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.

Just a minute folks
A wirdl before
oEne Imh
This isn't exactly our Ides of being Hospitable.
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.
