Washington, Feb. 23.—Farmers, if they have no other means of trans portation, defense workers, taxi ope rators, and essential traveling sales men will be eligible to buy new au tomobiles under rationing regulations announced today. Aside from these groups, the elig ible list follows in general that for rationing of new tires and includes physicians, visiting nurses, fire fight ers, policemen and others regarded as essential to protection of safety and health. No one will be permitted to buy a new automobile, however, unless toe local ratoining boards are satisfied: that the applicant’s present car is not adequate for the duties he per forms{ Rationing is effective March 2 and will govern the sale of toe 340,000 new automobiles made available for distribution this year. The Office of Price Administration directed that local rationing boards require an applicant to prive his need for a new car in the light of condi tions peculiar to his community, anc officials predicted that, with less than 10 per cent of last year’s adutomo- bile production available for sale dur ing the next 12 months, “Many per sons on the eligible list will not be able to get a new car.” Within these qualifications, the foUowing WiU be eligible for pur chase certificates; List Of Eligibles.

Under the “local conditions'” tests, ■ ported out, in some com munities a local ration board might decide that the needs of defense work- ““"J distances jobs out weighed the requirements of some other class of eligibles. On the other hand, in densely pop- ula^ sections wito adequate trans- portetion, a local board might rank most other classes ahead of defense workers able to reach their plant by bus or street car. ^ Approximately 140,000 new cars wiU be made available for sale to eh©ble civiUan buyers and various Federal, state wd local agencies be- tween. March 2 and May 31. State automobUe quotas wUl be announc ed withm a, few days. The rationing regulaitons do not apply to approximately 135,000 new automobiles which have been order ed stored for sale in 1943 and there- after. The regulations provided that per sons who made down payments on new automobUes prior to January i when aU stocks were frozoi may ob tain refunds if they are tmable to meet eligibiUty requirements.

Negro On Trial For Desertion Admits Bigamy Judge McQueen invidees Sus pended Sentence of Wmaan Bootlegger. John McKoy, negro of McLauchlin township, was ordered held for Super ior court on charges of bigamy when he admitted Tuesday that he had de serted a former wife and was living with a second spouse whom he had married without benefit of divorce. According to testimony of the de fendant McKoy had abandoned his first wife and three children living in Blue Springs township. He asked her for a divorce and she refused to get one. So. he and his second wife got “the papers” anyhow and were married and lived near Raeford. Af ter admitting to the abandonment charges he testified that he couldn’t support his first wife and the other one, which made the court curious about the “other one.’’ Bond was set at $500 until the next term of criminal court. Judge McQueen invoked a 3 month suspended sentence against Nora Siler, negro ly>otlegger of North Hae- ford. On cohl/iction on additional charges of violation of the pntoibi- tion laws 'Tuesday she drew anotoer 3 months’ sentence.

First, that there is stUl a great deal of “Aite jincoln” honesty still abroad in' toe l and. In the coUection of coin bbxes one man brou^t out a last year’s Can that had never been caUed for by the solicitors. There was not much m it, but he had kept it there for a year for the proper purpose. Second, there is a great deal of human sympathy in the world for the suffering. One mother sent a doUar in the name of her baby who had been crippled from a fall, this doUar accompanied by a rather touch ing letter. Third, that the American system of credit and installment buying is making people careless about their mail. Mrs. Paul Dickson’s check of $1.00 was temporarily lost by a News- Journal employee, who immediately replaced it with a $1.00 biU maUed to the Chairman in a News-Journal envelop.
