PIPELINES TOOK
DRIVERS IN JUNE
FUEL TO ALLIES
SECRET CHANNEL
Washington, May 24. (U.R)
That extra gasoline motorists
were promised after V-E day
will come to them in June. But
it won't be enough to do much
extra joyriding.
"A" gasoline rations will be
increased only about a gallon a
week. "B" rations will be in
creased, but only if card holders
can demonstrate increased need
to their local ration boards.
Announcement ot the Increase
was made Jointly by Petroleum
Administrator Harold L. Ickes
and the office of price adminis
. tratlon. Ickes said he took "great
satisfaction" in giving civilians
more gasoline for the first time
since rationing began in July,
1941.
Throughout the United States,
"A" rations will be increased 50
per cent on June 22 when A-16
coupons become valid. This
means the values of each of the
, new coupons will go up from
four to six gallons. Six coupons
are validated at a time, all good
for three months.
"B" rations will be increased
a little earlier on June 11 by
varying degrees throughout the
country, bringing them every
where up to a new countrywide
ceiling allotment of 650 miles a
month. Rations in the east will
go up 100 per cent from 325 to
650 miles a month; in the mid
west they will increase from 475
to 650 miles a month; and in the
far west they'll go up from 400
to 650 miles a month.

London. May 23 (U.F9 A
series of 20 pipelines under the
English channel carried more
than 1,000,000 gallons of fuel
oil a day to the allied armies in
Europe after D-Day.
The pipeline terminals at
Cherbourg and Boulogne were
connected with Britain's thoa
sand mile line and enabled a con'
tinuous flow of fuel into Europe
from tankers discharging it at
British ports.
Censorship permitted the an-
nouncement of the project yes
terday.
Giant drums, each of them 80
feet long and more than 50 feet
in diameter, floated the three
Inch cable from the pipeline
across the channel.
At the two ports in France,
pumping facilities kept the fuel
flowing up to the front as the
allied armies advanced.
The vast engineering opera
tion was called "Pluto mean
tag "pipeline under the ocean.'
