with much interest the first visit

AutOists Told
To Prepare For
Extra Walking

WASHINGTON-The office of
price administration cautioned
Eastern motorists this week to
prepare for plenty of extra walk
ing under the new coupon gaso-
line rationing program taking eff
feet July %.
Asserting that the ney plan "is
going to be tougher than the av-
erage car user appears to realize"
Price Administrator Leon Hender-
son asserted that thousands of
motorists who now have ''B" or
"X" ration cards care going to
get along on a basic "A" coupon
book of less than four gallons per
week.
"They are going to want to ar
range to share rides in order to
make the ration 60 as far as posi-
ble," he added.
OPA said its warning was is
sued because of the apparent i'm
preston gained by many motorists
that there had been a liberaliza-
ton in the amount of gasoline to
be rationed under the new plan.
1.-THE exact opposite is true"
Henderson declared. while the
minimum coupon book will grant
fraction of gallon more per
week than the CAP cards grants
under the temporary rationing,
the conditions, that must be met
to obtain supplemental rations
under the new plan are so strict
that most auto owners will have
to get along on the minimum"
He said that two-thirds of the
Eastern motorists now had some
form of extra ration above the
minimum.
