Midwestern Senators Ask Trial Of Voluntary Gasoline Conservation

HINT HENDERSON MAY ADOPT PLAN

Conserving Tires Chief Aim, OPA Boss Emphasises in Talk With Brown; Danaher Urges Curtailment In Use of Autos.

WASHINGTON, May 30 (U. P.).—Midwest senators today urged Price Administrator Leon Henderson to try a voluntary—rather than compulsory—program of gasoline conservation in non-rationed areas. One member of the group—Senator Prentiss M. Brown (D. Mich.) —said Mr. Henderson seemed to feel nation-wide rationing ig necessary to conserve rubber but that the government may first try a voluntary system. Now confined to the 17 Atlantic seaboard states on an “emergency” basis, gasoline rationing originally was scheduled to be extended to the 31 other states on July 1 when the East coast system will be made permanent, But officials have said administrative de-|—

Senator John A. Danaher (R.

Conn.) called for a national curtailment program as the “most equitable solution” to the current rubber shortage while Senator Guy M. Gillette urged centralized control over rubber-producing facilities.

Senator Danaher said the shortage is “so real” that a reduction in the use of automobiles in states not affected by gas rationing is “impera- |

woman, or being thrown out of another night club. Besides the actor in his last hours was his brother Lionel, standing on crutches. “Lionel took it in typical Barrymore fashion-—stood up like a man,” Dr. Kersten said. The physician disclosed that John's last words, muttered yesterday, were “Hello, Lionel” Barrymore was the critics’ choice for the greatest Hamlet of his generation. He first played the role in New York in 1922. The reaction was spontaneously so overwhelming, he toured the world and dumfounded a skeptical London audience with his portrayal. After securing lasting fame on the stage, Barrymore left it. Turning to motion pictures, he filmed such of his stage successes as “The Dictator,” “Peter Ibbetson,” “Svengall” and “Raffies.”

Wrote Magazine Articles

Barrymore also had a flair for writing. He had contributed magazine articles for some time unti! 1926, when he published his autobigraphy,. a titilating account of his public and private escapades. It was entitied “Confessions of An Actor.” In Boston, Ethel Barrymore, eldest of three sisters, who loved John as “a baby brother,” was “considerably broken up” by the news of his death, but will appear this afternoon and tonight in the play, “The Corn Is Green.” Thus she abided by the rule of the theater that “the show must go on.”

Former Wives Sorrow

Barrymore never got to see the hundreds of wires and letters from friends like WwW. C. Fields, George M. Cohan, Herbert Bayard Swope, and Monte Blue—afid from fans like the woman who sent him a handkerchief and the Detroit window washer who wired a prayer. Blaine Jacobs Barrie, his wife, called him “darling” in a wire and urged him to get well. Michael Strange, his second wife, sent a telegram. Cohan said: “Believe me kid I am pulling for you with all my heart” Fields, one of Barrymore's favorite drinking companions, sent a joshing message about the amber brew they'd enjoyed and wound up: “You can’t do this to me, John. . . »

A Garden of Horseradish

The fabulous Barrymore lived his last days in what he called his Chinese tenement, a mansion in the hills, alone except for Nishi, his Jap servant, and Nishi’s 12 children. Barrymore tended his victory garden, planted in horseradish exelusively because that was the only vegetable he liked, and spent his evenings with such old pals as Decker and such new found ones as his daughter— whose mother was wife number two. In the mansion, which was stripped of furniture by bankruptey court order, Barrymore liked to call in the press (which thoroughly enJoved being called even if none of the conversation could be printed). With whisky glass in hand he would expound on subjects ranging from love to the kind of saloons available in Ecuador, and from the sensation of smoking opium—which he tried once in Chicago—to the utter impossibility of keeping a wife happy long.

Never Another Just Like Him

Before his death he was down, but he wasn't out. Fowler told at the hospital how Barrymore heard a few months back that his old pal, Winston Churchill, was in the country. Barrymore was feeling low; he'd just been tossed out of a night club. So he phoned the White House, first assuring the phone company he could pay the toll, and talked with Churheill about other, happier days. A few weeks ago, Nishi, the Barrymore major domo, who provided his master with advice on all subjects, with special emphasis on affairs of the heart, was removed with his dozen children to the Japanese camp at Manzanar. Barrymore was disconsolate. He became ill and finally was taken to the hospital, where physi cians sald he was suffering from

ANTI-TRUST LAW ACCORD SOUGHT

Compromise Would Permit Suspension by Nelson in

Some Cases.

By THOMAS LL. STOKES Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, May 30--A compromise has been worked out on the burning question of anti-trust laws and the war program, subject to ratification by Congress where there is still some difference of opinion, The problem has to do with how far, and in what oases, the anti« trust laws may be suspended to permit industry to enter agreements to produce quickly and efficiently for war without fear of prosecution. The compromise would give to Donald Nelson, WPB chairman, the decision a8 to suspension of the antitrust laws in particular cases, with the requirement that he certify his action, along with a full state ment of the case and the reasons, to Attorney General Biddle.

