Steel Basic Factor
In Fuel Oil SHORTAGE,
|Wherly Declares
BY the Associated Press

Senator Wherry, Republican, ol
Nebraska today described steel al
the basic factor" in the current
petroleum shortage. which he sale
is likely to continue throughout this
year and into 1949.
Senator Wherry is chairman Of .
Senate Small Business Subcommit-
tee on Oil, which has been proddine
industry and Government sources
to make more fuel oil available te
small business men.
The Nebraskan told reporters the
committee Is getting more COM
plants" than ever about the scare.
| ity of fuel oil.
But he said the major oil COM
panies are doing a pretty good" jot
of living up to their agreements
with the committee to meet oil
needs Of independent distributors
and small business men as fully a
possible.
No Evidence Of Hoarding.
"Steel is still the basic factor,
Senator Wherry added, noting that
it is required for tank cars, pipe
lines and other oil industry con-
struction.
Senator Wherry said that thus
far the committee has found nc
evidence Of boarding fuel oil at all,
and said the industry is turning out
the product as fast as 1t can.
However, congressional investi-
cation OF the major oil companies
for possible antitrust violations
was proposed by Senator Johnston
Democrat, of South Carolina be-
cause, he said, there apparently Is
"a squeeze play going on to hurt the
small independent dealers"
"It looks like the big oil COM
panies are holding oil OF the market
so the people will be scared and
they can run prices up" Senator
Johnston told reporters.
1T the big companies are doing
this-as indicated in my State
prosecutions are in order"
Investigation Brought.
Senator Johnston said he would
introduce today a resolution pro-
posing the oil investigation. At his
instigation, he said, the Justice De-
partment is checking on the dis
tribution and storage Of fuel oil.
The Small Business Committee
yesterday heard testimony from Max
Ball, director Of the Interior De-
partment's Oil and Gas Division,
that the domestic petroleum situa-
ton is tough
Mr.. Ball told the committee that
domestic crude production is now
about at maximum efficiency and
said gasoline output is being cut to
produce additional fuel oil.
This, he acknowledged, might lead
to inadequate gasoline supplies for
the Nation next summer.
Use of Tankers Probed.
Meanwhile, the Maritime Commis-
sion asked Is major oil companies
to outline the use they are making
OF their tankers and discuss means
Of relieving the oil shortage in
Northeast States at a meeting here
tomorrow.
The commission said it acted at
the request of Chairman Wolverton
of the House Commerce Committee,
who asked for full statement of
the status of our tanker fleet"
An official of the commission said
the object seemed to be to determine
whether the most efficient use is
being made of the tankers. He es-
timated that private Arms have
about $50 of these ships in foreign
and domestic operation.

ers that the money allotted by the
Community Chest Is based on the
cost of living In l942 and therefore
is inadequate for present relief
needs.
The meeting was held In the
Whittier School, Fifth and Sheridan
streets NV, and was conducted by
Leverett A. Meadows, president.

What a Dancer!

to the recent article on dancing
here's the mems side of the story:)

with Janie-smooth-lo oking-yes,
but what a dancer! She really be-
lieves in equal rights for women.

that it initiates you to be pushed
around. Don't worry though-even
the Sharpest of fellas have made
mistakes

never forget the girl he "fondly'

also the last), M didn't say a

In answer. She didn't even let Jim

Then there's the story of Tom.
Poor guy, he really isn't Frank

he was during one dance. Clammy
hands, frightened eyes-all this was
a part of his partner. She wouldn't
be such a bad dancer If she'd relax

with the enemy and destroy him.
The sole function of all other units
in the army is to supply, maintain
and serve the combat soldier; and
the number of such combat troops
is the true criterion of the effective
force of the Army.
Measured by this standard, the
effective force of our present peace
time Army is practically nil. There
are perhaps less than 10000 disable
combat troops now wearing the
uniform in the entire U. S. Army
The Second Division, now station
ed at Fort Lewis, is the only re-
gular infantry division in the u. S.
and its strength Is only two-thirds
of wartime standards. When call
ed upon to parade, II cannot make
even as good a showing in point of
numbers as, for example, the 442nd
Combat Team during Camp Shelby
days This is in no sense Il reflec-
ton against the Second Division
but a commentary upon the sad
state of the entire Army. less than
three years after We Day.
Small wonder, then, that our gov
eminent feels that the nucleus of
our ground forces is inadequate. A
campaign is now under way to re-
cruit overseas veterans into some
famous divisions, including the End,
Bird, 4th, 5th. and 9th infantry di-
visions; the End and Bird armored
divisions, and the 82nd airborne
division. If voluntary enlistments do
not fill these outfits up to full
strength it can be expected that the
long arm of the draft will be called
upon to make up the difference.

