DATE IN DOUBT

The Gastonia-Wildcat cham

to be held in Legion Stadium
Friday night has run into a
snag. The high school was
promised the use of the stadium
as soon as the Wildcats clinch-

suddenly the commissioners
have discovered the American
Legion Heldivers show is to
be held in the stadium Fri
day. Someone got their wires
crossed and failed to put 1t on
the calendar, and Coach Leon
BrOgden was told the night
was an open date. Brogden
late last night said he did
not know what would be done,
and indicated the Wildcats
might have to play their title

Russia Wants Loans
Direct, Not Through
Britain and France
A,soeioied Press Staff Writer

MOSCOW, July 12.-There is rea-
son to believe the Russians do not
want any one to get the impression
that the Eastern European nations
including the Soviet Union-desire
economic isloation from the United
States or other countries.
Aid in the form of credits is
needed by all the eastern European
countries, and apparently they have
not closed their doors or eyes to
the idea of receiving American
credits, despite their refusal to join
In the Paris conference on the Mar
shall aid-Europe proposal.
While the Moscow press and
radio assailed the Paris meeting and
said 1t was doomed to failure, two
of the best-informed Soviet cor
respondents wrote in Pravda that
the eastern European nations were
interested in getting American
credits, but directly from the United
States and not through Britain and
France
The two commentators. Marinin
and Leontiev, asserted that France
and Britain were not capable of
acting as administrators" of the
Marshall plan. ''
THE fact is, the way they them
selves use American credits gives
them no right to teach others in
this cause" they said.
The article said that there is
no doubt that, for speedy, success
full fulfillment of the planned de-
velopment of the industry and
agriculture of Poland, Yugoslavia,
Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria,
Hungary and other countries, for
eign credits are required.
The governments of these ma
tions expressed more than once the
desire to obtain credits on just
terms. However, in the case of OBJ
tanning American credits 1t is wholly
natural that eastern European ma
tions prefer to do business directly
with creditors, not with meaiators,
which the British and French are
trying to be in this issue"
Informed persons in foreign mis-
sions said direct American credits
to the European nations outside the
Paris conference would not be likely
to be looked on by Russia as an un-
friendly gesture.

Royal Doubts u. 5.
Capacity TO Produce
Enough Oil for War
By the Assoeiofed Press

Undersecretary of War Royal
said yesterday that In the event of
another war the United States
might need as much as 100000
barrels of oil daily-almost 5000, 600
barrels over this years record rate
of production.
Speaking on = National Broad
casting Co. program, Mr.. Royal
said there is a question whether
the productive capacity of the
United States could give us that
much oil"
The last war showed, he said, that
the Army and Navy need at least
100000 barrels of oil a day. But,
he added, future military needs
may well increase that total to A.
000, 900 barrels a day"
To this Mr.. Royal added the
100000 to 100000 barrels daily
estimated as the country's minimum
for civilian use in wartime, for a
possible total of between 5000, 900
and 100000 barrels.
Stockpiling Behind Schedule.
He pointed out that oil cannot be
put into stockpiles economically and
indicated THAT the War Depart
n1ent is depending on Middle East
ern oil production to make up. the
possible difference between Auaeri-
can production and wartime re-
quirementS.
Mr.. Royal and Assistant Navy
Secretary Kenney, who also ap-
peared on the program, said the
country's precautionary Stockpiling
program is running behind schedule
and probably will not be completed
until 1858. 49,
Last summer Congress passed
legislation authorizing the Army
and Navy to store vital materials
which might be needed in wartime,
on the basis of administration esti-
mates that it cost $4,000, 600 900 and
be finished in about five years.
Estimates Increase.
1t is now expected to take about
six years to complete at cost of
s2,5G0, ,OO0, 900, the two Government
officials said.
Mr.. Royal and Mr.. Kenny said
the change in their estimates has
been caused by scarcities of items
needed by the civilian economy"
and high prices-which besides
raising the cost of the project,
caused officials to delay purchases
until prices fell
