Ready Replies FIGHT 'GAS' RATION SHIFT Letter to Bowles Tells of Threat To Output Rochester industries last night vigorously protested to Chester Bowles, administrator of OPA, against plans to switch issuance of gasoline rations from Rochester to Buffalo. The protest was in the form 'of a letter to Bowles from the Indus trial Management Council of Roch ester, and containing the signatures of 53 firms, who announced they were "disturbed to find arrangements are in progress transferring the issuing of local OPA gasoline coupons from Rochester to Buffalo." Fear of Delays Cited Signed, in addition, by Lewis B. Swift, IMC chairman, and A. Edwin Crockett, manager, the latter warned against delays in war production should the proposed change in policy be carried out.

OPA is planning to establish a district issuing office in Buffalo that would serve the entire Buffalo-Rochester district. Copies of the letter were sent to Representatives James W. Wads-worth and Joseph J. O'Brien, of the 38th and 39th Districts; Daniel Woolley, regional OPA administrator, New York; Thomas J. Reese, district OPA director, Buffalo, and Charles Stanton, executive chairman of the Rochester War Price and Ration Board.

Stanton to Visit Buffalo The IMC protest has been heralded for several days. Stanton, who has been studying the situa tion closely, will go to Buffalo today to discuss the question, and other ration problems, with Reese and other OPA officials, he said last night. The proposed transfer, stated to take effect in Buffalo and Erie County May 1, and other parts of the district later, was discussed by the Monroe County Ration Board advisory board yesterday, but no action was taken, Stanton said. He added members did not feel the situation had developed sufficiently to warrant action.

Jaycees, who are working on the project with their wives (Jayn-cees), are asking householders questions ranging from the number of persons employed in the home, to what articles the family will purchase after the war. Jaycees believe the fact that names of the persons interviewed will not be divulged, in fact are not even recorded, has much to do with the co-operation of those being questioned.

YOUTH INJURED EV CRASH Morris Weissman, 18, Buffalo, suffered a slight back injury early yesterday, police reported, when the car in which he was riding, driven by Robert Kramer, 27, Buffalo, collided with a second ma chine, operated by Charles O'Far- rell, 53, of 199 Seward at Central and Joseph Avenues.

That's the conclusion drawn of Commerce volunteers who started out yesterday on a county-wide survey to determine what peace will do to the area's economy. Working with them were a group of Volunteer Information Carriers, sent out by the county Office of Civilian Mobilization.

Two Jaycees, Cortland Young and Charles Zukerman, set the day's record by contacting 64 persons. Some of the questions they asked were: What percentage of your salary are you saving? Are you going to live here or move elsewhere after the war? What will you do with your savings after the war? The surveyors will Interview 10,000 persons in 3,400 households to obtain the facts which will provide a basis for planning high levels of employment and production after the war.

Just a matter of misjed signposts. In New Jersey he had various difficulties with the traffic authorities.

Nothing seiious; no violations committed with deliberate intent and malice of forethought. But once in Hacketts-town, Johnnie called to a man pitting on a rocking chair on his front porch and asked the way to Newark. He was an old man. and he kept cupping a hand at his ear and piping back, "What? What? What ja say?" Seemed the man on the porch was hard of hearing. est ess Bttj err So Johnnie turned his car from the street and drove it over the man's front lawn and darn near up on the man's front porch, shouting all the time to be told the way to Newark, and the old guy who couldn't hear, got a little upset about this and summoned the law.

Well, after quite a little talk, the law put Johnnie on the road to Newark, which he reached after one or two minor contretemps, but there he made one or two other minor blunders, with the result that a posse of traffic policemen escorted him to the mouth of the Holland Tunnel and told him to get over to New York as quickly as he could and never, never return to the state of New Jersey. "It is all a mistake," Johnnie paid, in relating his experience, "and due to the fact that I am slightly befuddled." Halfawy through the Holland Tunnel Johnnie became so impressed by the notable engineering skill, enterprise and industry that had made this under-t he-river passageway possible, that he stopped his car to go over and examine the wall, to see if it was mado of brick or terra cotta. This, apparently, was the wron? thing to do, for instantly hT was Aft upon and grossly abused, this time by New York Stat agents of the law, who drnundnl with many unprintable epletlve what in thunder he thought he wan doing, holding up a mile of traffic while he went over to rub hi hand along the tunnel wall. So Johnnie got back in hi. car and drove on over to Manhattan.

However, coming out of the tunnel, tie somehow got screwed up in the labyrinth of lower New York, and before he knew it he was back in the Holland Tunnel, this time bound back to Jersey. Well, all of this, as Mr. Kipling used to ay, "is another nd part of it once was printed in this tpace. Johnnie Milazzo la now "enjoying" a new experience. For a number of years he was a sort of general factotum at tfie Genesee Valley Sports Club in East Avenue, where, working at his job, he often seemed to be having more fun than some of the member who paid for the club's privileges.

