There is further danger that once the bill goes before the senate an amendment will be offered proposing repeal of the silver purchase act. "I am convinced, said Senator Thomas, that eastern interests are determined if they can, to force the Green bill before the senate. They have already given abundant evidence of their willingness and readiness to spend money to further their campaign, they seem to be fearful that if something of the sort is not done the war production board may clamp down, and either compel them to convert their plants to war production or close them completely, as was done with the gold mines. If, through the Green bill, sil- versmiths can win congressional approval of their industry, even though it is not engaged in war production, they will be happy. For enactment of this bill would lay the foundation for using the United States treasury as the source of silver for use in industry, something the silver manufacturers have been working to accomplish for a long time. It is my studied judgment that senators from the silver producing states are facing a hard, bitter fight that will call for all we have in us to ward off enactment of this legislation. Motorists will flock to school-housthroughout the nation, Nov. 19, 20 and 21 to register for gasoline rations under the general mileage rationing plan, which will be put into effect Nov. 22. Object of the plan is to conserve rubber, keep civilian cars rollling and provide more tires for those who need them, Clem W. Collins, regional OPA administrator, explained. Glasnline rationing will be instituted in order to reduce car e a year mileage to the recommended by the overage Baruch committee. With some few exerptmns owners of registered passenger automobiles will be entitled to a basic ration that provides for 2,880 miles a year. Cars used for purposes regarded as essential to the war effort may qualify for more than 5,000 miles a year upon proof of need. These uses include transportation of war workers to and from plants, carrying calls and doctors on professional - to markrt. farm producttaking Most motorists will receive the basic A ration book when they register. They may ask for supplemental rations if they show occupational lut'd end meet the cor 5,000-mil- sharing requirements of the plan. The A" book provides gasoline for a total ot 240 miles a month. Of this mileage, 90 miles may be reserved for essential family driving, such as taking the children to school or getting a sick person to the hospital. The remaining 150 miles is deemed to be available for occupational use. If 150 miles per month proves insufficient for occupational driving, the OPA suggests the motorist makes plans to share his car with three or more persons and apply for supplement rations. mileage-r- ationing LOCAL RATIONING BOARD ON RUBBER SHOES e nl . forces. Application for rationing certificates authorizing purchase of men's rubber boots and rubber work shoes may be handled entirely by mail, II. J.
