Val tCA ShOA oih a - ~ ~
With an official Federal warn
ing that only 10 days supply of
gasoline now is available on the
East Coast, definite proposals
were made in Washington today
to start rationing Immediately
on daily average basis so there
will be a supply left for the end
of the month and the Labor Day
holiday.
Acting Petroleum Co-ordinator
Ralph K. Davies announced today
that meager Today supply refutes
reports that stocks on the East
Coast are in firm and safe condi-
tion.
This is the beginning of the sharp
and serious drop in supplies ve
forecast" he declared.
In the District, Harry VAIN
wright, executive of the Gasoline Re
tailers of Washington, Inc. issued a
call for 670-odd Washington gas
station operators to meet at 8 pm.
tomorrow in the auditorium of the
new Interior Department Building
to discuss rationing plans.
Sees More Drastic Measures.
Discussing the "perilous situa-
ton in the East. Mr.. Davies re-
emphasized the warning from the
Offlce of Price Control and Civilian
Supply that more drastic measures
probably will be necessary beyond
the rationing now based on 90 per
cent of the July sales totals.
Stocks of gasoline on the East
Coast dropped $4,000 barrels last
week as the recent diversion of tank
ers TO Great Britain began to exert
heavy influence. Mr.. Davies gave
a detailed report on oil supplies on
/ the Atlantic Seaboard in reply to
those he called near sighted
prophets" who had circulated re-
ports that warnings of an impend-
ing shortage were "phony."
/ Mr.. Davies based his estimate of
a 1O-days' supply on the fact that
only 6.476000 barrels of gasoline are
nov actually available for use on
the Eastern Seaboard. He said 20
476OOO barrels of gasoline were in
storage in the East last week, but
OF this amount roughly $4,000 900
barrels are unavailable because they
are at the bottom of tanks full of
sludge, in process of being refined.
etc.
Consumption Above Last Year.
Mr. Davies declared that consump-
ton is u per cent above last wear
despite the sharp decline in shin
mentS and inventories. He warned
that unless drastic steps are taken
our people are to be left to freeze
and our defense industries will b.,
shut down for lack of power" with
shortages growing worse as tankerS
now carrying gas are required for
fuel oil
Stocks of heavy industrial oil are
approximately 2,50OO00 barrels less
than they were at this time last
year in the face of a 10 per cent h.
crease in demand, the acting petro-
leum co-ordinator said.
He asSailed certain figures being
circulated" which he said were mis-
leading because they include oil
positively earmarked for defense
purposes, which oil is unavailable
for domestic consumption.
The figures now show the dan
ger point to be approaching rap
idly. Shipments from the Gulf have
begun to drop. Last year the in
duStry had a reserve of tankers