A husband and father, he was recently drafted. He just about made it, and presumably he's in the Army only on probation. For Johnnie Milazzo is such a little guy that he stands only five feet and one-half inch, wfcich is one-half inch above the Army's minimum, and he weighs only 109 '-i pounds, which is only a pound and a half over the Army's minimum weight, for a man of his year. He writes from Camp Maxey, Texas. rEAR MR.

CLUNE: "I am writing this letter to you while I am on night guard. The reason I am on night guard is because I started writing a letter to you while I am on kitchen guard yesterday, and they catch me writing the letter while I am on kitchen guard, which it seems rr is against regulation. If they catch me writing a letter while I am on night guard, I suppose they will put me on day guard. But maybe day guard will be better than night guard. Anyway, they do not catch me yet.

"You know I promise I will write to you, and now I will get about telling you about a little man who is drafted by Uncle Sam, but I think some day Uncle Sam will be very, very sorry he drafted THIS little man. First of all, Uncle Sam cannot make me even look like a soldier, because he has no clothes that make me look like anytning except a big Back in which some animal, say a big live cat, has been pat by some person who does not want the cat anymore and is taking it down to the river to heave it in. "Nothing fits me. can get both feet in the right shoe they give we. Both feet, except for one big toe, in the left one.

While you back there are being told to save tin cans and scrap iron and gasoline and old newspapers, the Army down here throws me enough shoe leather to let me walk all the way from Camp Maxey, to Rochester, N. with plenty of spare leather for resoles and heels whenever needed. By the way, speaking of heels but maybe they censor these letters. "Well, -anyway, I have two shoes so big that I do not even have to unlace them. I just shake my feet and they fall off.

Sometimes when I am marching some place one of them slips off and I have to go back and get it and that always makes the sergeant mad. I should love a sergeant! "Then they throw me a pair of pants. I take a look at the pants and then I take a look at the guy who throws me the pants. 'I though Fatty Arbuckle is I say to the guy. 'I can't wear these pants.

Look at the size of the pants and look at 'You are in the Army now, the guy says. 'You will wear them pants and like I should write to Gen. Marshall about this guy! "Anyway, I put on the pants. And from then on, all I hear, it seems, all over Camp Maxey, Texas, Is. 'Milazzo, pull up them pants.

You ain't down here to sweep the streets. Milazzo, FULL UP TIIK.M But when I pull up my pants, they cannot see my head, because I am completely submerged. Milazzo in these pants this Army 'gives me is nine-tenths pants and one-ten Mi America's unknown soldier. "Then they give me a hat. If the hat is brass, it will still be too big for some of these guys in gold braid, whose head is as big as a prize winning punkin at the Tri-County Fair.

On me it is no hat at all. It is a diving helmet. It falls below my chin and I cannot see a thing. In these pants and in this hat I stumble out of the quartermaster's depot into something big and squashy. 'Hey, soldier, where t'h 1 you think you're a voice creams at me.

'I'm going to Tokyo, by remote control I screams back. Well, with that, my hat is snatched from my head, and I am standing in front of a big. fat-bellied colonel. Imagine my surprise! 'You little G.I. the colonel yells, only he don't say 'I ought to have you thrown into the guardhouse for "Yes, I says, but all the time I am thinking, You big lug.

Thrown me into the guardhouse. In the guardhouse, maybe I will not have to wear pants, but can go around in my BVD's, instead of slouncing around like a big bag with a live cat in it, or pretending I'm the furled mainsheet of a racing yacht. But the colonel just gives me a very hard look and polishes up the medal on his chest, which he likely gets from the Boy Scouts years ago for learning to light a fire in a woods without using matches. "They ask me what I can do and I tell 'em I am a cook and a bartender and they give me a long-handled shovel and tell me to dig not one, but 25 post-holes. I should love, a long-handled shovel!

The order covered men between 18 and 26, and thus over 26 years who are engaged in non-essential industry, one board member said. The information, it was believed, probably will be the basis for May quotas of local boards. Although the quotas were expected yesterday, they were not received locally. "All men up to 26 years of age undoubtedly will be called unless there is a 42A or a 42 Special (deferment applications from employes) in for them," a draft board member said in discussing the new order. The list that will be supplied state headquarters will Include only those who has passed the pre-inductioti physical examination, accordin gto the order.

That would cover the men examined this month and last month by the mobile ex-ami-nation team. Date for the next visit of the examination team has not been received here, Maj. Thomas D. L. Cronan said.

The team usually is here during the second week of the month. 3 Admit Speeding, Pay $35 in Fines Three motorists arrested over the -weekend on speeding charges were fined a total of $35 by City Court Judge William G.
