No Excuse The acting secretary of state then scouted claims that Vichy had accepted Japanese assistance for the purpose of defending Indo-China against aggression by other powers. The government of the United) States, he said, is unable to accept this explanation. There is no question of any threat to French Indo-China unless it lies in the expansionist alms of the Japanese government. The turning over of bases for military operations and of territorial rights under pretext of common defense to a power whose territorial aspirations are apparent here presents a situation which- bas a direct bearing upon the vital problem of American security.

2. (IP) Operators of 100,000 service stations, in eastern states, preparing for the Initial blackout'' of nighttime sale of gasoline at 7 p. tomorrow, were told today by Petroleum Co ordlnator Ickes that they are now on the battle line of democracy. The battle of the Atlantic is now being fought with oil, Ickes declared, and will be won by oil. It has finally reached into Amerl-can garages and gasoline tanks.

Beginning tomorrow night, fill ing stations will close from 7 p. to 7 a. m. (local time) in all or parts of 17 Atlantic states. Communications from the industry indicated wholehearted support, promising full effectiveness of the blackout, a petroleum coordination spokesman said.

Others Ask It Ickes aides, emphasizing the cooperative attitude of the industry said requests had been received from gasoline dealers asso-cl: tionB outside the curfew region requesting that the proclamation for night closing be expanded to embrace their areas of operation. The identity or locale of these dealers was not made public. Gasoline stations along the east ern seaboard pumped steadily tonight as motorists rushed up for filling. In many cases week-end bound motorists lugged big cans along to use for reserve supplies. In New York city, hundreds of worried taxi cab drivers brightened when word camejrom John W.

Frey, director of marketing in the office of the petroleum coordinator in Washington, that gasoline could be sold to commercial vehicles, including Laxis and trucks. New Jsrsey planned to revoke licenses if stations did not comply i with the Ickes recommendation. In New Yoik btate a legislative investigation ot the closing was urged by an assemblyman who asserted the state btood to lose $20,000,000 in tax revenue. Some Oppose It In Queens, one of New York city's boroughs, lesldents were advised to ignore the curfew by bur-ough President George U. Harvey.

He contended the plan would not conserve gasoline, would Injure small, business men and create unemployment. Another protest came from the gasoline station and parking attendants union (A.F.L.) whose officers announced that 50 unions had offered aid in the protest against a possible loss of jobs. An increase of 2 cents a gallon in the service station price of gasoline and imposition of govern ment priorities in the deliveries of petroleum and its products was forecast for the eastern seaboard tonight by authoritative oil men.
