The county's obligations were listed as $40,000 in old road and bridge and other bonds, $12.000 overdue interest on them and 000 unbonded floating debts. The case came up on petition of Magoffin county and the Lincoln National Bank and Trust Company, Louisville, for the court to require state local finance officer Harry R. Lynn approve the whole debt in new exrefunding, tended maturity periods. Lynn declared approval would 1 be "premature" and that he would wait until present Magoffin officials made good on their promises to effect economies and collect taxes and show that they could make the annual payments required under the plan. His refusal ruling declared that for years Magoffin had assessed property at "less than half its actual value," that "no effort" had been made to collect taxes in many cases, that the county Fiscal Court had "carelessly" approved claims and the records had been so poorly kept that the county budget had to be based on "guesswork and hopes."

Nelson of the War Production Board Tuesday ordered rationing on the Atlantic seaboard and in 13 middle western states to take effect during the coming season. Nelson predicted that the rations would reduce normal winter use of fuel oil as much as 25 per cent but explained that definite figures on the curtailment could not be given at present. Until rationing starts Nov. 30, deliveries of fuel oil will be under controls in 30 eastern and middle western states and the District of Columbia. Beginning Oct.

1, no deliveries may be made without a written guarantee from the consumer that he will surrender ration coupons to be issued subsequently under the ration plan equivalent to any deliveries. States Affected In addition to the Atlantic seaboard, fuel oil will be rationed in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kentucky. Nelson said that changes in the fuel oil situation might require expansion of the ration area in the future. The coupon rationing system, which will be administered by the Office of Price Administration, will vary in different regions. The OPA is expected to announce details soon.

It has worked for weeks on the plans. From tomorrow until Sept. 30 any fuel oil tank. used for heating, cooling, or water heating equipment in a private dwelling may be filled to capacity, providing the capacity, other not than private 275 dwell- galings, fuel storage tanks may be filled to 50 per cent of capacity. Tennessee Unaffected Tennessee and Oklahoma were considered, but left out of the rationing area, because of the small number of oil burners in those states.

"In converting, convert from oil to coal," Nelson advised. "Do not rely on or electrical heating devices as there will be a shortage of both gas and electricity some portions winter. Those who decide to convert their fuel oil burners can be assured of quate coal supplies. The necessary arrangements, such as the purchase of coal and diversion equipment, should not be delayed." Users of fuel oil who are not able convert to coal should give immediate attention to weather-proofing, he said, to reduce fuel consumption of heating fuels.

In addition Hull, told reporters and the envoy the reported plan of Vichy for the wholesale shipment of French laborers to Germany, if carried out, would be considered aid to an enemy of the United States and inconsistent. with the obligations of France under international law.

In his conversation with HenryHaye, it was learned, expressed unqualified condemnation of mass deportation of Jews from unoccupied France. Although no text of the secretary's remarks to the ambassador was made public, in his talk with re, porters he referred indirectly to the Laval, government's reported agreement to deport at least 10,000 Jews from refugee camps by Sept. 15. He recalled that today was the deadline for carrying out these measures against "unfortunates who sought to obtain refuge in France in accordance with its traditional hospitality." "These policies," he said, "include delivery of these unhappy people to enemies who have announced, and in considerable measure executed, their intention to enslave, maltreat, and eventually exterminate them under conditions of the most extreme cruelty. The details of the measures taken are so revolting and so fiendish in their nature that they defy adequate description." Conscription Decree The secretary then turned to the question of Vichy's new labor, conscription decree, under all men between 18 and 50 and all unmarried women between 20 and 35 were made subject to compulsory labor "in the interests of the He indicated the State Department still waited to see whether the new decree was an attempt to achieve by compulsion what Chief of Government Pierre Laval attempted by persuasion some months ago when he appealed for 350,000 French workers to volunteer for employment in Germany under a German promise to release one French prisoner of war for every three French workers to volunteer.

This volunteer plan "seems to have failed," Hull remarked.

16-(P) President Roosevelt described the St. Lawrence waterway project Tuesday as very much needed, but said the delay in starting it raised the question whether the power and navigation development should be undertaken now when it would require war materials. It would take three to three and a half years to finish the project, Mr Roosevelt told reporters. He added that he was studying the mattel to see whether it was desirable to start 1 it, and use war materials, on an assumption that the war would last three to three and a half years. Asked whether that assumption was a minimum estimate of the length of the war, Mr.

Roosevelt said he thought it was neither a minimum nor maximum, but Just a guess.

They also put out of action an enemy machine gun crew which began firing at them. The fighters made a second dive on the harbor and raked a converted yacht which they thought. might be a floating command post. They observed a number of seamen fall under the concentrated machine gun fire. As the planes swept over on a third dive, most of the enemy manpower seemed to be under cover.
