Latest OPA
Gas Ruling

A new OPA amendment which
provides increased supplies Of gas

dent of the Isabel Management
company. declared here last week
In a report on --asoline rationing
to the Booker T. Washington Trade
Association, Isabel declared that
the new amendment discriminates
against the small business man ard
especially handicaps Negro business
men who must do as much driving
as statesmen in conducting a nor
NAL days business.
Under this new OPA ruling.
Isabel declared, about ninety per-
cent OF the Negro business men are
left out for they still get only about
nine gallons OF gas week The
ruling provides an increased
supply OF motor fuel for hospital
and medical supply statesmen, but

a great amount of shopping 10 DO IL

larger retail houses no provisions

The entire gas rationing program

truth II that there Is plenty OF gas

driving the worker must do 70 and

not only unfair -ut is the greatest
source Of wasted motor fuel.
Police records show that the ma
jority OF those involved in drunken
driving cases are workers with c
cards who apparently. have enough
gas to joy ride while on drinking
orgies. The Booker T. Washington

ST. LOUISIANA - John l..
Lewis was charged with having
done a disservice 10 America and
TO organized labor in permitting
the strike OF his United Mine Wor-
kers. Accusations were made by
William Sentner., general vice-pres-
ident Of the Clio United Electrical,

America at a conference on Negro
problems called Sunday by the I'M

Sentner said the miners went out
because they were falsely advised
that prices could not be controlled.
rs the problem OF racial dis
elimination a war problem? What
do you think OF the charge made
by employers that the reason they
discriminate is because the white
workers won't work alongside Ne
groes1 Can Negroes solve their
problems as a racial group by them
selves?"
In panel discussions II was widely
agreed that racial discrimination is
a wartime problem. while there was
a difference OF opinion as TO wheth-
er il had been increased or less
