OTTAWA, Jan. 80—(CP)—OiI Controller G. R. Oottrollo unplu- sized tonight that every car owner M10 feels he would be almttcd an extra. allowance of gasoline under the forthccmln rationing plan must submit ev don“ of need bc- fore he is placed in a preferred

itlons Minister I-Iovte warned Can- wdians that. summer holiday auto- mobile travel will not be altogeth- er eliminated by gasoline ration- lng but that it will be "very scr- lously curtailed."

Earl r. too. Mr. Oottrellc dis- closed that all passenger cars have been divided into three classes. by horsepower, and that the gasoline ration allot-ted to any vehicle will de nd on its category.

otomyclists will be cblc to drive on their gasoline ration just as many miles as the owners of cars driven only for pleasure. Mr. 00t- trcile said. Unless a motorcycle is used for commercial purposes, it will be placed in cattegor “A," class 4, which means on cl owancc for motorcycles of 24 units of gas- oline. At the proposed rate of fivc allons a. unit i-llLs will be enough or about 5.000 miles.

Commercial motorcycles will be granted all the gasoline they ziccd to the extent of their proved nor- mal re tiircments, based on the i941 ml ease.

Other Details

Amipiifying Mr. Howeb slate- ment. Mr. Cottrclle said that under the rationing plan the owner of a smell pleasure car will be allowed 60 units 0t gasoline-MO gallons- c year. 0i this, 33 per cent 0r 95 gallons may be Purchased in July, August and Sep ember.

During April, May and June- first three months of o ration of the rationing plan-- he small pleasure car allowance will be 80 gallons. 27 per cent of the year's supply. During the lest three months of the year the quota will bc 75 gallons or 25 per cent.

"Next year the motorists of Can- ada will start. lo feel the pinch," Mr Cottrelle said. "In January, February and March of 1943 no more than (l, total of 50 gallons will be permitted for each pleasure car. This rrpresents the remaining 15 per osnt tr-f the year's allowance.

Mr. Cc-tt-rclle emphasized that no more than a tnnkfull of gasfiznc would be carried over from one year's quarter to the next.

"The regulations provide very heavy jail tenns and heavy fines, or both jail and fine, if anyone is caught in possession of gasoline in an illegal lace," ha said. "It will be lllega for a motorist to store up gasoline in his private garage or in hil cellar, or anywhere else.

"So it is easy lo see that if he found himself with scme coupons leftover near the close of the bus- iness day of June 30. or at the end of any other quarter, the most he could buy. would be a tankful."
