"That's a B-24. I read where it takes 280 gallons
of 100-octane gasoline to keep that ship in the
air jor an hour. Multiply that by thousands of
planes on thousands of missions and you soon
see why we've got to conserve on gas at home"
Says the O. P. A. in a special report on
Chilian gasoline supply:
Mechanized warfare feeds insatiably on petroleum products.
Tanks of one armored division will burn some 25,000 gallons
in traveling 100 miles. On a single six-hour mission, a thousand
Flying Fortresses use at least 1,500.000 gallons of high octane
fuel. During the North African campaign, tankers made up
60 per cent of the tonnage required for supplying the Allied
forces.

NEW
ALIE
RULING ON
(! ENS
An enemy alien who is a German,
Hungarian, or Bulgarian citizen or
Mtional may be inducted into the
Mtted forces of the United States
and assigned to a war theatre in
which he will not normally be requir-
ed to fight against fellow nationals
or blood relatives, under a recent
revision of selective service and War
Department policies. The change
in| regulations may cause some ene-
my aliens to withdraw their objec-
tions to all military service. Such
will be reconsidered. Because
ef the recognition of Italy as a oc-
*llig erent, local selective service
wards have been directed to reconsi-
der the reclassification of Italian re-
Rjitrants previously not acceptable
eecause they were enemy aliens.
Neutral aliens may file a elective
service form 301 and request relief
fr6m services in the armed forces
of the U. S. However, if a neutral
alien1 becomes (i cobelligerent, the
previously filed form becomes in-
effective.
