 ROUNDUP
By HUGH FULLERTON. Jr.

By HUGH FULLERTON, Jr.
 BOSTON, Oct. 7.-tR- The con- trary air currents that drift across the Braves Field from the Char les River dictated the Indians strategy for the opening world series game They're probably hoping the Cleveland weatherman will be more cooperative :. The gag of the day was that the weather man, (who foresaw a northeaster and rain) was the first expert to be wrong about this ser ies.
 Even before the game white matched Bill McKenchnie was watching the flags on the grand stand and talking about the eff feet of the breezes on long hits. There won't be any home runs against that wind" said Bill And furthermore I'll bet you most of the homers in this park are hit at night because of the weather con- ditions.'
 Afterward Bob Teller explained that plans called for him to pitch outside to the Braves left-hand hitteis just to make sure none of them would be hitting over the right field barrier 3l9 feet away.
 It was ironic that Tommy Holm es, a southpaw swinger who slices lot of hits down the left field line, did just that to beat Bobby.

committee was announced at Balti-
more yesterday by Judge Emory r.

Judge Niles explained that since
most residents of the two counties
get their fuel oil supplies from Dis
trict dealers, the liaison with the
District was considered the most
effective method of handling their
fuel oil problems.
Upon receipt Of emergency calls,
Judge Niles said, the police chiefs
will dispatch county policemen to
investigate the authenticity OF the
claims. If the policemen find the
report of an emergency is valid,
the two liaison officers, working
with Mr.. Kennedy, will see what
can be done to furnish an emer-
gency supply of fuel oil if any is
available, Judge Niles said.

lRafioning Of Fuel Oil
Next Winter Appears
Likely, Krug Declares

Fuel oil rationing by next winter
appeared likely today as Secretary
of the Interior Krug prepared tx
ask the Justice Department for ar
opinion of 2o-point relief program
for the remaining winter months
proposed here yesterday by the Ma.
tional Petroleum Council.
Secretary Krug told the House
Foreign Affairs Committee yester-
day that while it's too late to dc
anything about rationing oil this
winter, he believes that some form
of rationing may be necessary nexI
winter rather than let people suffer
from the cold"
Meanwhile, in another develop
ment today, the armed services cur
rent supply of heating oils within
the United States was termed lex
tremely low and all plans for con-
version Of heating plants from coal
to oil have been stopped, the Army
Navy Petroleum Board said.
Not Yet Precarious.
1.-THE supply is not yet precarious-
ly low; however" a board official
added.
In connection with the 20-point
relief program, petroleum. council
officials explained this is the first
industry to submit proposed pro-
gram" under the Taft law, recently
passed.
Interior Secretary Krug will sub
NIT the program, approved yester-
day by the council, to Attorney Gen
eral Clark. If Mr.. Clark indorses the
program, Secretary Krug then will
ask the industry to comply.
The council is an advisory body
to Secretary Krug. Industry spokes-
men said yesterday, following an
all-day closed session of the coun-
Gil at the Interior Department, that
if the program receives Justice De-
partment Endorsement, 1t can be
made effective speedily.
Mapped by Committee.
The program was mapped by a
special committee named January 8
by Walter S. Hallanan, president
,of the Plymouth Oil Co., who was
reelected yesterday as council
chairman. 1t was the report of the
committee, headed by DR.. Robert E.
Wilson, that was adopted yesterday
by the council.
The current oil problem, DR. Will
son said, must be solved largely by
local committees and authorities.
The tanker supply is still the main
East Coast problem for the next
month, he said. The council was
informed yesterday that by Md

Trippings Due TO
High Heels Worn by Women

DETROIT.-The city fathers sat
listening to the third feminine claim
ant in n morning ask for damages
for injuries sustained on the side
walks of Detroit.
"Why is it," George Edwards,
council president, asked, "that only
women try to collect money from
the city for falling on sidewalks?"
He got a quick answer from
James R. Walsh, assistant corpo-
ration counsel: "It's simple. It's the
women who wear high heels and
9 out of 10 of the people who trip on
sidewalks are women"
"Has anybody ever thought of
suing the designers of women's
shoes?" Edwards asked.
Nobody had.
The council then agreed to pay
the women's doctor bills.
