CAN GASOLINE RATlONS
Be INCREASED?

As a result of the startling revelations
made public last Saturday the puolc
would be fully justified IN questioning
the necessity of maintaining the strlh-
gent gasoline rationing now in vogue
Figures released by the office of Rub
Der Director William Jeff2rS indicate
that there is sufficient scrap rubber TO
last another 37/7 years at present rate
of consumption and repleniShment. STOCK
piles now total about $4,000 tons. These
are being added to at the rate OF 36,ooo
tons a month. About $4,000 tons per
month are being taken from the piles
and processed into $4,000 tons of reclaim
rubber primarily used for tire recap
ping camelback.
This is sufficient TO meet all demands
for recaps. says the report. Some puohc
difficulty in obtaining recaps is due not
to insufficiency of material. but to poor
distribution. which soon will be correct
ed.
All this being true. we are Justified III
wondering whether gasoline rauonlng
should be continued on the present strln-
gent basis. 1t would appear that with
the Improvement of distribution methods
there will be ample recaps for everyone
and with such a huge reserve of used
rubber, production of reclaimed rubber
easily could be doubled without endan-
gering the stock pile. The public, there
fore. is fully justified in asking why
rationing hasn't been made more liberal.
There may be some explanation which
we hope will be Forthcoming for the good
of all concerned

A CONTROL on RENTALS

FL Centro is again threatened with the
possibility that OPA will institute real
rent control system here in the valley
This is the second time that this possibill-
ty has loomed large and it may we'll be
fully justified.
The less governmental restriction any
where at any time the better for those
involved in any line of business, There
fore, it would appear the height of WIS
dom for landlords to clean up their own
house, as it were, and obviate any neceS-
sity for the entrance into the scene OF
bureau officials who might create as
much injury as benefit.
Undoubtedly there has been some rent
al gouging Landlords know ii and far
landlords have fought against it. Despite
opposition it has persisted much to the
injury of many permanent Ell CentranS
and the harm done military families tenn
porarily in our midst.
Few people indeed will object to reaS-
onable rentals in tune with the times
But everybody would be justified in OBJ
jecting to outandish gouging far beyond
the demands of conditions.
The best procedure would be for land
lords to form their own checkup bureau,
possibly administered through the cham
Der of commerce for the good of owner,
tenant and community, rather than leave
the situation as it is, which constitutes
a veritable invitation to the OPA to come
in and do control duty.

(Emplfe GaZette)
The nations coal industry continues i'll
a highly muddled state Only two men,
perhaps three, know the answers to the
question buzzing over the land-and they
won't talk.
Rumors, of course, arc rife. One is
that the Hon Harold l.. IckeS ordered
by Mr. Roosevelt to do something about
the current fuss has promised the miners
higher wages Another is that the War
Labor board may be left out in the cold
when it comes to settling the dispute
A third is that government control of
the mines will be permanent.
Then there are these questions, toWlt:
Now that Uncle Sam is boss what will
be done with the profits?
Why was a 2-weekS' truce necessary?
If the WLB makes decision and John
L. refuses to accept it, what then?
Thus far there have been no answers.
When put to him Honest Harold beat
about the bush. Mr.. Lewis won't talk.
And Mr.. Roosevelt SO far as we know,
hasn't been approached.
So until that time when MeSsrs Lewis
and Ickes get together with the WLB,
the public must remain in the dark. Old
John @. Citizen is sure of one thing, how
ever, that someone ought to tell Mr.. Lewis
exactly where to get off And if he re-
fuses, then
Then what? Why, burned if we know,
Didn't we tell you the coal industry is
in one hell Of mess?

PROPOSED STANDARDS

Getting over into the proposed
standards. for grade labelling 1t is
found that whereas Grade a
tomatoes may have one fourth
square inch Of blemish per pound,
Grade B may have one-halt square
irch and Grade c may have up to
one inch. Colors, determined b.
spectroscopic analysis and comparl-
son to a color chart, may be a little
off. peel may be a little more, and
so on
But add to these differences all
the othcT requirements oi the
Food, Drug and Cosmetics act on
sanitary preparation, absence ot
foreign matter, cOloring or adul-
tcration, and you have a pretty
formidable safeguard FOR the
consuming public and the honest
manufactures. The penalties for
misbranding. by the way, are
adequate. to say the least, m
volvinc seizure and condemnation
of product, fines, and SO OH.
What the Cannery people fear Is
that the imposition of grade label
ing ON top of these standards al
readY in force under the Copeland
bill will so complicate their pro-
CeSses in this year of extra demand
and short labor supply that they
may not be able 10 put up enough
foods to meet their goals.
House committees on agriculture
and small business and OPA in
vestigation having registered their
disapproyal of grade labelling al
this time, however, Price Admins
traitor FrCntiSS Brown has in
dicatcd that he will not 90 against
Congress and may not enforce
Grade labelling orders already issued
Imperial Valley press., 1943-05-18

This grade labelling dispute that
has kicked UP such fuss among
in connection with tho
price control orders on canned
foods. isn't exactly 4 new argu-
ment. Ii has been going on Tor
roughly a quarter OF century
without getting much oi any real
solution.
About II years peo. the Gamers
themselves appealed to the cid
Feed and Drug Administration to
put the lore Of food processing on
paper and reduce technical details
of color. content. degree of per
lection and uniformity to liked
standards.
The motivc of ihc Gamers in
taking this step was ono OF sell
interest. After the crop was put up
the Gamers wanted TO go into
bank and borrow money on Their
seasons output, pending sales.
IF there were recognized quality
standards, il would br easier to
set value on the stock ana
finance loans accordingly. The
A or Fancy, Il or Choice and I
Standard grade designations were
thus first used by the trade with
out necessarily appearing on the
label of each can.
Food and drug experts labored
long and diligently to write these
original grading standards An at
tempt was made to set mp grade
labelling as part of the law il the
New Deals famous TugWell bll
but that was defeated
Imperial Valley press., 1943-05-18
STANDARDS NOW REQUIRED

Then in its place there VAS
passed the Copeland bill now
known the Food, Drug and Cos
metics act, which set up without
grade labelling the standards Of
purity now required on all canned
goods entering interstate conf
mercc after July /, 1910. Seven
foods are now covered - apricots,
cherries, fruit cocktail peaches,
pears, peas and tomatoes.
Consider the standards ol
quality required for tomatoes:
The contents oi the, can must hc
80 per ccnt tomato meat, all
tomato material With u" water
added. The tomatoes must he
ripe. They must he peeled and
there must he no more than one
square inch OF peel per pound.
There may not he more than
one fourth square inch Of blcm-
isheS 10 the pound. They must
