Senator Murray
Is Opening Fight
On Ration Rules

Just what Is going to happen with
regard to gasoline rationing Is sttll
one of the problems Of the day. RAJ
tioning boards do not know. Congress
men do not know. So far as can be
seen, there is none of the promised
relief" in sight for western states
where long distances make automo-
bile travel more essential than in the
cities Of the east
Yet an OPA official in Great Falls
stated mofficially Wednesday that
gasoline viii be provided for all es-
sential business and industrial travel,
also that 1900 tires have been al
lotted to Great Falls and that the tire
problem shortage is near solution.
Gasoline rationing goes into effect
Dec. l. Senator Jim Murray of Mon
tana said in a radio address that he
is going back to Washington to try to
blast the OPA into the open with re-
gard to allowing enough gasoline to
carry on essential industrial and
enterprises in Montana

QuaJe STOCKS OF gasoune, despite thg
voluntary curtailment in civilian use
of motor fuel Military projects are
taking all the gasoline the Montana
Irefiners can produce and some of them
are having difficulty in caring for
their normal business. It Is apparent
that the rationing Of gasoline will not
Immediately affect the Montana in

actually increasing and win increase
even more.
With Montana called upon to supply

Voluntary rationing Of meat on

person rather than meatless days
is the answer TO Detroit's threat
ened meat shortage. Mayor Ed
ward j. Jeffries Jr. was informed
today-but almost too late.
Word of the voluntary rationing
program was contained in a tele-
gram to the mayor from WASH
ington which came after Jeffries
had already proclaimed Tuesdays
as meatlesS days.
Signed by Morse Salisbury for
the food requirements committee
of the WPB and the owl, the
telegram stated that meatless
days were not in accord with
plans of the committee in meeting
the shortage.
"We think that with a nation

toward the conservation of
meat than by proclaiming meat
less days. This will he on a
basis OF 2Ii pounds OF meat a

Jeffries yesterday prepared a
statement proclaiming meatless
days on Tuesday at the request OF

mation. however. on the basis OF
