While that committee, of which

The Senator took the floor today
to give the Senate the following re-
port on the re-examination: Of the
888 cases, all but 1923 are now either

| New Gas Rules

~ the Associated Press,

by luG hSsOCldtSu IiSsS.
The Office of Price Administration
decided officially today that the
rules on pleasure and business driv-
ing will not be changed in spite Of
the reduction, effective Sunday, in
the value of "a gasoline ration cou-
pons in the East from four to three
gallons each.
After meeting of ranking Off
cials, a spokesman said the rules are
these:
l. Holders of "a" "a asoline books
may use their ratioris for any pur-
pose they choose, including such
pleasures as driving to race tracks,
although the Government hopes
non-e essential driving will be limited
voluntarily.
2. Holders of "B' and &C" books
may use 80 miles a month for "other
purposes but must use all the re-
naming mileage permitted by their
gasoline ration for ''occupational
driving" Technically this permits
'B" and &C" book holders to do some
pleasure driving, but officials said
local ration boards were justified in
being suspicious if cars using "B"
and "C' rations appear at such
places as race tracks.

Standardized Products
To Meet Public Needs.

BOSTON, Nov. 19.-Price Ad-
minstrator Leon Henderson said
today that civilians could expect
next year an increase In victory
models, or standardized and SIM
plified civilian goods, as we'll as
an extension of rationing.
Mr.. Henderson spoke to the first
New England War Conference,
which received message from Pres
ident Roosevelt expressing approval
OF the free exchange of ideas
rough regional discussions"
throughout the Nation as an aid to
conduct of the war and formation
of better postwar period.
Paul V. McNutt, chairman of the
War Manpower Commission, told the
meeting that in the future defer
ment from military service will de-
pend more and more on the kind of
work man is doing and less and
less on whether he has dependents
or not.
Mr. Henderson said that increased
Simplilcation and standardiZati ton
will 60 hand in hand with price and
rationing controls" in 1943.
There are three basic reasons for
standardizing and simplifying" Mr..
Henderson said. First, these tech
niques allow our civilian population
to get the absolute maximum out of
a limited and allocated supply of ma :
terials and labor Second, they re-
duce actual cost, and, third, they aid
in the determination, simplification
and enforcement of wartime price
and rationing controls"
Calling attention to some victory
models already in production, in
cluding bicycles, Mr.. Henderson
warned his hearers not to be fooled
by that illustration.
"All victory. models are not con-
fined to the durable goods field
alone" he said You can have
them in womens stockings-or In
foods for that matter.
For this reason don't be sur
prised to find an increasing amount
of grade labelling during the months
to come Remember this, vic
tory model is built to Government
specifications. These specifications
take into account the amount of
material available: its essentially
and use and finally the problem of
distribution. Victory models-be 1t
can of grapefruit or a pair of
mems work overalls-are tied to

Battered and torn by many Jap

Boise came home from the Solomon
Islands battle zone today with the
extraordinary record of having been
chiefly instrumental in sinking six
japanese warships in single en-
gagement.
The 10,000-ton vessel, classed as
a light cruiser because she bears
