PLEASURE BANS
 ORDERED AGAIN
Continued from Page D

Continued from Page D beaches and other places where their presence is prime facie evil dence of a violation.
 There has been steady increase in gasoline consumption by pas senger cars since the honor system went into effect in March, Brown said, despite repeated warnings that the situation was critical and de- spite the cut in rations when the original pleasure ban was lifted.
 But this time," he warned, "the situation is so serious that we can- not permit the few who might put their selfish desires ahead of pa triotk1n to jeopardize the war ef- fort. For this reason enforcement will be pressed with all vigor."
 Driving restrictions will be similar to those which applied during the original ban. Henceforth, gaso- line may be used only for trips con- nected with the motorists occupa- ton or with family or personal necessity. All other driving even vacation travel - Is forbidden.
 Brown indicated the current crisis can be expected to continue in- definitely as the armed forces pre- pare for vastly greater offensives to come.'
 "'The armed forces must be sup piled not only with gasoline but also food" he said. Adequate food production requires that farm tractors keep running now and for the critical harvest weeks to come"
 In a statement explaining the new ban, Brown said that on May IS Petroleum Administrator Harold l.. 1ckes had warned that civilian consumption of gasoline in the east must be reduced at once because supplies could not be transported to that area in sufficient quantity. On the same day Brown recalled that he urged public support of Ickes' appeal and warned of drastic action, If necessary.
 "The time has come to act" he said. ITO delay longer would con- stitute gross negligence of OPAs duty to see that supplies of scarce commodities are distributed equit- ably and to those who need them most in the war effort
 Brown pointed out that the slight increase in the allotment of gaso- line for civilian use last March was not large enough to permit any in- crease in essential driving that 1t had to be reserved to meet anticipated agricultural needs. The allotment was raised in April and again in May again for farm purposes and not for pleasure driv- ing.
 June Same as May
 Ickes recently informed Brown that the allotment for June would have to be the same as May-356,- 900 barrels a day-and that "the situation now called for drastlcally reduced consumption If we were to meet military demands and farm needs"
 Pointing out that reserve stocks in the east now were 25.5 per cent of normal--an all time low Brown continued, MT. Ickes declared that

Similar Restrictions

Washington, May 20-(UP)-The new restrictions on pleasure driv- ing are similar to those applied last winter. Gasoline may be used only for trips connected with the motor ist's occupation or with family or personal necessity.
 Family or personal necessity driv- ing includes (blt is not limited to-:
 Essential shopping getting medi- cal attention, attending religious services, attending funerals, attend- ing meetings of groups or orgailiza- tions essential to the occupation or profession of the person using the vehicle; meeting an emergency In" volying threat to life, health or property, or for instruction or training in meeting or preparing to meet such emergencies.
 Non- essential trips specifically prohibited by the ban include (but are not limited to-: driving to places of amusement, recreation or entertainment (such as theaters, amusement parks, concerts, dances, golf courses, skating rinks, bowling alleys or night clubs; sporting events (sllch as races or gameS {; social club meetings; sightseeing, touring and vacation travel; mak- ing social calls.
 Members of the armed forces on leave or furlough are exempt from the ban to visit relatives and make other social calls.
 Enforcement Confirmed
 Boston May 20.--CUP)-With the gasoline shortage growing more acute, police and OPA Investigators prepared today to enforce the new pleasure driving ban throughout New England.
 New England's gasoline reserves were at critically low point. The OWI presented the following gaso- line investory figures as of Marchc l2 when the situation was even more favorable than 1t is at present.
 Portland Me. and Providence, R. I. had scEcely one days supply on hand while Worcester and Ports- mouth, N. H. had three days sup ply.
 OPA Regional Administrator Ken meth B. Backman sad he had called upon federal officials to re- strict gasoline sales in New Eng land to three gallons per customer until the situation clarified itself"
 "When people understand that two tankers filled with gasoline taken from the cast coast are as good as three from the gulf coast because of our nearness to North Africa" Bacl;man said, q blieve they vii be reasonable In accepting the new order"

torpedoes, and shot down one. An other was probably destroyed and 8 third damaged.
 (The German radio said that Nazi bombers attacked Gran harbor dur ing the night)
 The biggest air fight of the day occurred between the Sicilian coast and the Egadi Islands, just west of Sicily. where the 50 enemy fighters attacked the Fortresses. The fight lasted 20 minutes, during which 10 enemy planes were shot down in battles that ranged from 10000 feet to about sea level.
 "They would simply swish up and attack from all angles" said Sgt. D. W. Fauret, fortress radio operator from St. Mary's, o. T think they must have been desperate since they had no effect on us during the bombing runs"

 American ground forces known to be deployed against Europe, in ad- dition to the Fifth Army, include the Second Corps of four divisions which fought in Tunisia; certain troops in Britain. northern Ireland and Iceland, and certain supply forces in the Middle East. Many of ..le American ground forces in North Africa came from the large concentration previously established in Britain.
 In the Pacific, besides the Sixth Army there is an army corps in the Solomons, and substantial ground forces in Hawaii, Alaska, the Aleu- tians and numerous other Pacific Islands. The Island garrisons repre- sent in the aggregate an important unknown factor.
 Some weeks ago 1t was disclosed that U. S. Army Forces overseas numbered 1,500,0oo. The figure now probably is approaching 100000. The total of navy, marine and coast guard personnel is believed to be ap- preaching the same figure, 8 sub- stantial proportion of which are in combat against the enemy.
 Thus, even though majority of U. s. Army ground forces overseas may be deploSed against Germany and Italy the overall majority Of American forces still could be di- rected against Japan by virtuel Of the big majority of the navy. ma rine and army air force units in the Pacific.
