Official sources disclosed today
that the OPA is shaping a far
reaching program for drastic cuts
in civilian gasoline consumption,
with special emphasis on country
wide curtailmcnt of "B" and CO
allotmentS.
The plan, not yet ready for an
nouncement. admittedly has been
adopted as result of severe criti-
cism by Petroleum Administrator
Ickes of loose" OPA gasoline ra-
tioning policies.
The OPA. as the first step In
the new program, has sent repre-
sentativeS 10 foea rationing
boards. urging them 10 cut down
on "B" and &C" allotmcnts
Meanwhile, Thomas p. Henry,
president of the American Auto
mobile Association, declared the
goverpment program for equaliz-
ing gasoline consumption in the
East. Midwest and Southwest is
practically non-cXistent except as
a theory.

DR.. Fishbein added that there still
are limitations to our knowledge Of
vitamins and their usefulness.
- He said some claims made for va
rious vitamins were not generally ac-
cepted scientifically and the record
of their promotion and sale repre-
sented "one of the most extraor-
binary accounts Of gigantic promo
ton beyond established merit that
ever has been available in the same
field" -..-..
He asserted there has not been
sufficient evidence to warrant such
claims as those that the giving of
vitamin A to drivers will diminish
accidents at night; that extra
amounts of vitamin A will prevent
colds. influenza or other respiratory
infections: that massive doses of
vitamin D will improve chronic
arthritis, or that vitamin E is bene-
flcial in cases of degeneratiye dis

Use Of Pills for Food

Fishbein Declares
BY the Associated Press,

by the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH. Oct. 2i.-Subsist-
ence solely on pills made of food
concentrates is to be denied the pres
ent inhabitants of the world. in the
opinion of DR.. Morris Fishbein,
editor of the Journal of the Amer
lean Medical Association.
He told the war conference of the
American Dietetic Association last
night that noteworthy possibility
OF the future was the enrichment or
enforcement of natural foods with
vitamins-in order to make effective
foods which now are inadequate for
nutrition needs.
But the time will not come" Dr.
Fishbein predicted, within the exist
ence OF any man now alive when it
will be possible to subsist on pills of
any kind or to subsist properly on
food concentrates. There is much
more to eating than essential in
gradients"
He decried the promotion and
