Those Last 4 Minutes

Central stayed with Crawfordsville until the final four minutes, at which time the Athenians broke a

36-36 tie with Bob Clements and

Bill Wright's quick field goals. Phil Hill scored on an out-of-bounds play to clinch the game after Jake Luther of Central had registered two. free throws. Crawfordsville led, 14 to 12, at the

yw Tield goals. Luther and Pete Negley matched the Athenians point for point in the second quarter; still Crawfordsville led, 20 to 19, at the half, Central took a 34-10-33 lead in the final quarter. Crawfordsville tied it again at 34 and at 36, then went ahead to win.

A Favorite Loses

Meanwhile up in Hammond the favored Horsemen from Horace Mann of Gary lost to Frankfort, 45 ot 32, in the afternoon contest. Frankfort, always a tourney favorite, then disposed of Central of South Bend in the night tilt, 28 to 24. : Washington, the 1941 champion, edged past Central of Evansville, 22 to 20, in the afternoon at Vincennes, then nipped the Bedford Stonecutters, 37 to 20, in the final. Central had given Washington its only defeat during the regular season. Burris of Muncie earned its state final berth by disposing of “people’s choice” Wolflake, 49 to 21, in the afternoon at Muncie, then whipping Tipton, 42 to 30, at night,

Burris, a Newcomer

Of the four finalists Burris never has ‘won a state championship. Crawfordsville won the first in 1911 and was runner-up in 1916 to Lafayette. Frankfort, with Everett

'29, ’36 and ’39 and was runner-up in "24. Defending champion Washington won the crown in 1930, when Burl Friddle was coaching, and again last year with Marion Crawley as the mentor. If the Hatchets win Saturday night they will become the third state school to win two successive titles. Wingate did it in ’13 and ’14, Lebanon won two in '17 and ’18 and Franklin’s Wonder Fve annexed three in a row, 1920 through 1922. Washington and Frankfort will be favorites Saturday and since they must meet each other in the first game that leaves somewhat of a “break” for Crawfordsville and Burris. What About Em?

WASHINGTON, March 16,— As|

the limitation on deliveries of gas-

fect in! 17 eastern seaboard states and in Oregon and Washington, I wish I-could promise that it will of short duration, or at least that I could predict reliably what lies ahead. But this is not possible. To hazard promises or risk predictions might well be performing a serious . disservice to American motorists. "There is no basis for extending assurances that the supply situation may not become worse before it becomes better. The shortage of petroleum products in the areas of curtailment arises not from lack of petroleum or its products at their source, or from deficiency in refining facilities. The United States has at this time adequate supplies, of oil and adequate refining capacity.

. Ships Sunk

first quarter as its big center, Don} ; Swarat, began hitting the first of 110", Simculty arises from the fact

his seve

that tank ships upon which the east coast and the Pacific northwest have been dependent have been lost through enemy action or diverted to military services. The shortage fundamentally is a transportation shortage, not an oil shortage. Our problem is not a problem in production, but a problem in distribution. While a large program of ship building is in progress, and many new tankers will be available during the year, it is likewise true that we face further war demands and further sinkings. We must therefore look for relief primarily to overland movement—movement by tank cars, tank trucks, barges and pipe lines. And here I can give assurance to the public to the extent of guaranteeing that everything humanly possible to develop overland transportation to replace water-borne transport will be done, Much has been done. The difficulties which now confront us were anticipated by the petroleum co-ordina-for as long ago as last summer, and the plans then made and put into effect then and since, account for the fact that we are today sufficiently prepared to avoid action that must otherwise have been most drastic. : Tank Cars Helping

In normal times practically all oil is brought to the Atlantic seaboard by tank ship. Today, however, some 435,000 barrels per day are moved to this eastern area by tank car. This is about 25 per cent of the total consumption on the east coast and is equivalent to the carrying capacity of about 100 tank ships. This tank car movement will cost $115,000,000 a year above the normal tanker costs. In the areas affected, this will undoubtedly call for some price adjustments. The possibilities of land shipment have not yet been realized. More and more tank cars are being replaced by various means in other parts of the country and brought to those sections heretofore dependent upon tank ships, and the volume moving overland by rail is mounting weekly.

Pipelines Busy

The operation of every pipe line in the country is receiving attention. Lines that might be ripped up and re-laid to help solve the problem

SHORTAGE OF WALL PAPER NOT FEARED

Although an estimated 12,600,000 tons of paper will be used directly by the war program, no immediate shortage of wall paperis expected, according to Mrs. Jessie O'Neill, manager of the Martin Rosenberger wall paper store, 302 N. Delaware.st. Bleaching agents, which are under strict priorities, are not needed in the manufacture ‘of wall paper. Mrs, O'Neill said,

Huge quantities of paper are used for war—375 carloads of mimeograph paper, 50 million file folders, tons of typewriter paper, 3,7500,000 sheets of carbon paper, 30 million defense stamp albums, 11,000 tons of target paper, four million sheets of paper. for the “Minute Men" posters, 30,000 pounds of blueprint paper for each battleship constructed.

3 WAR. PRODUCTION FILMS TO BE SHOWN

Three war production sound films will be shown at the Thursday evening meeting of the Indiana section of the Society of Automotive Is.

The films are those of the Aluminum Corp. of America, U. 8. Steel Corp. and Bell Aircraft Corp. The Bell Aircraft film is about the Alli-son-powered Aircobra.

according to officials of in the next few weeks, the drive to obtain .this valuable supply will be intensified in order to cut down the anticipated 6,500,000-ton shortage of scrap metal this year. More than 30,000 tons of scrap iron and steel were moved off of Indiana farms in the past four months as part of the national collection of scrap metal being conducted by the U, 8. Agriculture department, This was was enough to help make 2,500,000 100-pound aerial bombs. Some steel mills recently had to shut down their blast furnaces due to the scrap shortage and even more shutdowns are feared if the flow of scrap from farms and cities is not speeded up. The scrap metal collected from Indiana farms is sold to regular scrap dealers who process the metal, then ship it to the steel mills designated by the war production board. Most of the metal from this area is shipped to Kokomo, Mid.dletown, ‘Youngstown and Hamilton, O,, and up the Ohio river from Cincinnati to Pittsburgh. Farmers were paid approxi-

can be salvaged for making war supplies,

Approximately 1,350,000 tons of scrap can be collectéd’ from the nation’s farms, ac ng to the WPB. It is expected that 20,000 tons will be obtained in Indiana in .the next few weeks, Farmers often overlook many small pieces of scrap that, taken together, can make a good col lection, according to J. Kasle, head of J. Kasle & Sons, Inc, scrap processors at 2210 Oliver ave. Mr. Kasle mentioned old pails, hot water heaters, water tanks, stove grates, stove pipes - and .even tin cans. - There is steel in tin cans which can be used, no matter if the can is old and rusty. But Mr, Kasle pointed out. that it is uneconomical for scrap dealers to make special trips to homes to pick up only a basket or so of tin cans. Therefore, he suggested that these cans be left to the city collectors who haul it to the dumps where it is then salvaged. Mr. Kasle also emphasized that it is all right for persons to give their scrap metal away to charie table organizations. These organizations sell the scrap to the dealers who process it for the steel mills

This processed scrap is shipped out every day, under orders from the WPB, to the mills needing it the most,

PACIFIC MUTUAL CO, ADDS TO U. S. BONDS
