Washington Jan 13 The possibility of relaxing the pleasure driving ban in the East in about ten weeks was raised by Charles S Phillips OPA rationing official. He told a Senate committee that a winter fuel oil crisis in 17 states could end in 65 to 70 days unless heavy snows slow shipments. He noted heating fuel needs reduced the East gasoline quota and spurred the ban while non ban states had rationing boards reviewing B and C books for rapid distribution.
