Left 10 Army Post Heads

by the Associated Press.
The Army said today that local
post commanders must decide when
the advantages of trip for an
Army athletic team outweigh the
need Of conserving gasoline and rub
Der.
Ohicials said there were relatively
few interpost trips by Army teams
and that for long trips Army policy
always has been to use commercial
transportation facilities rather than
military vehicles.
No hard and fast rule has been
adopted, officials said, to meet the
current gasoline and rubber con-
servation requirements, but de-
cisions on specific cases are made
by the post commanders.
Navy officers said it was up to the
athletic ofiicer. under supervision of
district commanders, to decide
whether service equipment should
be used for athletic teams. In cases
where q contest has been arranged
between civilian and service teams,
the Navy said the Once Of Defense
Transportation had specified that
regular public transportation be
used where possible and that II this
was not possible, ODT should be
petitioned for authority to charter
buses.
