The income of District residents
in 194l totaled 81 ,034 900 900. an in
crease OF 18 per cent over the pre-
ceding year, Commerce Depart
ment report revealed today.
Approximately 1886 900 900 repre-

capital accounted for nearly $129,-
100000. Income of unincorporated
business amounted to about $40, ,0O0.-
600. Government wages and salaries
made up All per cent of the Dis
trict's labor income.
Income for the United States was
estimated at approximately $4,000
OOO. 1000, a gain of 20 per cent over
1910. The Districts share Of the
l941 payments was approximately
1.13 per cent of the national total.

1929.
Maryland, Virginia Up.
Income totals in Maryland and
Virginia were 81 ,498, ,000, 900 and ST.
396 900 900, respectively. Both States
registered a gain Of approximately
"a per cent over the 1910 total.
The State income tax figures for
1941 are contained in an article in
the Survey of Current Business, a
monthly publication of the Com
merce Department. The article,
prepared by Daniel Creamer and
Charles Merwin of the national in
come division, analyses the record
gain in income payments to indi-
viduals last year
Though the increase was not
equally distributed, all States shared
in the gain. Increases ranged from
IS per cent in Vermont and New
York to 80 per cent in North Da-
kota.
Arms Orders Help All States.
Income payments generated by
the war effort in 1941 were not re-
stricted to those few States which
received the bulk of the war con-
tract awards, and for two obvious
reasons" the report said.
First, there is the fact that exist
ing figures on State distribution of
war orders cover only primary con-
tracts. Subcontracting and the pur-
chasing of materials are important
elements of the war production
program, and the geographical loca-
ton of primary contracts often in
dicates little more than the place of
final assembly.
Even more pervasive in its ef-
fects on the State distribution of in
come are the repercussions upon all
industries of armament OUTLAWS"

GasFamine
Seen Extending
Over Thursday
Drivers Form Queues;
Steuort Coils Stotion
Hoordine Needless

Eagerness of motorists to fill their
tanks before permanent rationing
goes into effect, combined with fears
of gas stations as to when they will
be able to get more gasoline under
the new system contributed today to
an almost general shut down of gas
station facilities.
From the American Automobile
Association, the Retail Gasoline
Dealers Inc, and individual gas sta
tions came gloomy predictions OF a
severe gas famine" extending over
Wednesday and Thursday.
A number of stations, according
to reports. were boarding what little
fuel they had In the fear that after
registering with local rationing
boards on Wednesday, they would
face delays In getting dealer "in-
ventory" coupons. They figured they
would be better of If they could
save enough gas to be able to sell
to motorists, turning in motorists
coupons.
Holds Fears BaseIess.
However, these fears were con-
sidered ungrounded by l.. P Steuart.
rationing chief, who said the gas
oline dealers could get enough
coupons from the rationing boards
to I'LL their tanks as soon as gasoline
supply companies could deliver it.
He emphasized there would be no
delay at the boards and pointed out
that the dealers who did not hoard
gas would be better of because they
would get more gas from the boards.
The dealers are supposed to take
an inventory of remaining stock at
closing time tomorrow. When they
register at their boards Wednesday.
they will get coupons for enough
gas to fill their tanks, according to
present plans.
Meanwhile, there were pessimistic
forecasts about the delivery of the
July 20 quota to the Districts TOO
stations today and tomorrow. The
limited number Of trucks available
to supply gas, in the opinion of some
onicials. would make it a physical
impossibility" for all stations to get
the two-fifths of the Today quota
allowed them between now and to-
morrow night.
Drivers Await Openings.
Before am. today lines Of motor
lists awaited the opening Of stations.
One station, which had saved 800
gallons for TODAY. WAS sold o,,f IN,
less than an hour. BY . am. a
check Of gas stations brought the
response that We're closing up,
don't know when we'll have gas
Evening star., 1942-07-20

More than 1.5O0 car owners kept
the switchboard busy yesterday with
inquiries as to where they could get
gas yesterday or today.
The AAA reported that not more
than four stations were open yes
terday and they could not remain
open long because OF the rush of
business.
Buying Orgy Seen.
Meanwhile, Sol A. Herzog. general
counsel Of the Eastern States Cas-
oline Conference, predicted yester-
day In New York that there will be
real orgy Of buying on Wednesday"
because motorists would want to use
up at once their first eight coupons
to cover two months supply in the
fear that the four gallons per coupon
under the permanent program might
be cut to two gallons per unit.
Mr. Herzog said the Eastern
motorists. instead of being merely
an experimental guinea pig" had
become permanent goat" under
the permanent coupon rationing OF
gasoline which becomes effective
Wednesday.
IF the motorist thinks he is going
to get more gasoline under the
permanent rationing plan, he Is
being badly fooled" Mr.. Herzog
added.
THE possibilities are that he is
going to get. less. We can not see
that it is going to be of any benefit
to the motorists -"
Virginia Fares Better.
He said the gasoline situation In
major cities of the Eastern rationing
area was acute although it was not so
bad in Virginia and Georgia. There
was no actual surplus of gasoline in
Florida. he said.
/, Mr.. Herzog said the OPA had re-
jected conference-pr proposed ration
ing plan fixing the limit of deliver
les to retailers at 10 per cent of the
amount received In the same month
last year on the grounds that it was
impossible to connect distribution
system based upon coupon demands
with any limitations based on his
torical sale
The conference plan. Mr.. Herzog
said, would tailor" rationing, to the
needs of individual communities and
guarantee enough gasoline to es-
sential workers, many of whom lived
as far as IS miles from the place
of their employment. He also
claimed the proposal would prevent
closing of service stations. loss of
property. non-payment of taxes and
losses to mortgages.
System to Be Explained.
In preparation for the start of the
permanent program Wednesday,
OPA experts will explain how the
system works at meeting of deal
ers tonight at $50 o'clock at 560l
Connecticute avenue NV.
On the consumer end of the ra-
tioning picture, Mr.. Steuart urged
owners of non-pleasure vehicles to
pick up their supplemental ration
books at their local boards. A num-
Der of the books are already piled on
board desks, he said. and all will be
ready Wednesday morning. He said
he thought drivers of buses. trucks
and other commercial vehicles might
have misunderstood the instructions
and might be waiting for additional
allowance books to be mailed them.
