GAS
RATIONING DELAYED
Reduced
Speed Urged in Meantime
WASHINGTON,
D.C.—The most important recommendations of the Baruch committee for saving
rubber become effective today. However, the rationing of gasoline, which is
designed to save rubber, will be delayed.
This had been one of the main objectives of the committee, but the framework
for managing the program is not yet in place. The Office of Price
Administration (OPA) anticipates the program will begin in early November of
this year. Until then, drivers are urged to reduce speed and the number of
trips. The Baruch committee warns that drivers must choose between “…discomfort
and defeat.” The committee has recommended a nationwide 35-mile-an-hour speed
limit.
