![["The Office of Price Administration is informing Congressman George B. Schwabe about the need for continued gasoline rationing due to public misunderstanding and tight gasoline supply. The Petroleum Administrator for War allocates gasoline every three months for civilian use, and OPA's responsibility is to distribute it fairly.
