When you drive up to an Ethyl pump
these days the dealer may tell you he has
no Ethyl, or that he can let you have only
a little.
The reason for this shortage is the
simple fact that More and more Ethyl
Is going overseas"
Failure of the Luftwaffe to prevent the
Allies from bombing practically at will,
means our airmen can make more raids;
and SO use more high-octane gasoline.
Failure of the laps to stop our Pacific
offensives means America has more bases
from which to strike; bases that must be
supplied with gasoline
Failure of the Wehrmacht to stand off
invasion means that Allied ground forces
can send their tanks, trucks, jeeps and other
motorized equipment plunging ahead
and this, too, calls for more gasoline.
MORE AND MORE ETHYL IS

This Is good news! But 1t means that
military demands for high-octane gasoline
practically every drop of which contains
Ethyl Auid-have reached an all time
high 1t means that there is less Ethyl
fluid available for civilian use.
To conserve this vital material, the Pc
troleum Administration for War recently
directed that the quantity of premium
gasoline be cut in half The total amount
of civilian gasoline was not changed by
this order, only the quantity of premium
gasoline. In our opinion there is no doubt
that this decision was correct
We feel sure that as long as the needs
Of war have first claim on Ethyl fluid you
will gladly make the best of whatever

The new military highway con-
Meeting Boiling Field and the Camp

land will be completed and opened
for public use some time before Oc-
tober. 1t was announced today by
the Public Roads Administration.
The nine and a half miles of
highway, built at the request of the
War Department, is scheduled to
become part Of a parkway after
the war. The road is laid for two
24-foot strips for one-way trafiic in
both directions. Only the eastbound
part Of the roadway is being paved
at present, however, and this will
carry two-way trafic until the
other part of the highway is COM
pieted.
The two roadways are to be sep
arated by strips varying in width
from 6 to 200 feet, depending on
the topography.
The Washington end of the new
highway is laid to connect with the
projected bridge over the Anacostia
River at South Capitol street. AT
the eastern end Of the route, about
half a mile Of Maryland State
Highway 337 has been incorporated
into the new roadway.

Once of Price Administration has
announced establishment of verifi-
cation centers in each of its eight
regions.
The Job Of the new organization
is to screen deposits of ration cou-
pons turned in by ration banks and
determine whether the ration cur
rency Is genuine and whether there
is enough of it to cover depositors'
sales. The Offices will work with
specially constructed scales, de-
tectiye lights and other scientific
checking methods. Verified ration
currency will be destroyed by shred
ding machines permitting maximum
recovery Of waste paper.
OPA said the verification centers
will relieve ration banks of the bur-
den of checking ration currency de-
posted with them.
In its announcement Of the new
checking system, OPA reported that
the only known counterfeiting of
food ration currency was in sugar
coupons, brought on by a heavy de-
mand from illicit distillers.

Bank Robber Is Denied
Writ Of Habeas Corpus

A writ Of habeas corpus sought
by Attorney James J. LAughlin on
behalf Of dilliard Sanders, con-
victed bank robber now serving q
20-year-to-nfe sentence in Atlanta
Penitentiary, was denied today by
Justice James w. Morris Of District
Court.
The court upheld the Govern
ment's contention that District
Court had no Jurisdiction in the
case and that a writ would have to
be brought before the Federal Court
for the Northern District of Georgia,
where the penitentiary is located.
Mr.. Laughlin, who recently was
indicted by a Baltimore grand jury
on charges of obstructing and i'm
peding justice during the trial of
Sanders, claimed his client had been
illegally convicted. The attorney
also argued the warden and prison
director Of Atlanta Penitentiary had
denied Sanders civil rights of con-
ferring with counsel.
Sanders was convicted with an

DeaIersComp|y
With Used-Car
Rules, 0PA Says
Several Report
Price Tags Failed
To Arrive on Time

Washington's Isl used-car dealers
today appeared to be unanimous in
compliance with the ONCE of Price
Administration ceilings on used
cars, and the great majority Of
dealers looked hopefully on the new
regulations to end Wildcat transac-
tions. of curbstone operators.
The Nations $4,000, ,0O0, 900 used
car industry began operating under
the new regulations at 1901 am.
today as prices of all cars were
pegged at levels prevailing last jan
uary.
The District OPA reported that
virtually every dealer checked by
price clerks this morning was famil-
lar with the 17-page order. In some
cases cars on display failed to show
price tags, but dealers said they had
not received tags in time.
Sees "Wildcatters" Hurt.
Many dealers had been supplied
with tags and OPA certificates of
transfer, which will be used in all
sales to attest to proper trans
action, by the Washington Automo-
tive Trade Association
Typical of the comment of dealers
was this: I'VE think the new regu-
lations will work, particularly to the
benefit of the legitimate dealer. But
it's going to hurt the wild-catter. :"
He had reference to operators of
some lots who had been buying cars
from individuals at high prices with
the hope Of making killing" With
prices pegged, these dealers stand
to lose out.
Another dealer said he believed
the program would succeed. pro-
vided it is properly enforced. Under
the program both sales between in
dividual owners, as we'll as between
dealers and individuals, must be re-
corded on the certificate of transfer.
This is used subsequently by the
new owner in applying for gasoline
rations In addition all used car
sales must be recorded with local
ration boards.
Price Lists Available.
Thus the OPA believes it will have
lull hllo"lCQSC "a oil OSCu Cdl VI dis.
actions. All boards have the new
price lists available for prospective
buyers to inspect.
Specific prices have been estab-
lished by model and body type for
% makes and about 5000 models of
passenger cars manufactured from
1887 through 1912 Cars made be-
fore 1887 cannot sell at prices higher
than those established for the near
est comparable 1887 model
Meanwhile, the OPA announced
the appointment of James F.. Boyd
of New Castle, Ind, as head of the
used-car section of the automotive
rationing branch. He has been as
sistant general sales manager of the
De Soto Motor Corp. and operated
retail automobile business in Tam
