Fasteners Find It Takes More
 Than Ration Cards To Get Gas,
FILLING STATIONS scANTY SUPPLY TEACHES AUTOlSTS THAT THERE'S MANY A TRICK TWIxT TRUCK AND TANK
M M x
By TOM WOLF

(NEA Service Stan COrrespOndent)
 New York, July 9-This is a gas- thirsty customers report to the un- rationed west on what life is like on the rationed Atlantic seaboard.
 You've undoubtedly read 8 lot about the ration cards-from the three-gallons-a-w "A" to the unlimited K" (soon to be discon- tinued). You may even have tried to figure out which card you'd ask for should rationing be extended to a nationwide basis. This, as we eastern motorists have discovered, is strictly waste of time.
 GASOLINE STATIONS
 RUN DRY OFTEN
 The sad fact is that so many gasoline stations, particularly here around the metropolitan area, are no difference how much your ration perpetually out of gas that it makes card says you're entitled to. The filling stations supplies are usually Tapped up within few hours after new stocks are delivered Then up goes the most familiar sign-of- times in the east-"No gas."
 "No gas" usually means Tho gas" But not always. Gas station pro- prietors have had to invent ways to protect the1r limited stocks for use of their regular customers. Thus, filling station owner, his tanks far from empty hangs out mo gas" sign. Regular customers drive up to the back door and get their cars filled from cans.
 This practice of hanging out false mo gas" signs has made the filling station business one of the most hazardous in the world. Irate customers, disbelieving these signs, have engaged in fisticuffs with and soundly boxed the ears of dealers whose tanks were in truth actually empty.
 Regular customers get some pro- lection in a variety of ways. The easiest is for a dealer to call his client and tell him when a new de- livery is expected. The autoist ar-

were congressman, Otner goVern- ment officials and state legislators who need them in pursuit of the official duties. In addition, supple rnentary rations will be issued flor use by a bona fide candidate for public office for purposes essential to the prosecution of his candidacy" and for carrying persons to and from the polls on election days.
 Trucks and busses came under the rationing plan for the first time, and will need cards to buy fuel when the program goes into effect July 9.
 While supplementary rations will be harder to get than they now are under the temporary plan, the Off, flee of Petroleum Coordinator has acted to assure adequate gasoline supplies to service stations serving war workers.
 War Workers Helped
 The OPC announced that when workers in war production plant in the east coast rationed area cannot buy enough gasoline to get to work, OPC will give immediate consideration to increasing the monthly quota of stations serving the area"
 However, dealers must agree to sell the additional gasoline only to war workers who can identify them- selves by a plant badge or pass.
 Another step ito keep the ra- toned area from fraying at the edge" was a 50-mile buffer zone ex- tending from Lake Ontario to the Gulf of Mexico and set up to pre- vent rationed motorists from driv- ing over the line and purchasing gas without ration tickets. Price ad- ministrator Leon Henderson said that an alternative solution to the 50-mile zone is being developed and will be announced before the pro- gram goes into effect.
 This alternative plan is expected to include in the rationed area those portions of New York, Penn sylvania, and West Virginina not now in the zone. Farther south the zone would be established along lines more easily defined than a blanket 50-mile extension. Motorist in those areas will have no difficulty in obtaining gasoline but motorists from rationed areas will have to use their ration coupons.
 Motorists will register today, to- morrow and Saturday for basic "A books which will give them about 16 gallons a month, and at the same time they will receive application forms for supplemental allotments.
 In order to qualify for these ad- ditional gallons,' the car operator must meet requirements for car pooling and other qualifications de- signed to reduce rastically his gaso- line consumption. The applicant will have to show that his occupa- tional mileage is more than 150 miles 8 month for the next three month period, and if that and other requirement. are met the rationing board will issue a Supplimental ra- ton in the form of a "B" or e" coupon book.
 In the event the mileage required is 470 miles or less 8 month dn- cluding 15O miles of occupational mileage derived from the "A" .book) "B" book will be issued with an expiration date fixed by the board according to predetermined sched- ule. For anticipated mileage over 47O, e" books will be issued tail-

that the woods deer fled what had always been their sanctuary-before gas rationing.
 In the overall picture, the out standing effect of the rationing has been the strengthening of commit nity life. Not only must people who formerly shopped in neighboring towns now shop at home, but trades men and laborers now must con- fine their work to their own com- munities. A painter, for example, commissioned to repaint a house only 18 miles away, turned the job down for lack of gas.
 To date, gas rationing seems to have affected not the amount of money spent so much as the place where it is spent. Chain store sales, for example, are unchanged in the aggregate, but have risen in the smaller towns, dropped off in urban centers. Housewives seem to be shopping only once 8 week, driving to stores by some share-the-ride system. Often they buy during the day, leaving the packages for hubby to pick up when he drives home at night.