Viewpoints Divergent

This resolves a conflict in which Attorney General Biddle was insisting that his approval be required for any suspension of the antitrust laws, and the WPB, war and [navy departments were holding out for lodging full authority in Mr. Nelson's hands without reference to the justice department, which is charged with enforcement of the anti-trust laws.

which had resulted In cardiac weakening. Still Barrymore didn’t give up. For instance: Fowler visited him a couple of days ago. Said Barrymore: “Gene, come closer and hold my hand while I sleep.” Almost reverently, Fowler took his hand. “Lean over closer, Gene, I want to ask you something very important,” Barrymore said. Fowler leaned closer, “Gene,” whispered Barrymore, "is it true that you are an illegitimate son of Buffalo Bill?" So be it. Barrymore is gone. There'll never be another man exactly like him.

When John Barrymore wag born on Feb, 15, 1882, in Philadelphia, his family name already was one of the best known in the American theater. His father was Maurice Barrymore, whose marriage to Georgia Drew united two of the stage’s greatest families. His mother died when John was a child, and he was reared by his maternal grande mother, Louisa Lane Drew, also a well-known actress,

Stage Debut at 21

His stage debut was at the age of 21, and within a year he was playing important parts on Broadway. For 20 years he was America’s finest Shakespearean actor and leading matinee idol. As a screen lover he reached his peak in the early 1930's. He already had been married three times, each marriage lasting seven years.

His first wife was Katherine Harris, 19-year-old daughter of a New York attorney. They were divorced in 1017. To demonstrate that there was no {ll feeling, Barrymore was a guest at her remarriage two years later, Barrymore's second wife was Mrs. Leonard ‘Thomas, known to the literary world as Michael Strange, author. They married in 1920 and Barrymore's first child, Diana, was born of this union. The marriage was dissolved in 1927. Dolores Costello was Barrymore's third wife, The actor, 46 when he married her—gave his age on the license as 41—said this was to be his last marriage. Their first child, Dolores Ethel Barrymore, was born in 1930, and a son, John, was born two years later.

Then Came Elaine

Three years later Barrymore bhegan, alone, a world cruise on his yacht, Less than a year after his return, he and Dolores were divoreed. His popularity was waning. But he had met Elaine Barrie, born Blaine Jacobs, who was to be his fourth wife, Theirs was one of the most hilarioug and tempestuous romances known to Hollywood.

VOLUNTEER RANKS SWELL

WASHINGTON, May 30 (U. P). —Reporting “America’s awakening” to the dangers of war, the office of civilian defense said today that more than 9000,000 volunteers were now enrolled, an increase of 8,000,« 000 since March 1.

By JOSEPH L. MYLER United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, May 30-—They tried it before and failed. “But this time,” Edward Page CGlaston said today, “we've got a fresh movement with plenty of punch. Prohibition is coming back and it's coming back to stay.” The forces of prohibition are on the move again—as they were in the last war. They have a blue print for making the country dry for keeps... The plar, ae Gaston outlined it, has three steps: 1. Dry up all military camps and establishments. 2. Dry up all war industrial areas. 3. Dry up the entire country. “When prohibition comes in as a temporary wartime measure,” Gas ton said, “that will give us a chance to rally our forces and nail it down

The compromise was reached in an open session of a senate judiclary subcommittee, headed hy Senator O'Mahoney (D. Wyo.) before which Attorney General Biddle and Undersecretary of War Patterson appeared to present viewpoints somewhat divergent, This compromise, it is learned, would be acceptable to Thurman Arnold, assistant attorney general in charge of anti-trust prosecution, though he would prefer a requirement of approval by the justice department which hitherto has been the rule under an executive order issued some time ago by President Roosevelt,

Critical of Leniency

He has heen critical of what he considered a too-lenient attitude in WPB and the war and navy depart« ments toward suspension of anti trust laws in the name of war neecessity. Senator O'Mahoney called the public hearing because of an exist ing legislative situation. There is now pending in conference between house and senate a bill to assist small business, to which the house attached a rider giving Mr, Nelson full authority to suspend the antitrust laws where necessary for war production without any reference to the justice department. The senator wanted to bring inte the open the opposition of the jus tice department, as well as that of numerous senators, including hime self, to “by-passing” the justice department and, as the senator saw it, nullifying the anti-trust laws for the duration of the war.

Supply Minister Indicates Anger Over U. S. Order

For Deportation.

