Wood Gas Urged as Auto Fuel
By Eastern Shore Forest Chief

Heavy trucks, buses, tractors ar

wood gas in Europe for several year
and I'VE can do it here" he declared
Mr.. Schnur said present gasoline
engines could be converted to wood
gas engines by use of special ear
buretors and gas generators with
little trouble and expense. From
$50 to 420 pounds of wood or half
that amount of charcoal would be
consumed by a lotion truck, fully
loaded, in 100 miles of travel. He
said the cost of operation would be
about half the cost incurred by the
present use of gasoline. =
Present gasoline stations would
be ideal spots for location of the
woodpiles of fuel, he said.

Conservation Committee, headed by
Assistant Engineer Commissioner
Beverly c. Snow, met yesterday and
adopted a program for fuel oil con-
servation. After certain minor
changes suggested. by the committee
have been incorporated, the program
will be submitted to the Commis-
sioners for their approval. This is
expected Monday.
High lights of the program are:
That householders using oil for
heating purposes prevent waste of
fuel by house insulation, weather.
stripping and similar aids.
That temperature of homes at
night be reduced from 10 to IS
degrees.
That daytime temperature be
kept at 10 degrees, as each degree
above that point means per cent
additional fuel consumption.
The local committee also received
assurance at the meeting that oper-
ators of taxicabs will be permitted
to purchase gasoline during the IL
hour "no-sales" period. This de-
velopment came before Mr.. Frey's
announcement covering all gasoline
stations affected by the ban.
Police Supt. Ernest w. Brown, a
member of the committee, asked if
any instructions should be issued
to his force regarding the sale of
gasoline during the ''blackout"
period. He was instructed to await
a meeting at the Interior Depart
ment Monday to which Secretary
Ickes has invited State oil conserva-
ton administrators.
Maj. Snow PROBABLY will attend
and thereafter present recommen-
dations to the Commissioners con-
cerning action which the city heads
will urge gasoline dealers and others
to take in connection with inter-
probation of the restriction program.
In another development yesterday
w. L. Bush, president of the Blue
and Grey Sightseeing Tours, Inc,
informed Maj. Snow that, effective
September /, the company will cur
tail and eliminate some of its sched-
ules and tours in order to conserve
fuel.
Tours to be discontinued include
special Saturday afternoon and Sum-
day public building tours. the daily
/ pm. and 4:30 pm. city tours,
tour to Shenandoah Caverns, one
to the Franciscan Monastery, and
one to Arlington National Cemetery.
The American Automobile Associ-
alton, in a statement, urged the
Government and oil industry officials
to expedite the definition of emer-
gency cases and regulations as to
how they are to be handled during
the hours in which sales of gaso-
line are banned.

HELSINKI, Finland, Aug. o.
Finland officially admitted today
that Russias northern forces have
"been especially active during the
past "a hours" but declared that all
their numerous attempts at attacks
had been thrown back.
The Firms own operations were
reported to be developing accord
ing to plan.
A communique said Soviet naval
vessels attempted to lombard
Mantsi Island and shelled other
points along the Northern and
Northeastern Ladogan coast. DAM
age was described as slight" be-
cause ''the vessels were quickly

The newspaper Ilta Sanomat said
tonight "the arrival of a large Eng
lish fleet in the Arctic Ocean proves
that plans more far-reaching than
temporary air raids are in the Of
f1ng."
British naval planes operat-
4 ing from surface carrier,
Ibombed Petsamo, Finland, and
Kirkenes, Norway, Wednesday
night in cooperation with Rus
sian flyers. Aircraft carriers
almost always are escorted in
wartime, but the size of the

disclosed.
The newspaper described the
bombing of Petsamo and Kirkenes
as Britain's second effort to relieve
pressure against the Stain Line
the first being the aerial offensive
against Western Germany, which 1t
declared had been frustrated.
An extraordinarily large Soviet
army in the Murmansk sector was
interpreted as proof that major i'm
portance was attached to the north

which oil is moved by ocean tanker
from Texas to New Jersey.
Middle Westerners may expect to
see, within the next few weeks, vir-
tual conveys of petroleum tank
trucks, carrying 5000 to 10000 gall
Ions, rolling over the highways with
supplies for the East. That method,
of course, uses lot of gasoline itself,
but the Nation has more than
enough gasoline-the sole problem
is supplying the industrial East.
The most important near-future
step toward solution of the supply
problem is the approaching con-
struction of a 250,000- barrel day
pipe line from East Texas to Salem,
Ill, to the New York-Philadelphia
area.
Although not even the survey of
the proposed line has yet been COM
pleted, it is expected to be in opera
ton within IL months.
Pipe Line to Be Costly.
It will cost about $4,000, 900, and
it is understood present plans call
for its construction entirely at the
expense of a group of oil companies,
who will borrow from banks and use
their own cash reserves to pay for
the huge project.
Included in the group are report
ed to be Standard Oil Co. IN. j.,
Consolidated Oil, Tide Water, Sun
Oil and Atlantic Refining
The companies were said to have
agreed to finance the project them
selves rather than call for a Gov
eminent loan at the usual per cent
rate and rather than have the Gov
ernment construct the line itself
thereby bringing the Government
into the Oil business.
The oil companies expect to be
able to ship crude through the line
at a cost of 471a cents barrel to
amortize the cost of the lines con-
struction in five years.
Full Success Doubted.
Oil company men, by and large,
do not think much conservation of
gasoline will be achieved directly by
the filling station "curfew" plan
which goes into operation at 7 pm.
Sunday.
They point out that a motorist
could fill his automobile tank late
in an afternoon and drive most of
the night If he liked. But they do
think the measure will assist in i'm
pressing on the public the serious
ness of the situation.
Although Mr. Ickes' request for
the filling station 12-hour closing
was only request, virtually every
gasoline distributing organization
in the East has ordered strict COM
pliance with the suggestion.

