WASHINGTON, June l. - The
governments warning of prospects
for gasolineless Sundays and re-
Istricted heating next Winter has
aroused the inquisitiveness of con-
gressmen as to why this should
be SO.
The first Smitch Of inquiSitive-
ness will disclose that the oil COM
panieS transferred 80 tankerS OF
100000 tons to Panama and Vene-
zuela registry Immediately after
the outbreak of the war.
The current shortage of tankers,
which is supposed to be the cause
of the prospective trouble, is esti-
mated at only 10000 tons for the
third quarter of this year begin
ming July l. The suggestion will
soon come from Congress that the
dire shortage could be cured by a
recovery of these ships.
