More Gas
During the war when there was a
great deal Of concern over the ma
tions gas and oil supply, Congress ap-
propriated several million dollars for
research on the best methods to eX-
tract oil and gasoline from coal and
shale
1t was good to hear that work
along this line has progressed far
enough to prove beyond a shadow of
a doubt that high grade gasoline can
easily be manufactured from coal at
cost of less than six cents per gal
Ion, with oil at lower figure Many
believe that within five or six years
much of the nations oil and gasoline
supplies will come from the bitumi-
nous coal fields of this country with
sufficient quantities available to
supply our needs for some three
thousand years. That is a bright out
look.

to the merger bill. Some Members of

does not actually provide for
merger of the armed force, but in

time yesterday that he had lost both
his legs as the result of a gasoline
explosion six weeks ago.
Dale's father, Howard Richey
came to his sons hospital room and
talked about soldiers who had lost
their legs in the war and how they
had learned to walk again. Then
Mr.. Richey, 37-year-old time
study engineer, told his son that
both mis- legs had been amputated
just. below the knees.
You're going to be III right, son, y
Mr.. Richey told him. But your legs
are going to be shorter than they
were before. They were so badly
burned that the doctors had to take
off the feet. You will have to learn
to walk all over again"
How will I be able to do that?"

Only last Tuesday he had told his

consin next spring for delegates
pledged to Stassen in the State
wide primary. The Wisconsin voting
is the earliest of the presidential
preferential primaries except for
New Hampshire 1t has not yet been
decided whether Mr.. Stassen will
enter the latter primary, although
it is under consideration.
In Wisconsin, Mr. Stassen is ex-
pected to run head-on into conflict
with Gov. Dewey, who has always
been favorite of Wisconsin Re-
publicans. Indeed, despite the fact
that Gov. Dewey in 1914 specifically
requested his friends in Wisconsin
not to put slate of Dewey dele
gates in the primary that year, most
of the delegates were instructed for
him.
Mccarthy to Manage Campaign.
There is strong support for Mr..
Stassen in Wisconsin. Senator Nc
Carthy, who succeeded former Sem
ator Bob" La Toilette in the Upper
House, will be campaign manager
for the Stassen forces in the pri-
mary race for delegates, it was
learned today. It is expected, too,
that the strong Republican organ
ization built up by Tom Coleman
which put across the nomination of
Senator Mccarthy over Senator La
Toilette in 1916, viii line up in large
part for the former Minnesota
Governor.
Wisconsin was the battle-ground
picked by the late Wendell L. Willkie
in 1914 when he started his cam
paign for second Republican presi-
Dental nomination. He failed to
win delegates there, and retired
from the race.
Recent polls taken in Wisconsin,
it is said, have given Mr.. Stassen a
lead over Gov. Dewey there.
Both Gov. Dewey and Mr.. Stassen
are here to attend the dinner of
the Gridiron Club at the Hotel Stat
Ter tonight. Other possible Republi-.
can presidential nominees who will
attend the dinner include Gov.
Warren of California. Senators Taft
and Bricker of Ohio, and Senator

Truman, who is regarded as certain
of receiving the Democratic nomi-
nation to succeed himself, will be
