The ban on the use of gasoline on
Sundays for. motor vehicles and boats
will apply only to pleasure riding. Euel
Administrator Garfield announced today.
He said reasonable use of gasoline
driven vehicles for necessary purposes
was not intended to. be prohibited.
The request made by the fuel ad-
ministration," said a statement issued
by the administration, that pleasure
riding be discontinued Sundays for the
present in order to conserve our supply
of gasoline for war needs was not in
tended to prohibit reasonable use of
gasoline-driven vehicles as a means of
necessary TRANSPORTATION where no other
means are available.
MIR. Garfield believes that the public
will construe the request wisely and in
telligently and will not use their automo-
bies for Other than the most necessary
purposes.
The intention of the request is that
all mere pleasure riding be eliminated.
but that necessary use Of the aulomC-
bile be not interfered with.
.Just what is pleasure riding and
what is necessary use must be deter
mined by the individual; keeping in
mind always that we must have addi-
tional reserves of gasoline so there may
be no possibility of delays in overseas
shipments.
The United States fuel administra-
ton will not attempt to tabulate auto
mobile traffic on Sunday"
While taxicabs were not mentioned in
the statemsn 1t was said informally
the restrictions would not prevent taxi
service for necessary purposes. though
there should be no hiring of cabs for
pleasure riding.
The use of pleasure automobiles rh
Labor Day and other holidays does not
come under the restrictions, inquiries
disclosed. Officials said, however, per-
sons desiring to use pleasure cars on
Labor Day should look into their own
consciences to determine whether they
should use gasoline on that day.

Everything it can get its hands on?"
asked Senator Sherman, of Illinois.
scents SociaIistic Policy
Senator Watson declared this pan
was but part of the whole socialistic
policy that has been followed by the
Government since the country entered
the war, and predicted that since the
Government has taken over control of
the railroads, express companies and
wires, followed by Government control
over educational institutions. Federal
control over the mines and the oil sup
ply would mex come.
Senator Wadsworth, Of New York.
declared he did not believe the War
Department had any such intention as
described. He said he had noted that
the writer of the article in question
had been engaged in propaganda cal
culated to give the impression that as
a martial offset to other hardships the
Government was going to give drafted
men between eighteen and twenty years
an education.
..The vice of this article" he con-
tinued, lis that it is deceiving the
American public. THIS article is on all
fcurs with the articles published In
connection with the aircraft program.
Senator Kirby, of Arkansas, SAID
Provost Marshal General Crowder had
advised him that only engineering, chem
istry n medical students would be
allowed to remain in college to COM
plete their education.
Senator johnson, of California. criti-
cized the Government for acting with
out authority. If the Government de-
sires to do anything, he asserted, it is
done, law or no law, authority or no
authority"
cit doesn't make any difference what
Congress desires or wishes" he added.
THAT absolutism does exactly as 1t sees
fit II the salvage of a smashed democ-
racy shall be education of eighteen
year-old boys. I hope the program will
be carried out"
That ideas of Congress are opposed
by the executive branch Of the Gov
and afterward adopted by Of
ftcials as their own was asserted by
senator Sherman, of Illinois. He cited
Secretary Bakers opposition to uni
versal military training of boys of IS,
to centralized control Of aircraft pro-
duction. and declared he could give
more than eleven such instances.
