WASHINGTON, May 2S (JP) More bundle-toting for the east was decreed today in an order sharply curtailing delivery serv ices and in the case of -many luxury items prohibiting them entirely. The order was coupled with a warning that the already critical gasoline shortage along the Atlantic ' seaboard would grow worse. '.-.-. The order, effective at 1J:0X a. m. (EWT) Thursday, -was Is sued by the office of defense transportation last night for .13 northeastern states and the Dis trict of Columbia. Wholesale Limits . Limitations were placed on both wholesale and retail deliv eries. The ODT listed the maxi mum number of deliveries which may be made In one week be tween two given points for cer tain commodlyes. Transporta tion companies were instructed to rearrange their routes to cut out duplication. All Sunday de liveries except ice, fresh milk and cream, were forbidden. The order came on top of a 40 per cent cut in mileage ration ing for bus, truck and taxi travel. Virtually eniDty streets resulted in many' eastern cities as gasoline stations - put up 'empty" signs and the office of price administration renewed policing of motorists, in search of pleasure drivers. More Serious The ODT said the situation would become more "serious" in the next 60 days as "the full ef fect of the widespread disrup tion of the west-east petroleum movement, caused by the mid west floods" is felt Additional transportation re strictions then may be necessary, the agency said. It was under stood that as originally drawn the deliver' order was a great deal mors stringent than the version announced and that the deleted restrictions wlll.be 're vived If the crisis becomes mora acute. . Breach Closed A more optimistic view came, however, from W. Alton Jones, president . of War Emergency Pipelines, Inc., who disclosed In New York that a breach in tho big line caused last week by flood waters of ' the Arkansas river had been, closet) and the eastward-flow, of petroleum re newed. ; . - Prohibited after tomorrow are retail deliveries of alcoholic bev erages, wines . and beer, soft drinks, tobacco and candy, ice cream, magazines, flowers ex cept for funerals, toys, novelties. jewelry, - furs, radios, phono graphs, and antiques.

But we think it only fair to warn you that train travel , is different in wartime. . . . . . , Nowadays i our trains are generally crowded, often late. Some cars aren't' bright and shiny like they used - lo be. You may have to wait quite a while to get into the dining car on some trains. Most people now riding S. P. trains are patient and under. . standing about these travel, difficulties.. We're grateful for this cooperation and for our part we're trying not to use the war as an alibi. But, frankly, here's our situation ... S. P. operates a most strstegio sector of the transcontinental , railway' system.; Our traffic load is now the heaviest in his . tory. We serve the principal ports of embarkation on the West Coast, also more military and naval establishments than any other railroad. ... ' . During this war period, oar chief responsibility is to keep : . the war trains rolling. Everything elte mutt be iccondaryl Crowding can't be helped Many of our cars usually available for civilian travel must be diverted constantly for military use. We're short of cars, and we can't buy new ones now. We're also short of locomo . lives. Consequently we can't run additional trains. - Ever since the war began we've been making op thousands1 ' of special trains for troop and war freight movements. We've bad to take popular passenger trains off regular runs to clear . our tracks, and to use the equipment thus released for' troops - or to fill out remaining trains to absolute capacity. i i You can't count on perfect timing The more trains we crowd onto-S stretch of track the mors ; difficult it is to maintain fast, regular schedules, A railroad . like a highway, has its space limitations. . Many of the troop trains and -war freights movs' over out , lines on emergency schedules to which regular serrios must ..be adapted, sometimes on sKorl notice. So if your (rain .arrives late or fails to leave exactly on time we hope you'll understand: We're pushing the tear Iraint throughly Our dining cor dilemma . Before the. war. we nsed to add extra diners on crowded trains. Now we haven't got the extra diners (many are in military use, and we can't buy new ones) . With several hun , dred passengers on a train and only one 36-seat dining car, . it takes a long time to serve everyone. Compared with pre war 1940, we're now serving nearly three times as many - dining car meals (a million more than any other railroad ! ) ' with no additional dining ears. We have rationing on the railroad much as you hsve It at home only our situstion is more scute because of tho in creasing number of passengers. And because of the food ' shortages we can't always get supplies permitted by our , ration coupons. ' '. ' . ' In bur dining ears on regular trains men of the armed , forces traveling in groups are served first, ahead of civilians. ' When your-tum comes in the diner, please remember other people are probably waiting for your seat. Less time for our "housekeeping" chores S. P. ears arson therails almost constantly these days, what with lengthened schedules and shorter pauses in terminals . between runs. This fallows less time for thorough cleaning. If the car you ride in is hot quite spic-snd-span we hope you'll recognise it's not because we don't know better. . In our, efforts to remedy one problem we sometimes create others, for example, we provide box lunches to relieve din ing car crowding ancj then we find the boxes, paper and napkins littering up our cars (particularly in coaches). Any aid you can give us in disposal of such litter will be much appreciated. We are hiring new help every day (over 11,000 S. P. "regulars" have gone to war, you know) but we're still short-handed and many employees are inexperienced. WARTIME TRAVELER'S GUIDE After the war is won, S. P. hopes to make up to you for today's uncomfortable train travel. Meantime, here are some suggestions to help you make the best of things as they are: 1. Unless your train trip Is really cMontlnl please don't mnke it. 2. If you must travel, do so on Tuesdays or Wed nesdays or Thursdays. Avoid week-ends that's when our trains are most crowded. 3. Cancel apace reservations promptly if your plans change. Train space is too precious nowadays to go unused. 4. Travel light take with you on the train only baggage you'll need oq the train. Check other baggage at least a day in advance. 5. Help stretch available train accommodations by buying just the space you really need no more, no less. Share your bedroom, com partment or drawing room. ' A . ' 6. Eat before you board the train if possible. For many trains it may be wall to bring your lunch or buy a box lunch (for lunch or any meal). 7. If you cat in the dining car, please remember other folks are waiting. No need to bolt your meal biit please don't linger over it. T7T The friendly Southern Pacific f) 9)
