Orders 10 Convert
Furnaces in Homes
Expected Soon
Action Due to Follow
Edict to Apartment
Houses and Firms

An order to force all private
home owners to convert their
furnaces from oil to coal If they
are able to do so will be forth
coming soon, it was learned yes
terday, following the convert
or 60 cold" edict issued here to
apartment houses and CONNER
cial establishments.
Petroleum Administrator Ickes is
supporting the campaign to force
conversion Of furnaces in private
homes wherever possible. This is
one Of the main points stressed in a
letter reviewing the oil situation
sent by Mr.. Ickes to War Produc-
ton Board Chairman Donald Mel
son, it was learned.
In his recommendations to the
WPB, Mr.. Ickes outlined three
essentials toward meeting the fuel
crisis: conversion of industrial fuel
oil users to coal, conversion of pri-
vate dwellings and a general re-
duction in the use of gasoline by
civilians.
Steps Already Taken.
The OPA has already taken steps
throughout the Eastern rationed
area to force conversion of furnaces
in multiple unit dwellings and COM
mercial establishments. This cam
paign got under way in Washington
yesterday with the formulation of a
letter to be sent by local boards to
applicants for fuel oil rations in the
apartment house commercial estab-
lishment class.
This letter warned these consum-
ers that they would have to furnish
satisfactory proof" that it was I'M
possible for them to convert to coal
before January Cor their rations
would be cut of.
As to what would happen to ten
ants in apartment buildings which
refused to convert or failed to offer
a satisfactory explanation for not
changing to coal, no one in the local
OPA seemed to know. Local Ra-
tioning Director L. p Steuart could
not be reached. and lesser officials
said only that rationing boards
would not be arbitrary" in handling
the matter.
The outlines of the plan to meet
the fuel crisis in the East became
more apparent with the dispatch of
