War Week Highlights Gasoline Rationing and Global Plans
The week’s official brief outlines July gas rationing dates for eastern motorists with A and B books, new permanent rationing starting July 15, and book issuances tailored to needs. It also notes U.S. Britain joint production and food boards, pay rises for armed forces, and transfers of Americans serving with Canadian forces. Military actions include Attu and Kiska considerations, Midway and Coral Sea results, and new Army Navy units arriving in British Isles. The President orders a major scrap rubber drive and announces a new Office of War Information to coordinate propaganda.
