ICKES SHIFTS OIL
TANKERS SERVICE

WASHINGTON.-In his first pos
tive action to put more oil into
the east, threatened by petroleum
famine, Secretary Ickes announced
a Encouragement OF a ship tanker
service to increase the Atlantic
coast supply by 210, 100000 gallons
annually.
After conferences with officials
of the Sun Oil Co and the Stand
ard Oil Co. of California. Ickes,
who is defense petroleum co-ordi-
nator, announced he had made rec
concentrations whereby three huge
tankers now engaged on routes be-
tween California and east coast
ports would be switched to runs
from Gulf ports to the east coast.
The co-ordinator emphasized,
however, that this increase in the
east coast supply did not greatly
lessen the dangers Of prospective
shortage in that populous area,
where he has said restrictions on
civilian use of automobiles appear
ed inevitable"

While the defense problem In OIL
rests largely in the matter OF trans
portation along the Atlantic coast,
Montana may figure in the general
scheme by furnishing more crude
to Canadian refiners, relieving the
tank car situation in the Midcon-
tinent. The Montana representa-
tives were armed with data on the
amount of oil which Montana can
supply.
There was talk Of the appoint
ment of a Montana co-ordinator or
a state committee but there is no
reason to expect. the Montana rep
resentatives agreed, that there
would be any curtailment in the
use OF refined products In Mon
tana or any Of the western states
Further curtailment of West Coast

shipment by tank car of Montana
refined products to Puget Sound,
1t was stated. and it became known
that one major marketer is dis
placing California gasoline with
products of the inland Empire re-
finery at Spokane in the eastern
part of Washington. The entire
program thus far has resulted only
in increasing the market for re-
fined products, and as all refiner-
les are operating at capacity 1t is
affording but little increased de-
mand for crude. of which Montana
could produce an additional 1000
barrels per day.

German Steps Up Fury Of 3O-day Drive On Moscow But Russians
 Are Declared Holding Positions

UNDATED, Oct. 3l (PD - Ger mayn's invasion armies stepped up the fury of the thirty-day-old drive on Moscow, in two direc- tions. Soviet workers rallied from factories to fight alongside Red troops in a bloody series of bat ties around Tula, hundred miles south of Moscow. Tass said that tank led Nazi forces are driving hard at Moscow northwest flank, apparently in the Kalinin sector, 95 miles northwest of the capital, but heavy artillery fire and repeat ed Red counter attacks are check ing the German advance to the west and southwest of Moscow.
 Tass reported that Soviet troops are not only holding their de- fenSe positions but are improv- ing them in some sa tents.
 On the southern front, Hltler's command asserted that the Rus sians are in full flight under the assualt of German and Rumanian troops, smashing into the Grim can Peninsula.
