Quit Worrying
TTliE rather complete and some-
what unnecessary confusion
regarding the subject of gasoline
rationing Is unfortunate.. It Is
not a Kd thing for our war ef
loi't. It could, we think, have
been avoided by a little more co
ordination In the higher places of
government.
As this is written we know that
registration for gasoline cards
will be necessary May 28, 29 and
30 unless this plan Is changed
Wo know, or at least think ive
know, that such registration will
be similar in character to the
sugar registration routine.
As a matter of cold calm fact
there Is no reason to become pan
icky or depressed about this plan
to ration the use of gasoline.
There Is considerable gasoline
and crude oil In America. We arc
not short of oil but are actually
short of transportation and the
use of existing rubber : tires
should be curtailed, they believe
.... the "they" meaning the gov
ernment supply experts. We have
not suffered as a result of the
sugai rationing there is plenty
of sugar to go around It via are
careful, f There is going to be
enough for home canning .opera
tions. ; ' i
The gasoline " rationing plan
will undoubtedly take necessity
Into full consideration. Everyone
knows there Is a great amount of
..unnecessary car driving. The ra
tioning of gasoline will put a stop
to that. The tire curtailment Is
of a different sort and for a vast
ly different reason. We simply
do not have and cannot got
enough rubber to supply all
needs. That is not true with ei
ther gasoline or sugar. There Is
enough of both of these commodi
ties If wo use them sparingly. So
we may as well quit worrying
about something that has not yet
happened. If we actually need
gasoline must have it we shall
quite likely be able to get it.

says, that Japan Intends to "en

TllK allied war plan, as far as
It has been disclosed or can
be guessed, Involves finishing off
Hitler FIRST. It Is assumed that
after Hitler Is finished oft Japan

There are strong indications that
their purpose is to flank Kharkov
to the north and south, rather
than attempting a costly frontal
attack against it.
' The most romantically spec
tacular story concerns Russian
Cossack cavalry advancing under
an umbrella of Russian planes
and followed by long lines of
tanks- These cavalrymen carry
machine guns, rifles, anti-tank
and anti-aircraft guns as well as

He adds:
"Stop 'em In 1942 and lick 'em

Gestapo Tyrant
Trying to Crush
Dutch Resistance
Himmlar's Visit to Holland
Prompt! by Flouting of
Noils, Socrof Aid to All!
(By Fred Vanderschmidt)
(Wide World Analyst)
Hitler's decision to let his chief
hangman, Heinrlch Hlmmler, ap
ply the full fury of Gestapo "Pa
cification" to the Netherland Is
evidence of his fears lest this
hearthstone of western Europe
become one of the main routes of
allied invasion. -
Since Monday Hlmmler Is re
ported to have been In the Neth-
crlantls, organizing his horrors,
and cloaking with Gestapo auth
ority even the loutish Dutch na-
as who betrayed their country
two years ago. -
There are excellent tactical rea
sons fop an allied bridgehead Jo
tne Netherlands, when the time
is ripe for a western land front,
and) situation also has arisen
there which might conceivably
give the allied invaders a e-reafer
degree of skilled and organized
assistance from within than will
be available In other countries,
The Germans themselves admit
that the class nrimarilv resnnn-
slble for the steady growth of
opposition to the occupying forc
es Is the officer personnel 'of a
Dutch army which once totaled
400,000. Among the 96 Dutchmen
recently shot by German firlnc I
squads wore nn unstated number
or Netherlands officers accused of
violating their paroles; later the
Germans said that "all 2,000" of
ficers and cadets still out on na.
role had been arrested.
Allies Secretly Aided
Obviously, however, the Ger
mans have not caught all the of
ficers who had so little chance to
fight in May of 1940. or Hitler
would not have detached Ilimm-
er irom his bloody work in Ger-
many and elsewhere. There are
ample indications that these of-
neers are in frequent contact
with their own exiled govern
ment and their British allies
across t ho narrow lower reaches
of the North sea, and that they
are carefully preparing to assist
the first allied forces to set foot
on the moist, lush soil of Holland.

