Sept. 13 (AP) An official of the OPA contend ed yesterday that the gasoline al location policy of the petroleum rriministralion for war was pri marily responsible for recurring shortages of gas for farm uses. Charles F. Phillips, OPA direc tor of automotive supply Ration ing, told a senate agriculture sub committee that PAW, headed by Secretary lekes, sets gasoline quo tas on a broad regional basis without consideration of local area needs of such groups as farmers and war plant workers, lie termed it an "historical quo ta" system in which allocations are fixed at a percentage of 1941 consumption In various sections of the country. "The result is that some local ities within a region are likelvto have an oversupply of gasoline while other areas, where OPA rationing boards have determin ed there is a large local need, have. serious shortages," Phillips sniff. "There is at this time no re lationship between the PAW quo la tystem an'l our (OPA) issu ance of gasoline coupons." Phillips said he thought the farm gas problem could be solv ed by two steps, first, making the PAW quotas and OPA coil)on volume coincide, and second, allo cation of gasoline by the PAW en the basis of coupons Issued Wither lhan on the "historical quota basis. Senator Aiken (R. Vt.), acting chairman of the subcommittee, said representatives of the PAW would be called to testify later. Milk Rationing On distributor Quota nis Predicted PORTLAND, Sept. 15 (API Nationwide milk rationing on a distributor quota basis within GO days was predicted here by Charles W. Hoiman, secretary of the National Cooperative Milk Producers federal ion. Federal officials hope to avoid point rationing of milk, he said, by reducing the amounts distrlb u:ors may handle, thereby forc ing more milk Into creameries for processing. The Washington, D. C, visitor, here to comer with milk pro ducers, said lipping the price of milk from 1 to 3 cents a quart ever the country would restore normal milk production. He blam ed a growing milk shortage on conflict and inaction among gov ernment agencies. SPOKANE. Sept. 15--IAP) A court challenge "of the OPA's right to violate the very law un der which It was created" is sug gested by the state grange mas ters of Idaho, Oregon and Wash ington. Morton Tompkins of Oregon, E. T. Taylor of Idaho and Henry P. Carstensen of Washington said yesterday in a signed statement to the press they would "ask for permission to Intervene as inter ested parties in such a test on behalf of our dairy industry." "Daily production has fallen off alarmingiy because of the producer's inability to buy feed and pay the high wages requir ed." the trio said. "Dairy cows have become almost a drug on the market because of the indus try's fear of the future, as well as present difficulties. "We feel that the OPA Is in di rect violation of the price con trol act in fixing price ceilings at less than the cost of production Seymour Quant, Former Douglas Resident, Dies Seymour Clark Quant, GS, res ident of Newport, passed away there September 11 as the result of a heart attack.

(AP) Oregon's uncollected scrap metal' plies have been saved as a backlog, the state salvage com mittee was told yesterday. The mills first use scrap clos est to them, saving the distant supplies as stock piles, said Rob ert M. Beer, chief of the scrap metal unit of the war production board's salvage branch. The scrap is needed badly and piles now are being reduced, he said, adding that 15,000,000 tons of scrap must be collected within the next six months to keep war production at its current level. The household fats collection campaign is producing only 47 per cent of the waste fats which could bo made available for am munition manufacture, said Eric H. Marks, deputy chief of the general salvage branch. Even it the war should end tomorrow, the visitors pointed out, it would take two years to restore the nation's tin stockpile to normal.
