 RATIONS OFFERED
Commercial Car Operators With Erroneous Certif.
 cateS to Be Served

New Haven, Nov. 24.-Temporary gasoline rations will be granted to operators of commercial motor ve- hicles whose certificates of War Necessity. owing to clerical error or other obvious errors obvious on the face of the certificates, provide for less fuel than the operators should have been granted to conduct opera tons under ODT regulations, 1t was announced today by Charles s. McMenamin, New Haven district manager,
 Through an agreement between the ODT and the once of Price Ad- ministration, such operators will upon presentation of the erroneous certificates to their OPA War Price and Rationing Boards, be given enough gasoline rat:ons for one month Operators of commercial vehicles who have filed applications for Certificates of War Necessity but have not received their certificates may also obtain temporary rations sufficient to operate through De- cemher 3l, Mir. McMenamin said.
 The holder of such a temporary ration or any holder of a certificate who is dissatisfied with the amount of gasoline that has been allowed him, may appeal at once for Q modi. fication to his ODT district offlce, after which corrected certificate will be issued if que cause for mak- ing such a correction is shown.
 Farmers and other operators of commercial motor vehicles engaged in the transportation of farm com modities and supplies should make such appeals through their county agents, or, directly, to their county U. s. Department of Agriculture War Board. The War Boards will review the individual cases and send their recommendation to the ap- propriate ODT district offices for correction.
 Gasoline allowed in the temporary rations will be subtracted from the gasoline allowance in the corrected certificates.
