Expresses Opinion
MOSCOW, Sept. 20—'Delayedi—
<U.R) — Senator Claude Pepper j
(Democrat, Florida) said today
that he believes the United States
will help reconstruct war- ravaged j
Russia, but he gave no estimate of
the amount of such aid.
Premier Stalin told visiting con-1
gressmen several days ago that,
Russia would like to borrow $6,- j
000,000,000 from the United States, j
Pepper made Ills prediction that
American help would be forth- ;
coming at a priss conference witli
Soviet correspondents. He empha-
sized that, he was expressing only
Ids own personal opinion.
Tlie text of Stalin's conversa-
tions with the congressmen and
later with Pepper were not made
public, but it was understood they
covered tlie whole range of Soviet-1
American relations with special
emphasis on jxftsitrie political and ,
economic cooperation between the1
two countries.
“Bottomless" Market
Stalin was reported to have told j
the delegations that, the United i
.States would Hud the Soviet mar- j
ket lor its goods “bottomless”—a
hint that Russia will buy all she j
can lay her hands on if Hie proper j
credits are granted.

Increased to $1,000
t
Due to the many entries made
in today's racing events at Fort
Reno, previous plans for three civ-
ilian races with a total of $1,000
purse in war bonds have been
changed to include six civilian

BV UNITED PRESS
Motorists’ supplies of unratloned
gasoline dwindled today as strikes
closed refineries in tliree great
production centers and forced one
industrial area to resume ration-
ing.
Three of the nation's six big
gasoline refining areas were crip-
pled by the strikes for wage in-

the strike was the rich Texas the Tornadoes kicked to the In-
coast reilnjim territory. The Calu-
met refining urea near Chicago,
the nation's third largest, was re-
duped to less than 50 percent of
its normal production by the
strikes. The third gasoline pro-
duction center affected was in
Ohio

Pet.oleum industry oificials es-
timated that at least a third of

El Reno Gridsfers Drop
Opener to Clinton, 6 to 2
Playing the first half of the
game in a blinding rainstorm,
which, at times, all but obscured
the goalposts from the vision of
the dripping spectators, EH Reno
hlghschool Indians emerged from
the-mud on the short end of a
6-2 score in their opening football
engagement of the current season
at Legion park Friday night.
The Tribe had the heavier, more
experienced Clinton Red Torna-
does outclass3d in almost every
phase of tlie demonstration, but
two fumbles at the outset of the
scrap cost El Reno the decision.
Clinton kicked off, with El Reno
returning to the 45-yard line where
the Indians fumbled and lost tlie
ball on the first play. El Reno
dians' 15-yard stripe where El Reno
again fumbled with Clinton gain-
ing the ball to score a touch-
down on a double reverse within
the first five minutes of play.
Never again were the visitors
ever able to threaten but it was
good enough.
Tlie El Reno score came in the
fourth quarter when the Torna-
does were trying to kick out from
their goal line and a bad pass
to smother the ball behind the
line to score u safety.
El Reno opened a nice drive late
in the game, with Richard Dozier
and Buddy Marsh carrying the
ball, and advanced to CHlnton's
20-yard stripe before the time ran
out.
A crowd of at least 1.000 fans
sat through the rain which pelted
down all through the first half
and which fell intermittently dur-
ing the last two quarters.
Aside from the first few minutes
when the inexperienced Tribesmen

stage fright, the El Reno gridsters people or government."
The document outlines the gen-

touted Tornadoes. Jack Pearce, at
guard, cheeked in a great game
on the line, grabbing off at least
60 percent of the tackles, while
Alan Peabody, at a tackle post.
Richard Preno. Charles Hulbert
and Wayne Bruce at end positions
were highly effective. Kingpin of
the El Reoo backfield was the
rugged, shifty Dozier, who clicked
off at least four nice runs. Marsh

promise in backfield berths.

So serious was the situation that
the government called oil com-
pany and union representatives to
meet Tuesday in Chicago in an
effort to end work stoppages by
some 25.000 refinery workers tying
up fuel output in three major re-
fining areas.
31) I'erernt Boost Demanded
The strigers demand 30 percent
wage boosts to compensate lor
peacetime cutbacks on working
hours a,nd overtime. This wage
demand accounted for mast of tlie
206,000 idle in labor disputes
throughout tlie country.
Resumption of gHsoline ration-
ing was ordered effective today in
Toledo. Ohio, where every refinery
was down and incoming supplies
were dwindling. "Fill 'er up" proved
a short-lived post-war phrase in
the big industrial city.
In Detroit, its automobile indus-
try already crippled by strikes, it
was estimated that 40 percent of
the city’s 3.400 gasoline stations
had closed last night lor lack of
supplies. Checker cabs were to be
taken off the streets there tonight
as their gas ran out.

trade and Industry.
4. Reparations for Japanese ag-
gression are to be made through

cational system.
6. Japan is to be permitted even-
tually to resume normal trade re-
lations with the rest of the world,
but during occupation Us purchase

abroad for peaceful purposes and
its exports will lie under "suitable
controls."
7. Japan Is to be stripped of her
army, navy, air force, secret police
organization and all civil aviation.
