Buck Jones Dead
Among the dead was, Charles (Buck) Jones, star of western movfes, who died of his burns late yesterday afternoon. Bushnell assigned his assistant, Joseph K. Collins, to conduct the state investig: tion, co-operating with District ..ttorney William J. Foley in findirz all the facts for presentation to a grand jury.

Bushnell, ir’ a letter to Foley, laid down three avenues of investigation for Assistant Attorney General Collis. He is to investigate (1) whether there was any “criminal neg.igence” on the part of “a public (ficial or officials” in the enforcemint of laws designed to pretect the public; (2), whether there had ex sted “a disregard of public safety’ | of sufficient degree “to warrant criminal prosecution of anyone wl ether official or private citizen”; (3) whether there are defects in state laws and Boston ordinances ‘covering fire protection and. safety regulations in places of as .embly” which should be remedied to prevent an occurrence.

He forsees the opening of the Burma road to allow supplies to go into China so that the Chinese “can do some of the fighting for us.” When we “finally run the Japs home” the war will still go on, he’s certain, and it will take land-based planes to finally “clean them out.” The Japs, he said, are long on manpower and short on supplies.

Hitler as a “he-Joan of Arc.” When defeat comes, Casey believes the German army will “toss Hitler to the lions” and the army opportunists will try to salvage what they can for themselves. Incidentally, Casey has an interesting sidelight on the recent scuttling of the French navy. The story has never been given authenticity because “nobody knows what Darlan is thinking.” But the story, he has goes something like this: “At the time of France's fall, Darlan was all set to turn over the French navy to the British. But in the confusion following Dunkerque, etc., the British ran down to North Africa and attacked the fleet. Infuriated, Darlan changed his mind. “In the interim, Petain and Darlan played the cards close to their bellies. There was nothihg else they could do. As long as Hitler was winning, the French had to play that way. Now that we're winning, they’ll swing our way.”

BARBERS FREED
Most Shops to Keep Current Levels Despite Ruling

preme court said that “the individual’s right to engage in a lawful business, to determine the price of his labor and fix the hours when his place of business shall be kept open, except as they conflict with the police power, are personal privileges and liberties within the protection of the Indiana bill of rights.” The state barber board a year ago, acting under the 1941 law, had fixed minimum prices for this county at 50 cents for haircuts and 25 cents for shaves and working hours had been fixed at from 8 a. m. to 6 p. m. except on Saturdays when the shops were ordered to close at 9 p. m.
Most barbers said today they intended to maintain these shop hours, ‘ The high court’s opinion affirmed a decision by U. S$. Lesh, special judge in the Huntington circuit court, who granted Arthur J. Cloud and other Huntington barbers a permanent injunction prohibiting the state barber board from enforcing .the price-fixing and workinghour provisions of the law.

They won't use their gas for going to work—just for pleasure.” One sweet young lady asked innocently, “Why all this crowd?” And a gentleman passenger put it bluntly when he answered, “This is war, m’am.” Indiana motorists started the first day of rationing with not only
milk bottles, full of fuel. Sales Hit Record
in other parts of the state reported all-time highs in gasoline sales the last four days with motorists lining up to the pumps yesterday in lastminute fill-ups. , Many thousands brought with them a varied assortment of cans, bottles and jugs. The operator of a filling station at 4940 W. Washington st., reported one motorist brought 36 milk bottles and had them filled with gasoline.
Ignore Fire Warning Auxiliary containers were filled despite a warning by Fire Chief H. H. Fulmer that there is a state law and a city ordinance prohibiting storage of more than 10 gallons of gasoline above ground unless it is in a “safety” container, one equipped with an explosion-proof spout. The effect of rationing is not expected to be noticed in traffic until the extra supplies dwindle to the rock bottom of rationing, 16 gal-
lons a month or four gallons a week.
Some Face Long Walks
This is estimated to be only about one-fourth of the normal consumption of gasoline in passenger cars. Residents living in the outlying suburbs faced long walks to bus lines or grants of extra gasoline for occupational use in order to get downtown to work. . The balance of the supplemental “B” and “C” ration books will be
occupational mileage. OPA officials announced that all supplemental ration books would be “tailored” to the minimum needs of the applicants. Commercial vehicles are to be issued “T” rations for a minimum of mileage to conduct essential business.
The Situation in the U. S.
Nationally, the situation is this: 1. The plan is designed to reduce mileage per automobile from the pre-war average of 9000 miles to 5000. It will be co-ordinated closely with the 35-miles-per-hour national speed limit and regular compulsory tire inspection. 2. Non-essential drivers will be limited to 32 gallons of gasoline every two months or°2880 miles annually. In some eastern states oil shortages have forced the allowance to be cut to three gallons a week.
3. Essential drivers such as phy-
barber board to fix sanitary regulations in the barber shops, was not involved. The ’41 law, which was sponsored by the barbers’ union, was designed to correct the defects of the 39 law as pointed out by the supreme court in its first opinion. The supreme court in yesterday’s opinion asserted “there is no adequate reason why barbers as a class should be singled out for price regulation.” As a result of the opinion, the state barber board will confine itself solely to the enforcing of sanitary regulations and licensing. No decrease in personnel will result from the opinion, officials of the barber board said.

4. The deadline for motorists to turn in all tires in excess of five per automobile has been extended to Dec. 12. .

Commercial vehicles are to be issued special “T” rations in accordance with the mileage specified on their certificates. 6. Undersecretary of War Robert P.

ns. The 8th army, moving against the remnants of Rommel's Afrika Korps at El Agheila in Libya, has its problems too. As outlined in an authoritative British war commentary, the situation is as follows: Gen. Montgomery’s problem has not become simply a matter of the English tank men stepping on the gas and tearing off over the desert after the retreating enemy. The problems of the chase increase with each mile of advance; conversely, the problems of the quarry decrease.
Supplies Await Rommel The beaten army does not have the great difficulties of bringing up supplies of food, water, fuel and ammunition. It has dumps of them waiting at various points on the way home. As it retreats, the losses of men and vehicles on the way reduce its needs, and the constantly shortening line of communications makes the problem of meeting those needs easier. . The British problems are more complex. When an armored division is advancing in ordinary line of march, it uses up 75,000 gallons of gasoline in the first hundred miles. To carry that amount, 50 trucks are needed. With each additional 100 miles, 50 more trucks have to be added because the trucks themselves use up gasoline.
