Mid West And West Face Cut In A Rations To Two Gallons
Washington March 13 UP The A ration for basic gasoline may be trimmed in the midwest and west to two gallons a week to match the eastern seaboard. Colonel Bryan Houston of the Office of Price Administration said the plan, urged by the Petroleum Administration for War, could be announced soon and likely applied by extending A coupon series to three months. If ordered, the cut aims to equalize national supplies and reflect seasonal demand, with Atlantic Coast quotas likely rising to balance the cut elsewhere. Total civilian gasoline could rise to about 400 000 barrels daily for the region, while midwest consumption could jump 15 percent or more due to farm activity.
