Rules on Identifying
Gas Books Strengthened

The Office of Price Administration
ruled today that, beginning July %,
motorists will identify their gasoline
coupons by writing their license
number and State of registration in
ink on their face rather than on the
back as at present
The new rule requires motorists
to identify coupons as soon as new
books are issued and also to identify
coupons already in their possession
by July %. Formerly bookholders
were permitted to write in their
State and license number at the
time they purchased gasoline.
OPA said the new rule will afford
greater protection to the motorists
whose book is lost or stolen, since
the finder or thief will not be able
to pass off the coupons as his own
by writing in his license number.
Failure to write in the proper nota-
ton by July % may result in loss of
ration, officials warned.
