chief, said today that the fight
against the black market in
gasoline which the oil industry
and OPA have been Waging is
being handicapped by motorists
who insist on handing loose cou-
ponS to gas dealers.
He warned gasoline dealers to
watch out for spurious A-10 cou-
ponS which, he said, have been
brought to Massachusetts, by a
New York counterfeit gang and
warned them to watch out for
out of New England cars and
coupons.
The counterfeit A-10 coupons
are printed on white paper in
stead of the standard gray-blue
paper of government issue. The
background design of lines and
eagles is imperfect in many de-
tails and poorly drawn. The
type is standard and poorly
linked.
Moynihan said that the coun-
terfeit A-10 coupons were copied
from the New York region cou-
pons. The words mileage ration"
are followed by the letter OBJ
denoting New York, whereas the
New England region is desig-
mated by the letter "a.
Massachusetts, gasoline dealers
are pledged not to accept loose
coupons, Moynihan said Many
dealers report to us that un-
thinking motorists are asking
them to violate the law" he said
''They point out that better CO.
operation on the part of t h e
public is needed to help them in
their fight against the black
market"
The regional enforcement chief
said the A-10 counterfeit cou-
pons were rushed to Massachu-
sets in an attempt to black
market racketeers to sell them
to vacationers. They are known
as vacation gas stamps"

THESE DAYS

TH E strangest controversy
Il over the nature and char
acter of the Political Action
Committee has broken out be-
tween two Jesuit priests, both
devoted to labor problems, both
expert in the field, both sincere
in their purposes. FIR. Benja-
min l.. MaSSe, S. j., is one of
the editors of the Jesuit weekly
America; FIR. William J.
Smith, S. j., is in charge of the
Crown Heights School of Cath
Ollie Workmen in Brooklyn.
FIR. MaSse is close to the lead
ers of the CLIO; FIR. Smith de-
votes himself to the rank and
file of labor.
FIR. Masse, who is what might
be called an apologist for the
CIO-Political Action Commit
tee, maintains in an article in
America:
with respect to the Political
Action Committee, il is clearer
now than it was in April that
the Communists are not run
ming the show :" And his
ground for such a statement is
that the Political Action Com
mittee adopted a program %.
which, except for one or two
recommendations, could be
intellectually accepted by any
one who believes In the papal
social program. No Communist
can sincerely follow that pro-
gram and continue to be
Marxist. No Marxist could
possibly have written IL :"
THE summation of FIR. Masses
Il view is this:
AS for the Go itself, I still
affirm that IL Is not dominated
by the Communist. The Com
munists neither control the ma
tional office nor make national
policy. This does not mean that
their influence is negligible and
can be disregarded. They are
a menace 10 the CIO and to all
organized labor :"
FIR. Smith issues a reply to
all this entitled, The time
has come for a showdown" and
il is a Knockout. He makes the
point that whatever Political
Action Committee organiZa-
ton or program:
What actually took place,
designedly or otherwise, was
the launching OF very conven-
lent covcrall for Communist
political activity under the
masthead Of CIO-Political Ac-
ton Committee and N. &.
There was not the slightest
protest on this point from the
allegedly anti Communist men,
bers of CIO. Never a word of
reputation Of glaring incidents.
Today we have three instead OF
one pro- Communist member In
