No Coupon Reductions Planned for Gasoline Values
Washington official Prentiss M. Brown said no reduction in A B or C gasoline coupons is contemplated. The Office of Price Administration hopes to bring enough gasoline to the northeast to avoid civilian-use cuts, though further reductions could occur if transportable supply falls short of essential needs. An East Coast allotment was raised to 323000 barrels daily for July through September, offset by higher farm and transport demands. In the Northeast, A coupons have fallen over 40 percent since rationing began, with B and C coupons cut to two and a half gallons in that region.
