Plans To Fight Gas
Black Market Made

The Petroleum Industry Comrlit-
tee on Rationing for District One
meeting in New York last week, sci
in motion an intensive program to
cooperate with the Government in
stamping out the Black Market OPP
erations which have been stealing
more than 100000 gallons of auto
motive gasoline daily.
Mr.. A. Clarke Bedford, Chairman
of the Committee for District One
comprising eventeen Atlantic Coast
States and the District of Columbia
stressed the importance of stamping
out the Black Market.
Gasoline is one of tine principal
weapons of this war;" he said. 1T
is playing a tremendously important
part in the battle of Europe and
soon will play an even more import
ant one. Naturally, military needs
com first, but misuse of our limited
home supply robs millions of honest
car oWners-doctors, war workers,
and others who must use a limited
amount of gasoline. Slowing down
the War Effort at home actually
jeopardizes the lives of our fighting
men. The Government, the public,
and every employe of the Petroleum
Industry must cooperate to stamp
out the Black Market in gasoline"
The Petroleum Industry Commit
tee on Rationing announced the ap-
pointment of a chairman for every
state in the District. The chairman
for this state is John Sherwood, of
Sherwood Bros, of Baltimore. The
State Committee will acquaint all
dealers with the facts aobut the
Black Market and organize them to
combat this menace.
A cooperative advertising cam
palgn paid for by oil companies sup
plying virtually all of the gasoline
sold on the Atlantic Coast will ap-
pear soon and VIII put the facts be-
fore the public.
