the dealers here have assigned four reasons for the threatened crisis: . ONE—"“Panic ordering” by home=owners who fear they won't be able to buy coal when their present supply is exhausted. TWO-—Failure of the solid fuels administration in Washington to direct. sufficient coal shipments to s area. ? THREE—Shortage of trucks for

delivery of coal on hand. FOUR-—Inability of dealers fo ob-

THE WOMEN'S ARMY CORPS NEEDS MORE

MEDICAL TECHNICIANS!

The Women's Army Corps has given able assistance to the Medical Department's tremendous program—by training MEDICAL TECHNICIANS who serve in hospitals wherever there are fighting fronts,

But more and more women are needed—urgently needed—to help In the steadily growing Medical Corps Program.

WACS use their technical training to render quick, sure performance—to help doctors save lives—to help lighten the . load of nurses—whose aid is vitally needed at ‘many tasks.

If you can qualify for training in the Women’s Army Corps Medical Department — see your local U.S, Army Recruiting Station now — right now — about joining with those - who are already engaged in this

vital work!

Strange Dog Seen Another dog strange to the White House grounds has been seen

around the executive mansion in recent days. It was believed this was the dog to which Murs. Elliott Roosevelt referred. Early was agked whether anyone would be “punished” in connection with the incident. He said that was not a White House matter but that if the questioner was referring to the fears of the mother of Seaman 1st Class Leon Leroy of Antioch, Cal, who first reported the incident, Early sald certainly not. Meanwhile T. Sgt. Dave Aks today confirmed Leroy's story that Col. Elliott Roosevelt's dog was given preference over them and another serviceman, as yet unidenti-

mit, and for any reason. Repeals Political Clause

The bill repeals a clause forbidding suspension of any permit on “capricious or political” grounds. | That's the opening wedge. While Democratic permits were being quashed, new permits could be issued to G. O. P. competitors. At the same time, brewery representatives would be called in and “advised” of the eXistence of the new Republican wholesalers. The breweries, always willing ‘to co-operate, supposedly would. This wouldn't be too difficult, since virtually all beer distributorship franchises between breweries and wholesalers are oral anyway. There are few written contracts, and breweries have the privilege of cutting off their supplies to any wholesaler at any time. Thus, even those Democratic wholesalers who continued to operate, possibly would die on the vine when they found themselves opposed by Republican competitors. Meanwhile, it's logical to ask— what will the Democrats be doing? For one thing, they'll be holding valuable distribution and refrigeration equipment which it now is virtually impossible to obtain.

Will Have Agency Allies

~Secondly, they have an important ally in WPB and ODT restrictions on the establishment of competitive enterprises requiring critical materials. Republicans are hoping some of the Democrats will play ball and sell out their equipment. But this is doubtful, inasmuch as the beer wholesaling trade is very lucrative. At the same time Democrats will argue that the state is in for a terrific suds drought next summer and that thus, it wouldn't be a good idea to upset_the business in the middle of this crisis. They likewise will

Loses 48 Hours

Leroy revealed that his emergency leave had been extended five days to Jan. 27, making up all but 48 hours of the time lost ' when he was ordered off the plane at Memphis, Tenn. His mother, grieving over the recent death of her husband, Al Leroy, police chief, didn’t like th publicity brought by the dent. “We've found ourselves on too many newscasts,” she said. They turned the family radio off “till it's all over.” Leroy said that he, along with Sgt. Aks, and an unidentified seabee were ordered in Memphis to surrender their three seats in the California-bound plane. They said the crate housing the bull mastiff occupied another three seats but was stamped with & top “A” priority. Aks said there were 22 aboard the plane when it left New York, “and when we got to Dayton, O., (Patterson field) a dog was put on as cargo.” Aks said he and the other two servicemen had been traveling on “C” priorities, Army air transport regulations define .an “A” priority as one covering cargo “required by an emergeéncy so acute that precedence should be given over all other traffic. . .. ” The same regulations
