Standard Oil Refuses
Fuel Orders Because
OF Tanker SHORTAGE
Temporary CurtoiIment
Blamed on Diversion
Of Many Of Vessels

Because of the shortage of tanker
transportation facilities to the East
Coast. the Standard Oil Co. is re-
fusing orders to fill the fuel oil tanks
of its customers in the Washington
area, it was disclosed yesterday
The curtailment Of deliveries will
be only temporary, and there Is no
lack of oil, it was said.
In late spring and early summer
1t is the practice of many house
holders to lay in supply of fuel
oil for the coming winter. Dellv-
cries are now being made only to
those persons having immediate use
for the fuel, company officials ex-
planned Other major oil companies
canvassed gave no indication OF
possible curtailment of fuel oil
deliveries.
About 95 per cent of the petroleum
products consumed in the Eastern
States moves to the Atlantic Coast
by tanker, most of it from the Gulf
coast. The movement from the Gulf
Coast amounts to about 1850. 600
barrels a day, and requires the serv-
ices of a fleet of about $50 domestic
tankers.
Many Tankers Diverted.
Though the domestic tanker feet
normally has some excess capacity,
a combination of circumstances has
resulted in a rather tight situa-
ton during recent month" Robert
E. Wilson, petroleum consultant in
the Office of Production Manage
ment, pointed out in an address be-
fore the American Institute of
Chemical Engineers at Chicago sew
eral weeks ago. Principal factors
contributing to the shortage in
transportation facilities are the di-
version of a considerable number
of tankers to the servicing of Brit
ish needs, and the requisitioning by
the Navy of a number of large,
high speed tankers.
A large percentage of the domestic
tanker feet was built during or soon
after the first World War, and these
ships are nearing the end of their
useful life. This is another factor
cited by Mr.. Wilson as contributing
to a possible bottleneck In the trans
portation of petroleum to consumers
in the East.
The Maritime Commission re-
Gently made arrangements for build
ing several new ways to be devoted
entirely to tanker construction. BY
the summer of 1912. unless sinkings
occur at an excessive rate" these
new facilities, which call for the con-
struction of four new tankers a
month" should relieve the SITUATION
Mr.. Wilson asserted.
Barges Used on Ohio.
In addition TO studying possible
ways of improving the efficiency of
the present tanker feet. the indus
try is canvassing alternative meth
DDS of transportation to the East
coast. Some existing pipe lines,
which in recent years have been
little used to transport crude Oil to
East Coast refineries, are now being
utilized to their full capacity. Barge
transportation facilities on the Ohio
River are being expanded
I'm spite of everything that can
be done this summer, it will be very
difficult to get the desired volume
OF petroleum products into the East
Coast territory. especially if any
further diversion of tankers is found
necessary" Mr.. Wilson said.

u. 5. Hospitals 10 Award
Hemisphere Interneships

University hospitals and clinics in
the United States will award special
interneships to outstanding gradu-
ates of medical schools in the other
American republics for the coming
academic year, Nelson Rockefeller,
co-ordinator of commercial and Gull
tural relations between the American
republics, announced yesterday.
Candidates will be selected on the
basis of recommendations from
health departments and medical
school deans in each country. They
also will be interviewed by travelling
representative of the Pan-American
Sanitary Bureau and by United
States diplomatic representatives.
The plan was conceived by a
group of teachers in American medi-
cal schools. It was developed
through cooperative arrangement
between Mr.. Rockefellers office, the
Pan-American Sanitary Bureau and
the participating hospitals and
clinics.

The alternating bear of the North,
Russia, began to show signs of
alarm. Moscow sent a sharp rebuke
to Bulgaria, denouncing the surren-
der. Significantly enough, no pro-
test was made to Germany. Berlin
shrugged off the Moscow statement,
with the observation that Russia S
attitude was only defensive one,
that its army was not equipped for
offensive action. Therefore the pro-
test was of no importance.
Adolf Hitler wasted no time while
Turkey, Greece and Jugoslavia
trembled. He quickly sent couriers
to their capitals with offers of
peace" He said he had no de-
signs on their territory. Turkey and
Greece took small comfort from
these assurances. They had seen
the same kind of pledges given Pc.
land, Czechoslovakia and other
small countries that now have no
way Of life of their own.
Hitler seemed well along toward
success of the old German ambition
of drang mach osten, drive to the
east. To the east lies the riches of
Asia-Egypt, Persia, Syria, India
and East Africa.

themselves in peril. Jugoslavia.
through which better roads lead to
Greece, was in the same situation.
All found themselves facing the
choice Of fighting against an efficient
war machine or bowling TO the will
Of Britain. None had much hope
for success if they fought. All
looked to England for help, but the
problem of sending such assistance
was monumental. The Germans
had available 26 divisions for use in
the Balkans. The only British force
competent to deal with such num-
bers was in North Africa.
Whether the British had the means
available to transport and land an
expeditionary force was problemat
ical. General Wavell's speedup
campaign in Libya undoubtedly was
TO clean up that area quickly in the
hope Of using his troops in the Bal
kans. The factor of time and space
in such a movement, however,
seemed unsurmountable.
