tag in the wake of the Sim Canal cldsing. Other European countries had imposed a modified form of rationing by limiting supplies to distributors. Earlier in the day. France announced a quota system for bulk users of fuel oil in the shipping and transportation system. It lakes effect at midnight Wednesday. The British emergency decree covers all petroleum users except hospitals and schools. Ordinary motorists, Jones announced. will be allowed a basic ration for travel equivalent to 200 miles a month. Essential users will be given supplementary coupons. Jones said the first ration books, a grim reminder of wartime when practically all Britons had to abandon their cars to garages, will cover a four-month period from Dec. 17. Experts said, however, that

rationing probably will have to continue through most of 1957. Denton Reelected By Only 696 Votes Final Congressional Results Are Listed INDIANAPOLIS (UP) -Democratic Rep.

Air Force General Succeeds Gruenther Commands Allied Powers In Europe PAIRS ((W) — U.S. Air Force Gen. Lauris Norstad succeeded Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther today as supreme commander of Allied powers in Europe in a move pointing up the growing role of air power in modern warfare. It was the first time an airmen has taken over the reins of the combined command and was tacit recognition that air power has become the foremost weapon in defense of the Western world. The actual turnover came during a brief ceremony at the rambling SHAPE headquarters, located in what was once the private hunting grounds of the kings of France. Both Grunther and Norstad spoke briefly to an audience of military men and units from each of the 15 North Atlantic Treaty Organization countries and a host of Paris dignitaries. Grunther, who was slated to retire from the Army Jan. 1 after 38 years of service and become president of the American Red Cross, returns to the United States byway of Canada later this week. Norstad is already well acquainted with SHAPE. He served as Gruenther’s aid deputy for three-years, and for two years prior to that was commander of SHAPE'S central air force.
