While the OPA intends to get the

mindful of the delays which recently
caused some gasoline ration books for
Western areas to lie for days in air
port freight rooms because military
goods got priority on plane cargo
space.
"If a shipment of military supplies
needs a freight train that is loaded
with ration books, OPA unloads and
