Ration
Books Due
by Xmas

WASHINGTON. Sept. 10
(P)-The office of price admin
istration announced today it
probably would give the nation
a Christmas present-the first
four "all-purpose" ration books
which Americans will be using
for the duration of the war.
Proving a quick method of
rationing any article or COM
modify as shortages develop,
War Ration Book No. 2" can be
used for coupon rationing, such
as is now employed in distribut-
ing sugar, or for point-system ra-
tioning, such as that used in
England, permitting a consumer
to spend" ration on different
grades and kinds of a general
type of commodity.
Each book is adequate for ra-
tioning at least two major groups
of commodities for minimum
of six months.
A total of 100000, 900 copies
of the book will be printed for
distribution hortly before
Christmas, OPA said. Each con-
sumner will obtain a book on the
basis of his previous registration
for sugar rationing.
Explaining operation of the
"all purpose" books, OPA said
that, if meats should be the next
generally rationed commodity
for example, one section of the
first book could be validated as
meat rationing coupons. Suisse
quent rationing programs could
be added as they developed.