THE PRESIDENTS TALK

Last week, President Truman's
message to Congress was broadcast
over the nations networks and
aroused more interest among the
citizenry than perhaps any other
TALK he haa made during recent
months. III his message, the Pre-
sident dwelt upon the grave inter-
national situation and urged that
Congress approve universal mill
tary traIniNs and, in the meantime
enact legislation to permit the
drafting of men to bring up the
armed forces to their full author
ICED strength.
The Presidents message reveal
ed the fact That the Red menace
Is no longer a topic to be officially
ignored for fear of arousing the
senslLilities of Soviet Russia. On
the contrary, the Russian shadow
is now acknowledged as being the
gravest of all threats to world
peace anu our own national securi-
ty. From now on, we may expect
that American foreign policy will
be openly and aggressively directed
to the enc that the Red menace
he held at bay.
Significantly enough, no respon-
sible voice arose to accuse the
President of "warmongering" Thus,
while lie present situation is re-
miniscent of 1888 and early 1899, it
differs from that of prewar days
in that one important particular.
Although revival of the draft and
extensive military training is an
unpleasant thought to nation
which is still paying the bills of
the last war, public reaction to the
Presidential message was, in gen.
cral one of quiet acceptance of the
inevitable.
The American people, of course.
do not want war, and the prayer
of the common man is that inter-
national difficulties may somehow
be composed without resort to the
use OF ultimate force. But, on the
other hand nothing is to be gained
by emulation of the ostrich. The
frank facing of realities by the
American government Is we feel.
our greatest safeguard and our
firmest guarantee against another
war. For this reason, we are glad
that Mr.. Truman spoke out, and
we trust that he will continue to
maintain a fortnight attitude To-
ward world affairs.

Then, then (methinks) how sweet

That liquefaction of her clothes.
Not so today. The totalitarian
rustic of fashion has undertones as
ominous as the new candy-striped
petticoats. Julia-who once swore
she would never, never go into those
horrid long skirts-now meekly ex-
changes yesterdays freedom for to-
days silken slavery. The harried

new wardrobe, might well murmur:

Seek NeWTrial for
Rape Charge Victim

NEW YORK March 15.-In a
last minute effort to save the life
of 2O-year-old Samuel Taylor,
convicted of rape by an Alabama
court, attorneys for the NAACP,
filed a petition with the Supreme
court of the United States, seek
ing a review o fthe judgment of
the Alabama Supreme court which
confirmed the death sentence i'm
posed by the circuit court of Mo-
bile county.
Charging that the youths con-
viction was obtained through the
use of a confession extorted by
force, violence and fear, in viola
ton of the 18th amendment, the
NAACP petition seeks a new trial
free from fear. Pending the re-
view of his case, Taylor has been
granted a reprieve by Gov. James
E. Folsom until April %.
AAested with three other Ne
gro youths in the small town of
Prichard, Ala, nearly two years
ago, Taylor was charged with the
rape of a 14-year-old white school
girl. Removed to the city Jail, he
was grilled, brutally beaten and
otherwise mistreated by several
police officers for a period of
four consecutive nights, the pc
tition alleges. His companions,
charged with robbery, were SINH
larly brutalized.
In fear of his life, Taylor con-
fessed to the crime which the po-
lice accused him of having com
mitted. Because of this fear, he
failed to call to the attention OF
the attorney appointed to defend
him the violent means by which
the confession was extorted. He
was convicted by the Alabama
court November 10, 1916.
Following his conviction and 6

preme court, his attorney filed the
