5000 Tank Cars
Shifted 10 Brinq
Fuel Oil toEast
Unrotioned Areas
Transport Facilities
To Be Withdrawn
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Attempting to ease the threat
OF winter fuel oil famine in the
East, the Office of Petroleum Co.
ordinator has requested 5000 ad-
ditional tank cars for the Atlantic
Coast area and directed oil COM
panies to make substantial and
Immediate increases in overland
shipments.
The industry was informed by
Deputy Co-ordinator Ralph K.
Davies yesterday that the OPC in
tended to withdraw from unrationed
areas any transport facilities which
would be used to relieve the area
OF shortage"
The diversion will increase the
Eastern tank service to $1,000 cars,
more than so per cent of the coun-
try's total, and was expected to
boost the daily delivery into the At
lantic shortage zone by about IS 900
barrels.
Effect Here Pondered.
Local officers of leading oil COM
panies said it was impossible at
this time to hazard a guess at what
effect the 5000 additional tank cars
would have on Washington's Met
ropolitan Area. It would depend,
they pointed out, on several factors
for example, on the number of cars
which could serve this immediate
area, on the speed and certainty of
rail deliveries and on the amount of
fuel oil which could be shipped here.
They expressed hope that this and
other measures would avert a fuel
oil shortage in the winter.
But we don't know" said one
dealer. II doubt that anybody does
at this time"
Pig Iron for Crates.
The War Production Board also
considered a request for ALLEGATION
OF several thousand tons of pig iron
for the manufacture of CRATES to
convert residential oil burners into
coal furnaces.
An OPC spokesman declared if
the division of tank cars should
cause shortages in the Middle West
and Southwest and bring curtailed
deliveries to fuel oil and gasoline
dealers, the Office was prepared to
meet the situation.
Mr.. Davies told the Eastern oil
companies that he expects the sub
stantial and immediate increase" in
overland shipments because Of Gov
eminent absorption of the extra
costs of hauling oil by railroad in
stead Of by ship.
Mr.. Davies said that last weeks
record-breaking movement Of 800,-
100 barrels daily of petroleum into
the East was then thought to be as
great volume of tank car traffic
as the railroads could handle.
Solid Train Shipments.
However, a schedule of through
shipments of solid trains now in ef-
feet speeds up the movement sub
stantially, and permits the handling
OF more cars at this time" the dep
uty co-ordinator stated.
Besides agreeing to absorb the
excess cost Of overland shipment
Federal Loan Administrator Jones
has agreed to subsidize the extra
cost of petroleum products pur-
chased in the Middle West as COM
pared with those bought on the Gulf
Coast, Mr.. Davies said.
This is expected to bring into the
East petroleum from the Great
Lakes region which has been un-
available heretofore because of its
higher cost.

BRITISH FEAR STORM IN INDIA
GANDHI AND NERHU BELIEVED WORKING TOWARD CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE STRIKE

LONDON. July - Streams of refugees have poured into India in recent weeks from Burma. The Japanese have moved their air fields within striking distance Of Chittagong and Calcutta. the latter a vita center for the sup ply of Indiaa-manufactured arms to the soldiers defending he bor der.
 While the menace thus becom- es more formidable every day. India's internal politics become more complex at almost as rapid a rate. | is believed here a pol itical storm of great proportions is slowly gathering in India
 Two points of view are clear ly presented. The first ls the Indian declaration that the West ern mind cannot comprehend the philosophy of a country that still insists on ruling herself af- ter more than two centuries of dominance and still feels that she can repel the Japanese more ef- Actively by passive resistance than Westerners can by arms. The second ls that, regardless of Congress party opinion, British arms, strengthened by United States supplies and manned by Indian troops arc determined to contest Japanese movements with all the power thev com mand.

 The principle of non-violent non-coopera1lon is utterly futile and a clear invitation of the Jap anese to seize India" It is the bounden duty of every Indian to defend the motherland against Japanese aggression. said the reso lution.

Mr. Raj aaopalachari. in adhering to the Cripps plan. led a very strong segment of that body. The Pea sants' Conference, credited with having a purely conmmistie fol lowing. nay have driven a still larger one.
 Strange things are happening in India. Forces that formerly were strongly anti-British. now believe in an all-out war effort.

4,000 Planes
Made in May;
President Says
$4,000 Machine Guns
And | 500 Tanks
In Output Report
By GARRETT d. HORNER.

President Roosevelt disclosed
today that the United States
produced during May nearly
1000 planes, more than 1,5O0
tanks, nearly 1000 artillery and
anti-tank guns and more than
100000 machine guns and sub
machine guns.
The airrlane production rate
would give the United States $4,000
planes year If the May rate should
continue throughout the year. This
is expected to be exceeded, how
ever, as the rate has been ris-
ing steadily, recent reports have
shown. President Roosevelt in a
message to Congress January out
lined as his production goal for
this year $4,000 planes. His other
goals were set as follows: Tanks,
$4,000. anti aircraft guns. 10000:
merchant shipping, 100000 dead
weight tons. The statement today
did not disclose the number of anti.
aircraft guns or ships being pro-
duced
Releasing the figures, the first Of
flclal ones on American arms pro-
duction since this country entered
the War, the President declared.
They are definitely going to give
the Axis just the opposite of aid
and comfort
I'VE ere we'll on our way" the
President declared. toward the rate
of production which will bring US
to our goals
Warns Against Rest on Oars.
He asserted however, that we
can't rest on our oars" because we
need more and more" tools of war
and must also remember that there
are plenty Of serious production
problems ahead
The text of the statement BY
Mr.. Roosevelt. released by White
House Secretary Stephen Early,
follows:
I'VE ordinarily do not release
production figures because they
might give aid and comfort to the
enemy. I am going to give today
just few which are definitely going
to give the Axis just the opposite of
aid and comfort
I'VE are well on our way towards
achieving the rate of production
which will bring us to our goals
In May We produced nearly
1000 planes and over 1900 tanks.
We also produced nearly 1000 ar
tillery and anti-tank guns. This
is exclusive of anti-aircraft guns
and guns to be mounted in tanks.
$4,000 Machine Guns.
And here is a figure which the
Axis will not be very happy to hear
in that one month alone We pro-
duced over $4,000 machine guns of
all types-including infantry, air
craft and anti-aircraft. That does
not include submachine guns. If we
add those in, the total is we'll over
100000. All these figures are only
for one single month.
While these figures give YOU some
idea of our production accomplish
ments. this is no time for the Amer
lean people to get overconfdent.
