year,” he said. “This will cause a further meat shortage.” Suggesting a change in the coupon system so that coupons would be good for the duration, Representative Landis said that the chief obJection to the rationing system is the rush to spend coupons at the end of the rationing period. Cites Buying Rush “Many people have bought shoes, canned goods and other articles and stored them away for future use. he said. “If these coupons were good for the duration, we would not have people standing in line on the

last day of the rationing period to

dispose of them.” He stated that people in Indiana are demanding some men with practical experience to operate the OPA administration As to the oil situation, Representative Landis said that OPA “must take off the brakes and let the small oil men produce the necessary oil to win the war.”
