Gasoline theft case tests ration board limits and police warrants
State rationing officials refused to endorse police actions citing that a confession of theft could be seen as admissible knowledge of rationing violations. Frederick officers faced a stalled prosecution after a 17 year old youth confessed to pilfering gasoline during late night joy rides, with his mother present. Chief Poulsen urged public cooperation and official notification to rationing authorities while the board maintained it is an admin body, not an enforcement arm.
