0. P. A. Permits, Steuort Bars
Pleasure Driving on B Card

all efforts last night were unsuc-
cessful. Mr. Steuart has an un-
listed telephone Some one in his
office late yesterday said it was not
known where Mr.. Steuart was.
Conformation Obtained.
During the afternoon two other
officials from the o. P. A. informed
The Star that their opinion con-
formed to the information given
from the Office of Mr.. Henderson.
A call TO one of these officials late
last night Inrmed this interpre-
tation.
Finally. still attempting to get an
explanation from local rationing au-
thorities, a reporter called Whitney
Leary, o. p. A. director for the Dis
trict of Columbia. He had been i'll
at home but came to the telephone.
He agreed with Mr.. Steuart's origi-
nal Interpretation of the morning
press conference. Neither the B
card nor the X card are designed
for pleasure driving, according to
Mr.. Learys Interpretation of the
regulations He said he had been
so informed by some one in o. P. A.
The holder of an A card is asked
no questions as to how he plans to
use the three gallons a week he
receives. Every one agrees he can
drive for pleasure if he desires.
But the B card holder? What will
he do? AS soon as The Star can
obtain an uncontested answer to
the question, we will be happy to
print it.

So you are wondering whether
that B-1, B-2 or B-3 gasoline ra-
ton card will permit you to use
your gasoline to take drive in the
country or whether the gasoline
has to be used in your work or
getting to your place of business.
The Star sought yesterday to re-
solve the question once and for
all. Here is all that could be
learned:
Yesterday morning Leonard P.
Steuart, chairman of the Gasoline
and Sugar Rationing Board told a
press conference that a holder of
a B card must use the gas bought
on it only for driving to and from
work. and in pursuit of a gainful
occupation Any other driving, he
said, would be illegal.
Puzzled over enforcement of such
regulation and its conflict with an
earlier o. P. A. announcement, The
Star called the Office of Price Ad-
ministration, specifically the Office
of Price Administrator Henderson.
A secretary got an answer.
Henderson Offices Interpretation.
1t was this:
The B card is based on the mile
age of driving back AND forth be-
tween home and work on business
If, however, the B card holder wants
to do little pleasure driving there
will be no objection to his saving a
little gas for that by riding to work
with friend or on a streetcar or a
bus. If he does too much pleasure
riding he may find himself at the
end of the ration period entirely out
of gas and maybe out of luck for a
way to go to work.
A reporter called Mr.. Steuart's
office to inform him of this inter-
probation by the o. P. A. Mr.. Steuart
was in conference. A secretary
promised courteously enough that
he would call The Star later.
When no one from Mr.. Steuarts
Office called, reporter tried again
to get him on the telephone. Mr..
Steuart still was in conference, but
his ONCE promised that he would
call later.
Another reporter attempted re-
peatedly to reach Mr.. Steuart but

One who rides in an electric car

of boating on calm lake. Steering

another bar at the hand There are
three speeds for starting, one for

through a foot pedal. The car bears
no speedometer, but velocity is at
no time likely to become excessive.
The electric auto is unique in that
two passengers may sit in front of
the driver, facing and chatting with
her. Mrs Lea, who frequently
braves traffic of nearby Dupont
Circle, says this is no handicap. She
