The amount Of gasoline motorists
viii obtain under ratioring has not
yet been determined. but there is
every indication that officials are
disposed TO grant motorists the max
imuH amount possible in view OF oil
transportation difficulties.
What that amount viii be cannot
be stated at the present time. be-
cause the men In charge OF the Gov
ernment's oil program will not make
q decision until the last possible
moment. Thus the amount Of gsso-

Is no ground whatsoever for specula-
tion that rstioning may be as low as
10 gallons a month. Ofncial COM
nnsnt indicates 1t win be at least
douba this amount and possibly
Substantially more.
~ should also be remembered that
ths basic ration-vhatever the
amount may be-applies only TO
those who have little use for the
car I'm connection with their busi-
ness or other necessity use Persons
with special mileage or vocational
problems involving use 70 additional
amounts OF gasoline will be given
supplementary allotments.
But even though rationing is still
nearly three weeks away, the Federal
Government has called on all motor
lists to use gasoline as sparingiy as
possible. One way OF doing this is
to vacation close to home.
Motorists already are cooperating
whoieheartediy in efforts TO conserve
gasoline and rubber. They are driv-
ing slower, they are doubling up"
and they are drastically reducing
non-essential mileage. This fact
was stressed In a telegram sent
recently by the A. A. A. TO Donald
M. Nelson, chairman OF the War
Production Board, which cited the
importance Of the private passenger
car In the transportation picture and
the necessity for making gasoline
allowances as liberal as possible, de-
pending upon actual petroleum
transportation conditions at the
time.
The apparent disposition on the
part Of officials to grant as liberal
gasoline allowances as possible, to-
gether with the evident desire of
motorists to cooperate in saving OF
both gasoline and rubber, should
make 1t possible for the rationing
program to be applied with mini
mum of dif1culty and hardship.
