 Federal and state officials were trying to alleviate the situation and keep the oil rationing program from breaking down.
 Office of Price Administration of- ficials stopped the sale of gasoline to 100000 private motorists in r eastern seaboard states at noon to- day. President Roosevelt said the stoppage was only temporary and caused by the necessity Of shipping more fuel to Africa. Only trucks and emergency vehicles were cx- enptcd from the order.
 In the Middle West, Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana and WiScon- sin were chiefly affected by the crisis.
 Gov. Dwight Green, of Illinois asked an Investigation of the ra- tioning program and asked Iilinois' congressional delegation to take 8 stand against further bureaucratic bttngiing which does not take into consideration the needs of the iin~ dividuai." Green asked governorz of nearby states to join him in the protest.

Suits Charging Water Pollution
Threaten Closing Shelton Plant

were esta blished several miles in
land and the waste was pumped to
them for disposal.
By 1885 1t was discovered that
seepage from the sumps to the
bay continued to pollute the oyster
beds nearby, and second damage
awards were made.
At the same time, the annual
compensation WAS agreed upon by
separate agreements between the
oystermen and the mill on the
basis that further experiments
would be made by the mill for its
waste disposal.
In filing their suits In
equity here Friday, however,
the oyster-growers In effect
declined further annual dam
age compensations and re-
quest that the absolute nom
pollution terms of the 1891
court award be observed by
the mill.
II new and more successful
method of waste disposal cannot
be adopted, probable closure of
the big plant is forecast. Rayonier

Holding the threat of possible
suspension of operations for the
big Rayonier pulpmill at Shelton
three suits were filed simultane-
ously in federal court here Friday
asking a court order TO stop pollu-
ton of Puget Sound waters ada
cent TO Mason county.
The suits were brought by a
group of oystergrowers, whose
legal battles against the Rayonier
plant resulted in successful dam
age actions awarded first In 1881
on their contention that waste
liquids from the pulpmill killed
their oysters.
The Individual suits In

court award. the mill be for

waters, either directly or In
directly.

Arthur Nelson-deelares that an
agreement with the mill made
subsequent to 1881. although under
1t the group received $5,so3.oo
additional damages and S6s5.sO
damages annually since 1885, is
not sufficient compensation FOR
continued loss of their oyster
growing operations. The plaintlffs
were awarded S13,333 damages
under the 1881 decision.
Arthur Nelson and wife, who
brought the second suit Friday,
allege substantially the same.
They received $3.50 damages in
1881, s1.756.0s in 1885 and S205.77
annually since then.
Herbert C. Nelson and wife,
instigaters of the third suit, hold
the same claims. They were
awarded $500 In 1891. 81 .506.0s in
1885 and have received S17s.33
annually since.
