State Officer To Lose Gas Ration
Baltimore Maryland Saturday recommendation by regional OPA enforcement attorney Cornelius P Munda to a special OPA panel urged that State Comptroller J Millard Tawes be deprived of his private gasoline ration for a substantial period and that part of his official ration be suspended for the war. Tawes admitted violating the ban on pleasure driving by a 1600 mile trip to Georgia in a state owned car to attend his son's wedding. The panel planned a public hearing for today to decide whether to accept his admission of guilt without a hearing. Munda later sent his recommendation outlining a suspension that preserves essential official driving. Rives Matthews editor of the Somerset News, charged with criminal libel for accusing Tawes of pleasure driving, criticized the closed hearing request, and the Civil Liberties Union sought a transcript if the hearing is closed.
