The curfew was ordered ended
as of today, and the co-ordinator
requested Donald Nelson, priorities

Ickes Issues Statement.
Secretary Ickes issued this state.
ment:
The restoration of the 10 tankers
has enabled US to reach the goal
toward which the ONCE of Pc
troleum Co-ordinator has been
striving since this summer-the re-
moval of gasoline restrictions which
we're necessarily invoked on the
East Coast.
The many step taken by the Of
fee Of the co-ordinator, together
with the outstanding cooperation
and help given by the oil industry
on all fronts, brought a rapid i'm
provement in the general East Coast
oil situation. On top of this i'm
provement, the effective aid given
the British has enabled the release
of tankers. The reservation of these
vessels will mean that we will be
able to maintain a better supply of
petroleum on the East Coast as long
as the ships can be kept in normal
service.
"I have therefore requested the
director of priorities to remove the
limitations now in effect.
1T is my hope that our people
will exercise good judgment in the
use of gasoline and oil. We have
made real gains since early summer,
and with the exercise of common
sense regarding the use Of petroleum
and its products, we ought to be
able to maintain our gains and pre-
vent any losses

May Close 10000
Plants, 0dIum Fears
O.P. IA. Official Recalls
Fote of EneIond's
Small Businesses
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-Floyd B. Od-
lum, director of o. P. MS contract
distribution division, expressed
fears today that more than 10000
small businesses in the United
States might have to close down
under pressure of the national de-
fense program.
At a press conference which pre-
ceded his visit to a Midwestern
clinic on defense subcantracting, he
reminded reporters that after Eng
land entered the war 10000 busi-
nesses died almost overnight.
Then he said that many more
than that in this country might
have to suspend operations if the
Nation was to arm itself adequately
and give all possible aid to the
fighting democracies.
$4,000 Plants in U. S.
There are about $4,000 plants in
the United States, Mr.. Odlum said,
and about 10 per cent of them are
small plants, as yet not benef1tting
fully from the defense boom.
The o. P. M is trying hard to
find means Of keeping these plants
operating or of assuring their en-
ployes steady employment else
where, he went on. One method
being tried is to have the big air.
plane factories absorb the employees
of aluminium companies whose busi-
ness has fallen off because of the
scarcity of material.
Emphasis on Diversion.
Mr.. Odlum reported that the big
gest emphasis now was on diversion
of plants to defense production
Later on he told manufacturers at
tending the subcontracting clinic:
by now it is apparent that de-
fense work must be placed and
placed quickly in thousands of small
plants. The defenders of democ-
racy need Immediately all weapons
we can possibly give them. To use
less than our total practical capacity
to produce munitions is to risk de-
struction Of our civilization.
1.-The defense job is simply SO
enormous that there are not enough
Of many materials for defense pro-
duction and normal goods, too. To
save themselves, as well as safe
guard the Nation, small industries
must divert their production wher-
ever practicable.
