Potter, 66, pay- master of the American Brass Con- pany, who is charged with storing 16 gallons of gasoline in his garage in violation of the ordinance. MT. Blansfleld contended that the ordi- nance was drafted as Q means of licensing dealers in kerosene and other inflammables, rather than for the purpose of prosecuting private individuals.
 Marshal Lahey apparently de- clined to take the attorneys chal- lenge seriously. "He knows he can not do that any more than anyone else," he commented.
 Besides, didn't see him in line last night for 8 supplemental allot- ment of gasoline 50 I doubt he'd be able to get five gallons to spare for the purpose" he added.
 The marshal smiled saying, "Mr Blansfield undoubtedly will notify the marshal officially if he decidei to carry out his promise. It woulE be breach of etiquette on my part not to accept a formal invitation from a man of his dignity, to walb upon his premises, see what thG circumstances are and act accord ingly."
 The Potter case, the fifth of its kind since the start of the gasoline rationing program, was continued by Judge John l.. Gaffney yester- day to August 19. Decision was reserved on Attorney Blansfield's demurrer,
