In a further step to plug I'm
the gasoline black market and
as a result of successful trials
in Florida and Georgia. the
Regional 0PA Office annOun-
ces that five-gallon RI" cOu-
p0nS, issued to farmers and
other nOn-highway users will
no longer be good for gasoline
purchases at filling stations in
massachusetts, after April l.
Only non-highway users who
buy their gasoline at bulk
plants or who have it delivered
into storage tanks on their
own premises will use "R" cou-
pons after that date. This new
plan is expected to seal off one
large source from which gaso-
line ration coupons have been
drained into the black market.
There will be no change in
the customary buying habits Of
non-hghway users. Those who
have been accustomed to buy
Ing their gasoline at filling sta
tons will continue to do 50.
They will simply use the one
gallon ."E" coupons instead of
"R" coupons.
Farmers who do buy most of
their gasoline at filling stations
have until April l to bring "R"
coupons in to their local War
Price and Rationing Boards to
be exchanged for "E" S. The
ration board if it finds need
for "E" coupons is genuine,
will make the change for all or
any part of the ration.
The rule governing the "E"
coupons remains unchanged.
These coupons may be accepted
at filling stations so long as
they are not exchanged for
gasoline delivered into the tank
of a motor car.

Toxic Radio Admits
Shipping Difficulties
Forced to Use Borges
On South Pacific lones
By the Associated Press,


NEW YORK, Mar. THE Toxic
radio acknowledged today that
American task forces have virtually
closed the South Pacific sea lanes
to large-scale Japanese ship move
ments and said the task of supply
ing outlying bases in that area has
now devolved on a fleet of wooden
ships, Sinking from island to island
by night.
"Dengue fever and Boeing planes"
declared a Domei broadcast re-
corded by United States Govern
ment monitors, are the worst enc
mics of this wooden fleet.
Huge enemy task forces" Domei
said, ply in between our supply
bases and the front lines. The
enemy has made passage of larger
transports infinitely difficult, so the
heavy responsibility of safe trans
portation of food and supplies has
fallen upon the crews of these
wooden ships. The ocean, upon
which rains a torrent of bombs and
shells, is the stage upon which these
vessels perform"
The broadcast added that the
wooden craft conceal themselves
by day in the shadows of the islands
and carry out their duties by night"

Ninitz Declares Pacific Fleet
Anxious for Jap Showdown
Admiral, Here for
PorIey, Says Foe
Fears AII-Out Fight
BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY.

A relentless American subma-
rine campaign against japanese
tankers is breaking down enemy
supply lines and the failure of
the recent task force that at
tackled Truk to find any heavy
units there may be explained by
Tokio's decision to withdraw
them because they could not be
fueled there, Admiral Chester w.
Nimitz said today.
The commander of the Pacific
fleet also told a press conference
that the American forces, continu-
ing their victorious advance In the
Marshall Islands, have occupied
Majuro Atoll.
Admiral Nimitz, here to confer
with Secretary of the Navy Knox
and other high officials, made these
salient points:
l. The American Navy is eager to
meet the Japanese sea forces in a
grand fleet action, but the Japs con-
tinue wary Of risking their heavy
ships.
2. American submarines in the Pa
cific are increasing in number and
maintaining their efficiency despite
q decrease in targets.
3. This country now opposes Ja-
pan with an excellent team of air,
sea and land strength.
4. Acquisition Of land bases in
China is essential to an "all out"
bombing campaign against the
enemy.
