son in the fall of this year, and
that in the interem between now

GAS RATIONING
IS

Proposed rationing of gasoline
in Montana, along with the en-
tire United States, was pro-
tested by businessmen, labor
leaders and farmers at a meet
ing held recently at Kalispell,
a news item in the Great Falls
Tribune stated.
A petition to Montana's con-
greSStonal group and Leon Hen
derson protesting the rationing
in Montana will be filed, it was
stated.
The state produces and dis
tills more gasoline than the
population of the state can use
and con furnish all motorists
in Montana with sufficient gas
so it need not be rationed, and
at the same time furnish the
armed forces and other COM
munities with gasoline, it was
said.
Many wells, distilleries and
service stations would close in
the event of rationing gasoline
adding another burden to the
present economic condition that
stations face. It was further
pointed out that there is a
great distance between cities
and railroad and bus facilities
will not effectively handle
transportation in Montana.
It was also stated that if
Montana refineries were al
lowed to operate at capacity,
gasoline and other petroleum
products could be shipped into
Washington, making unneces-
sary rationing in that state.

A week OF
THE WAR
A Brief Summary Oh
News Highlights
OF The Won

President Roosevelt, in a spe-
cial message to Congress-, re-
duced his WPA request for fiscal
1943 from $465 million to 1888
million. He said the war effort
is drawing workers from every
available source, thereby reduc-
ing the need for a work relief
program. To meet labor short
ages, he said, even organized
migration of workers may be
necessary. The revised WPA pro-
gram would provide for an av-
erage monthly employment OF
about 400 900 persons "who will
not be hired by private employ
ers because of age, lack of Skills,
OF other handicaps."
Chairman McNutt of the war
manpoWer commission directed
the U. S. employment service
to maintain lists of skilled oc-
equations essential to war por-
duction in which a national
shortage exists, and to make
preferential referrals of workers
to employers in war industries,
He directed the WPB to CLASH
fly war plants and war products
in the order of their urgency to
the war program. He also in
structed Selective service local
boards to confer with local U.
S. employment service offices
before reclaSSifying any men
skilled in war occupations.
Mr.. McNutt said if it is pos
sible to insure full utilization
of manpower through voluntary
means, lit will be unnecessary to
put into effect egal controls
to limit freedom of action OF
workers and employers. He said
compulsion may from time to
time be necessary" however, in
the administration of the man.
power program. He stated four
fifths of all jobs in vital wal
industries can be handled by
women.
Rubber and Gasoline
The WPB said if Americans
do not conserve the tranSpor-
tation miles in their tires it may
be necessary eventually to trans
fer automobiles and tires to
communities where they are
needed more. The board reported
no rubber can be spared in
1912 or 1913 to make new tires
for ordinary passenger cars,
because the armed forces need
all the rubber the nation. can
muster from its stockpile, syn
thetic program and greatly cur
tailed crude sources. The syn
thetic program might produce
10000 tons of rubber this year
and 100000 tons in 1913, the
board said.
Price Administrator Henderson
reported a preliminary count
of car owners in the eastern
rationing area showed about 10
per cent received x ration
cards, 81 per cent received A
cards, II per cent received B-1
cards, another II per cent re-
ceived b. cards, and 81 per
cent received B-3 cards. The
OPA ruled x cards must be
surrendered if the essential pur-
pose for which they were issued
