Asks Motorists To Pot Nation Before Selves The East's crave petroleum shortage, not the technicalities of a definition, should guide motorists in deciding when to use their cars during the present emergency, Dr. L. C. Ashbum, chairman of the Cape May War Price and Batkming Board, declared today. Commenting on the many queries that have come to his office since the ban on non-essential driving went into effect early in January, Dr. Ashbum said the best rule in questionable cases is to refrain from using the ci " it is at all possible to do s< The ban necessitated by the gravity of the east coast supply situation must be continued for at least another six weeks, OPA officials have announced. “Just remember,” the rationing board chairmaft added, “the ban was necessitated by a critical shortge of petroleum products the 17 eastern states and the District of Columbia. “The citizens of the east coast were called upon to save gasoline in all possible ways,in order to preserve a sufficient supply keep essential war industries i ning and to provide our fighting forces in Africa with one of the most essential munitions of modem war. Without such savings of gasoline - in this winter period, the shortage of fuel oil will be aggravated, our war production may be slowed down and curtail- • ed and our military offensive may falter." Dr. Ashbum advised every . owner wanting to know if a tain trip is prohibited or permitted by the ban regulations to ask whether as an American citizen in time of war he feels that such a trip is essential to him . or to the war effort. “When you look at it that way, most trips appear to be matters of convenience rather than of necessity,"'"said Dr. Ashbum. “People can reach necessary meetings without their cars in a great many cases if they will only sacrifice their normal habits and convenience. Certainly in time of grave national crisis such a sacrifice is not too great.” Dr. Ashbum emphasized that while the notable savings achieved through public support of the ban must bp continued for the time being, it is not the purpose of the regulations to interfere with necessary economic activities of citizens. Neither will the regulations prevent them from getting cssen- . tial food and supplies, medical attention or from performing religious duties. All occupational driving also comes outside prohibitions of the ban. “Please do not ask us for special gas for out of town unless you have a doctor's certificate accompanying the application for this request of necessity.” Dr. Ashbum concluded.

Wene Superhighway Bill Being Studied WASHINGTON — Plans for a nationwide network of • superhighways for civilian and military use, contained in House Resolution 892 /introduced by Congressman Elmer H. Wene, of the Second New Jersey Congressional District, are being considered by the Hpuse Ways and Means Committee as a possible pdst-war r project to provide the nation with its greatest system of roads and to provide a vast amount of ployment to" offset post-war ployment slumps. Under terms of the bill, major trunks of the highway would 'reach from Portland, Me. across the country to San Francisco, and from the northern to the southern boundary of’the United States. One branch of the proposed superhighway system would terminate at Cape May. Known as the Jersey coast defense route, the highway would start at Woodbridge, and run in a southwesterly direction to Lakehurst, Atlantic City and end in Cape May. The measure introduced by Congressman Wene provides for establishing a superhighway commission and specifies its duties and powers in preparing for conutruction’ of the various links of 1 the highway network. The bill jrrovides that preparations for the project be completed so that work may be • begun immediately after cessation of hostilities if the superhighway plan is adopted by Congress. Although the cost of the highway construction would be counted well in the millions, Wene C inted out that the bill provides r moderate tolls which would ba sufficient to liquidate the long term bonds issued to finance construction. Besides offsetting post-war until, the Congressman the superhighway sys- . will provide America with a comprehensive network of roads adequate to handle civilian and military traffic at all times.
