Coupons to Be Changed.

The OPA spokesman said the
agency intended to enforce the
pleasure driving ban in the north
eastern shortage area right up to
the time it is lifted.
Instructions were transmitted by
telephone yesterday afternoon to
regional and district OPA offices to
continue "unabated enforcement" of
the ban, the spokesman said. En-
forcement had been relaxed in some
areas, because of widespread reports
that the ban would soon be lifted.
The delay in lifting the pleasure
driving ban drew the fire of Senator
Aiken, Republican, of Vermont, who
told reporters that New England
States are not going to be satisfied
with any delay in abolishing the
pleasure driving ban.
New England is beginning to
think that Federal officials are doing
a job on it," Senator Aiken declared.
The Vermonter said the lifting of
the pleasure ban September /, which
OPA said it hoped" could be done,
would come at time when it would
be of little benefit as far as New
England tourist business is con-
cerned.
