Gas Ration Rules For General Election Activities
Special gasoline rations will be issued this fall for election activities upon application to the local War Price and Rationing Board. The Nov 7 general election governs eligibility. Rations cover travel to polls, duties of election officials, poll watchers, and bona fide candidates for essential campaign needs.
Impersonation Charge and 30 Days On The Other
A court handed a sentence for an impersonation charge and imposed a 30 day term on a related offense. The action reflects concurrent or successive penalties under applicable statutes, with the defendant facing potential further implications upon appeal or subsequent violations.
Regulations on Special Gasoline Rations for Campaign Use
The document states that special gasoline rations may not be issued for use in more than one vehicle and may be granted only for the vehicle occupied by the candidate. If the candidate switches cars, existing rations must be surrendered and new ones issued. Rations cannot be used for driving to voter registration or for campaign staff.
