Friday at 2 o'clock before Assistant
States Attorney Walter w. Smyth,
uewly-appointed OPA commissioner.
No Explanation
No reason has been advanced for
he change of plans in having po-
ice staff members accompany in
'estigators on their tours of high.
ways. Some observers believe the
investigation may not yet have
reached Waterbury and the sum-
monses for the Friday hearings in
volve residents of other towns in
cluded in the district to be covered
by the hearing commissioner but
out of the jurisdiction of local po-
lice. State OPA headquarters last
week, however, reported that in
vestigators had been sent within the
city lilsitS.
Failure of the OPA to use local
police and lack of further an
nouncement that Waterbury is be-
ing covered by investigators are be-
lieved to have created laxity in
compliance to the ban by local
opertors, as several sources report
an increase in the number of cars
parked at pleasure spots.
Mr.. Smyth attended a special
meeting of Commissioners In Hart
ford yesterday and received de-
tailed instructions on types of driv-
ing considered to be in violation of
the new regulations. A copy of the
specific types of violations today
was placed at the ration board
headquarters where operators may
obtain detailed information. Middle
bury, Wolcott and Litchfield County
towns will be included under Mr..
Smyth's Jurisdiction.
Since Mr.. Smyths appointment
numerous gasoline ration holders
have turned to him for assistance
in determining whether or not
specific type of driving falls into the
pleasure category, it was revealed,
but all inquiries have been directed
to the ration headquarters. The
commissioner has pointed out his
duties are confined to trying of
cases, and all information regrad-
ing the ban and all technical con-
siderations regarding violations are
handled by ration officials and OPA
Office on Grand street or room in
the county courthouse building on
Kendrick avenue may be used for
the purpose. Mr.. Smyth has received
no word on the number of cases to
be heard Friday. Since only three
day notice must be given to alleged
violators, it is pointed out motor
lists found pleasure-driving today
may be added to the list of Fridays
hearings.
In the gasoline ration amendment
received today at the ration head
quarters, authorization to use basic
rations is given only for occupation
al driving, for personal or family
necessity driving for which "ade-
quate alternative means of trans
portation" is not available, and for
