Washington, Feb. 3-(UP)-Off-
Gals close TO Petroleum Coordinator
Harold L. Ickes we're frankly wor-
ried" today about what reaction a
tanker shortage will have OH east
coast and Pacific northwest oil sup
plies.
They said rationing or a cur
few in Sivilia, gasoline sales were
not now contemplated although
plans were under consideration to
cope with any eventually"
Ickes last week described the situ-
alton as tight and getting tigher,
adding that he considered 1t his
respor sibility to act If it becomes
necessary. He said, however, that
he had found 1t wiser TO wait until
the brick hits you"
A congressional investigation re-
ported that gasoline sales restrict
ions imposed by Ickes last summer
were unnecessary though more
than 100 of the 800 tankers nor
mally needed to meet east coast
iemard s had then been diverted to
Britain. Most of these tankers were
returned later.
The new tanker shortage develop
ed last month. Large numbers
were Communicated for war duties
in the Pacific, presumably to supply
army and navy forces in the Far
East. Submarine attacks along the
Atlantic coast have been aimed at
| tankers.
w. r. Boyd, Jr., president of the
American Petroleum Institute and
chairman of the Petroleum Industry
Council for National Defence, des-
cribed the supply question as a
major problem He said the coun-
Gil, which concludes its monthly
meeting here Wednesday, might
drew up a set of recommendations
to be submitted to Ickes.
Problem Developments
Officials listed these indications
of a fast-developing problem:
/. Tank car traffic from south
west and midwest pipeline terminals
to the east coast jumped SO per
cent to 3410 cars per week during
GIle Two WEEKS tllOcu jail. ~, dl1e
still was climbing. Tank car ship
ments to the northwest also were
increasing appreciably. Prior to last
summer virtually all oil delivered to
the east coast and the Washington
Oregon region was carried in tan
kers, from the Gulf OF Mexico and
Southern California, respectively.
2. The OPC last week discontinue
ed it's weekly announcement Of east
coast oil inventories.
3. Although the maritime COM
mission on Saturday launched the
first of 146 tankers to be constructed
before 1914, the scheduled produc-
ton rate of approximately five per
month Is considerably below last
months submarine toll OF seven
sunk dncluding three of foreign
registry ard three others damaged
off the coasts.
4. There were indications that
Ickes might resume pressure for
construction of a 20-inch pipeline,
with a daily capacity Of 100000
barrels, from Texas to New York.
This proposal was rejected last fall
when the supply, priorities and al
locations board refused to make
available the necessary metal.

Miles from Lieutenant GOttlieb,
but close to him in spirit, is Ser
geant Herman Wolf, 4O-year old
marine from Brooklyn, N. Y, held
by the Japanese in Peiping, China.
His brother, Arthur Wolf, says,
Herman was tough fighting

years ago and never left the ser
vice.
IF it's true that Herman is a
prisoner, then the Marines have
lost a good soldier"
Maurice MOscowitZ, a young
soldier of 90 who was stationed
at Hickman Field during the jap
anese stab at Pearl HarbOr, was
recently commended for bravery
under fire. The commentator
was issued by Brigadier General
HI. C. Davidson and Lieutenant
Colonel William L. Boyd of the
Air Force. Said Colonel Boyd,
"In total disregard of personal
safety, you fought back with
every weapon you could find"

so LAWYERS-NO LESS!:
Private Murray Greenbaum, a
lawyer in civilian life, looked
IOnesOmely around his anti-aircraft
post at Camp Stewart, Georgia,
and wondered if there could pos
sibly be another barrister about.
Not seeing one, and faced with
the prospect of spending the entire
war thinking his legal thoughts
to himself, he inserted an an
nOuncement in the post bulletin.
Lawyers" it said, Private Muir
ray Greenbaum wants to see you"
He hoped in this way to meet two
or three other legal minds about
the post who might get together
and talk over POldasld versus
Gideon in their spare time.
On the day scheduled for the
first meeting, Greenbaum showed
up early at the Savannah USO
Center, operated by the Jewish
Welfare Board, quite sure that no
one else would come. To his in
credulous surprise, however, no
less than fifty soldier-attorneys
were waiting for him. A discus
sion group was quickly organized,
and legalstic phraseology has
been scattered all over Camp
Stewart ever since.
