The Office of Price Administration approved increases in gasoline by 21.4 cents per gallon and in ordinary domestic fuel oils and kerosene by 2 cents per gallon for the eastern seaboard. The hike, to take effect Monday, aims to cover higher transport costs into the rationing region. Price Administrator Henderson said the move is needed due to lack of subsidy legislation and noted a potential $38 million subsidy could have prevented the rise.
