Gas Rationing To Continue Through July 1945 Says Bowles
Price Administrator Chester Bowles told Congress rationing will stay in effect at least until July 1945 despite European war outcomes. He indicated minor items like bicycles may be removed, food restrictions unlikely to ease, and highlighted black market profits and rising overcharges with estimates of hundreds of millions in loss. Bowles praised public compliance and warned counterfeiters and all who break price rules.

OPA Investigators Granted Money To Carry On Campaign
The House Appropriations Committee approved funds to hire 1,239 additional OPA investigators to curb black market sales of rationed foods including meat. The two billion 595 million dollar second deficiency supply bill includes a $177,750,000 allocation for OPA in the new fiscal year beginning July 1, while total OPA funding exceeds the 1944 level but falls short of the budget bureau request. The committee opposed standardization of brands and grading and barred salaries for those setting maximum prices on commodities described by general standards.
