Short Of Oil
As Sedbodrd
Officials Can't Agree
on. Proportion TO Be
Available This Winter

WASHINGTON. Aug. % (UP).
Deputy Petroleum CO-ordinator
Ralph *. Davies said today that
only Is per cent Of their fuel oil
requirements would be available 10
New EnglanderS and other East
Coast consumers this winter under
normal weather conditions.
lie said some form of restric-
tionS may be necessary because OF
the anticipated 25 per cent reduc-
ton. and added that an order
might be issued in a few days pro-
hibirng sale of fuel oil 10 con-
Sumers whose furnaces can be con-
Verted 10 coal.
Director of Petroleum Supply r.
I. Minckler. however, told a con-
ference Of New England represent
tativCS and war emergency Off
Gals that New England would
suffer no greater hardship this
winter than the Middle West,
where only IS per cent of fuel oil
requirements will be met. Other
parts Of the country Will have all
the oil for heating they need, il
was believed.
Minckler said that if the coming
winter is as mild as last in New
England and along the East Coast,
the available supply Of fuel oil will
amount to 80 per cent Of require
mcntS.
AT present. he added, the short
age is greater in the Middle West
than in the East because of the
diversion Of tank cars from that
area.
Earlier War Production Chief
Donald ". Nelson and Price Ad-
m,niStrator Leon Henderson had
warned New England officials Of
the need of greater conversion TO

Save on BUILDINGS, Too

Under the restricted use or
critical materials. the new re-
qulrementS Of building materials
for barracks and buildings is
considerably more drastic than
Aprll's lists. In the new lists
restrictions continue severe on
copper. rubber. zinc. lead and
aluminium In addition TO steel.
Chromium, magnesium and
nickel are virtually barred. ADJ
ditional prohibitions limiv
further the use Of drying oils
fuel oil. wool. mahogany and air.
craft grades OF spruce.
The army has frequently in
noVated substitutes IN its con-
Struction work long before pri-
vate building felt the pinch.
Months ago plans were changed
and specifications altered on
cantonments. airfields, ordnance
plants. and installations for the
Services of Supply. Minor
changes in specifications often
save tons Of critical materials.
Copper flashing for roofs and
walls, for example. is replaced
by flashing Of asphalt-coated
steel Brass in bathroom fixtures
has virtually disappeared in
army construction On faucets
alone some 5000 pounds OF
brass VIII have been saved By
the end OF 1912.
