Private Firms
To Ship Europe
Supply Of Oil
By RICHARD C. SIZEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON (HE)- Oil from
U. S. private firms probably will
begin arriving in West Europe
late this week to help alleviate
the shortage there caused by the
blocking of the Suez Cinal.
Hugh A. Stewart, director of the
Interior Department's office of oil
and gas, said private firms have
had difficulty getting their tank-
ers re-routed to West Europe but
the situation is about to' be
remidied.
Although reports filed in his
office show no increase yet in
U. S. oil exports to Europe, a rise
is expected by the end of the
week.
Two weeks ago West European
countries began all-out efforts to
purchase oil privately from U. S.
firms. This action wag taken when
the United States refrained from

The U. S. government has not
interfered, however, with private
purchases of oil in this country by
European nations.
The government's original plan
to supply West Europe with oil
was nvide when Egypt national-
ized the Suez Canal and Britain
and France feared their shipis
might be blocked from using the
waterway. But when Britain and

force and occupied the canal zone
—a move this country strongly op-
posed—the United States held off
on carrying out its plan even
though the canal was blocked by
sunken ships.
An official has said, however,
the government will put its plan
into effect once the Suez situation
has stabilized —presumably when
the United Nations police force is
established in the canal zone and
British and French forces are
withdrawn.
The original government plan
called for polling the resources of
15 major oil companies to help
West Europe make up its oil defi-
cit. Stewart said the pooling plan
could, through greater efficiency,
assure Weft Europe of possibly 20
per cent more oil daily than could
be supplied by the private firms
on an individual basis.
The government plan also would
havi' an advantage from a cost
standpoint. At present Britain
France and other West European
countries are paying cash on the
open market for oil. Credit

ernment plan.

National Cat
Wook Is Over.
Some Are Glad
By ALINE MOSBY
United I'ress Hollywood Writer
HOLLYWOOD With Na
tional Gut Week over, Mrs. James
Mason has a confession: That rep
utation she and her husband have
for cats is all a mistake.
The Masons, it's tine, have II
cuts in their menage, and I visit-
ed the four-footed members of the
family during National Cat Week
because the Masons are Holly-
wood's most famous cat - owners.
But Mrs. Mason, a brunette
dressed in pink from shoes to ear-
rings, sighed thut it's all a fraud
in a furry sort of way.
"We love cats, but 11!" she
sighed. "The idea is to have two
cats. It's all a tremendous mis-
take."
The great cat caper began when
Mason and Pamela met in Eng-
land. She owned a Siamese and
Mason was inspired to adopt a
stage door tabby. By the time
they were married they owned two
cats apiece.
"Then once we lost our white
cut, Whitey, on a train and it caus-
ed a great to-do," Mrs. Mason
said. "We found him 24 hours la-
ter—he had crawled under a
seat. The story got out because
James is an actor and fi'om that
moment on we've never had a
moment's peace with cats.
"When we arrived in this coun-
try eight years ago with five cats,
this same Whitey had ezcema. We
put a big collar around his neck
so he couldn't bite himself. When
the'photographers saw that, well!"
She added thoughtfully, "Whitey
died last year of heart failure. He
had been on digitalis for a year."
Some Hollywoodites adopted the
Masons as cat fanciers. Judy
Garland gave them a cat; other
critters arrived from fans and
friends. The Masons now are own-
ed by 11 cats.
Their large home has to be di-
vided into three sections, with va-
rious gates and rules, so that the
cats who get along with each other
will be seperated from those they
fight with. Daughter Portland's
playroom was transformed into
"our cat room" where the 11 fe-
lines eat their horse meat and cod-
fish. I

Post Office Department Is Proud
Of Workers And Willing To Say So
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON (U.R)— The Post
Office Department is proud of its'
workers, and isn't bashful about
doffing its hat to them.
The current postal service news
has a section called: 'Can you
top these?"
Mrs. Elsie Methvin of the Bu-
reau of Facilities headquarters
here wonders how many among
the peddlers of the post can claim
a mother who was a letter car-
rier. Mrs. M. Can.
Her mom, Mrs. Elsie Paye Pat-
ton, is shown in her 1917-18 car-
rier's uniform. Mom's route was
in Cheotah, Okla., and covered
90 city blocks. Mrs. Patton had
a dog named "Fog" which prot-
tected her on her daily rounds.
Missourian Claim's Record
Mary Jane Belthoover of St.
Louis claims something of a rec-
ordfor buying bonds. She has
bought one a month for over 20
years.
The record of Postmaster Orris
E. Marine of Colton, Wash., is un-
viable. He has had clerk Cecila
Yuarck working for him since
1917. Carrier Carl A Reisenaur
has been on Marine's payroll since
1920.
Walter C. Jones has been a rural
carrier in Elberton, Ga., for 51
years, six montB and 15 days.
Three Flushing, N. Y. carriers—
Henry Iholz, Herman Simon, aijd
Sylvester Jones — have combin-
ed esrvice of 122 years.
A. L. Quill, assistant superinten-
dent of registry at Boston, was
surprised when he got a paid call
from someone in Capetown, South
Africa, asking if he could stop a
letter in transit. Quill was surpris-
ed even more than he looked on
his desk and found he had the let-
ter at hand.
Postal News Reports
The postal news also reports
that:
The motto of \ Baltimore, Md.
firm which cooks up glue for pos-
tage stamps is: 'Licked by U, yet
licked by none."
A lady in Nevada who mailed a
parcel post package asked the
clerk to please instruct the post-
man "to shout 'surprise' when he
delivers this?"
Ray Templeton of Lancaster,
Pa., found thiB note on a mail box
"Please drive in very, very siowly
because we have four new kittens,
When you start away, please toot
because they sleep under parked
cars."
' They've Got Heart
In Atlanta a little girl on the
route of Edward M. Malcolm bub-
bled tears every time Ed failed
to leave her a letter or postcard.
Malcolm reports that he "tried
to soothe her by promising her a
letter tomorrow."
" 'You told me that yesterday,
the little girl replied, 'that you
would bring me something tomor-
row. Today is Tuesday and yes-
terday is today and I still don't have
a letter! How come?"
The carrier delivered one the
next day he wrote himself.
