No Gasoline Worries Are Necessary Here Now Experts Declare

Washington area motorists have
no immediate gasoline worries de-
spite a 10 per cent shortage in
duced by the oil strike. experts
said last night.
But concern over the long -range
picture was pointed up by a joint
plea by the United States and Brit
ish Governments for all nations
to conserve fuel.
In Washington and London, the
free countries were urged to follow
the leads Of the two countries
which supply most Of their avia-
ton gasoline.
Beginning tomorrow, Britain
will join the United States by cut
ting consumption of high-octane
fuel by 80 per cent. Almost all of
the fuel originates in the United
States.
Like this country. Britain is
cutting air force training to the
bone. Here the military in its
latest conservation move can

Forces Day. May II.
London sources said civil avia-
ton probably will be subjected to
restrictions on world basis be-
fore long.
Strike Darkens Picture.
An already short supply of gaso-
line was aggravated by the 12-
day-old strike Of 80, 900 oil workers
representing 20 unions.
Chance for a quick settlement
appears remote. Industry and
unions will meet Tuesday with
the Wage Sterilization Board to
review the stubborn case. Union
officials said yesterday they were
not hopeful for a settlement
through this channel.

Snlathers Acts
In Protest OF
Cobra Keeping
AP Special Washington Service

AP Special washington Service
WASHINGTON R-The keeping
of cobra snakes in South Florida
has been protested to the Public
Health Service by Sen. Smathers
(D-Fla.)
Smathers' office said Wed. he
took the action after receiving a
number of letters of protest as the
result of an editorial in the Stuart,
Fla, News.
The editorial asserted:
"The folly of allowing so-called
'serpentariums' and snake exhib-
it's in Florida to house the deadly
Indian cobra seems so obvious that
only fools could miss the danger.
If pair of these venomous reptiles
should escape into the Everglades,
within 10 years South Florida could
be infested by the most deadly
snake known to man and within 20
years the entire Southeastern
United States might become cobra
country"
Smathers first consulted the In
terror Department. 1t advised him
that the Health Service two years
ago took over the responsibility of
supervising importation of deadly
snakes for experiments and ex-
hibits.
Clarence Cotton, acting secretary
of interior at the time, explained
further:
"The Public Health Service re-
ported that dangerous foreign
snakes are kept in relatively few
institutions and that precautions to
prevent their escape are generally
good.
"The monetary value of the In
dividual snake is high, which dis
courages many prospective owners
and encourages careful caging.
Keepers are fully aware of the
dangerousneSs of the snakes and
have them housed in such a way
that even a disaster such as a
hurricane could cause the acci-
dental liberation Of few snakes. Z"
Smathers' office said it did not
know how many cobras now are
kept in Florida or where.
A letter of protest to Smathers
said there were at least 200 in a
Miami serpentarium where venom
was being used for experimental
purposes.

The World Today
BY JAMES MARLoW

WASHINGTON R - When he
leaves the White House President
Truman viii have time to look
back upon his presidency and think
of what he might have done if he
had it to do over again.
But even if he thinks there were
mistakes, he may never say so
publicly. He was never a man to
give aid and comfort to his critics,
if he could help it.
1t was this very resistance to
criticiSm-sometimeS that came
back to haunt him in the campaign.
When he was first told cracks
were beginning to appear in his
administration, he used the words
asinine and red herring. The Re-
publicans reminded him of those
words many times in the cam
paign.
That the people thought there
were mistakes was clear enough.
They showed it in the way they
repudiated the Democratic admin
iStration with the astonishing vote
for Gen. Eisenhower.
Yet it was Truman himself who
often expressed faith in the good
judgment of the people. Perhaps
it was in dealing with the people
or rather in not dealing with them
more - that he made a major
mistake.
One of the most amazing features
of the presidential campaign was
the bewilderment expressed by
many people about issues that had
been talked and written about end
lessly: Korea, taxes, prices, Com
munistS in government.
Anyone who talked to people
about the election heard these
same questions over and over
again; Why are we in Korea any
way? Why don't we get out? Why
don't we bomb the Chinese?
What's wrong, when We have to
pay such taxes?
1t was during TrumanS admin.
istration that TV came into full
bloom. Here. ready at hand, was
the most direct instrument any
| president ever had for sitting down
with the people in their own homes
and talking to them.
/ President Roosevelt knew the
value of explaining national prob
lens, and his course of action, to
the people directly although in his
day he was limited to the radio.
Nevertheless, his fireside chats
became welcome and famous.
Truman. with the added advan-
tage Of Tv. made some nationwide
talks. But those intended TO explain
a problem or a decision or an
action that affected everyone we're
/ infrequent.
/ While he -emained absent from
the living rooms Of the nation. his
opponents and critics moved in by
way of the TV window and built
up their case against him. He had
plenty of defenders on TV too.
But Eisenhower viii probably
make lots more use of nv than
Truman did.
