![["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. The statement emphasizes the importance of public understanding and support for the rationing program until gasoline supplies are adequate. The need for rationing is due to increased military demands for petroleum products, particularly fuel oil, for the Pacific theater. The statement also explains the current allocation of gasoline for different users and the challenges in meeting demands. The goal is to relax or eliminate rationing once gasoline supplies are sufficient."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_3_52_0000-Price%20Administration,%201945/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_3_52_0006_thumbnail.jpg "Addressing the Need for Gasoline Rationing: A Statement from the Office of Price Administration")

![["Mr. and Mrs. Walter Thiessen of Collinsville, Oklahoma wrote to Congressman George B. Schwabe expressing their concerns about the unfairness of the Navy's point system for discharge. They feel that sailors who have served in dangerous areas should receive more credit towards discharge. Congressman Schwabe forwarded their letter to the Navy Department for consideration. The Navy is working on modifying the discharge formula to give credit for overseas service and prioritize the return of sailors who have been longest outside the country. They aim to reduce the size of the Naval force by September 1946. Schwabe's secretary, Camille M. Geneau, informed the Thiessens that their letter was being considered and they would be notified of any updates. Schwabe also reached out to Vice Admiral Randall Jacobs for more information on the Navy's demobilization program."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_3_42_0000-Navy,%201945-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_3_42_0015_thumbnail.jpg "Concerns Regarding Navy Demobilization Program")
