WED LIEUTENANT IN NORFOLK FOIliMililE-COURT FEBRUARY 6 IN LURAY Banning pleasure driving the latest war restriction to be placed on the people came In for much consideration here today, but law enforcement officers marked time pending further clarification of the OPA's ruling. Effective at noon today, the Of fice of. Price Administration had announced that anyone with an or ration feook caught driving for pleasure would have his gasoline stamps taken away from htm.

Police had not been instructed on this matter and were awaiting the return to this city of Chief John M. who had gone to Pittsburgh to return a prisoner. Deputy sheriffs said tney were doing nothing about checking up on pleasure driving, and were wait ing to see what was expected of them in the way of enforcing the regulation. The Sheriff was not available for comment today. Police thought that it would be a "difficult.

task" in many cases to prove that the person summoned for pleasure riding was actually doing Just that. Although the order making this effort to restrict Class and coupon holders to essential driving came from OPA Its enforcement had been placed at the door of city, county, and state officers. No Interpretation By early this afternoon, Staun ton's War Price and Rationing board had received no interpretation of the OPA's regulation. Opin ion was generally expressed that there were certain obvious uses of cars for pleasure, such as attend ing sports and social events, but how much more stringent the restriction is to be no one was prepared to say. Attendance at sports events, such as basketball games, and on golf courses, etc, was apparently cer tain to drop because of the ban and games involving transportation seemed doomed.

There appeared a probability, too, that attendance at such amusement places as mov ing picture theaters would decline. Aitnougn passenger traffic on local streets appeared to be off considerably, it was impossible to say now much this was attributable to Inclement weather or to the OPA edict. 0 "MYSTERY COLUMN" CAPTURES POSITION London, Jan. 6 A Fighting French force driving up through southern Libya from the Lake Chad area has taken an important enemy position and held it aaginst a counter-attack by enemy motorized columns, a communique from the headquarters of Brigadier General Jacques Leclere announced tonight.

(Continued from Pag 1) Dwindling gasoline and fuel oil supplies in the East brought orders for an end to pleasure driving in seventeen Atlantic seaboard states today and a cut in the use of heating oil In non-residential establishments to forty-five percent of normal requirements. The stringent edict, announced by the Office of price Admin istration last night gave schools, stores, churches, theaters, and similar structures a choice of cur tailing their hours or days of operation or continuing as usual to a "too cool for comfort" basis.

The ban on- "driving for fun' specifically forbade motoring to theaters, race tracks, and similar amusement centers, or to meet "purely social engagements." Any motorist disobeying the order, effective at noon today, faces cancellation of all or part of his gas oline ration, OPA said. Await Definition Pending an official definition of pleasure driving, OPA authorities said motoring to church, to a doc tor, or hospital does not constitute violation. Taking children to school also appeared to be all right in tne absence of other transportation. The best test, OPA added, is mat -if it's fun. it's out" Price Administrator Leon Hen derson said the order is necessary because "there simply isn't enough fuel oil or gasoline to go around." Military and civilian demands, he asserted, are exhausting Eastern reserves of petroleum more rapidly than over-strained tank cars, tanxers, and pipe lines can re plenish them.

All persons holding fuel oil heating rations for other than private dwellings were directed by OPA to return them to their local Ration board during the week commencing Jan. 18 if more than thirty percent of the floor area is used for non-residential purposes. The number of ration eouDons to be eliminated will be, determined by the board for each of the three remaining heating periods, three, four, and five. The amount of "trimming" will depend on the percentage of floor area. used for commercial or other non residential purposes, special ar rangements, however, will be made for hospitals and for war plants where constant temperatures must do maintained.

Each of the affected establish ments such as stores, theaters, office buildings, barber shops, markets, beauty parlors, restaurants. and similar businesses, is free to determine whether the fuel deficit will be made up by closing for one day a week, shortening hours of operation, or by adopting any other measure It sees fit. Specifically, the added restric tion reduces rations for period three to fifty percent of normal through removal of rations from the ration sheets. But since the coupon value for the third period was cut ten percent last Sunday, the order reduces rations for the period to forty-five percent of tne amount normally used. Both the fuel oil curtailment and the prohibition against pleasure driving are effective In Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Massachusetts.

Con necticut, New York, New Jersey. Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, tne of Columbia and the portion of Florida east of the Apa lachicola river. The pleasure driving ban was cnosen by Henderson rather than another slash In the value of "A1 coupons which, are good for only uiree gallons each in tne seaboard area. State, county, and local law en forcement agencies were called upon to carry out the new regulation toy reporting violations to local ration boards or local OPA offices. The burden of proving no violation will rest entirely on the driver.

Protest Is Voiced WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 (flV-Op-position to the Office of Price Administration's edict against pleasure driving In seventeen Eastern states was voiced today by Rem-e sentative Schiffler (R-W VA) who said he had filed a complaint with tne OPA that the order works an especial hardship on residents of forty-seven western counties in West Virginia. Declaring that his views repre sented the opinions of his Republl can West Virginia colleagues In the House, Schiffler said: "Everyone In West Virginia Just as anxious to make necessary sacrifices to win this war as residents of any other state, but in regard to this gasoline situation we feel that our people are being made to suffer unnecessarily, because western West Virginia produce more gasoline than the area con sumes. I have filed a formal com- piaini. Senator Revercomb (R-W VA) de clared earlier that he was sure "the people of West Virginia are perfect ly willing to give up their pleasure driving if It's necessary to the war effort." but added that "since gaso line Is produced in abundance" In West Virginia, residents there are "reluctant to accept any order that would be unfair or wasteful."

He said this would become evident to the Japanese peo ple "when we strike at their own home islands, and bomb them constantly from the air."

He added that our fighting men want root only a lasting peace, but permanent employ ment for themselves, their famines and neighbors when they are mus tered out.

George A. Cook, chairman of the board, planned separate, closed conferences each day with spokesmen for both parties at which he will seek to mediate their differences. The board took Jurisdiction of the dispute Involving fifteen unions on Dec. 22. Demands for a closed shop and wage increases of twenty cents an hour, with a mttiimum of seventy cents an hour, were served on the railroad companies Sept.

Introduction of the closed shop issue was the first time the subject had been raised in the history of labor relations between the lines and the non-operating groups. The brotherhoods, it was reported, were encouraged to advance the closed shop proposal by recent awards of the War Labor Board directing certain individual corporations in other industries to place "union security" clauses into effect.

Intervention of the mediation board is the first move provided for under the National Railway act designed to dispose of labor controversies without crippling the Nation's transportation facilities through strikes.
