Asks All Towns To Start Block Leader System

TRENTON — The importance of every local defense council in the state setting up a functioning Block Leader plan was'stressed today by Mrs. Richard S. Bethell, deputy state civilian defense director in charge of Community War Service*. “It is important,” she said, "because it is through the neighborhood Block Leader that information on how all citizens can aid in the war effort can be relayed to every householder, and the way in which householders can relay their opinions and suggestions back to the Local Defense

Council.”

Mrs. Bethell said that in the months to come many campaigns

WASHINGTON—Hope for the easing of driving restrictions by next summer was held out this week by Prentiss M. Brown, new price control and rationing administrator, who succeeded Leon Henderson as chief of the OPA. Brown expressed belief that barge line, pipeline and. other new means of transportation might permit the relaxation of restrictions on driving by that

time.

Better fuel oil supplies for next winter and more sympathetic regulations all around would be in prospect, he said. The new OPA chief predicted price rises would be slow and well ordered, at the same time commenting, “I don’t believe we can hold prices at -a flat leveL*

Brown made no promis ing he wanted a couple « to study his task, but at ev< step he indicated hope for : taxation of restrictions and co

“The keynote of rationing m price control will not be imp sition, but protection of the pu lie. I think the President put I here for the purpose of making plain to the people why we do the things we do here.” Brown also pledged himself to the task of trying to provide additional supplies of fuel oil for home heating next -winter, explaining that the current heating season is too far advanced to make much progress in that direction this year.
