Washington, July 6-lNS-A new
promise by the American Govern
ment OF increased aid TO China and
further intensihcation OF the war
against Japan today is expected 10

Washington. July Gins The
OPA today issued new regulations
in the gasoline rationing program
requiring endorsement Of coupons
on the face instead OF on the re-
verse side, as in the past.
Further. the regulations stated
all a" b" and &C coupons
must be endorsed as soon as they
are received by the applicant. in
stead Of when the gasoline is pur-
chased from the filling station
Immediate endorsement Of the
coupons, OPA declared, would aid
greatly in controlling the black
market in gasoline and gasoline
coupons. and would save time al

The new regulations go into ef-

Thousands OF sunburned vaca-
tionists poured into swarming term

A state.by-state survey showed
that 81 drownings rivaled traffic ac-
cdents as cause of death during
the three.day period. The remain
ing SO fatalities resulted from home
accidents, shootings and suicides.
Indiana and Pennsylvania with
II deaths each supplanted Cali
fornia as the scene OF the most
holiday fatalities. Indiana report
ed six drowning six highway
deaths and two deaths from miscel-
laneous causes. In Pennsylvania,
10 traffic deaths. eight caused by
one accident, one drowning and
