The Office of Price Administration announced further cuts in gasoline rationing for motorists in the eastern U.S. seaboard. Starting November 22nd “A” coupons would be good for only three gallons of gas. According to Administrator Henderson, this was a further attempt to eliminate non-essential driving. Holders of “A” coupons have been limited to about 240 miles of driving per month. (Bristow)
