Plans for Effective

Washington fuel-oil dealers are
making individual appeals to Gus
toners for cooperation in the face
Of a shortage of petroleum products
on the Atlantic Seaboard caused
largely by the numerous tanker
sinkings.

members of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association Oil

all quarters involved would lead to
an acceptable plan for meeting the

Mr.. Gritzan said he had written
TO Ralph K. Davies. deputy petro-
Ieum co-ordinator, advising him OF
local compliance with the Govern
nent recommendations, but inform
mo the official that dealers here
feel an energetic educational pro-
gram should be started by the Gov

MIR. Gritzan suggested that these

stripping, etc.
4. Have heating equipment checked
periodically, since such practice can
effect saving of up to 1212 per cent
in consumption.
Gasoline dealers have not been
affected acutely to date and nave
adopted a policy of watchful walt
Ing, according to Harry Wainwright
Spokesman for the Gasoline Retail
ers of Washington, Inc.
They are aware a reduction IN
business is inevitable as motorists
restrict use of their vehicles and
as lack of tires forces some cars
from the streets, Mr.. Wainwright
said, and hope for revival OF the
night-and- -Sunday-closing policy.
Most dealers are of the opinion
this conservation measure would be
greeted with a larger measure OF
cooperation than was the case when
1t was tried last year, because cid-
Gems now have good reason to drive
less.
Mr.. Wainwright expressed conh-
dence the move would save an ap-
preciable quantity of gasoline.

At length in 1851, President
