The experience with the first convoys was used ad vantageously in improving a service that from the start has given this city a most desirable reputation among the men of the armed forces on the Pacific coast. On this occasion, entertainment was provided for both officers and men. Local people who performed "taxi sen-ice" for the sol diers, between camp and town, were told about the praise that Klamath Falls is getting wherever soldiers meet to alk about civilian attitude toward them.

I Gas Problem IT is clear that there is a need for frankness and a plain statement of all the facts on the gasoline situation in uib vuumry. ; Paul Mallon's column, on this page today, gives a good Idea of the confusion that exists in the public mind, and ixnouuD rr iij IUUUl, 111 LllV CUDt, WlltflC gaBUllllG savings have been urged, has not cooperated as whole- uwu. .uj aa Bvvduiiicuv JlXtiaiB CV1UC11LI.V CApeClcQ. ' What appears to be the matter is that there is no con vincing evidence of a shortage, with authoritative statis tics indicating otherwise. People do not like to shorten their gasoline consumption unless it is necessary. If it is necessary, and they know that it is, there will most cer teinly be public cooperation. In the east, there seems to be a suspicion that people have been called upon to cut gas consumption just to see if they will do it. There was some suspicion of a similar character concerning the aluminum drive. People don't like to be called upon for idle gestures. But we are sure they will be glad to cooperate in any program that is of ivuvi uciicni, ia me aeiense or me countrv. xne peo pie should be taken into the confidence of their leaders , 1 A wag called up to say that Mayor John Houston at last produced the new swimming pool in the underpass. a everything goes all right, Mayor John will do better non rhar WASHINGTON, Aug. 31 This mixed-up mess of gasoline curtailment program in the eastern states is surrounded by so much mystery and con fusion, no one can i.trrtain nh. Jectively today even the basic tact ot wnetner tne program is fully Justified yet. The National Pptrnlmim Nw trnrta mihlirntinn nf th 1nrin. trv. savs stocks' nf rnsollnia nn hand in east coast storage tanks on August 9 were slightly larger than the same wprkpnrt a vpar ago. It computed the total of bar rels men on tne snortage ground at 21 KSfi nnn. A vear man th same eastern tanks held 21,317, 000 barrels. The Audiist 0 u-pplr shnwawl An increase over the nrevious u-lc. U'hfn 21.4fl 000 harrols nf etnan. line were ready for distribution in the eastern area (a decrease from the Atimist. 2 week nf last year when 22,221,000 barrels were on hand). These figures do not indicate a shortage. ON THE INCREASE Mr. Ickes own hnreau nf mines has officially announced, in its routine statistics, the amount of crude oil in stock at east coast refineripc nn Aiiffust 8 was increasing, not declining. It estimated 14 253 000. hnrroU on hand that week, whereas onlv 12.878.000 barrels were luem. bled in the so-called shortage area the week ending August 2. These figures, likewise seem to fail to justify the closing of gasoline stations from 7 p. m. to 7 a. m. or the 10 per cent dis tribution curtailment ordered subsequently.

All Aniln.AmWn r.,. activities were halted summar ily by the Japanese military at Hankow. CONFUSED The confusing publicity which has attended the program from its inceDtion. is based nn the supposition that the transfer of lanxers to tne British has al ready made, or will eventually make which one i nnt clear the shortage. The independent oil people (in contradistinction to the ran. resentatives of the large com panies who now all have repre sentatives working In Ickes of fice) have been onimhlino around Washington that there snouia noi oe a snortage of tank ers. This government, thpv av has announced the transfer nf so tankers to the British and is secretly suoDosed tn nave nmm. ised, 30 more later. Actually only 32 tankers have so far been transferred to the British ser vice. Against this loss of 32. there Should have been many acquisi tions. The Ickes oil cnntrnl aH. ministration has announced that our construction program has Deen providing 10 new tankers every three months. Since the original 50 were designated for British service, we, therefore, should have built 10. The loadline level was raised by thp government, increasing capacity of shipments to the east coast by three tankers. That's 13. Then some ships plying from California to the east coast have been nut on a run from onlf ports, shortening their haul, to the equivalent of adding S. That's 18.

The original mistake may merely have been in let ting such an unredeemable Irri tant as Mr. Ickes get control of the program (instead of, say Hopkins, Jones or Wallace) and in his reliance on the cooper ation of the lafge oil companies, without seeking public- support by frank justification of the necessity. In the midst of confusion, Mr. Ickes has sliDDed off fnr "three WeekS tO a mnnth" vamlmn in seclusion at Mt.

"The nrManratlnM t . - - ...,v u. ijju ei. ficiency of industrv n ut - ' f vita, llj our national defense depends upon our efforts in the traffic control field," he declared.
