.0PA Exposes Racket
In Gasoline Coupons
After Cutting Ration

Following an order reducing the
IA gasoline ration throughout the
country to the two gallons weekly
now allowed on the East Coast, the
Office of Price Administration ex-
posed a large-scale racket in bogus
gas coupons rivaling liquor boot
Logging of prohibition days.
More than 245 professional crimi-
mails" were arrested the first two
months of this year in connection
with the gas coupon racket, OPA re-
vealed yesterday, and 101 others we're
rounded up the first II days of
March.
Shad Polier, director of the OPA's
gasoline ration enforcement office,
warned that if the sale of counter
felt coupons is not drastically curbed
ration currency will depreciate and
the whole wartime economic struc-
ture will be undermined.
Extra Fuel for Gardeners.
Meanwhile, the OPA announced
that Victory gardeners this spring
will receive extra gas ration coupons
to travel to their plots, but that the
allowance probably will be smaller
than it was last year. The amount
of extra fuel to be allowed is now
being discussed between OPA and
the War Food Administration. Gar
deners in 1943 were granted suffi-
cient fuel for 300 miles of driving
within six-month period.
The OPA yesterday announced
the "A" gas ration of two gallons
week for the entire country, effec-
tive March o. Critical demands
presumably military-plus a leakage
of 2,500,000 gallons daily through the
black market, were given as reasons
for the cut, which means a reduc-
tion OF one-third in basic family car
rations in the West and Midwest.
Murders Laid to Counterfeiters.
Mr.. Polier described the counter
feiters as "hard-boiled babies" and
said their operations already have
resulted in gangland murders.
Gangsters are finding the racket
luCl dtlSC, Ml. EUlieI SdlO, DeCduSS Oh
the high prices consumers and
gasoline dealers are willing to pay.
A packet the size of a large book
sells for $4,000, he pointed out.
Counterfeit coupons-the majority
of them C-2s-are flooding metro
politan as we'll as rural areas, and
in one State they have forced the
closing of so per cent of all filling
stations, Mr.. Polier said
He estimated that from 25 to 80
per cent of all C coupons circulating
in the OPA region No. 2, which in
clude Washington, were counterfeits.
In the Richmond area the per CEN
tage runs as high so; in the Roanoke
region, 40 per cent, and in Balti-
more. As per cent.
The OPA is training a number of
Investigators who will work with
Secret Service agents and other en-
forcement groups in tracking down
CounterfeiterS.

College Military Training

BS the Assoc -ated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Very
Rev. j. Hugh O'Donnell, president
of the University of Notre Dame,
proposed yesterday "a more inten-
sive use of universities, colleges and
high schools as training ground
for the Army and Navy" and de-
clared, Il fully subscribe to the pre-
vailing belief that we must be a mil
itary, but not a militaristic nation
Warning against creation of "a
military CASTE" Father ODonnell
told a breakfast group following
the sixth annual communion mass
Of the Notre Dame Club of New
York that "if we are going to pre-
pare for another war, which God
forbid" the only course was to ap-
ply principles of the Selective Serv-
ice Act.
However, he said, continuation of
the present draft policy without
serious consideration to the future
leadership of the country" would
leave the Nation ".bereft of men
capable of leadership in all branches
of human .endeavor"
THE tragedy of our times" "
Father O'Donnell added, "is that
under the changing labels of ma
terialism, rationalism, agnosticism,
modernism and naturalism, purely
secular education destroyed the har-
mony of the world, cast God out of
the life of man and gradually de-
humaniZed man himself"

This change would come into our

devote three summer months to
training after completing high
school. move on to college where
they could take four years of ROTC
training and on graduation take
three months more of intensive
field training and be commissioned
