Sadler Proposes Oil Route Tactics for National Defense
Railroad Commissioner Jerry Sadler urged using the oil industry for defense by diverting Texas refinery output to fuel efforts and proposing to set fires along the Rio Grande border if invaded. He cited a survey showing Texas refineries could produce over 87,000 barrels of motor fuel daily and a 2 million barrel per day pipe network, arguing that turning off 10 wells into the Rio Grande could stop an invasion.

Italian Spaghetti Naturalized In Dallas Restaurant
In Dallas the Italian village cafe was renamed The Village amid a wave of Italian restaurants changing names. Owners said spaghetti and other dishes are American, not Italian, and dropped Italian from the name to protest Mussolini.