Hoover Urges Full
Economic Powers
For Roosevelt
NEW YORK, May 21. (AP)
To win total war, says Herbert
Hoover, dictatorial economic pow
ers must be vested In President
Roosevelt.
'There must be no hesitation In
giving them to him and uphold
ing him In them," the former
president declared last night.
Moreover, we must expect a
steady decrease In economic free
dom as the war goes on.
"We must start our thinking
with a disagreeable, cold, hard
fact. That is, the economic mea
sures necessary to w in total war
,are just plain fascist economics."
Hoover addressed the national
industrial conference board on
the topic "The Limitations of
Freedom in War" and while
stressing the need of "fascist"
measures In mobilizing the na
tion's economy declared an equal
need to guard against their being
frozen Into American life after
the war.
Pleading for the retention of
civil liberties by which the coun
try could so stand guard, he as
serted that "from a philosophical
viewpoint" he would like to see
the sixth columnists given a lit
tle more liberty."
"They are defined as the ones
who discuss the war or speculate
or even criticize in private con
versation," said Hoover. "To a
person who Is reminiscent of
American life It would seem that
particular restraint Is too drastic.
lhe American people have al
ways been a debating society.
They get immense satisfaction
out of gossip.
"And all this cannot be stamp
ed out of them by a hob-nailed
boot. It is not sedition. It comes
irom concern to win the war, and
mcy ougnt to be allowed to gos
sip a little without being sixth
columnists.

DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS
Some day death, whom I
have met so-often in other peo
ple's homes, .will come to mine.
That day I shall not lose' my
Master for He, too, was holden
of death. I shall have a friend
who will walk with me down
that dark road, which Ha has
walked before. So I shall
trust Him. Some day failure
and disgrace may overwhelm
me, and I may know what it
means to be hated and to have
those I had thought were my
friends condemn me. But that
day I shall have one friend
who will stay by my side and
know what it means, for He,
too, went through such an or
deal. That Is why I shall trust
Him. Some day tragedy un
reasonable and unfair and un
explainable may crush the
poor structure of my faith and
I shall look toward heaven
with my eyes so blinded with
grief that I shall .be incapable
of seeing the face of God. If
that day comes, I shall seek my
Master and hold fast to Him,
for He, too. cried out in bitter
est agony to God. I am glad
that He did. He has shared
with us our darkness that we
might share with Him the
light. Had He not known the
keenest sorrow I would be
alone at life's darkest. When
thou passest through the wa
ters I will be with thee, and
through the rivers they shall
not overflow thee, for I am the
Lord, the God, the Holy One of
Israel, Thy Saviour. Amen.

More Sugar For
Canning Granted
WASHINGTON, May 21 (AP)
The office of price administra
tion has relaxed its sugar ration
ing program to take care of the
home canning and preserving in
dustry, the office of Representa
tive Short (R.-Mo.) said yester
day. Short's secretary said she was
advised by the OPA that house
wives would be allowed one
pound of sugar for each four
pounds of fruit to be canned, and
In addition, one pound of sugar
for each member of the family
for preserving jams and jellies.
Sugar rationing officials would
supply blanks to be filled out by
housewives seeking additional su
gar for canning and preserving,
it was said.
The strawberry region in the
Ozark section of Missouri had ap
pealed to members of conuress
for Increased sugar allotments. A I
petition received by Short . from I
Purdy, Mo., stated that because of
insufficient sugar, strawberry
prices were so low that there was
some question whether growers
would harvest the crop.

