Military Recreation Center Sought Here Site for a balem Army and iNavy club, which is a project of the defense recreation committee recently appointed by Mayor W. W. Chadwick, will be found by a special survey-fi Senator Asks For Inquiry Into Gasoline Washington, Aug, 21 (fP) A New England senator today urged a speedy congressional investigation to determine whether the east ac tually faces a gasoline shortage, as the defense petroleum office sharp ly reasserts is the case. "I want to learn if there Is an actual shortage or If we are being pushed around for psychological rea sons," Senator Maloney (D., Conn.), told reporters, saying he would ask the senate commerce committee to act immediately on his resolution for an inquiry. Meanwhile, it appeared that auto mobile owners in Washington soon would feel the full force of the cur tailment program. Local filling sta tion operators were informed that one large oil company would deliver to Us retail dealers, between August 16 and 31, only 30 per cent of what they received in July. Senator Maloney proposed that a special senate committee determine If there was an actual shortage of gasoline and fuel oil, and recom mend means of assuring an ade quate supply of fuels for national defense purposes "without undue hardship to business enterprises and consumers generally." He said he would ask that Sccre tary of the Interior Ickes be called as the first witness, If the senate approved the Inquiry. As the proposal gained support, Senator Clark (D., Mo.), said he was especially Interested in learning If it were necessary to cut down American consumption to supply Britain with fuel, or if such steps were being taken to emphasize the "all-out" viewpoint of aid to Brit ain. At the same time, Senator Mc Nnry of Oregon, the minority lead er, predicted that there would be almost solid republican support for the Maloney proposal on the com mcrce committee, of which he is I member. Consolidation of Churches Studied The proposed consolidation of the Evangelical and United Brethren churches was discussed today at the annual Oregon conference of the United Brethren churches. The Oregon conference now is be ing held here, while representativps of th 24 churches in Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho will come here Saturday for another meeting.

Stimson and Gen. George C. Marshall, chief of staff. The last of California's tactical combat troops arrived in the state today to join the 50,000 soldiers of Port Lewis who have been fighting a superior invader force for the past week. Only a few quatermaster units from California are due on the front to bring the defending army's strength to 21,000, biggest maneuver concentration of soldiers in west coast history. There was little activity on the front today. The 49th and 7th di visions from California were busy maneuvering into position on the front. Officers said an attack prob ably would be launched tomorrow on the front from Vader to Shelton Small units will occupy strategic locations elsewhere. Secretary Stimson and General Marshall were expected in the area by tomorrow night. Lieut. Gen. John L. DeWitt, commander of the 4th army, invited newsmen to a con ference in Longview tomorrow noon. It was expected Stimson and Mar shall would be there at that time. RaverWorried By Reports of New Locations Portland, Ore., Aug. 21 The possibility that originally selected sites for northwest aluminum plants may be changed is disturbing, Paul J. Raver Bonneville administrator, said yesterday. He coupled this with the asser tion that delays in selecting sites and getting plants started was cost ing the United States 250 tons of aluminum daily. The Aluminum Company of Am erica's chief engineer accompanied OPM engineers in what he termed a cursory examination of sites and the offer of aid from Bonneville was rejected, he said. "The fact that the Aluminum Company of America engineers are assisting m tne selection of these sites Is certainly significant and disturbing," Raver said, "from the point of view of the future com petitive positions of these govern ment plants n the northwest." Raver said that locations at Spo kane, Tacoma and Cascade Locks were originally chosen by Bonneville after careful study, and added it was essential that the plans be located where power facilities would be readily available. "Bonneville has been ready for at least two months'' to start its lines to the projected plants, he said, and "we cannot assume responsibility for additional delays and addition al costs involved In shifting these sites from the locations originally agreed upon."
