Learning from Experience

Assuming that nationwide gasoline rationing is in the cards, either now or after the fall elections, certain important lessons should be learned from the TO- week experiment which is approaching an end in the Atlantic Seaboard states. Let's concede that the temporary system there was experimental, that Washing ton was attacking mammoth task with inadequate experience and preparation. That is all the more reason why opera tionS should have been watched with most critical eye, in order that the perm anent machinery - whether for the east alone or for the country as whole TT might be made sound and workable.
 Two major types of trouble were ap- parent in the east almost from the start. One was individual chiseling, selfish and often brazen, apetted by many filling stations The other was maldistrlbutlon of the rationed gasoline supply. ChlSel- ing, being an obnoxious social ottenSe m addition to it's unpatriotic qualities, ap- pears to be well guarded against Tn the plan now supposed to become effective July 9.
 Everybody gets an A card. Only local rationing boards, on specified types o1 authenticated claims, are supposed to authorize more generous fuel allowances Dealers, starting with full tanks, can refill them only as they turn in consumer coupons proving actual ratloned sales. Unfortunately, unless the OPA gets puo- lie support to convince the War Produc- tion Board maldistribution of gasoline is going to be perpetuated under the new pan, for the ironic reason that WPB insists on including too many safeguards.
 If the gasoline to be made available IS properly computed, and the unit allow ance for each coupon is fixed on that basis, there is no reason for ratlonlng filling stations. During and because of the war, gasoline usage has changed. Workers have moved from their old homes to the mushroom seats of new or expanded industries But gasoline, under the sys- tenn used in the east and proposed by tke WIPE to be retained, is distributed ac- cording to 1941 usage. Too much goes where it was needed last year, too little where it is needed now.
 In some communities rationing cards aren't worth the paper they are printed on, while in others dealers have no outlet for gasoline to which they are entitled. If rationing is extended to the rest of the country, with this WIPE approved extra control, maldistribution will get in its dirty work there, notwithstanding the plenitude of petroleum in back yard wells.

Right on the Chin

Many industries have taken it on the chin since the war began. Some of them were fortunate enough to be able to con- vert their plants to wartime nanufac- turing. Many however, have been closed The latest group of manufacturers to feel the full force of the American all-out war effort comprises those engaged in producing musical instruments. A recent survey of the industry by writers for Wide World, news syndicate, shows just how the war has been brought home in this field. Disruption is mild word for what has happened.
 Only in scattered instances have man. ufacturers been able to convert to war plants. This has been true of piano makers fortunate enough by the nature of their work, to be able to swing into various types of work requiring such expert Wood-Workers and assemblers as they had employed But that isn't true of other instrument particularly those producing accordionS, harps, drums, etc. A few instruments, requiring mostly wood, like violnS or even guitars, are still being produced and may not suffer from the freezing order Presumably musical instrument manufacturers will be able to pick up where they left off after the war ends, but it will take years, naturally to reassemble trained forces, to acquire the necessary parts, to put machinery back in shape In the meantime available stocks of musical instruments are being maintained so that our armed forces won't lack for supplies. Such condi- tion is bound to put premium on exist ing supplies of instruments in private hands A horn may well be prized possession before this war ends.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-07-09
Sort of Useless

After glancing through that list of essential occupations that Paul V. Me Mutt, chairman of the War ManpoWer Commission, has compiled one might con- clude that good many of us are more or less useless in the war effort There were some 138 trades enumerated as vital to prosecution of successful war by the United States While the number of those who could qualify for these trades is probably considerable, still we wonder if the number that couldn't qualify isn't even greater. /. Strictly speaking the trades listed were technical. They called for hlgn degree of craftsmanship on the part or the individual as well as thorough Knowledge of the same. Both more or less go hand in hand as skill is acquired with knowledge and practice. Some ol our less hardy specimens of American enterprise may feel themselves more or less out in the cold now that they've dis- covered that their work is not helping to win the war, according to the McNutt list.
 But actually this isn't so. Everyone who enables normal American enterprise

their fault if they have to order married men drafted to fill a quota while other boards have an ex- cess of unencumbered eligibles.
 It is the fault of Selective Service, and the time is long past due when it should put an end to such an negotiable sys- tenn.
 TX" CARDS
 Forty-six senators and PIP rep resentatives have been revealed as "X" card holders. The list in- cluded such famed economy clam orers as Senator Tydings of Mary land and Representatives Rich of Pennsylvania, Crawford of Michi- gan and Cox of Georgia. Also, isolationiSt generalissimo Senator Burt Wheeler.
 However, one Capitol big-shot who was in on the "X" card foray somehow escaped disclosure. He is white -thatched Chesley w. Jur- ney, sergeant-at-arms of the Sen- ate.
 Jurney not only has access to an unlimited gas supply, but he gets the gas free. Further, he is ferried around by a chauffeur Qisted on the Senate payroll as a "janitor") in a sumptuous limou sine, also furnished free.
 Jurney defends this grand slam in poodle on the ground that the limousine is for official business. Just what constitutes official business" in his case is anybody's guess, for Jurney's duties seldom take him away. from the Capitol, and he lives directly across the street in the Methodist building.
 Kenneth Rolnney, House ser- geant-at-arms, who has far more responsibilities than Jurney, must supply his own car for official du- ties, but gets small allowance for its upkeep. Asked how it hap pened that I;omney's name was on the K" list, while his was omitted, Jurney replied cheerily:
 'I didn't apply for the "X' card under my own name. got it for the car itself, which is property of the United States Senate"