ROCHESTER, Mimi. Aug. O.
Medical use of new chemical dis
covered in sweet clover, which de-
lays clotting of human blood, has
been announced in the proceedings
of the Mayo Clinic.
The clover remedy shows promise
for treating variety of difficult
diseases, including thrombosis, for
nation of blood clots which lodge
in heart or lungs and often cause
quick death.
A puzzling cattle trouble, called
sweet clover disease, led to the
discovery. After eating spoiled
clover, cattle sometimes would bleed
for no apparent reason.
Seven-Year Study Completed.
Three months ago, Prof. Karl Paul
Link and associates, of the Wiscon-
sin Agricultural Experiment Station,
completed seven-year study with
the discovery, isolation and synthesis
of the new clover chemical.
The chemicals name consists of
q letters, four hyphens, three
numerals, one pair of parentheses,
one comma and one single quote,
read 3,3'-methylene- bis t4-hydroxy-
coumarin). The first reports of its
human usefulness are made by Drs.
H. r. Butt, E. v. Allen and j. l..
Bollman of the Mayo Clinic.
They tried it on dogs and found
something remarkable. namely, no
bad effects of any kind. They then
used 1t on six patients, with equally
remarkable absence of untoward
effects.

recently discovered heparin, a liver

virtually every citizen in the At
lantic States, from Florida to Maine,
would be affected.
The price rise and Government
control are expected before cold
weather arrives-perhaps within the
month.
These drastic steps have been
agreed to, in principle at least, by
government officials and leaders of
tne OIL industry. They are intended
TO keep defense industries operating
and homes heated this winter.
East's Situation Explained.
We are facing the worst supply
crisis in the history Of the oil in
dustry," one authority said unless
every expedient works, the East faces
mighty tough winter"
The supply situation, in a nutshell,
follows:
The Eastern seaboard consumes
100000 barrels of petroleum pro-
ducts day-that is So per cent of
all the motor fuel, 46 per cent of all
ngnt fuels, 40 per cent of all resi-
dual fuels and 81 per cent of all kero-
sene used in the United States;
Ihe Eastern SeabOard has been re-
celvlng most of this supply by 267
ocean tankers, but so of these tank
ers have been transferred to the
British, cutting the East's supplies
by 100000 barrels a day, and some.
thing between so and 100 more tank
ers are Feportedly in process Of
transfer to the British.
In other words, the East has been
using about twice as much petro-
leum as 1t can obtain by usual sup
ply methods this coming fall and
winter.
Rationing Proposed.
The Government, under the au-
thorlty Of Secretary of Interior
Ickes, petroleum co-ordinator, is ex-
pected to try to regulate the East's
consumption by a system of prior
tiles, that is, by rationing deliveries
on the following schedule:
l. Industrial fuels for defense and
ether vital industries.
2. Heating oils, including kero-
sene-and it is likely that home
owners will be asked to hold their
house temperatures down around
IS degrees.
3. Crude oil supplies for Eastern
refineries,, some of which will oper-
ate their stills with coal.
4. Gasolines.
Delivery on this basis of priorities
will be made by all the tankers re-
manning in the East Coast trade.
These will be pooled in the inter-
ests OF efficiency and operated by a
committee, as yet not chosen. But
they can handle only about half the
needs.
To make up for this deficiency,
the oil companies must ship around
500, 900 barrels q day of petroleum
and petroleum products by train
and motor trucks at freight rates
which run as much as $l.92 a barrel
az gallons above the cost of ocean
transportation.
Basis for Expected Increase.
This Is the cause for the prospec-
tive increase of 2 cents a gallon in
the cost of gasoline to the motorist.
Even If rail rates were lowered,
they could not possibly be reduced
to the level of is cents a barrel at

Then, despite all of his previous
charges about the government

Maritime authority congratulates

again, Tydings declaimed that "if
this happened between two individ-

misrepresentation and deceit
While he expressly refrained
from making this charge against
the government he snorted that
the result was the same, namely,
that it was fraudulent and deceit
