“IN GAS RATIONING

By DANIEL

‘Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Nov.

gasoline rationing wiil require the full or part-time services ‘of from 200,000 to 250,000 persons and thus add to the manpower problem, Senator Raymond E. Willis (R. Ind.) argued

today in urging that a 90-day

o-mile-per-hour tire saving program be substituted. Latest date for the national compulsory gas rationing

000 Would Have to Work on

M. KIDNEY

13—Nation-wide compulsory

trial of the voluntary use and

has been set by OPA for Dec. 1. Senator Willis wrote a letter to Rubber Administrator

William M. Jeffers asking him to’ seek the postponement. The action was taken after both Indiana senators and congressmen received hun“dreds of letters advocating “the postponement plan. * The protest was organized by the Midwest Rubber Conservation com- _ mittee of Indianapolis of which

‘Todd Stoops, head of the Hoosier Motor club, is chairman.

; Cites Wide Protgsis

) Citing the various trades and ’ professions represented by the writers of these protests, Senator Willis said: “I must Insist that I am compelled to regard as deeply persuasive the following cross-section of assertions gleaned from the arguments forwarded

Mr. Kidney

"fo me by the people of the Middle

West:

| “1. That a 90-day postponement

of compulsory gasoline rationing is sufficient time, under the 35-mile-an-hour speed limitation, to estab-

~ lish whether the past two months’

0 per cent reduction in driving

ean be maintained or bettered, and

is not so long a time as to embrace

irreparable loss if voluntary rationing proves inadequate. . “9 The full-time, or even partime, employment of 250,000 persons to administer and supervise compulsory gasoline rationing is, in ~ the minds of the people, an obviously questionable practice at a time when critical manpower shortages are avowed.

: ‘Dictatorship’ Mentioned "3. I find alarming unanimity in

* publi¢ interpretation of government

motive in sponsorship of compulsory rationing. These communications make frequent and unfavorable use of such phrases as ‘dictatorship’ and ‘further desire for more political control.” 3 “4 Most frequent ‘users, and needers, of gasoline will be de.prived of amounts made available fo less frequent users, thus deter-

~ ‘ring the latter from self-rationing

and rendering powerless those who could and would, in their own in-

terest and in that of society, ration

their own tires in accord with their

‘needs and in accord with their

~~ prospects for tire replacements.

“5. It is convincingly argued that

: . compulsory rationing will reduce by

"thousands of man-hours dependable § transportation to scenes of vital

employment, and act as a deterrent upon widely-recommended employ-

ment shifts from comparatively un-

important to important jobs.

2“. With compulsory rationing

| he will certainly come further—and, to / | date, the most dangerous—threat to

the continued existence of mechanical and technical industrial maintenance, and to the maintenance of! home facilities and necessities. | ‘7. Compulsory gasoline rationing will gravely threaten the very life of smaller private enterprise in the nation. Removal of the remnants of assurance that private motive is not in vain points logically to a system of forced employment and slave labor. “8. Despite the degree of flexibility retained by the -currentlyproposed system of compulsory gasoline rationing, there is widespread alarm at the potential medical and health emergencies which may not prove capable of being set.

Ludlow Made Earlier Plea

“Each of the foregoing assertions has reached me directly from the people of Indiana. I have made no supplements. They are herewith transferred to you in abbreviated form for your information. I shall greatly appreciate any and all responsible consideration which you are able to afford them.”

A somewhat similar plea for postponement was made earlier this week by Rep., Louis Ludlow (D. Ind.) in a letter to OPA administrator Leon Henderson. ! Rep. George W. Gillie (R. Ind.) reported that Hposiers are carefully observing the 35-mph speed limit, but that so far officials" gave him this answer in requesting the continued postponement plan: “The president, this summer, appointed Mr. Bernard Baruch as chief of a committee to study the situation, and according to their interpretation of Mr. Baruch’s report the latter insists upon an immediate nation-wide rationing of gasoline as the only way to conserve rubber. “Therefore the officials claim they will begin such rationing on Dec. 1.”

ASKS U. S. INSURANCE FOR WAR REPORTERS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 (U. P.).— The senate military affairs committee today prepared to study a bill introduced by Chairman Robert R. Reynolds (D. N. C.) which would make American war correspondents eligible for national service insurance. Pointing out that war correspondents often undergo dangers as great as those undergone by members of the armed forces, he said they therefore should be given the privilege of paying small premiums for the service insurance, which heretofore has been granted only .to soldiers, sailors, marines and coastguardsmen.
