By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 33.-John A.
Brown, president of Socony Vacuum
Oil Co., told stockholders at the an
nuAl meeting today he estimated
earnings In the first five months Of
194l at about $4,000, 900 before
taxes, compared with $l3, zoe, 900 be-
fore taxes In the same months last
year.
Comparison OF net earnings after
taxes cannot be estimated, Brown
said, until the new tax bill Is passed.
Brown said the company's do
mestic earnings before taxes In April
were approximately half Of what
they were In that month last year
and only about half what they were
In March due to excessive increases
in the cost Of moving products to
the Eastern States.
"The movement of products East
at high cost must 60 on and must
be increased, II possible" Brown
said, "but surely no one will disagree
with our opinion that this service
cannot be carried on at such heavy
loss by industry"
Certain -Teed Products.
Certain-Teed Products Corp. re-
ported for the March quarter net
profit of $282,l30 equal to 1886
a share on the per cent preferred
stock, on which there are dividend
arrears. This compared with $l32,-
1856, or $181 q preferred share in
the like quarter of 1941.

iaries motor transportation COM
pany, reported consolidated net In

q year earlier.
The company noted that before
reserves for taxes, profits increased
$674,781, or about 48 per cent,
despite further strengthening of its
inventory position.
GHdden added, however, that
although it IS not subject to excess
profits taxes for the latest period,
nevertheless it Is expected that for

Output Due
BY the Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, May 28.-Reduction
In tin ALLEGATIONS will cause q sharp
drop in tin plate production during
the second half of this year, Daily
Metal Trade reported today.
Thus far, output Of plate has been
running about 10 per cent Of last
years figure" the trade publication
continued. "A good first quarter has
been followed by reduced output
during the second quarter, and sharp
curtailment is expected after July /.
"Tin has been doled out at a fairly
good pace during the first half be-
cause it is during that period the
bulk Of plate for the domestic crop
is produced. Stocks on hand now
are heavy, both in mill warehouses
and In the hands Of canmakers and
packers. From now on, output will
be confined to the needs OF late
packs plus export demand. During
the fourth quarter production is ex-
pected to be sustained almost entire

Trucking Association, Inc, warned
the motor transportation industry
last night to be on guard against
what he termed ruthless attempt
to put motor carriers out Of busi-

Addressing Western New York
trucking executives, he said that
competing transportation agencies
were using the rubber shortage as
a basis for a whispering campaign
designed to convince shippers that
truck operations have been curtailed
to the point where motor carriers
no longer are able to render salts
factory service"
Rodgers emphasized that truck
operators have been given preference
on tires, gasoline and replacement
parts necessary to keep in operation
and said that trucks now transport
18 per cent of all freight.

Drop in Gasoline Demand
For June Is Indicated
By the Associated Press.

By the ASeoclete0 Pre6S.
The total demand for gasoline in
June was estimated by the Bureau
Of Mines today at 52.600 900 barrels.
7,022 900 barrels less than the actual
demand in June, 1941.
This decrease" the bureau said,
reflects both the restricted use Of
motor vehicles in order to conserve
tires and the severe rationing Of
gasoline that became effective in
the east coast area during May"
The agency estimated the daily
average supply Of domestic crude oil
to meet the market demand in June
at $3.50, 900 barrels, $4,000 barrels
below the demand estimated for May
and 367, 800 barrels less than the
actual demand last June.
Petroleum Co-ordinator Ickes Al
ready has recommended daily pro-
duction of 1856, 800 barrels Of petro-
leum liquids in June.
