Fuel Oil Shortage
Acute In East,
|OPA Declares
Conversion To Coal Heat
ing BY All Who Can Pos
sibly Do So Urged AS
Solution

OPA officials advise that the sup
ply Of fuel oil has become dan
gerously low in the past few weeks.
At the beginning of fuel oil
rationing the East Coast supply
situation was running from 200
900 to 100000 barrels per day short
of need. This shortage was oc-
casioned by lack of transportation
facilities and only by this lack.
Today, the situation is this, "trans-
portation is part of the shortage
factor, the rest of the shortage
factor is in the product Itself
OPA states that for several months
there has been need for five
times as much kerosene as there is
supply. There is now need for
every drop of residual oil refined
the area east of the Rocky Noun
tains. Railroads, west of the Mis-
sissippi, will buy all they can get
One leading road in this most i'm
portant and essential service was
down to a two-day supply of fuel
oil at the end Of October, simply
because proper oil was not availa-
BILE, even in Kansas, Oklahoma and
Texas. OPA states there is a
shortage in all fuel oils, grades 1,
2, 8, 5, and 6, outside of the State
of Texas.
People are urged to convert to
the use of coal or wood.
1t has often happened that APP
plicants have stated that they could
not convert because of their in
ability to obtain coal. This may
have been true at one time, due to
a temporary local coal shortage Of
the coal supply, but it is known
that there is not general short
age of coal. The reason that coal
will be more easily obtained is be-
cause there is a shorter haul on
coal, and that difficulty can be more
readily surmounted than the COM
bined difficulties which exist on
fuel oil, namely, long haul, plus
a shortage of the product itself.
In case of people using oil burn
ing space heaters who would like
to convert to the use of coal, these
people may go TO their local War
Price and Rationing Board and Sc
cure an authorization to purchase
coal stove. No authorization is
needed for the purchase of stove
designed for the use wood.
Everything points to the fact
that the shortage on fuel oil will
not be eased in the near future.
Fuel oil is an implement of war,
and, therefore, people now using
fuel oil can contribute to victory,
and also be far more comfortable,
if they would convert to the use
of coal or wood as quickly as pos
sible.

Coach. Elmer Ripley hopes the
Hoyas' long-range scoring eye is on
the beam tomorrow for long shots

the Terps out of their closely-knit
defense to pave the way for a short
passing attack into the blackboard
Georgetown encountered zone de-
fenses against both Western Mary

both rivals, but whether it can be
considered in class with Maryland,
