They explained that administra-

is the date set for the start of a

TO BUILD STOCKPILEs
A source close to Petroleum
Coordinator Harold L. Ickes said
the so per cent cut was ordered
for the Pacific Northwest because
I'VE think it's advisable to build
up stockpiles a little more there"
and because it may not be possible
to maintain the present high rate
of overland oil movement.
Other developments in the COM

Disclosure by an OPC spokes-
man that the extraordinary costs

would be recognized by OPA su-

other petroleum products. He
