NOBLESVILLE, Ind. July 9 (U. P.) —D. C. Stephenson, former grand dragon of the Indiana Ku-Klux Klan now serving a life term in state prison for the Madge Oberholtzer, yesterday began his 11th attempt to secure his release through court action.

‘FIRE PAY PLEA]
Men Request est. 51 a - Day Hike; Labor Unions Petition Safety Board.
A renewed plea of firemen and policemen for a $l-a-day pay in-
crease, effective Jan. 1, 1943, has
been presented to the safety board. During the past week, labor unions have sent letters and telegrams to the board, asking that the pay raise be 'spproved for men in' the two departments but the board has not included the raise in the part of its budget already sent to Mayor Sullivan.
Raised Last Year
Board members point out that the members’ of the two departments were given raises last year amounting to from $50 to $75 and since that time many commodity prices have been ‘frozen. Board members also. add that there are also many commodities now which are not even available. The in-
crease would mean an additional}:
4% cents on the tax rate, they say. It was the feeling of the board "today that the men of the two departments were comparatively “well one since their salaries gre now in the $2000 bracket, or above, with “fine” pensions included.
Cite Living Costs
A petition was presented to the board a month ago asking the board members to give consideration to the request fcr increases in the salaries of firemen and policemen. It set out that increased living costs required higher salaries for members of the two departments. The petition also claimed that the average pay of city police and firemen is considerably lower than for similar departments of other cities of like size in the United States. Representatives off the employees pointed out that they have been called upon to give assistance in the civilian defere program and have co-operated ‘Wholeheartedly.

‘WITH THE BRITISH ARMY: IN EGYPT, July 7 (Delayed) (U. P))—At dawn today in’ the desert the crew of a British battery. of 25-pound guns fried their breakfast of sausages over a fire made out of a gaseline tin. ’ They filled the tin with sand and poured gasoline over it. It made an excellent stove. “These sausages are nicely done,” remarked Richard D. McMillan, United Press correspondent, to the cook. “It’s my business,” the cook replied, “I run a fish and chips shop in Sheffield.” Mr. McMillan asked what the men talk and think about out here, especially about the recent war debate in the house of commons. : ; “We have. been too busy fight ing for weeks to talk or think about it,” the cook said. “We're getting on with the war.” : As he dished out the sausages to the men the battery went into action and sent its first shells screaming through the morning sunlight smack into Marshal Rommel’s lines.

List Other Exception
An OPA statement said that “special rations” ‘would be given any bona fide candidate for public office for “purposes essential to the prosecution of his candidacy.” The same rations also will be avail able, if need can be established, for election officials and for cars taking persons to the polls to vote. Other activities for which “s cial rations” may be obtained in clude: * Obtaining medical treatment; operating a car or boat held for sale for demonstration purposes; transporting personnel and equipment of scientific expeditions, and operating a vehicle in bona fide pests or experiments ‘essential to the war effort. The regulations also set up provisions for a.50-mile “buffer” zone at the western boundaries of the rationed area, but Price Administrator Leon Henderson said an alternative plan was under consideration to take its place.
Buffer Tone Rules
Under the plan tentatively adopted, motorists from the rationed area may not buy gasoline in the buffer zone unless they present their regular ration cards. The provision would become effective July 31. Motorists residing in the buffer zone would buy gasoline for their own needs freely, however. Throughout the rationed area, stickers identifying the class of ration issued to the motorist will be pasted on windshields of the automobiles. As was previously announced the basic “A” ration coupon book will contain 48 coupons, with a value of four gallons each. “B” and “C” coupon books will take care of supplementary rations for motorists. “D” books will be issued motorcycle owners, “S” books to truck owners and “E” and “R” books to non-highway gasoline users.
NASHVILLE RUMOR SOARS GAS SALES
NASHVILLE, Tenn. July 9 (U. P.).—Nobody knew how the rumor started but the word got about Nashville last night that gasoline rationing would start here today and by 8 p. m. every filling station in the city was jammed with motorists seeking to “fill her up.” By 9 p. m., they were bringing cans, jugs, hot water bottles and other containers to hold extra gasoline. By 10 p. m. some filling stations were hanging out the “sold out” sign, with cars lined up for blocks waiting for service. There were a lot of red faces today.
