A-Hour Gas Buying
Holiday Is Urged

Quit buying gasoline for "a hours
and Washington's apparent gasoline
shortage will be over.
That was the advice today of
Harry Wainwright, executive direc-
tor Of the Retail Gasoline Dealers
Association. He reported that mo-
torists were trailing gasoline trucks
to service stations.
The District Office of Price Ad-
ministration said, meanwhile, that
reports indicated supplies continued
to reach the city in normal quan-
titles but were Offset by abnormal
buying.
An official said the agency had
received no reports of rush of A.
book holders to use their Alb
coupons which expired last night or
OF a rush to stations this morning
as A-14s became valid.
The OPA was hopeful that the
two-day Christmas holiday would
give the industry time to catch up
and return the situation to normal
next week.

Change in Regulations
On Gasoline Seen
To Aid Veterans

Revision of gasoline regulations
to help returning veterans make
their change to normal civilian
work. was foreseen today by officials
of Montgomery County Selective
Service Board, No. 2, in Silver
Spring.
William F. Carlin, president of
the Service Aid Council In Silver
Spring, said he has received a letter
from Norman E. Cooper, rationing
attorney for the Maryland District
ONCE of the OPA stating: 1--WE an
ticipate some changes in the near
future in gasoline regulations which
would allow veterans to obtain gaso-
line for the purpose of securing po-
sitions and for assisting them In
earning their livelihoods."
Mr.. Cooper's letter was in reply
to one from the Service Aid Council
inquiring whether or not the gaso-
line regulations would be relaxed
for returning veterans. The council
pointed out that veterans are often
handicapped in trying to get en-
ployment or re-establishing their
businesses because OF present re-
strictions.
Mr.. Cooper said that up to this
time there has been no revision
of the regulations, but added that
such changes are anticipated soon.
The council, which is one of the
first of its kind to be organized in
the country, is now busify engaged
in interviewing discharged war vet
Grams in an effort to aid them in
securing the advantages offered by
the CT bill. Only about so of the
400 discharged veterans who have
returned to this area have sought
the aid Of the council and officials
are anxious that more men take
advantage of this service.
The problems being handled in
clude unemployment, hospitaIza-
tion, rehabilitation, continuance of
education, loans for the purchase
Of homes and farms, business loans
and other personal matters.

ed help in finding their destination.
I'VE can get some help at the

D. c. Heods Reveal
Recent Reductions
In Relief Gronts

Revealing that a 10 per cent re-
duction in relief allotments had
been ordered week ago by the
Public Welfare Board, the Commis-
sioners announced yesterday they
had decided against requesting q
supplemental appropriations because
Of insufficient" evidence to support
such a move.
II no cut In relief payments had
been ordered, the board would have
been faced with a. deficit of between
$4,000 and 100000 by the end Of
June in meeting relief costs.
Although reporters last week end
had requested information on the
deficit, the cut In relief
was not disclosed until yesterdays
statement by the Commissioners,
The statement was prepared by
Budget Officer Walter L. Fowler and
Ray L. Huff, public welfare director.
An Explanation.
The statement argued that the
average payments for relief this
year will exceed the average pay
ments Of last year notwithstanding
10 per cent reduction ordered by
the board" It also was disclosed
that on Friday the board had "ex-
pressed the desire for a supple
mental appropriation"
One explanation for the impend-
ing deficit was that "the number of
cases was estimated in appropria-
ton to continue a downward trend.
but that this trend Is now inter-
rupted and the number is now tndi-
Gated to be higher than the number
for which money was appropriated
at the rate Of the average grants"
Specifically, appropriations were
made for 4,o35 relief cases, whereas
current estimates place the cases at
4,245 for fiscal 1945. The cut will
mean that general relief payments
will go down from a monthly aver
age Of $37 to $3492; aid to the blind
from $37 to $35.12, and old-age
monthly payments will go down
from $3.50 to s3o.S7.

copal Church, on which formal set
tlement has not been made, but

A condemnation jury will be i'm
paneled in District Court January 2

dispute. The Government already
had deposited in court a large sum

obtaining prices somewhat in ad-
vance of the original estimates filed
in court in the so-called "declara-
ton Of taking"
Tentative Plans Drawn.
Tentative plans for the new hos
pital have been drawn by Faulkner

OF the Public Buildings Administra-
ton, which is handling the Job for

Tenant Loses in Ruling,
In a separate case involving q
tenant occupying 933 Twenty-third
street NV, Justice Adkins ruled
that the tenant, Carrell E. Batson.
who is to be evicted, was not en-
titled to compensation from the
American Security & Trust Co..
trustee for the estate of S. Morris
Thorne, owner of the property.
Mr.. .Batson had claimed that
under the Emergency Rent Control
Act he should be allowed to remain
until December 81, 1s45, and that if
the owner of the property sold it,
and obtained funds from the Gov
ernment therefore, he was entitled
to compensation. District Court has
fixed January 2 as the date when
all occupants Of the square must
vacate.
