WEO6HO. FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 1942. RAINS EXPECTED TO PREVENT JAP INVASION OF INDIA UNTIL OCTOBER By That Time Defenses of Huge Natural Resource Storehouse Will Be Greatly Strengthened. CALCUTTA, June 5. (U.R) Allied spokesmen in Calcutta believe that India is probably safe from any- Jap invasion effort until October.

There are two reasons. The season of the Indian monsoon rains which turn Bengal roads into quagmires is due to start any day, and right now the Japs appear fully occupied in China and the southwest Pacific. The allied spokesmen say that by the time the rains end in October, India's defenses will be greatly strengthened. Man About Town By ROBERT McKNIOHT "Why Business Always Bad?"

We think today's orchids go to The Rambler for the splendid article he wrote in yesterday's paper about the secrecy at Camp Crowder. As he says, there is no need to keep secret something everyone knows. It is similar to the story about the huge ships that were in a New York harbor and which the newspapers were asked not to mention. Any fifth columnist could easily have gone by the harbor and seen them, so why keep a story like that imprinted when it is Punchiello's secret known to everyone? We'll print an explanation, Camp Crowder, if you can give us an ejitiment one.

FIGHT ON GAS RATIONING CROWS Legislators to Hold Protest Meeting Today.

WASHINGTON, June 5. (U.R) Congressmen are protesting loudly over the possibility that gas-rationing may be made nationwide to save rubber. Legislators from states that have plenty of gas are particularly bitter. They plan to hold a protest meeting in one of the House caucus rooms today. The clamor comes as administration leaders near a decision on whether to extend the rationing.

It is expected that war production board chairman Donald Nelson will give the final word to the board on Tuesday. He'll confer with President Roosevelt before then perhaps today. Spokesmen for the oil industry and auto associations are adding their protests to the congressional outburst. AAA Asks Postponement. Representatives of the large oil companies have asked for further public proof that it is necessary to spread gas-rationing to all 48 states.

The American Automobile Association, appealing for a 90-day postponement of rationing, says that motorists are voluntarily conserving rubber, but the War Production Board has given out its answer to all protests in poster form. The board has put out a poster showing four soldiers irv a Jeep bouncing over a hill. The poster reads: "They have more important places to go than you."

M. London. June a Berlin housewife knows a bootlegger she can buy coffee but it costs her $32 a pound. United Press Correspondent Joseph W. Griggs has just arrived in London after spending three years in wartime Berlin, and he says that Eer- liners are forced to assume that they can get nothing at all.

German psychology. The German people go on from there and get what they can by hook or crook. Gzigg went on a shopping tour with a British housewife, and was arr.ax- ed at the things Londoners still are able to buy, despite the war and rationing. Ihe reporter says there's no comparison between London and Berlin. About the only thing you can get In Berlin without a ration card, he says, is an ill temper.

Grigg says there are plenty of those among the German people. Traffic Jams Extinct. In London, there are enough busses and taxis left to create a fair- sized traffic Jam during rush hours. In Berlin, Grigg declares traffic jams are as extinct as coffee. The British housewife he shopped with bought a loaf of bread and a half pound fruit cake, without ration card.

In Berlin, she would have to present a card, and if she bought a cake no bread that day. In London, vegetables almost every kind you want without a ration card. In Berlin, no vegetables vnhout a card and hardly any with one. Shostrlngs in London are still available. In Berlin.

Grigg says they are $4 a pair on the black market. A special permit is needed in Berlin to buy darning thread, and shaving cream. In London they aren even rationed. Grigg was astonished to see che London store windows piled high with American lend-lease canned Roo They are rationed on a point system to provide equal distribution. In Berlin, he says, they just don't exist.
