half away, across the exposed sands.
The four of us began an obstacle

heard a shell whistling toward us,
we fell fat on our faces. Then we
would get up and run few yards.
When the planes came over with all

dive into the nearest shellhole. Then
we would climb out and run back
some more. We finally made it, and

Travelling Statesmen
To Receive More Gas
Under Revised Plan
OPA to Issue Orders
Granting Enough Fuel
For Essential Needs
By JAMES Y. NEWTON.

The Office of Price Admins
tration will issue within the next
three weeks revision of ration
ing instructions which will pro-
vide extra gasoline for the eS-
Sential needs of nearly a million
travelling statesmen throughout
the United States, it was learned
today.
Loosening of rationing regulations
for statesmen was decided on after
conferences between Price Admin
istrator Henderson and Rubber Di-
rector William F. Jeffers
Statesmen now are restricted to a

In the East, where 'A' coupons are
worth only 3 gallons, this limits
them to approximately 500 miles a
month.
Under the new instructions it is
expected that statesmen who can
prove their need and show that
other means of transportation are
inadequate will be given the min
imum number of &C" books neces-
sary to cover their routes on a
strictly essential basis.
Statesmen and members of Con-
gress have protested to OPA here
tofore in vain that restrictions
placed on their driving worked a
hardship on them and robbed them
of their means of livelihood.
Last summer OPA issued a state
ment which said there isn't enough

ers and provide for heating homes. y
1t was said that by denying extra
rations to statesmen enough fuel oil
could be transported to the East to
heat 167 900 homes all winter.
The average salesman in peace
time drove his automobiles approx
imately $4,000 miles a year on bus
mess. according to American Auto
/ mobile Association figures So it is
held likely that statesmen will get
enough gasoline under the new Or
der to satisfy their wartime needs,
though they will probably be cut
below the $4,000 miles a year.
Mr.. Jeffers is said to have taken
the initiative in the move to get
more gas for statesmen. He is re-
ported to have convinced Mr. Hen
derson that statesmen not only play
an important role in the Nation s
economic life but could be invalu-
able to OPA in explaining price
