ing redeemed in cash at the ferry
terminals and by check at the Roads
Commissions office.
Rebates keep trickling in here in
small amounts" he said, land we
have to write a check to redeem each
group. We have written about 900
checks here and the total amount
of all of them was only 81 200. Most
Of the tickets we redeem in cash"
Tickets valued at about S65,000
were issued by the Annapolis-C -Clai-
borne Ferry Co. after it succeeded
in obtaining an injunction restrain
ing the Public Service Commission
from effecting a passenger fare re-
duction. When the State took over,
June 10, it also assumed liability
for the rebate value of the tickets.
Mr.. Codd said August 81 is the

Voluntary Rationing
OF Gasoline Urged in
D. {. and 16 States
Ickes Proposes Plan
To Obviote CompuIsion
In Fuel Conservation

Defense Petroleum Co-ordinator
lckes indicated today that the fill
'er up era is near an end for mo-
torists of the populous East.
The Interior Secretary passed
word around that the Governments
decision on the use of gasoline ration
cards or other means of compulsory
conservation depends on the amount
of fuel saved through voluntary
rationing programs in 16 Eastern
States and the District of Columbia.
Hope to Curb Deliveries.
At the same time, officials of the
District Petroleum Conservation
Committee urged local oil heating
and petroleum industries to adopt
policy of refusing to make fuel de-
liveries on Sundays. holidays and
nights, after 6 pm, except in "ex-
treme emergencies"
Urging that more emphasis be
placed on plan to keep the tank
full instead Of the customers wait
ing until he has to order fuel at odd
hours, causing waste of gasoline
for truck deliveries on special trips,
Maj. Beverly G.. Snow, Assistant
Engineering Commissioner and pres
ident of the District conservation
group, said such a plan would per-
NIT trucks to make more deliveries
per mile. This, he said, would con-
serve oil "for defense"
Maj. Shows statement was issued
upon receipt of a letter from L. LIE
Roy Gritzen, director of the OIL
heating division, Electric Institute,
pledging cooperation in the con-
servation drive.
Studies More British Aid.
Mr. Ickes indicated he was shap-
ing the defense oil conservation pro-
gram with full consideration of the
possibility that more American
tankers may be transferred to Bri-
tain. The threatened oil shortage in
the East was precipitated by the
turning over to the British of one
fifth of the tanker fleet supplying
this part of the country with petro-
leum from Southern and Midcon-
tinental oil fields.
The co-ordinator is seeking a
quick answer to the practicability of
voluntary rationing such as is being
instituted here and has called on
the governors of the 16 Atlantic
coast States to map similar pro-
grams A saving of 20 per cent can
be affected, Federal oil officials have
assured Mr.. IckeS.

Hundreds Register
For Civilian Defense
In Northern Virginia
Formers and Federal
Workers Among Those
Volunteering Services

Hundreds of defense minded resi-
dents of Arlington and Fairfax
Counties and Alexandria stopped on
their way to work this morning to
enroll in the Northern Virginia Re-
gional Defense Councils drive for
volunteers in the Civilian Defense
Corps.
In Fairfax County, where regis
Watl0n CenterS were opened at am,
many farmers had been listed among
the registrants while Government
employees formed large proportion
of the volunteers in all three sec
tions of the Northern Virginia area.
Volunteer Registrars
Scores of volunteer registrars
were on hand at the registration
centers this morning. Everywhere
the work was reported proceeding
smoothly with the time required
for filling out the registration cards
varying from 5 to 10 minutes.
All ages were represented in the
early registrations although those
in the age group from 80 to 40 pre-
dominated. A few just above the
minimum of 16 years were reported
and some enrolling during the early
part of the day were above 10.
The oldest registrant to be re-
ported this morning was Mrs. Jennie
DeSrochers. II, of the Anne Lee
Memorial Home in Alexandra, who
has been active in American Red
Cross and other civic activities in
Alexandria for many years. In reg
istering at the second ward center
in the city hall she offered her
services in any capacity.
Il can even be a messenger If
you need one" she said.
In Fairfax County most of the
centers will remain open till 9 pm,
officials announced. The volunteer
registrars will be on duty in Airing
ton County until $3.50 pm. and in
Alexandria until pm.
Officials throughout the three
areas expressed satisfaction at the
large proportion of men registered,
admitting earlier fears that the
registration might find women, boys
and girls making up the major por-
ton of the volunteer group.
In most of the registration Offices,
however, it was estimated that ap-
proximately as many men as women
had been enrolled during the early
hours and this proportion was ex-
pected to hold during the day.
The enrolment of colored volun-
teers also was reported proceeding
satisfactorily. Officials earlier this
week stressed the need for volun-
teers of all ages, races and occupa-
tions.
Many Couples Enroll.
Among the volunteers enrolling
this morning were many husbands
and wives. Volunteers listed a va
riety of talents.
Mrs. Vera B. Rulings of 1900 South

some knowledge of Chinese.
