Mileage Estimates By C-Book Drivers Hit at Gas Hearing The blame for much of the gaso- line rationing problem was laid to- day at the door of the C-book holder who. according to an Office of Price Administration official, overestimates his actual mileage traveled in essential business. Testifying before a House Inter- state Commerce Subcommittee in- vestigating gasoline black markets. Charles F. Phillips, director of the Automotive Supply Rationing Divi- sion of OPA, asserted that “our greatest problem is getting Mr. and Mrs. John Jones to apply for only what they need and to stop at that point." The official admitted, under ques- tioning by Representative Brown, Republican, of Ohio, that many per- sons overestimate their require- ments because they feel ration boards* will cut their requests in many cases. Mr. Phillips also ad- mitted that many automobiles to- day are not getting 15 miles to the gallon, the yardstikc used by the OPA in issuing rations. Boards can make adjustments, however, if it can be proved their mileage is down, he said. Fair Share Demanded. Mr. Brown commented that it was “an old American custom" to want to get a fair share of things. Mr. Phillips replied that he had heard that that was the custom. Meanwhile the OPA. reporting aome progress in its drive against gasoline black markets, announced there was no increase in illicit diversion of fuel during the last month and declared “this fact alone Is a heartening achievement.” The scene in Washington Cathedral today as the Right the sermon which preceded the consecration of Bishop Dun Daily drain from legitimate use Rev.
