THOMPSON ASKS
ARMY BUT TEXAS
GASOLINE SURPLUS
AUSTIN. April 23 <UP>—Col
Ernest O. Thompson, chairman of
the Texas Railroad commission, to-
day made a counter-proposal to the
suggestion of Wright W. Gary, di-
rector of the refining division of
the office of Petroleum Coordina-
tor. that an over-suppty of gasoline
in the southwest be burned or put
bacV in the ground.
Thompson s proposal was for the
government to buy the surplus
gasoline for Army use and store it
near Army camps.
The over-supply of gasoline.
Thompson said, is a by-product of
government contracts for 100 and
91-octane gasoline for aviation
fuel, and the government might
might to advantage also buy the
rdinary gasoline and nae It id
the Japanese no rest, and it is like-
ly that many more guerilla detach-
ments now are operating there,
particularly in the wild Zam bales
mountains.
Several of the bravest and most
astute American officers in the
islands and some of the outstand-
ing Filipino leaders are with these
bands, whose daring forays al-
ready have made headlines. Two
of their most devastating raids
were on a Japanese airfield near
Tuguegaro and the ambush of a
Japanese battalion on a mountain
road between Ayangen and Baga-
bac. They killed 200 Japanese In
that attack.

The Japanese postponed their
landings on Ceby and Pansy Is-
lands because they realized the

Said Thompson, a regiBlent|l
Army commander until last fall:
“In the manufacture of 100 or
91-octane gasoline, about half is a
by-product of ordinary gasoline of
about 30 to 00-octan* classifica-
tion.
Gasoline Market Pleaded "
“The gasoline market in pro-
ducing areas already is flooded
with many refineries having their
storage full. The refineries mak-
ing this 100 and 91-octane gasoline
are confronted wiht a problem of
what to do with ordinary gasoline.
All the market that can be reached
by transport and all storaga is
filled so there u no market.'’
Thompson compared the situa-
tion to that in earlier days, when
oil was produced primarily for the
kerosene used in lamps. Gasoline,
then was run down gullies, he said
Now, because high-compression
motors used in aviation need a
high octane gasoline, the ordinary
gasoline has become a drug on the
market of producing areas. Refin-
ers are confronted with an unsale-
able product.
“It certainly is an anomalous sit-
uation," Thompson said, ‘with the
east and northwest short of motor
fuel, the very thing we find our-
selves almost drowning in.
“Certainly the frank statement
of Mr. Gary should forever pjit
down any thought of rationing
gasoline m Texas and the mid-
continent areas where gasoline is
a drug on the market.
To talk about rationing gasoline
in Texas would be as silly as ra-
tioning potatoes in-the middle of a
potato field, where the farmer had
no way to get the potatoes to mar-
ket. The cause for rationing is
scarcity. Here we have too much,
as Gov. Coke R Stevenson aptly
explained yesterday."

HEWLETT SAYS JAPS WILL

Apparently th* Japanese were
governing th* Philippines with a
firm hand, and. at the same time,
trying to create a favorable im-
pression on the populace by using
Filipino government and provinc-

Whether they were merely us-

Japanese propaganda, sometimes

Filipino soldiers with propaganda

the announcement said. Officials
Mid that in some cases this prob-
ably would be “soon "

selective service directors that
men with dependents now should
be divided into two classifications
—8-A for registrants who are not
engaged in essential war activities,

However, officials emphasized
that no unnecessary hardships
would be worked by the new rul-
ing. and that all available physi-
cally fit men with no dependents
would bo takes first.
Tboe* who are not engaged in
essential activities 'Class 3-A' will
be the first selected for military
service when it becomes necessary
to induct men with dependents,”
the announcement said
Local boards were instructed to
emphasise two factors in classify-
ing men with dependents
1. Th* “degree of dependency"
which is determined by “the actual
need of the dependent for the
civilian earnings of th* registrant,
regardless of whether or not the
dependent is working or is capable
of working."
2. Whether the registrant's de-
pendents were acquired “when the
registrant had reason to anticipate
selection for military service "
The memorandum also pointed
out that “at present there is no
Justification for putting a man In
class 1-A. or available for general
military service, where there is s
financially dependent wife, child

Degree of dependency should be
determined by th* "measure of
