OF course, you might be living near
one of these adjoining states and get
to see them, but the possibilities are
very small, considering how gas ra-
tioning is cutting down highway
travel.
The reason for the use of 1925
license for the current year,
1913, is due to a WPB order, of
March Is, 1912, curtailing the
use of steel for license purpose
by 80 per cent.
State officials have devised many
schemes to overcome the obstacles
brought on by the lack of steel for
plates.
Some states will use a windshield
sticker, some will use date tabs on
the license plates, while even wood
en-, fibre board tags will be avail
able.
About half of the states will
continue to use the old plates
with small tab, or strip las
shown above) attached to them.
OF these states, IL will not even
use steel for the purpose, regis
tration will be shown by a wind
shield sticker.
Florida and Massachusetts will use
both tag and windshield identiGca-
ton.

still Corte stuck-through Sic

Corte was on his way TO the
Naples postoffice with negatives
when suddenly he was smacked
down by an explosion. He picked
himself up and went TO work -
for he never got caught apart
from his camera-and soon sent
out the pictorial story OF havoc

He wrote home more about his
mule than about his wounds.
Jeeps were scarce around the
Kasserine Pass. Wanting to get
there, he rode ahead of the
troops along the fluid front. The
mule baked q mile or so behind
the enemy's line. Corte got off
and crswled back, bullets pop

OPA Fuel Oil Ration System
To Be SimpIifed for 7943-44
Consumers Will Be Given Opportunity
To Fill Their Tanks During Summer

sought in obtaining maximum COM
pliance with the June Is deadline
The renewal form may be returned
by consumers mail, so that no long
waiting lines at local ration boards
will be necessary.
Two problems arise in reissuing
rations if the circumstances have
changed since the original issue. 1t
has been decided to adopt an honor
system for changes which reduce
fuel oil needs, and by simple form
to bring out changes that increase
them.
Consumers will not be asked to
describe or to identify downward
changes, but simply to estimate
the reductions in fuel oil require
ments and notify the local board.
The reporting of upward changes
in oil needs has been postponed
until after October l. Consumers
who know now of such changes will
receive their rations on the basis
of this years circumstances, how
ever, and will have an opportunity
in the fall to apply for an addi-
tional allotment if they still need
it.
Will Correct Inequities.
Notifications in the rules are
being made to take care of ineuuities
which showed up during the last
heating season. Evidence has been
accumulated showing that the floor
area formula for private dwellings
produced oisproportionately large
cuts for small homes.
An analysis of over 10000 cases
indicated need for some upward
adjustment in the formula allowance
for centrally heated private homes.
This will apply to dwellings, but
varying as to floor space in the
different zones. The rule laid down
is for upward adjustments as fol-
lows: For dwellings up to 600
square feet in Zone A; 800 square
feet in Zone B; 900 square feet in

With 0PA Violations

Quoted Enormously,
House Record Shows
BY the Associated Press,

DR.. Paul Nystrom. president Of
the Limited Variety Stores Asso-
citation, Inc, told the House Small
Business Committee. printed hear
ings showed today, that In a study
by the C1O at Detroit 1t was found
that from IS to 65 per cent of all
OF the retail stores visited were in
violation Of OPA orders"
At the time DR.. Nystrom testified,
he was quoted enormously as say
ing that IS to IS per cent of the
6,240 stores represented by his as
sociation had violated regulations of
the Once OF Price Administration.
The CIO investigation in Detroit
was not connected with the VARIETY
stores represented by DR.. Nystrom's
association.
1t was Just beyond human pos-
sibllity for retailers, such as the
ones IN the variety trade, to keen
up with OPA's hundreds of orders
regulations and amendments. he
said.
AS to violations, DR.. Nystrom COM
| mented:
Violations Prevalent.
Il would rather expect that one
could go into almost every store
IN the United States. regardless Of
whether 1t were chain store or an
independent store, and find viola
tlons under these many orders"
He suggested simplification and
codlf1cation Of OPA orders to aid
understanding and compliance.
Lew Hahn, general manager of the
National Retail Dry Goods Associa-
tlon, declared yesterday that Ger
tam influences in OPA care very
little about the small business con-
Germ; the PHILOSOPHERS of this group
appear to be distinctly totalitarian. :"
Appearing before a House Com
merce Subcommittee investigating
OPA regulations, Mr.. Hahn said he
spoke for about 5000 stores.
Cites Reasons for Failure.
Never before in the history of
our Government did any Federal
agency start out with more in it's
favor than the Once of Price Ad-
ministratlon when Leon Henderson
took the freshly granted mandate
OF Congress, and something like
500, 900, 900 to undertake price con.
troll" Mr.. Hahn told the committee.
He said that year of failure. in
my Judgment, has been due pri-
marily to the recruiting under the
banner OF OPA of every disgruntled
crackpot, every disgruntled reformer
and every half-baked young law
student who could be enlisted in
that service"
All of this might have been 50
different if the attitude of OPA
people had been one which invited
cooperation" he said, and if
somewhere near the top there had
been real conviction that the men
OF business are as capable of pa
trlotlc devotion to the cause of the
Nation as any of the young lawyers
| and assistant professors who have
been set over them"

IS degrees appears to be an
inaccurate measure of fuel re-
quirements. Temperatures during
q. considerable number of months
of the year drop well below 65 de-
grees during certain part of the
day and rise well above IS degrees
during the warmest part of the day.
The new regulations give certain
consideration to large homes, where
the old regulations produced real
hardship in certain cases. The
maximum area to be included for
a single person in calculating next
years ration will be raised from
1000 to 5000 square feet. The in
crements will remain at 600 square
feet for the second person, plus 300
square feet for each additional per-
son.
Consumers who require fuel oil
and kerosene for non-heating pur-
poses will not be included in the
general registration in June but will
continue on their present schedules.
Commercial, industrial and govern
mental rations will continue to be
issued quarterly.
Cooking, lighting and other do
mestic, institutional and agricul-
tural rations will be issued on a
semi iannual basis. according to the
present schedule of expiration. The
30-day overlap period for renewal of
these rations will be continued also.
Coupon Plan Simplified.
The coupon system has been SIM
plif1ed. particularly with reference
to values. Also the writing of serial
numbers on the coupons has been
eliminated.
The question of the proper con-
version policy for next winter is
still, it is said. under considera ton.
An announcement may be expected
in the near future. There may be a
recognition of a lesser need for con-
versions in some areas than in
others.
No e-registration of suppliers and
dealers will be required in making a
transition to next years program.
If need for it should develop, it will
be put off until after the summer
season.
