Guidance for Gas Rutioninq
Registration Card Must Be Presented
In Applying for Types Of Cards

I. In other words, card A permits
you to buy 81 gallons, or an average
of 8 gallons a week.
Card B-1 contains II units, or
enough for 80 gallons.
Card B-2 contains Is units-or As
| gallons.
Card B-3 contains 10 units-or 81
gallons.
Card K contains no units. Hold
ers Of these are not restricted in
their purchases of gasoline.
Now that you have your card, you
can use up your rations as quickly
or as slowly as you wish. But it's
the only one you'll get until July /,
unless YOU can prove to the local
rationing board that amount it pro-
vided was not sufficient to permit
your vehicle ito be used to the ex-
tent necessary to the life or the work
| of those who depend on it," If
your argument is accepted as valid,
the board will issue a supplemental
ration card.
No Gas Without Card.
| As the owner, you do not have to
be present to purchase gas for your
car. Any person operating the We
hicle for which your card was issued
may use the car so long as there is
no change in ownership of registra-
ton of the vehicle But the card
must be with the operator; dealers
can't sell to you unless the card is
presented.
Units will be Cancelled or detached
by the dealer or the purchaser in
the dealers presence only. Remem-
ber, too, that a full unit will be
Cancelled even If the purchase is less
than the value of the unit in
gallons.
Motorcycle and motorbike owners
will not be allowed as much gasoline
as cars and other vehicles. Their
ration cards will be the same as
those issued to automobiles, but the
value in gallons of a unit will be 40
per cent of the value of unit on a
card issued to an automobile owner.
In other words, since the unit value
announced by o. P A. is three
gallons, motorcycles and motorbikes
will be entitled to only IL gallons
per unit.
15-Mile Per Gallon Basis.
For automobiles, however, o. p. A.
basis its mileage allotments on a
consumption rate of Is miles to the
gallon, disregarding the make of
the automobile. The unit gallonage
value for a 16-cylinder car will be
the same as that for a six-cylinder
one
There are certain types of motor
vehicles in the so-called essential"
class which are not required to
register for ration cards and may
get unrestricted quantities of gas
ollne without cards. Falling in this
category are:
l. A vehicle equipped as an am
bulance or hearse or clearly iden-
tifiable as a truck, bus or taxicab.
z. A motor vehicle bearing license
plates, registration card or other
identification clearly indicating that
it is in use by Federal, State, local
or foreign government or agency
thereof.
8. A vehicle or boat whose oc-
cupant has an official military, naval.
Federal or State governmental travel
order authorizing such vehicular or
boat travel.

Traffic Unit Favored
To Take Control Of
'Share-Car' Plan
Quick Program Urged
To Help Solve D. c.
Traffic Congestion

AS a possible means of solving
Washington's transportation prob
lem, the Traffic Committee of the
Board of Trade yesterday recon-
mended that the District Traffic
Advisory Committee be placed in
charge of an automobile conserva-
tion plan.
The proposal was adopted on mo-
ton of Jerome Fanciulli, chairman
of a special committee investigat-
ing the "share-your r-car" plan, who
pointed out program is needed in
which interested groups and in
dividuals may participate.
F. w. Lovejoy, executive secre-
tary of the Traffic Advisory Com
mittee, suggested an increase in the
number of occupants of private pas
senger cars bringing people to work
as partial solution to the prob
lem. He said his committee had
learned by surveys that 10000 in
dividual drivers bring their cars to
work in the city every morning and
that the average occupancy of these
vehicles is 16 persons.
1T is obvious" he said, that
this number of passengers using
private cars can be greatly in
creased. AS a matter of fact, it
will have to be increased since the
mass transportation facilities will
be incapable of handling all the
workers who may desire to use
them"
Mr. Lovejoy said his committee
will work out program in this
connection as soon as it completes
a study now in progress.
Capt H. c. Whitehurst, District
highway director, Endorsed the
committees proposal to expand the
"share-your- program and said
he believed the idea of a central
committee to develop it represented
one of the best approaches to the
problem.

Soldiers to Arlington

To avoid frequent use of civilian
cars, DR.. A. G. Churchill, of 1014
North Irving street, Arlington, Va,
chairman of Transportation of the
Arlington Recreational Center, today
asked motorists to volunteer to carry
soldiers to and from their posts to
the center, picnics and other recrea-
tional activities.
Pointing to the tire shortage and
gasoline rationing, Dr. Churchill said
that large list of volunteers would
mean that each auto would only
have to be used occasionally" He
also requested those with trucks or
station wagons to offer them for
such transportation.

Sun Cab! Head Drew
Up False Income Tax
Returns, Kin Charges
Baltimore Man Tells
U. S. Court of Profits
Made on Gasoline
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, May IA nephew
Of Herbert Glassman, president of
the Sun Cab Co., charged in Federal
Court that Glassrhan and the COM
pany auditor, Joseph I. Fucker, drew
up false income tax returns in an
attempt to conceal profits from sale
Of gasoline.
The testimony was given yesterday
by Samuel Huffman, who said he
worked for Glassman about nine
years and handled gasoline sales for
the company.
Four-Year Fraud Charged.
GlasSman and Fucker are accused
Of tax evasion, the former charged
with evading $110,727 in taxes be-
tween 1934-8, and Fucker with aid
ing and abetting the alleged fraud.
The Sun Cab Co, Edward c. Os-
trow, treasurer, and the District
Underwriters, Inc, of Washington,
assertedly controlled by the three
men, also were accused of tax eva
sions totaling $267 OPT.
Huffman testified that Glassman
agreed to pay him three-fourths OF
a cent for every gallon of gasoline
sold to cab drivers, with the remain
ing profit of about cents per gall
Ion being turned over to the COM
pany.
$1,000 Monthly Checks.
The witness said checks averaging
about $4,000 each month were made
out to him, but that they were in
dorsed and turned over to Glass
man. He said income tax returns
made out by Fucker listed Huffman
as having received the entire gaso-
line sales profits.
T. Barton Harrington, assistant
United States attorney, charged in
an opening statement before jury
in Judge w. Calvin CheStnutis
court that Glassman used many
methods to conceal income.
Among them, Mr.. Harrington said,
Glassman made profits on purchase
of new cabs, sale OF used cabs, in
surance benefits, profits on cab re-
pairs, on sale of new tires and from
payroll padding.

today that signed statement was
procured under diress from Law

The Government placed the F. B.

declared it was made voluntarily
and Mr.. Wahab subsequently de-
tailed the circumstances under
which it was prepared and signed
| In response to questions by Mr.
Murray, the witness declared Mr.
Haynes was not abused, threatened

Mr.. Wahab testified that Mr.
Haynes was brought into the F. B. I
field Office January 26, 194l, by Louis
! N. Nichols, now assistant director o1
the F. B. l., and later questioned by
himself and other agents for about
an hour. Afterward. Mr.. Haynes
was told, he said, that statement
was desired, and it should be purely
voluntary on his part. AS result
of Mr.. Haynes agreement, state
ment was prepared, the witness ex-
planned, and Mr.. Haynes read it over
carefully, made one or two correc-
tions and then signed it.
The jury of eight women and -four
men was excluded from the court
| during the testimony of the F. B. I
agent, as we'll as during preceding
and animated legal discussion be-
| tween defense counsel and Justice

Mr.. Haynes, an associate in the
Standard Business Service, direct
mail list supply firm, and Miss
Katherine Kay, former employe

the commission were used for the
preparation of lists Of prospects
which were offered to commercial
establishments at rates as low as

failure of the draft and manpowel
