C. Ache AllOver Feelinq of a COLD tory. Gas Rationing- To Be Retained "The Pacific front is now taking 8,400,000 more gallons of petroleum daily than bolh fronts required before V-E day," it was disclosed yesterday by an official of the war price and rationing board in explaining why gasoline rationing for civilians must remain iri effect until the end of the Pacific war. "Storage facilities throughout the nation are 'fairly Vith gasoline," it was admitted. This is due to the fact, it was pointed out, that the United States does not now have "in England a vast advance base for storage of.

all kinds of supplies," while in the Pactific there is no where such storage facilities can be placed in operation for the benefit of the war effort in. the Pacific area. Gasoline supplies, there, now stored in this country and shipped 'directly to the points'in the Pa- cifis'-wtiore they needed. The gasplihe quota alloted to the OPA for distribution in the third quarter of 1945 was 000'barrels a day, it was.Tevealed yesterday. Of this," non-highway users consume barrels; commercial 453,000 barrels, and passenger cars get the remainder, H90.000 barrels.

Under normal circumstances, it was pointed out, 'non-rationed 1,000,000 barrels for cars now iri use. This.means, said the ration board official, that nation is now more than 300,000 barrels short, every day, of what is needed for un-rationed driving. TO HIGH POINT Gasoline allocations for civilian use, here and elsewhere' in the country, have been increased to the highest.point that production and inventories can stand, it Was declared, but unless "help and co- 7 operation is forthcoming may fce necessary to gasoline allotments again." civilian allocations were increased, recently," the local'board was flooded with applications- for more gas from every direction. Much of this was gasoline that people did not really need and was evidently requested under the mistaken idea that the gasoline crisis was past. "Nothing could be further the truth," sa id the representative-of-the" local rationing- board, "and the figures cited are surely proof enough that there is still a vital fuel conservation job to do in connection with the war with Japan, arid we must all be willing to help." fro Richland Fair Planned as SC Fair Canceled Plans "for a.

Weed and Cotton Decline iii the cotton crop-with tobacco and peach crops equalling or better than last'- was predicted Monday by State Agricultural Commissioner J. Jones. A reduction, from" last year's 900,000 bale yield of cotton was attributed by Jones to reduced acreage, less superior quality and increase of boll damage because of rains.

Jones said that although tobacco acreage increased from eight to 10 per cent, the yield is not as great as last year. He said the greater acreage would offset the bad crop-conditions enough to equal or top last year's production, however. The peach crop, Jones noted7 would be two and a half times as large as tho 1944 crop.
