lieved If they cooked up a fancy
title describing their services they

the local boards to insure the
revocation of all supplemental
ratiOns obtained through error"
says Edward T. Broadwell. OPA
state gasoline rationing officer.
"Our audit of a cross-sectiOn
of the supplemental books al
lowed in Wayne County will be

in the future will be governed
by what this audit shows.

tinued. Here. among other
things, USO workers write let

Think Of these letters, often
signed with a typically Jewish
name, going into homes of all
nationalities and creeds through

of this work in effecting better