CANBERRA, Australia, May 30 (U. P)~J. A, Beasley, supply min« ister in Australia’s militant labor government, announced today that there was no legal bar to the return of C. I. O. Leader Harry Bridges to Australia and by implication rebuked Attorney General Francis Biddle for ordering his deportation as an undesirable. “Determination of the desira« bility of any person is a matter for his own country to decide,” Mr, Beasley said. “Bridges might conceivably be the greatest social reformer ever seen here, “Another country’s court decisfons regarding the desirability of any Australian plan cannot be regarded as acceptable to the Australlan viewpoint.

Codes Differ

“For instance, the effect of Industrial activities is more important to Australia than to any other country. Australia’s code of industrial conditions and the rights of unions and workers to organize is on a different level from those of other countries. “I'he men who fight to obtain these conditions in Australia might reasonably be regarded as undesirables elsewhere. The whole question therefore resolves itself into a decision as to which country these conditions are applicacable.”

No Legal Bar to Return

Solicitor General Sir George Knowles had been asked to check Bridges’ status as an Australian citizen as soon as newspapers published Biddle’s deportation order. Mr, Beasley made the announcement for the government as acting attorney general. It had been necessary, Mr. Beasley said, to find whether Bridges had forfeited his citizenship. He sald it had been established that Bridges was a British subject and a member of the Australian community, and there was no legal bar to his return.

Begins Fight Against

Deportation Monday

SAN FRANCISCO, May 30 (U. P). — Harry Bridges, West Coast labor leader, starts his fight against deportation to Australia as an undesirable alien on Monday when he voluntarily will accept a warrant of arrest, Service of the warrant will start the legal machinery, leading to the United States supreme court, by which Bridges will attempt to prevent execution of the deportation order. I. F. Wixon, district immigration director, received the warrant late vesterday and agreed to postpone service so Bridges could attend a meeting of the state C. I. O. council in Fresno where he broadcast a national appeal last night for workers to “keep fighting the common enemy.” To laboring men, he said: “This is one fight, but the main fight is still against Hitler and Japan. The main fight is still for more war weapons, more Ships, speedier loading and operation of ships to supply the fighting men. We can let nothing deter us from this job.”

U, S. MERGHANTMAN SUNK IN CARIBBEAN

NEW ORLEANS, May 30 (U, P). —Three torpedoes sank a mediums= sized U.

The first torpedo crashed into the portside shortly after midnight, killing the six men. A few seconds later another torpedo hit the same side and the 29 survivors began to abandon the ship. After they took off in two lifeboats, the ship was struck by the third torpedo and sank at once. The submarine then came to the surface but did not molest the survivors. After spending 39 hours in lifeboats, the men were picked up and taken to Mobile, Ala.

3 SUBS SUNK IN BRAZIL WATERS

U. S. Fliers Join in Blows; Hoosier Helps Bag Raider That Hit Blakeley.

RIO DE JANEIRO, May 30 (U, P.) —Brazillan and United States fliers sunk three submarines off the Brazilian coast between May 22 and last Wednesday, United States military quarters asserted today.

The Brazilian ministry of aerow nautics, in a communique, had claimed only one of three submae rines as definitely sunk, but the United States quarters said there could be little doubt that the fliers had gotten the other two. The actions off the northeast Brazilian coast were described ag follows: On May 22, an American-made North American B25 medium bombe= er, commanded by Capt. Oswaldo Pamplona of the Brazilian air corps, Lieut. Horta, c-opilot and Lieut, Schwane and Sergt. Yates of the U. 8. army air corps, acting as ine structors, sighted a submarine, They dropped their full loads of bombs on it,

26 Depth Charges Dropped

The following day, a Catalina flye ing boat, manned by a United States crew, located a submarine, It sume moned naval patrol vessels which dropped 26 depth charges over an area so wide that, according to military circles, there could be lite tle doubt the submarine was dee stroyed. Last Wednesday another North American B-25, manned by an alle Brazilian crew, located, attacked, “and certainly sunk” a submarine, This was the action to which the Brazilian communique of yesterday referred.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, May 30 (U. P.).~The axis sumbarine which torpedoed the United States dew stroyer Blakeley was sunk. by an American plane with four hombs in four minutes, it was revealed offi« cially today. The report of the action to Rear Admiral John H. Hoover, come mander of the eastern Caribbean and 10th naval district, said Ensign E. G. Binning, New York City, com= manding a patrol plane, spotted the submarine on the surface off Mare tinque Wednesday.

Attacked at Low Level

He attacked from a height of only 50 to 100 feet. Two bombs dropped on the port and starboard sides of the submarine as it was submerging, exploding five feet aft of the conning tower and blowing the submarine back to the sure face. The plane passed over it again and Machinist's Mate Wile liam M. Howell of Blakely, Ga., poured 40 machine gun bullets into it from the plane's port blister, “It just settled,” Howell reported, “it didn’t dive.” Howell saw something white on the submarine—‘“a big cross or poge sibly an emblem of some sort.” The others of the plane's crew were Thomas Oelberg, Sumner, Ia, co-pilot, and Walter E.
