The ordinary machine gun is too
cumbersome for our Marines, espe

Marines have adopted new models
of the Relslng sub-machine gun,

The new gun used by the para
troops is a compact model with a
pistol grip and a steel-frame stock
which folds out of the way when

Troops Need Gasoline
Mr. Roosevelt said the reason
behind the curtailment of gaso
line for less essentia) uses In ihe
east was that while we were try
ing to use anything that would
carry gas by sea, highway and
railroad, there was a situation in
North Africa demanding that
shipments be increased to supply
American troops there.
It is a hurry up order, Mr.
Roosevelt remarked, and it would
take longer to send the gasoline
from Texas to north Africa than
it would from the eastern sea
board. The situation, he said, .'s
something that can not be fore
seen in war lime.
The president himself brought
up the question of A cards, citing
it as an example of how ration
ing and price control operations
were being overhauled and revis.
ed right along.
OPA spokesmen said govern
ment-owned and government-leased
vehicles are operated on T
cards. They said they were unable
to estimate the number.
The officials, said that when
Ickes' deficiency figures arrive,
OPA will proceed as speedily as
possible to put in effect curtail
ment measures sufficiently dras
tic to meet the shortage.
"I think it can reasonably be
said that Mr. Ickes will move
pretty fast," one said.
Ickes was in New York where
he confered with Mavor La Guar.

Ickes May Hit Harder
The New York regional nffieo
of the OPA, through Administra
tor Sylvan Joseph, said it was up
to individual gasoline station op
erators "to determine a mortor
ist's needs and give the motorist
one coupon's worth of gasoline
if the motorist needs it for emer
gency purposes."
One informal explanation n
Washington of what OPA meant
by "emergency was that it was
intended only to see that drivers
wore not standed on the strees or
highways by the cutoff order;
another was that the one-coupon
emergency ration was infeminrt
oniy mr extreme situations "in
volving almost life or death."
The spokesmen declined in
speculate whether the upshot of
Ickes' statement, when it comes
might be more drastic than the
temporary elimination of all A
books in the eastern shortaeo
area; or whether a new slnih in
