Voluntary Restriction
OF Pleasure Travel
ailing, Eastman Says
Must RedoubIe Efforts.
He Tells Transport Men;
Troop Moves Impeded
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE. Oct. 15.-Redou
Government efforts to discourage
civilian pleasure travel were in pros
pect for the Nation today, with
rationing of all travel the alternative
if the failure Of voluntary measures
continues.
Director Joseph B. Eastman of
the Once of Defense Transportation
told TOO trucking and railroad off,
cials last night that pleasure travel
still is impeding troop movements
and the distribution of war ma
terials," and added:
I'VE have discovered that 40 per
cent of the 100000, 900 passengers
on the railroads alone still are
travelling for pleasure.
I'VE had hoped to solve this
volume Of travel by voluntary
methods. We've tried to discourage
this travel by abolishing passenger
traffic to conventions, by the elm
nation of extra and special sections
designed for pleasure traffic and by
the elimination of little used pas
senger cars. Now it appears our
efforts must be redoubled."
Mr.. Eastman said gasoline ration
ing contributed to the new load of
necessary travel and commented:
Add to this load an army of T.
100000 men which is planned for
the country within the next year
and you will have total transpor-
tation load which our present facii-
ties cannot meet"
Mr.. Eastman told the railroaders
that materials for building new roll
ing stock would be forthcoming soon
and said the Nations railroads car
ried 80 per cent more freight thus
far this year than last. The ton
mage last year set record.
