coast may suffer a gasoline shortage
in the months ahead similar to that on
the eastern seaboard, where to con­
serve gas the filling stations are
closed al 7 p. ni. to 7 a. m. The cause,
if it comes, will be the same diver-
sion of tankers, thia time to assist
the Soviet. Already tankers are tak­
ing on oil and gasoline on the west
coast and.have orders to deliver it at
Vladivostok. Certain west coast tank­
ers have already been assigned to
carrying oil to the British, taking, on
cargo in the Far East and traveling
aimoat half way around the globe to
deliver it to British forces in the Red
sea. Railroads serving the northwest
own tank cars and these will be ready
for use if there la a shortage.

Senator Wheeler’s use of his frank
to distribute one million postcards
caUing, in effect, for a referendum on
war, recalls the opposition to prevail­
ing extensive abuse of this privilege
so frequently voiced by Jim Farley
while he was postmaster general. Mr.
Farley insisted he could save the
government a vast sum of money if
the congressional frank was used le­
gitimately for official mail to mem­
bers. However, Chairman Michelson,
publicity man for the democrats,
wrote speeches in the Hoover cam­
paign which were sent broadcast by
the committee under the frank of ac­
commodating democratic congress­
men. Abuse oi the franking privilege
has been a sore point with succeeding
postmasters general for more than a
quarter century, but since its curbing
is up to congress there is alight pros­
pect that anything will be done about
it
