gathered honor in Greece and Crete in Syria and Libya and as the continent was thus step by step made more cure the enemy again was spending most of his force in Burma and the Philippines Under the supreme leadership of General Douglas Arthur the Australian General Sir Thomas Blarney took command of these tested returning veterans and of all other Allied land forces American as well as

Coordinator Ickes today directed the oil to supply additional barrels of in- fuel to the east within five weeks The program recommended by the industry itself called for er use of rail and water tation facilities and of eastern re- finery capacity to offset the trial fuel deficiency An oil source said this probably would cause a further reduction of gasoline stocks in the Atlantic board area but Ickes aides de- to predict whether a further cut in gasoline consumption by motorists would be necessary in the populous area where a 20 per cent curtailment already has been instituted The emergency was precipitated by the sinking of tankers and the diversion to war use of others that normally supply the Atlantic board states The heavy fuel ciency centered in New England where there have been reports of threatened industrial shutdowns DEFENSE Germans Continue Raids On Malta No Casualties VALLETTA Malta March third successive day the Malta communique concluded tonight a raid is
