Gasolineless Sundays and
other restrictions throughout
the United States and possible
conservation measures affecting
the whole of the Western Hemi-
sphere were suggested by the oil
industry this afternoon as a
means of meeting expected
shortages in petroleum.
The industry's report said the East
would begin to feel petroleum
deficiency by July which would be
intensified progressively into au-
tumn and the next year.
The oil men, here for talks with
Government officials, recommended
creation of an industry committee
and its spokesmen pledged cooper
alton "to any extent in meeting
needs of supply.
Formed at the request Of the
Ofice of Production Management.
the industry committee submitted
its report to Secretary Ickes, re-
Gently designated by President
Roosevelt as petroleum co-ordinator
for national defense.
Would Have Broad Impact.
"Any restriction that may be nee
essary by reason of national de-
Tense" the report said, should be
shared equitably by the entire West
ern Hemisphere, or at least by all
the United States"
The mention of restriction on
! Sunday use of automobiles backed
a suggestion made by Secretary
Ickes last week.
1t also was suggested by the oil
men that petroleum could be saved
by converting many furnaces from
oil to coal, and possibly by lowering
home. temperatures during winter.
The committee suggested tnlme-
diate construction of oil pipe lines
from Louisiana and Texas to the
East. to meet the deficiency ex-
pected to result from transfer of
one-f1fth of the American coast
wise tanker fleet to the British
service.
Secretary Ickes told the confer
ence he favored the pipeline
method of delivering oil. 1t was
estimated line from Texas to the
New York Philadelphia area would
cost $70,0O0,0OO.
More Ship Shifts Indicated.
Representative Cole, Democrat, of
Maryland told the House Rules
Committee today there were reports
that still more oil tankers might
be diverted from the Gulf Coast
Eastern seaboard run to British
uses and contribute further to
shortage of transportation facili-
ties.
He made the statement while
asking legislative right -of-way for
the administrations bill to author
ize either the Government or private
companies to exercise the right of
eminent domain to obtain necessary
clearance for new lines.
