Pleasure Driving Ban May Be Lifted Sept 1
Washington reports acting price administrator Chester Bowles announced the pleasure driving ban in 12 Northeastern states might end September 1 if the ban is observed this month. He said gasoline ration coupons in the Midwest and Southwest would be cut further starting Monday to reduce consumption, with hopes of easing Eastern restrictions once supplies build up. Bowles emphasized conditional removal tied to stock levels and future coupon adjustments. The PAW allocations show a 15 percent cut from June civilian consumption, affecting A B and C coupons and reducing occupational driving in the A book to 60 miles monthly while boosting non-occupational driving to 120 miles. In the Northeast, boards will regain authority to grant extra driving in hardship cases. The plan targets transportation equalization after overcoming sea-board supply issues, with affected states listed. Pittsburgh notes a severe Pennsylvania gasoline shortage with stations closing and calls for action to prevent war production impact.
