GAS RATIONING DUE TO START NOV. 22
MOST WILL DRAW
4 GALLONS WEEK
UNDER OPA PLAN
WASHINGTON, Sept. L'G — Price Administrator Leon Henlerson
announced tonight; that nation-wide gasoline rationing
probably will start about Nov. 22 with a basic ration of slightly
under four gallons a' Week.
Earlier in the day Joseph B. Eastman, director of the office of defense
transportation, called for a nationwide speed limit of 35 miles
an hour. Compliance with this, Mr. Henderson announced, will be a
basic requirement for obtaining both tire and gasoline rations.
In addition, tires on all cars must be submitted every 60 days after
rationing starts for on-wheel inspection to insure that proper care
is given them.
The 35-mile limit speed limit on all highways and streets was
decreed in an official ODT order. It did not carry enforcement or
penal provisions, but Mr. Eastman said he would request the governors
of all states to make it effective "through proclamation or
otherwise". The governors will be asked to call on state and local officials
for strict enforcement

MOSCOW, Sept. 26.—(INS)—
The mangled German siege
army storming Stalingrad has
begun showing definite signs of
exhaustion in the face of continuing
Soviet counter-advances
both inside and northwest of the
Volga city, front dispatches said
tonight.
Accordingly, these advices related,
the German troops, tanks and
planes are engaged in what may
prove to be their "tinal" frenzied
effort to overwhelm the flameeaten
bastion that has withstood
33 days of assault.
Renewed Nazi attacks, fed by
fresh reserves of heavy tanks and
infantry, apparently were faring no
better than earlier onslaughts
which have been stopped and reversed.
