System
CONSUMPTION TO
BE HEAVILY CUT
Scheme Now Being Considered by Fuel
Administrator Garfield to Be An
nounced Shortly-Will Affect Entire
Country.

WASHINGTON, Oct lO-The millions
of motorists in the country are soon to
know how they will be called upon to
help the war program by cutting down
the consumption of gasoline. 1t was
stated at the fuel administration yester-
day that Fuel Administrators Harry A..
Garfield expects to be able soon to an
nounce at least an outline of the plans
he has decided upon.
Use of the word "rationing" was
avoided in the discussion of the plans,
which still are being carefully concealed,
but in broad sense it is understood all
but the most vital users of motor fuel
will find their supply cut down.
Although gasless Sunday has been an
entire success in the eyes of the fuel ad
ministration, and has made it possible to
ship millions of gallons to the fighting
forces, whose demands, as the result of
continuous fighting had almost wiped
out the reserve, DIR. Garfield and his asso-
ciates became convinced that more
equitable scheme was needed.
Accordingly experts devised numerous
schemes for conservation and these
have been carefully studied by DIR. Gar
field.
Gasless Sunday affected only the
states east of the Mississippi, as its OBJ.
ject was to fill up the tanks at the sea.
board. and transportation difficulties
stood in the way of assistance from the
west. Under the new system. however
the entire country will be affected, it i.
understood.
Whether DIR. Garfield's plan contem
plates card system for gasoline wa,
conjectural. One of the principal OBJ
stacles to the card system, which ha,
been tried in Europe, is that thousand
of persons are needed to check and other
wise keep track of it. 1t is reported
however, that the plan here, if adopted
would be a modification that will elimi
nate most of the bookkeeping.
Carrying out of DIR. Garfield's plan vii
doubtless be assigned to the distributor
of gasoline with a general appeal for pa
triotic assistance
