GAS
RATIONING NATIONWIDE
Rationing
No Longer Limited to Eastern States?
WASHINGTON—Seventeen
eastern states have been under gasoline rationing since May 11 of this year.
Due to Japanese seizure of natural rubber supplies in the South Pacific,
gasoline rationing is required in those densely populated states to limit
driving and preserve tires. Most citizens receive A stickers and have to make
do on three gallons a week. War workers receive B stickers and are allotted
five gallons a week. There is talk the Petroleum Administration for
War (PAW) will extend the mandatory rationing to all states by
the end of the year. Midwesterners and Westerners, get ready to make the Basic
Mileage Coupon book your friend just as Easterners have for the past six
months.
