Gasoline Prices About
 to Soar, Oil Men Say

Kansas City,-Motoring this summer will be more costly than ever, so far as gasoline consumption is concerned.
 Leaders of the oil industry, here to- day for the annual convention of the Western Petroleum Refneries Associa- tion, were unanimous in forecasting still further increases ia the price of gasoline. Greater consumption coupled with decreased production is responsi- ble, they say.
 "In the face Of scant 28,000, 000- barrel margin last year, we now are usiRg 233, 900 more barrels of oil day than the daily production last year, J said F. A. Pielstricker, Eldorado, Kas., head of the association.
 "Oil fields are not producing like they did last ye&v. No new big fields have been opened for several months ana old fields gre petering out" said Pielstricker. He also said the Wor- than, Texas. oil field had fallen off steadily in output.
 More scieotlfc methods of produe- tion, however, will offset the decreased supply somewhat, Pielstricker added, " hich will keep the price of gasoline from going completely out of sight. :"
