Oil Deficit
May Dissolve

Washington. Sept. 2S-AP- Gov
eminent experts believe the deficit
between eastern petroleum needs
and the quantity OF oil now being
supplied that section, can be wiped
out before the end Of this year.
4 well-informed source who de-
clined to be named. said today these
experts were confident that 10
per cent increase in the rail move
ment OF oil into the Atlantic sea
board could be obtained quickly by
adopting plans now under consider
alton for pooling oil industry IA
cilities.
That would mean an increase NJ
more than 100000 barrels of oil
daily. on the basis Of Petroleum Co
crdinator Harold l.. lckes latest
report, which showed daily rail-
movement averaged S56.7l0 barrels
for the week ended Sept 10.
1t would also reduce the gap be
tween the East's estimated daily
needs nov placed at approximate
ly 100000 barrels since heating oil
is about to be rationed along with
gasoline-and the current all-means
movement of 10000 or more bar
rels. by about - per cent.
This remaining deficit OF about
100000 barrels would be turned
into a slight safety margin on com
pletion OF the 550-mile pipeline from
Texas TO Illinois. which is designed
to free great numbers OF Midwest
tank cars for use in the East.
lckes office has estimated that
the pipeline. scheduled for compile
ton some time in December, would
increase the supply of oil TO the
East by some 10000 barrels daily.
