Eastman Reiierates Plea
For End Of State Auto Curbs
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Joseph B. Eastman, director of
Defense Transportation, asked the
States again today to lift auto
license and other restrictions which
hamper defense workers who have
to move across State lines from one
project to another.
Mr.. Eastman said that while the
Governors agreed last summer to
recognize license plates of cars from
other States. mo agreement had
been reached on the meaning or
applicability of the term, reci-
procity."
He said many defense workers still
are required to buy new license
plates for their cars and trailers
when crossing State lines and have
been complaining to him.
These workers." he said, "are en-
gagged on vital projects and their
willingness to travel from place to
place is a great contribution to the
war effort. Agreement among the
States In recognizing the validity of
automobile licenses issued by other
States will facilitate the travel OF
the workers and will remove a seri-
Gus obstacle to the successful prose
cution of the war"
