
Have you looked at the price
taga' I asked him. They're s85
EACH
Walter has a theory about why
men say that hate women's hats.
They're frustrated. Men would like
to wear gay hats and gay clothes
But women .have fixed them in
sonber hats and clothes. They've
taken away everything that men
used to wear-diamond rings, fur
coats-and they've labeled them
sissy If man wears them. But
those things belong to men like hair
on the chest. I predict that women
soon will take away cigarettes from
men and say they're too feminine
for them!"
F1orell cites the case OF the Eisen-
hover jacket. This was designed
for Gen. Eisenhower originally. Then
the troops wore it. It couldn't be
considered more masculine. But
after the war. women took 1t up.
Then when a man wore 1t, he
actually looked effeminate!"
Next month Florell is having
very unusual exhibition of what he
calls Historical Hats" in a famous
Manhattan art gallery-"somewhere
like Knoedler'sl" In this exhibition
you will see the famous ribbon hat
that Walter made for Mrs. Harrison
Williams.
"She wanted hat for the opera,
So took few yards of ribbon and
made her hat. What, $75 for
few yards of ribbon?' she said. I
then undid the ribbon and said, No
madam, the ribbon is free!'"
You also will see the red hat In
which a famous society girl COM
mitted suicide, and the flrst beany
that Florell made for the Duchess
of Windsor. In addition, there is
the Joan Crawford hat-for "The
Bride Wore Red" banned by the
Johnston Office because 1t was too
seductive!"
Future Florell hats are designed
to cope with the new long-dress sill
houette. They are very high and
slope backward. "A woman looks
shorter in long skirts My hats will
fit at the back of the head like a
Spanish comb. I think that in the
future men, as well as women, will
dress more and more functionally.
A hat won't be something to attract
attention, but to protect you from
the rain" I'm not sure I like that.
