required TO provide rationing
authorities with data on the

. Each motorist would be
classified and issued ration cards
with which he could obtain
enough gasoline TO get TO work.
A man living 10 miles from his
office. for example. would be
allowed twice as much gaso-
line as one living only five miles

Authorities would be able Il
