D. T.. Faces Severest
Gasoline Shortaqe;
Price Up Il Gents
Filling Stations Jommed;
No Relief Seen Pending
New Supply Wednesday

With 21a-cent-a-gallon price
increase in effect this morning,
Washington faced today its
severest gasoline shortage, pend
ing the new fuel quota to be
available Wednesday, The Star
learned in a check of filling sta
tions in the Capital and nearby
areas.
There's line block long out
side my door" said one station oper-
ator in the Southeast.
Another operator told the Amer
lean Automobile Association, which
also made a check, that his supplies
would be exhausted half an hour
after the pumps began running.
A majority indicated they would
post mo Gas" signs before noon
today. Some planned to save a little
for sale tomorrow; some will have
none.
This situation was reflected
throughout the entire rationed area,
the Associated Press reported.
In Asbury Park, N. j., Sol Herzog,
general counsel of the Eastern Sea-
board Retail Gasoline Dealers Con-
ference, predicted that the ap-
preaching coupon rationing system
will be no better than the present.
The 2l2-cent per gallon increase
which went into effect today was
attacked in New York by Mayor
La Guardia as being discriminatory
against the East. He demanded that
the distance travelled by railway
tank cars be reduced by drawing oil
from the Midwest, utilizing lake
, barges, tankers and the New York
canals"
Gasoline is being drawn from
some parts of the Midwest, it was in
dicated by DR.. John w. Frey of the
Once of Petroleum Co-ordinator
He said that stocks in zones adja-
cent to the rationed areas are DROP
ping so swiftly that they may soon
Join the East in rationing.
One Station Opened Yesterday.
Motorists anxious to buy fuel on
the last day of cheap prices found
only one station in Washington open
yesterday. The one at Fourteenth
street and Maine avenue S.W
opened at noon and closed 25 min
. utes later, its stocks exhausted. A
lineup of about so cars had been
served.
The A. A. A. survey of the gas
situation here today surprised Off
cials by showing that a great ma
jority of stations had fuel to sell
this morning, it was said.
IF you want gas tomorrow, you'll
have to look all over town for it,"
an official commented.

WASHINGTON, April 29--The

Highest prices charged in March
of this year were established as

effective May IL on manufacture

Sterilization of the cost OF liv-

the pay raises which the Preki-

forego.
'From this point on for the
duration of the war, the ceiling
will go no higher" Henderson,
said.
Although there is nothing In
the order to prevent sellers from
lowering prices, the price struc-
ture is expected to be stabilized
at the ceiling price. Past expert
ence has been that ceiling prices
become minimum prices.
The order also allows different
prices for the same item in differ

Competition may well iron

OF most interest TO the average
consumer was the order prohibit
