son that they were unwilling 10

Beatty said managers Of major
companies employed a marketing
system which costs major COM
panies seven cents per gallon TO
handle gasoline through the filling
stations. He said the oil code under
Secretary IckeS had balanced sup
PLY and demand. and had showed
inventories of crude and gasoline
TO rock bottom in many parts OF
the country"
The oil industry is in for reg
ulation similar 70 that exercised

Charles j. Fahy CT Washington,
chairman OF the petroleum admins

said private initiative and absolute
independence OF action IN the oil
industry must be modified BY

thanked the Texas Railroad Com
mission for work done under this
provision.
