Future Is Uncertain.

Petroleum executives themselves
don't know yet how serious the
situation is or how it will develop.
1t contains great many un-
/ predictable elements Stocks along
the Eastern seabosrd are heavy and,
even if shipments we're curtailed
further, motorists and oil burner
owners would not feel the pinch
for many months.
Other methods of bringing in oil
are being explored. Some pipelines
which normally carry refined pro-
ducts inland from coast refineries
have been reversed and tied in with
| the oil fields to bring crude to the
| coast. Some oil can be shipped
on the railroads. although experts
doubt whether there is sufficient
equipment to move much.
If the oil industry gets delivery
OF the 10 tankers now being con-
structed for it, some executives
believe the situation can be handled
smoothly without serious shortage.
Stocks are big enough to carry over
until new boats come into service.
On the other hand, if the British
need more tankers-and some ex-
perts say they mayor If the United
States Navy swings into intense
action and must be refueled well out
70 sea. these new fast tankers may
be drafted by the Government. In
that case, some cut in civilian con-
sumption might be necessary.
The Maritime Commission put in
rush order for 70 tankers last
month, but it will be some time be-
fore they get the first of these boats
and several years before they get
all Of them under present schedules.
Causes Price Rise.
That's the story behind the re-
cent rise in gasoline prices. Car
owners of the eastern seaboard
have been paying cent or two
more per gallon for the last week
or so.
It's situation where further
price boosts might normally be ex-
pected.
These aren't normal times, how
ever. If you want to know how
much gasoline and fuel oil prices
are likely to rise you'll have to ask
Leon Henderson. If the rise goes
very far he'll probably have some
thing to say about it.
If shortage should develop it
would be another clip on the chin
Tor the automobile. The mass pro-
duction wonder of the goth century
is having rough time of 1t.
Next years production has al
ready been sliced 20 per cent, and
defense authorities are reported
about ready to swing the ak for an
other 20 per cent cut.
Rubber authorities also are be-
lieved to have haymaker primed
for the automobile. Defense re-
qulrements may cause some sort
OF restrictions on civilian use of
crude rubber. Also under consid-
Grafton are heavy excise taxes on