WASHINGTON, D. C, May 21
Some 15 or 20 Items now on
the shelves of grocery stores in
the northwest are to be rationed,
just as sugar and gasoline are ra
tioned. Announcement of the ra
tioning will come without warn
ing for office of price administra
tion does not wish to alarm the
consuming public or afford op
portunity to start hoarding.
While the list is carefully con
cealed for the time being, it is
hinted that it will include tea,
coffee and electric light bulbs.
Principal supply of coffee comes
from several South American
countries. Those have an abun
dance, just as the United. States
has an abundance of gasoline,
but transportation is the prob
lem. The cheaper teas come
from Japan and this stock is al
most exhausted; the better teas
come from Ceylon and other far
east points now cut off by Japan.
Rationing of light globes is to
conserve the elements in the
bulb for war purposes and, Indi
rectly, curtail the use of electrici
ty where power Is required for
war plants. (There Is already a
federal tax on the bulbs in the
new tax act.) Those who prefer
cocoa to coffee or tea will soon
discover restrictions. Certain
spices will be rationed.
May Even Include Bread
And very, very quiet Is main
tained on another rationing plan
being studied. This would allow
so much milk, so much canned
vegetables, so much bread per
person for the entire population.
There is enough wheat on hand
to feed the nation for two years
and rationing bread does not ap
pear necessary but in the study
under way the bread question is
receiving attention. Also vhere
is all the milk this country can
consume, but powdered milk
must be furnished the United Na
tions. Rationing, milk In Oregon
and Washington will seem like a
joke in those dairying states.
While they are about it, certain
of the OPA staff aro toying with
the idea ot rationing clothing and
considering the British type of ra
tioning wearing apparel. This
would require a book from which
so many coupons would be de
tached for a pair of shoes ( heavy
leather is going up), a suit or a
shirt. Wool suits are a thing of
the past except for soldiers; civ
ilians will have to be content
with shoddy.
Traveling Limit Looms
Hints are circulated that Jo
seph B. Eastman, director of de
fense transportation, may issue
priorities for railroad passengers
before, the summer Is over. These
priorities now exist on air lines
and an officer on an important
mission ousts the civilian from
his scat. Dozens of businessmen
from the northwest, accustomed
to air travel, nave been uncere
moniously left at Chicago and
other stopping points after leav
ing the national capital for home
to make room for ferry pilot
The civilian riding a plane may
nave a priority, or passport
sueu to him If the government
needs his services.
Mr. Eastman has already caus
ed the cancellation of several na
tional conventions; others will
follow. Whatever can be done
to discourage train travel Is be
ing done. The travel bureau
agency in the department of vhe
interior has had its appropriation
reduced to 510,000 and'even ihis
Is regarded as waste, considering
the transportation situation. Con
cessionaires in national parks
will lose their shirts for the next
two years.
Only 50 per cent of the anti
freeze produced last year will be
prepared this year.' This is cal
culated as being sufficient with
the disappearance of motor ve
hicles in the next few months.
Next month when the motor
ist pays his "use" tax to the fed
eral government and places a
sticker on his windshield he may
have to tell how many tires he
has left for his car. There arc
many motorists who undertook to
beat the rationing by buying wo,
three or four new tire. To smoke
out the facts on tires it has been
proposed (but not yet adopted)
that the second federal tax period
be used to make this census, with
a penitentiary sentence for swear
ing falsely.

Inlaws Barred
From Sharing In
Pay of Soldiers 3
WASHINGTON, May 21 (AP)
Mothers-in-law, fathers-in-law
and grandchildren won't get any
benefits from a soldier's or sail
or's pay or government aid
to his dependents.
The house military committee
voted such relatives out and sent
the dependents' allowance bill to
the whole house yesterday for
final action some time next week,
after congress decides whether to
raise privates and seamen to a
$42 or $50 monthly minimum.
Aside from ruling out grand
children (which not many dough
boys have) and In-laws (which
more of them are getting), the
committee left the dependents'
bill unchanged. A soldier with
class "A" dependents (wife or
children) would get $20 taken
from his pay check every month.
In addition, the government
would add $20 for a wife, $10 for
each dependent child, $15 for a
child but no wife, and $20 for ,"k
divorced wife legally entitled to'
alimony.
Under this scale, a wife with
four children would receive $20
from her husband's pay and $uu
from the government.
The allotments from a service
man's pay would be mandatory if
he had dependents, but would be
applicable only to lower-grade
men, up to the rank of the lowest
army sergeant and the corre
sponding naval grade.
The payments would not begin
until the fourth month after the
bill became law.
The scale of monthly payments
for class "B" dependents provides
for the government to pay $15 to
a dependent parent, $25 to two de
pendent parents, and $5 to dis
abled or dependent brothers and
sisters. To this would be added
$20 from the service man's pay If
he had no class "A" dependents.
and $5 if he had class "A" de
pendents. A soldier having both
classes of dependents would hajfl
$25 deducted from his pay caun
month.
