Gas rationing for farm truck
operators is gradually being
cleared up, but it will probably
be March 81, end of the first
quarter of l943, before all the
headaches are cured.
This has easily been the big
gest pain above the neck for all
concerned-farmers, Office of
Defense Transportation, OPA
rationing boards, the farm bloc
and the Department of Agricul-
ture County War Boards which
had to cushion the shock. First
came the requirement that all
truck operators had to get a Ger
tificate of War Necessity, accom-
panied by a rather formidable
QUESTIONABLE and 24,000-Word
set of instructions. OF the mil
lion and half farmers who op-
crate trucks, at least half filled
out the applications incorrectly.
Naturally, when the Detroit
truck headquarters of the Office
of Defense Transportation tried
to issue a gasoline allowance for
form incorrectly filled in, a
lot of mistakes were made and a
lot of injustices handed out.
Some farmers got authorization
to operate their trucks less than
1000 miles a year when 5000
miles of trucking were required
to move crops to market after
harvesting, with no allowance
for hauling on the farm.
Rations of that kind obviously
did not make sense. so provision
had to be made for filing appeals
and granting temporary gasoline
rations to keep the farm in OPP
Grafton. ODT and OPA officials
now think they have this appeal
business under control. No farm
operator will have to shut down
for lack of truck and every
farmer will get as much gaso-
line, as many tires as he needs
as long as there is a supply to
dole out.

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .,
PROCEDURE REVISED

To achieve this happy ending
to sad story, ODT and OPA
have had to revise their proceed
ure considerably. In the first
place, the farm operators own
estimate of the gasoline he needs
for truck operation is now ac-
cepted without question if it is
a reasonable demand.
To clear up the appeals, ODT's
field force has been sent out in
to the country to help farmers
fill out their applications for
Certificates of War Necessity
and appeals for increases on pre-
vious allowances. ODT had 142
field offices, but in some states
they ran one office to the state,
so some 500 ODT agents had to
be sent out into rural areas like
old fashioned circuit riders to
clean up bad situations.
Furthermore, authority to
help get this farm truck gasoline
crisis removed has been delegat-
ed to transportation committees
of the 5000 County War Boards
set up by tie Department Of
Agriculture--one board for each
county in the entire u. S, These
transportation committees Will
help farmers make out their APP
plications for Certificates of War
Necessity to operate truck, and
will also help file appeals for
additional Gas allowances.
AS soon as farm truck opera
tor has filed his application or
appeal, he can be issued a card
certifying that the application or
the appeal mas been filed. These
cards aren't yet distributed gen.
orally, but ODT hopes to have
them around by the end OF Jan
uary. which was the original
deadline for filing appeals and
getting the farm truck gasoline
rationing system in operation.
Truck operators who have their
Certificates of War Necessity
with adequate gasoline allow
ances naturally don't need a
card.
ct" BOOKS TO BE GIVEN
As soon as farm truck oper-
ator has his card, he can take II
to his local Ration Board. The
card will be authority for the
Ration Board to issue the truck
operator a Temporary Trans
port Gasoline Ration This tenn
porary ration will be in the form
of a 1T" gas ration book. issued
with stamps removed for gaso-
line already consumed. The
temporary ration will be good
only until the Certificate of War
Necessity is received.
ODT believes now that it can
get all these Certificates of War
Necessity issued and have all APP
peals granted before March 81,
end of the first quarter and APP
proximately before extensive
farm operations get under way
in all but the more southern
states.
Beginning April 1, everything
will be on a regular three
months ration allowance under
the Certificate of War Necessity
program set up originally as the
now famous ODT Order No. FL
of Sept. 8. 1t was supposed to go
into effect Nov. Is but the date
was set back t. Dec. !, then Jan.
