InCarRation
WASHINGTON, June 3HV
A deep new cut in the ration al
lowance of new passenger ' cars
was ordered tonight, following
announcement of the complete re
moval of Inner tubes from ration
ing and . a alight increase - in the
number of tires for motorists.
The office of price administra-
tioat said - it would release only
7000 new automobiles in July
from the nation's dwindling sup
ply of motor cars. The number is
.22 per cent under the June quota
and 30 per cent under May.
Only 30,000 new cars remain
to meet all needs until the gov
ernment can permit the resump
tion of automobile production,
OPA said. This is a three-day
supply in normal ' times. About
530,000 cars-were in stock when
manufacture stopped. 1 ' I
In a more welcome action, OPA
ordered that motorists, effective
tomorrow, may go ,' directly to
dealers when tubes are needed,
without applying to local ration
boards.

WASHINGTON, June 30-(ff)
CoL J. Monroe Johnson, airecw
of the office of defense transpor
tation, tonight warned the public
that "there is no room toaay on
the country's trains or inter-city
bus lines lor holiday travelers
Estimating that more than 20
per cent of tne .present day rail
road travel i was non-essential,
CoL Johnson urged In a broadcast
(NBC tiwt flonly those on essen
tial business have tne ngnt to
travel in these crucial days."
"If you fail Jo heed our re
quest, I must! warn you that your
non-essential j pleasure trip may
turn out to be rather unpleasant,",
the ODT chief said. -
"You niay be left stranded and
unable to return when you wish.
You will very likdj be compelled
to stand for i hours - in crowded
cars, be unable to find eating fa
cilities, or you may even be evict
ed from the nxee assigned and

quired for 'casualties. , .
The situation' is serious, very
serious, in. coaches, Pullman cars
and inter-city buses' i 4 j
Coll Johnson said that rationing
of travel would not be necessary
if the public continued, to coope
rate in ODTs travel conservation
program. The response from or
ganizations and large companies
to ODTs request for the cancella

far, he said.
