WASHINGTON. June 8 (IPh
About 35 per cent ot the na
tion's 8,553,200 B-card motorists
will qualify for more supple
mentary gasoline when the ra
tion ceiling is raised to 650

The OPA c-timatcd today

650 miles will replace those
prevailing top allotments to a
motorists:
In the east. 325 miles
month: midwest, 475 miles: far
west. 400 miles.
"The amount of increase for
eligible B-card holders will vary
with their occupational driving
needs, but in no case may their
total rations exceed the new
ceiling," said OPA Rationing
Thief Max McCulloueh.
He advised B motorists al
ready eettine what they need
such as home-to-work drivers
not to apply for increases since
their applications will have to
be rejected.
These drivers will receive,
however, the 50 per cent in
crease in A rations effective
June 22.
OPA urged B drivers seek
ing increases to mail their ap
plications to local ration Doaras,
rather than present them per
sonally.
In another section, OPA an
nounced that B-6 and C-6 sup
plementary gasoline coupons
will not be good for consumer
use after June 3U. it said tne
few remaining coupons which
expire after that date may be
exchanged at ration boards for
new stamps.

to which gyroscopes have been
put is in computers for aerial
guns on Boeing B-29 Superforts-
resses ana other aircrait.

BOSTON, June 8 (IP) Gen
George S. Patton Jr., hoping he
was on his way to "fight the
Japanese," flew from the Bed
ford airport for Los Angeles to
day taking off before most of
the million people who gave
him a hero's welcome yesterday
had left their homes for their
work.
The dynamic, gun-toting chief
of the invincible third army
stirred by the welcome of his
adopted state upon his first re
turn to tne united Mates from
the war in Europe, told news
men, "I sincerely hope I fight
the Japanese.
The general was accompanied
by Mrs. Patton. They will stop
at Denver, Colo., where they
will be accorded a reception.
'My ambition," he said in an
interview, "is to get to the Pa
cific, but it may not be fulfilled."
He declined politely to amp
lify his remark but said "a gen
eral officer can not be quoted
as to the possibilities of his as
signments."
The 59-year-old four star gen
eral talked briefly with news
men after one of the most tu
multuous receptions in the city's
history.
Patton said he hoped to get
week or 10-day leave which
he would like to SDend with his
sister in Los Angeles.
There is a little church out
there where I was baptized and
confirmed," he said. "God has
been very good to me and I'd
like to go there to give thanks
to Him."
The church is St. Gabriel's
Episcopal church.
Patton said it was hard for
him to talk about the third
army because when I started
out on the third army I got incoherent."
Patton also praised the "mag
nificent reception" given him
by the people of Massachusetts.
The brilliant third armv aen-
eral was welcomed by shouting
throngs estimated at more than
a million people by Police Com
missioner Thomas F, Sullivan,
