Applicants will first show at the registration sites copies of book No. 3 already issued to them or to members of their families and will receive an application form with space enough to list eight members of a family. If there are ngore than eight mem bers, it will be necessary to use two forms. 2. A volunteer worker in regis tration headquarters will accept the application and will check the various copies of Book No. 3 pre sented as evidence and will then fill out corresponding names on the new books. 3. The application and the new books, containing the names of various member* of the family will be passed to an accountability clerk who will record the serial numbers of the new books and the names of the persons to whom thev are issued and hand the books to the applicant. This assures a | permanent record of the names and serial numbers in the J**cal rationing boards. 4. Book No. 4 will be distribut- ( ed to all persons except armed forces' personnel eating in organiz ed messes or who are members of an officers’ mess; persons con fined to institutions; and persons residing 60 days or less in the United States. The new war ration book is ex pected to last at least two years. It is the same size as Books 3 and 2. It contains eight pages with a total of 384 stamps, each about half the size of the familiar red and blue stamps used in Book No. 2 and the brown stamps in Book No. 3. Colors of the stamps in Book No. 4 are blue, red and green. In addition, there are 96 unit stamps printed in black. Seventy two of them are marked “Spare” and can be used in case addition al ration stamps are needed for any future program. Twelve of the black stamps are printed “Sugar” and 12 are print ed “Coffee,” but OPA explained that the plates for these pages were printed before coffee was taken off the list of rationed foods. It does not mdan, OPA said, that coffee is likely -to be rationed again. -V GIRAUD MISSES DEATH ALGIERS, Oct. 11. — (/P) — Gen.

I'"1 OPA Slashes Gasoline Allotment To Far West WASHINGTON, Oct. 11—(#)— I The Office of Price Administration today cut the value of A, B and C gasoline coupons in the far west from four to three gallons, effec tive at 12:01 a.m., Tuesday, Oc tober 12. The curtailment order is effec tive in the states of Washington, Oregon, Calfornia, Nevada. Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colora do and Arizona. The OPA action followed imme diately after Harold L. Ickes. pe troleum administrator for war, rhad announced establishment of the first gasline quotas for the area. Ickes and the OPA said the irder was necessary because of :remendously increased military demands. “The inevitability of curtailment at civilian gasoline consumption in ;he far Western states has been ibvious to us for several months as we have learned more and more about the future military re quirements,” Ickes said. "It is low unmistakably clear that to allow civilian consumption to con inue at the present rate would 'orce gasoline inventories down to a point where it would be increas r.gly difficult and then impossible o operate.” Tc ps directed that no more than [69,000 barrels of gasoline a day .an be made available for civilian ;onsumption in the newly restrict ad area. In explanation, Ickes said that n 1942 military requirements rep -esented 23 per cent of the total 'ar Western gasoline consumption. \sof today, the military demands rave increased to 43 per cent, md estimates for next year place military consumption at 52 per cent of all gasoline available there. The total certification of 169,000 barrels daily includes supplies available for all uses besides high way transportation. “A reduction in civilian gasoline consumption to a point comparable with restrictions in effect through out the rest of the country is the only possible answer,” said Ralph K. Davies, deputy administrator. ‘‘Now as the United Nations be gin to take the offensive on new world battlefronts it is necessary to deliver ever-increasing quanti ties of fuel for planes, tanks and other war vehicles.” the OPA re ported, ‘‘to meet these increased needs, civilians in the far West as well as the rest of the country aTe having to reduce their driving still further.’ -V Army Engineers Let More War Contracts The Wilmington District Engi neer office announced Monday the award of two contracts for war time construction, as follows: P.
