Ride Or Eat Edict Faces Eastern Area In Gasoline Shortage
Washington AP The Office of Price Administration rejected Agriculture Department plans to cancel temporarily all A B and C ration coupons along part of the Atlantic seaboard to meet the gasoline shortage emergency. OPA would rely on curtailing T rations for taxis trucks and other commercial vehicles and on restricting pleasure driving. The Agriculture Department proposed no curtailment of farmer or nonhidaway users of gasoline. OPA argued some B and C rations are as essential as commercial rations. Pleasure driving on B and C rations was previously banned. Eastern supplies worsened by midwestern flood damage affecting oil from the southwest. Tractors halted filling stations closed lines formed. War Food Administration warned farms may not be planted if relief does not come soon. Turn to No. on Page 2.
