Supplemental Gas
Applicants Must
Present Mileage

All applicants for supplemental
gasoline rations must present their
mileage rationing record to their To-
cal war price and rationing board,
w. E. Fitzgerald, OPA Director, re-
minded motorists today.
ct is apparent that many motor
lists have misunderstood the regula-
ton and have applied for their "B"
and &c" supplemental gasoline ra-
tons without a mileage rationing
record This record has been given
to every "A" book holder and must
be kept for any applications for fu-
ture rations," said Fitzgerald.
Boards throughout the district have
had their work complicated because
many applications are received
without the certificate. Boards have
no authority to issue supplemental
gasoline rations under these circum-
stances, and not only is the work.
load at the board increased but ap-
plicants are without gasoline for a
week or so until they re-apply for
gasoline"
Fitzgerald pointed out that those
people who had inadvertently de-
stroyed their mileage rationing rec
ord, or who had lost them, must go
to their local war price and ration
ing board and make application for
a new record before receiving addi-
tional gasoline.

On the following day (Sept. 20
Dewey favored an extension of old
age pensions and survivors insur-
ance to farmers, domestic workers,
government workers and self-em-
ployed; extension of unemployment
compensation to similar groups: and
assurance of medical service to those
who cannot afford it. He pledged
retention of collective bargaining
and other rights of the workers.
1t seems significant to us that
every representative public opinion
survey in recent years has repeated
ly affirmed the public's favor of
freedom from want by old-age pen
sions, job insurance, health insur-
ance and even aid for students.
The conservative may snort and
call it communism" but the fact
still stands that the American peo-
pleas tested by accurate polls-is
not going to the right in terms of
opposition to social benefits. Even
Dewey's declarations add weight to
this trend.
More benefits-not leSs-are on
the horizon.
The question is more as follows:
How much to the left shall we go?
Voters will furnish the answer, to
q large degree on November Z.

out the vote in upstate counties.
The two separate ballots-one for
president and vice-president, and
the second for the governor and
others including Congressmen-offer
another factor In 1914 which may
put Kelly ahead Of Dewey in the
final tally. Another complication Is
the fact that in about IS counties
the Democrats have no county tick
ct. Thus q lack Of ballot interest
may tend to keep Republicans at
home In areas which are predomi-
nately Republican. while the CLIO
Political Action Committee swells
the Democratic vote in centers
which are apt to go Democratic.
As an observer studies the 1914
scene, he can find few logical reas-
ons for believing that as a nation
we are due for sharp swing to the
right-towards so-called conserva-
tism, old-time capitalism, uncon-
trolled free enterprise = call the
right" whatever you may.

the Michigan Democrats likewise
saw the Go at the front. Here was
something daring on the Michigan
political scene-an organized CAM
paign by major labor organization
TO achieve its goals through politi-
cal action. Following the traditions
OF Samuel Gompers, the American
Federation Of Labor through its
non-partisan political committee has
largely limited its national program
to the assembly of labor records Of
members of the senate and house at
Washington and its transmission to
