Washington, May 5.—Gasoline con sumption in the East will be slashed 50 per cent, below normal starting May 16, the War Production board announced tonight.

The reduction becomes effective the day the seaboard area begins us ing ration cards. While the overall curtailment will be one-half, informed sources ex plained that it would amount to about 60 per cent cut for non-es sential users of automobiles, since necessary vehicles will continue to receive their full requirements of fuel. The W. P. B. action, taken on recommendation of Petroleum Coor dinator Harold Ickes, came shortly after Joseph B. Eastman, defense transportation director, declared “ev ery owner of a motor vehicle in pub lic or private service should realize that he holds this vehicle in trust for the national war effort and that it should be used only for purposes of necessity.” This statement of Eastman’s ap plied to the whole country, not mere ly to the east. Simultaneously with the gasoline order, W. P. B. directed that deliver ies of light fuel oil be reduced also by 50 per cent below last year, be ginning May 16 in the 17 eastern states and the District of Columbia.

Mr. Johnson then spoke on the part Hoke was playing in the raw cotton industry through its weR-de- veloped one-variety program which is bringing to the farmers here a premium price on their staple. He stated that the ginners of Hoke coun ty are doing the best job of those in any county of the state and a job equal to any county group east of the Mississippi. Cotton, to remain a paying money crop for the farmers, must stay on the offensive, the speaker said. Re search must be carried on continu ously for better types of staple, and for more uses. Developm.ent, as you see. must start at the soil. Farmers must keep their lands in the best producing condition, use the right fertilizers and the best seed avail able. Harv'esting must be done at the right time to get the highest grade staples, and ginning equipment must be maintained in good condi tion and operated intelligently to as sure the grower of staples of great est length and cleanest condition. Gin damage in many cases he stated, was being studied and plans are now be ing made for the erection of a large gin on the campus at State College to teach agricultural students the proper methods of handling all types of staple grown in the state, Harry Davis, of the agricultural museum, talked briefly on the search now being made to find aliuninum ores in Hoke and adjoining counties.

Mr. Davis added that the agricul tural department leaders who are supervising the scrap metal cam paign used Hoke’s campaign as their example of the manna: in vdiich the salvage program should be “really handled.” Laurie McEachem, former Hoke legislator now connected with the motor vehicle bureau, accompanied Mr. Johnson and his party here and attended the Kiwanis meeting.
