Increase in Civilians
Gas Ration Predicted
By the Associated Press,

~ eAS HoSoSldIS0 EtSoS,
Reduced military demands after
the end of the war in Europe should
permit somewhat more gasoline" for
civilian use, the Petroleum Industry
War Council said today, quoting its
Committee on Petroleum Economics.
Reporting to its parent organiza-
ton, the committee said:
1T is not unlikely that the end
OF the European phase of the war
will occur during the term of this
report Covering the period from
September l, 1914, through March
81, 1945). In that event small bal
ances shown as yet to be supplied
will have been only paper deficien-
cies. and the situation with respect
to inventories generally will have
improved comparably.
Although actual figures on mill
tary requirements after the close
Of the war in Europe are not now
available, the committee is of the
opinion that a substantial reduc-
tion in military takings of gasoline
will result and that somewhat more
gasoline may be available to ease
present restrictions.
The PIWC was created by the
Petroleum Administrator for War
to act in an advisory capacity.
The Office of War Information in
report last week said that when
more civilian gasoline becomes
available, rations for trucks and
buses will be the first to be in
creased, following by those for B"
card holders who use their cars in
the course of business.
