The suspensions range from 15 to 30 days, and OPA announced then they “will be followed sho-tly by others from a total of 175 reports of violations that were uncovered ten days ago” in spot checks made by 2,000 investigators in New York, Philadelphia and Newark, N. J. Simultaneously, Henderson de clared that filling station operators “who sell without regard to the rationing regulations are working against the welfare of their own country and aiding the enemy.” Public hearings preceded issu ance of the suspension orders, each of which cited the dealers with having sold gasoline without re quiring a ration card of the motor ist and without cancelling ration units on the card. Each of the 14 dealers, OPA said, admitted the charge. OPA said the 2,000 checkers, each instructed to drive into a fil ling station or garage and say: "I haven’t my rationing card with me and I want three gallons of gaso line,” visited several thousand re tailers. In each of the 175 cases turned in for further investigation, OPA summoned the operator to a hear ing and furnished him with a state ment of the exact charge against him. “It’s not smart to chisel,” Hen derson commented.
