(Washington Evening Star) '
A recently appointed school music
director of a large city comes right
out flatly and says .singing will help
win the war. He says it is one i of
the most important contributions
that civilians can make to the war
effort, and that this holds “even for
those Who are not singers,” but who
try anyhow.
Offhand it is difficult to see how
singing is going to stop the Japs, al
though no doubt it is fully as good as
ping-pong or badminton for that pur
pose, and merits a coordinator if
they do. The work of the non-sing
ers ought to be deadly, however, es
pecially to the sensitive ears of ex-
peras, who automatically wince at
sour notes. Off-key songs should
make them realize how horrible war
and put them in a killing mood;
very desirable if there were any
Japs around, but not so good if the
only logical objectives are the sing
ers themselves. The song, considered
as a weapon, should be used very
cautiously by the amateur or bath
tub songster, lest it take on the
characteristics of another weapon,
the boomerang.

transports, each loaded with seven
new army jeeps, left late today for
Little Rock after an overloading
controversy between Arkansas and
the transport company had been set
tled on request of army officials in
Washington.
Chief Engineer W. W. Zass of the
highway department, who came here
to lead negotiations after the huge
motor transports were stopped at a
weighing station, said that Governor
Adkins had reached an agreement
with army officials.
“Governor Adkins had discussed
the situation with the quartermaster
general’s office in Washington and
they requested that the transports
nor,- enroute be released,” Zass re
lated.
Release of the transport's was sub
ject to the condition Urey would net
exceed a 35-mile-per-hour speed.
Zass -said another condition was

MOTORISTS FACE SHARPER
GAS CUT
Washington, April 7.—Further cur
tailment of gasoline supplies for
motorists in- the East appears inevi
table, Ralph K. Davies, deputy pe
troleum coordinator, said tonight.
He declined to discuss the exteqt
of any new curtailment but oil sourc
es indicated that supplies at filling
stations would be reduced probably
within a week by one third below nor
mal as compared with the 20 per
cent cut now in force.
“It is perfectly clear, in the
light of the critical stocks and trans
portation situation” Davies said that
the 20 per cent reduction is not
enough. The curtailment will have
to go deeper than that.”
He gave assurance that the gov
ernment and the oil industry were
working day and night to bring a-
bout relief for the transportation
emergency caused by submarine sink
ings and war diversion of tankers.
“When moving oil into this market
means the loss of life and the loss of
ships, he said in an interview, “we
are not justified in providing more
than the essential minimum.
The deputy coordinator reported
that the curtailment system now in
effect, through a limitation of sup
plies to filling stations, was working
“surprisingly well.” Meanwhile gov
ernment experts are working out a
card rationing system for gasoline in
the East and in Oregon and Wash
ington.
! Little Rock, observe maximum load
regulations.
During negotiations for the settle
ment 430 other jeeps were held up at
the Toledo factory. The Little Rock
depot is supply station for the south
west.
Louis Tarlowski, Little Rock at
torney for the S. and C. Transport
company, said the situation was com
plicated by an army regulation a-
gainst unloading, switching or inter
changing of the loaded jeeps enroute
from factory to depot.
The army put that regulation in
effect because of fear of sabotage,”
Tarlowski explained.
Arkansas law limits highway loads
according to tire sizes, the maximum
load being 16,000 pounds gross per
axle for 9.75x20 tires. State High
way director W. W. Mitchell said the
transports were equipped with var
ious size tires and that in some in
stances were overloaded from four
to five tons.
Mr. Franklin Hanna of Cross Hill
is now employed at the J. J. Lang
ford furniture store, having taken
the position left vacant by M. C.
(Doc.) Bowers who had 'been with
-the firm for more than ten years. He
is now in the armed services of the
country. Mr. Hanna married Miss
Margaret Sease, a Newberry county
girl.
Mr®. Ida M. Wylie, Misses Isabel
Kennedy and Rachel Wylie, of Spar
tanburg, sisters and niece of Dr. R.
M. Kennedy spent Thursday with Dr.
and Mrs. Kennedy at their home on
Harper street.
