WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-Prohibi-
tion of the use of gasoline ON Sundays
for motor vehicles and boats applies
only to pleasure riding, Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield announces. He said
today that reasonable use of gasoline
driven vehicles for necessary purposes

" The request made by the fuel adj

at the administration, 'that pleasure
riding be discontinued on Sundays for
the present in order to conserve our
supply of gasoline-driven vehicles as
means of necessary transportation
where no other means are available
The intention of the request is that all
real pleasure driving be eliminated, but
that necessary use of the automobile
be not interfered with. -
"While taxicabs were not mentioned
in The statement it was said informally
that restriction would not prevent taxi
service for necessary purposes, though
there should be no hiring of cabs for
pleasure riding. The use of pleasure
automobiles on Labor dav or other holi-

ton, inquiry diseloses. Officials said
however, persons desiring to use pleas
ure ears on Labor day should look into
their own conSciences to determine
