Gasoline curtailment drives in eastern states
Interior Secretary Ickes moved to monitor voluntary one third gasoline cuts on the Atlantic coast by asking major oil firms for weekly retail sales data. The move aims to avoid compulsory rationing amid a projected oil shortage as tankers shift to British service. AAA president Henry urged motorists to anticipate higher costs and new driving conditions. Canadian measures also go into effect with word of hours restrictions on gasoline use and a credit card ban, while a minimal price rise was already in place.
