FARM GASOLINE CUT Farmers may have a little trouble in getting “tractor” gasoline from | now on. | Farm gasoline has been the .sub-‘ ject of intensive conferences be- | tween officials of OPA and AAA because of evidence that some far- | mers have been getting excessive | quantities of gasoline by evadiug OPA regulations. One farm ruse | has been to apply for gasoline to | operate abandoned machinery. Since ration boards are unable to | check on every piece of farm ma- | chinery, a farmer can apply for: gasoline for a motor vehicle aban- doned in a dark corner of his barn.! Also, unless ration hoards check | carefully, a farmer can overstate his acreage under cultivation as compared witn his total acreage. Following conferences in Wash- ington, however, a campaign has been undertaken to correct these| abuses. OPA officials say they ex-| pect “a tremendous saving in gaso- | line to be effected.” ; AAA officials are now double-I checking farmers’ applications and investigating their claims regarding machinery and acreage. | { o Bl | BOMBING GERMANY i The most sensational events of | the war are now taking place in| the air over Europe. | 1.
