Limited Deliveries
OF Coal Here Asked
To Avoid Hoardinq

Although there is no "immedi-
ate crisis" in the city's coal sup
ply, the District Commissioners
have asked coal dealers to limit
deliveries to customers.
Meeting yesterday, the Commits
sioners decided:
"It is the opinion of the Com
missioners that there is no i'm
mediate crisis within the District
and no occasion for panic buying
or boarding of coal on the part
of the public"
Would Avoid Hoarding.
AS a means of avoiding hoard
ing of coal by consumers, the
Commissioners requested the coal
dealers to limit deliveries until
further notice, however. Dealers
were asked to restrict their do
mestic deliveries Of hard coal to
not more than two tons per Gus
toner. Deliveries of soft coal
were to be limited to those whose
supply was down to less than one
week, and such deliveries should
not exceed one weeks supply.
The statement issued after yes
terday's meeting in the office of
Brig. Gen. Gordon r. Young, En-
gineer Commissioner, said the city
heads "have been keeping in close
touch with the coal supply situa-
ton in the District"
It added that several previous
meetings have been held and that
the coal division of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation is keeping the Commits
sioners constantly advised of the
situation.
Officials at Meeting.
Attending the meeting, in addi-
ton to Gen. Young, were J.
Thomas Kennedy, superintendent
of the District Department of
Weights, Measures and Markets
Vernon E. West. Corporation
Counsel: Roland Brennan, Dis
Itrict purchasing officer; Walter
Fowler, District budget officer;
G. M. Thornett, secretary to the
Board of Commissioners, and
Charles Stofberg, special assist
ant to Commissioner John Russell
Young. 2
Mr.. Young was absent because
of illness, and Mr.. Stofberg acted
at his direction.
Mr.. Brennan reported that the
District institutions are ''in good
shape" as far as coal is concerned,
MIR. Kennedy, who has served as
the fuel co-ordinator in previous
fuel emergencies" said the pub
lie utilities have enough coal on
hand for their needs.

Korea.
The Wet Mimi troops have not
yet started their major offensive
This is scheduled for sometime
early in November, when the
typhoon season ends.
What Ho Chi Mimi has done Sc
far is to clear the path for his
main attack by establishing ade.
quate lines of communication be-
tween Southern China, where his
combat headquarters are estab-
lished, and the plains of Wet
Nam. This area, about 800 miles
long, was sprinkled with French
fortresSes, blockhouses and othei
strong points. Tney were intended
to prevent free communication
between Red China and Indo-
China.
The preliminary offensive, which
started September Is, was fully
successful. The French outposts
held by some $4,000 of the best
troops-Algerian and Moroccan
Rifles and Foreign Legionnaires-
were overpowered and the garri-
sons wiped out.
The new Soviet-trained Wet
Mimi troops showed so much
drive and fighting power that the
French high command-as de-
fensively minded as during World
War II-decided to take no fur
ther chances. 1t evacuated all its
strong points. including the main
fortress of Langson, and left the
field free for the Indo-C Chinese
Communists to prepare their ma
jor assault against the rest of
the country.
The French lost several thou
sand of their best troops. This
was serious blow, although less
serious than the moral effect on
the natives, who are under NOM
inal Wet Namese government, but
in fact are under the rule of the
French colonial administrators.
Loyalty More in Doubt.
The doubtful loyalty of the
Wet Namese people now has be-
come even more doubtful. For
mer Emperor Bao Dai has little
or no popular appeal. The French
government has followed a very
short-Sighted policy in the past
by treating this playboy ruler as
a Joke.
He spent most of his time in
Paris and on the Riviera, not
only because he felt more secure
there, but also because French
bureaucrats would not permit him
even to use his old palace, which
was occupied by colonial admin
iStrators.
Bao Dai was induced to return
to his country and is expected
to reach Saigon or Hanoi this
week. But it is believed that his
temperance in his native land
will make little difference to the
outcome of the military campaign.
A native army could have been
organized in the past two or three
years. 1t is too late now, when
the offensive of the Communists
has started on a large scale.
The overwhelming mass of 5000
million worth of American war
materials will have to be handed
over to the French troops if it
is to be used successfully against
Communist aggression in South
east Asia.

!
China has been placed on tor
priority.
Informed quarters here say
there is no question of sending
American troops to support the
French, who are expected to be
able to deal with the situation
with their own manpower, con-
sisting of about 100000 French
troops and $4,000 natives.
The situation may change. how
ever, if the Reds pour overwhelm-
ing forces into that area. What
this country will do in the event

Communist aggression to the
United Nations, and that organi-
zation decides to act along the
