Gasoline Rationing
Suspended BY Bowles
CONTINUED from FIRST rage)

The announcement that gasoline"
rationng has been lifted was not
unexpected for il was known that
storage capacity along the east
coast was ovcrtaXcd and inmcdI-
ate action had to be taken TO re-
licyc the piling up OF oil products.
Vegetable and canned fruits
have been in sufficient supply and
it was not surprising that their
rationins was eliminated. Nothing
was said in the announcement about
meats and fats. but it is believed
that rationing must be continued
for some time on these items Tires
and shoes will probably be the next
items released from rationing re-
strictiOns but as yet no action
along this line has been announced.
