Montgomery, Fairfax
Ration Boards Delay
New Gas Allowances
Need Of Supplemental
Fuel Must Be Shown
For Additional Cards

With hundreds of applications fo1
supplemental gasoline >ratiofig be-
fore them, oficials in Montgomery
and Fairfax Counties today an
nounced the procedure they will fol-
low in action on such requests.
In Montgomery, it was dscreed
that 10 per cent of the units on q
gasoline card must be used before
the holder can make application for
a supplementary allotment.
The Fairfax County Rationing
Board decided to require that all
requests for supplementary rations
be passed upon by the county ra-
tioning officer and the clerk to the
board. About 500 applications are
before the board.
Ordered by State Administrator.
Harry Rhodes, clerk Of the Mont
gomery County Rationing Board,
said that the 10 per cent order came
to the county rationing board from
Louis C. Burr, State rationing ad-
ministrator.
About 200 or 300 applications for
supplemental rations already have
been received, Mr.. Rhodes said. The
applications were accepted prior to
the ruling by Mr. Burr. Mr.. Rhodes
added, however, the applications will
not be acted on until the applicants
are able to establish definitely that
they require additional gasoline.
Mr.. Rhodes said that the ruling
was intended to make certain that
proof was given by persons asking
for additional gasoline.
Only Is or 20 K cards have been
brought back to the board to be
exchanged for another type, Mr..
Rhodes said. He added that no
instructions have been received
from State headquarters regarding
investigation of X card holders.
Office to Remain Open Daily.
Although the new ruling will hold
up applications for supplemental
rations for while, Mr.. Rhodes said
that the board will remain open
daily for late registrants and for
persons who wish to exchange cards
that they have already been issued.
Former State Senator John w.
Rust, chairman of the Fairfax
board, declared every effort will be
made to see that sufficient gasoline
is made available for business needs,
and in order to facilitate applica-
tions, Bertrand E. Trenis, ration
officer, and Mrs. Mollie w. Cleve-
land, clerk of the board, henceforth
will act on requests for additional
gasoline.
Meanwhile, any one who expects
to ask for more gasoline was urged
to wait until next week in order
to give the Office force time to
straighten up its records.

Mandamas Can't Force
Road Repairs, Court Holds

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, May 19.-The Court
Of Appeals has ruled that mandamus
proceedings cannot be brought to
require county commissioners to re-
pair certain roads.
Holding that construction and re-
pair of county roads and expend-
iture of road funds is question for
the exercise of discretion by the
commissioners, the court said the
proceedings could not be instituted
when no arbitrary abuse OF discre-
ton was shown to exist.
The ruling was given in connec-
ton with a case which arose in
Montgomery County when a tax
payer complained two county high
ways were allowed to become "in an
unsafe and impossible condition for
the ordinary modes of travel"
Judges Charles w. Woodward and
Stednan Prescott Of the County
Court dismissed the mandamus
proceedings and the taxpayer took
the case to the Court of Appeals.
The upper court, in a decision
written by Judge Ogley Marbury,
agreed with the county judges.

Afraid Tests
Every 10Days
Tri-Stute Blockout,
Daylight Alarms
Mapped by OfficioIs

Stepping up its plans to perfect
the metropolitan areas methods of
protecting itself, the local civilian
defense organization announced to-
day that ar raid practices every
10 days, . tri-State blackout test
and daylight alarms to give women
wardens practice now are under dis
cussion.
Col. Lemuel Bolles. executive di-
rector Of District civilian defense,
was scheduled to go to Baltimore
this afternoon with his assistant,
Maj. Leonce Legendre. to confer
with Maryland, Virginia and pos
sibly Pennsylvania ofilcials on de-
tails of a proposed three or four
State blackout.
Daytime Rehearsals.
The metropolitan area has had
only one daytime test, on a Sunday
morning. AS visualized by local
civilian defense officials, additional
daytime practices not only will give
women members of the protective
services an opportunity to 60 on
duty in their home communities, but
will test the organization of down.
town buildings.
Employees, during daytime alarm,
would 60 to shelter areas and build
ing wardens and other members Of
the emergency services would be
given q chance to rehearse. Streets
would be cleared of traffic and de-
pArtment stores would follow the
air-raid routine already outlined
Shortening the time between
blackouts is part of the plan to de-
velop the protective system to
point where practices are staged
with no advance warning. Col
Bolles said, however. that such a
drill could not be attempted until
the air and steam horns are installed
some time In June.
Periodical Tests Held Vital
I'VE cannot postpone the training
of civilians. The only way We can
do this" he said, lis through peri

The three or four practices a

day as well as night alarms. The
night tests probably would be called
for early in the week to inconven-
fence as little as possible the Thurs
day night shoppers, Friday night re-
ligious worShipers and Saturday
