In Chicago. similar blizzard of
applications had been received. Of
flcials in Cleveland have sent in a
report on the situation there, pro-

Locally, officials said that it. had

staff of school teachers, Govern

sons who have been working day

getting the job done.
If an excess amount of ration
coupons should be distributed in
the 30 States where the fuel pro-
gram has been ordered, the results
may be serious The general OBJ
jective of the fuel rationing pro-
gram was to effect a reduction of
about 33 per cent in oil consump-
ton in furnaces.
An OPA official said that so far
this goal had not been achieved.
Because of granting extra rations to
homes where there are children,
sick people, etc, it was estimated
that the overall cut would be about

Judged Bad Public Policy.
A reliable source said it was felt
that the announcement of a cut,
following Mr. Ickes' testimony
would be bad public policy. Instead
at the urging of OPC officials-it
was decided to try to find other
means for reducing consumption
and increasing shipments.
In the latter connection, the OPC
announced yesterday that an addi-
tional $1,000 barrels of crude oil will
flow daily to the East Coast shortage
area as result of adjustments made
recently on number of pipelines
The exact date when this increase
will start was not disclosed.

too generous in allowing ration

An OPA statement that increased

householders, spokesman said, but
does mean it may be impossible to

cry designed to permit an increase

said, that supplies will be sufficient

Since the weather has been milder
than usual in most of the rationed
area, those who have been prudent
in their use Of fuel oil now should
have a reserve to supplement their
rations when colder weather comes,
Mr.. OLeary said.
In the meantime, new complica-
tions were developing in the oil
rationing program. Reports reached
OPA officials that local rationing
boards in many places were having
trouble with the paper work attend
ant on the allotment of oil.
1t was reported that in some areas
rationing officials-in an effort to
speed up distribution of ration cou-
pons-were using short cuts in
figuring the amount of oil to which
consumers were entitled. 1t was
said that, as result, many errors
were being made-most of them

Deadline Extension Seen.
The OPA spokesman said that be-
cause of the troubles the local
boards are having, it would prob
ably be necessary to extend the
December l deadline on which deal
ers were supposed to require coupons
Tor fuel oil purchase. Not more than
helf OF the coupons have been dis
trlbuted yet, he added.
l.. P. Steuart, local rationing di-
rector, said that the situation was
well In hand in Washington. Most
coupons will be in the hands of con-
sumers here by Monday. He en-
phasized that all fuel rations for the
District had been figured out with
extreme care.
1t was learned that OPA offices in
New York, Chicago and Cleveland
were having many difficulties in dis
trlbutlng coupons. In New York,
for instance, it was said that local
boards had turned back to the re-
gional Office some 100000 applica-
tions for fuel oil ration coupons.
The local boards had been unable
to work out the complicated form by
which the ration is computed. In
New York, the entire OPA staff was
put to work to process the applica-
tions. They labored day and night
Sundays and holidays.
But by last Tuesday, it was said
they had processed only $4,000 of the
applications. In order to speed up
the process, they were making rough
estimates rather than figuring out
the application in detail. Saving
