Slight improvement for the
second consecutive week in the
East Coast oil supply situation
was reported today by Petroleum
Administrator Ickes in his weekly
petroleum bulletin.
Noting that the slight increase in
overall stocks came at very

nevertheless warned there are still
about four critical weeks ahead" f.

and no unforeseen miSfortunes occur,
we hope to be able to carry through
this period without any more serious
developments than have already

Spotty supply conditions continue
to exist in some local areas, Mr..
Ickes said, because the average stock
level is still below 40 per cent of
normal.
Tank car shipments to the East
averaged 806,968 barrels a day in
the week ended February 13, a ne
crease Of about 3 per cent from the

Planners Act 10 Save
Old Polo Ground
For Recreation
Suggest Navy House
WAVES in Temporary
Dormitories Near Pool
Earlier Story on Page BID

tCdTlcT StOTy on rage Bill
To save the former polo ground
in West Potomac Park for recrea-
tion purposes, a Navy Depart
ment plan to erect barracks for
about $500 WAVES on this site
brought counterproposals today
from the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission.
One suggestion was to the effect
that the Navy might be able to OBJ
tain permission to house the
WAVES in temporary women's dor
mitories now nearing completion
near the Lincoln Memorial reflect
ing pool
After hearing the Navy's original
proposal and explaining that the
polo ground is now being converted
into softball courts for the public,
the commission directed its staff to
cooperate with naval officials in
vestigating other locations for the
WAVES.
Question of Transfer.
The women's dormitories are
being built by the Public Buildings
Administration as project for the
National Housing Agency, one of a
number of similar projects to help
meet the housing problem for wom-
en- war workers in the Washington
area If the Navy can obtain per-
mission to transfer these dormitor-
les for the accommodation of
WAVES, planning officials said the
cost of new construction would be
avoided.
Members of the planning commits
sion expressed the hope that nothing
would be done at this time to divert
the polo ground to other uses. point
ing out that the war emergency has
deprived the public of a great many
former recreational areas in the
downtown parks.
While other sites were not men,
toned by the planning officials, it
was understood that the possibility
of using some of the buildings of
the old Naval Hospital on Constitu-
ton avenue to accommodate the
WAVES was being explored These
buildings, however, are now occu-
pied.
Project Is Large Enough.
The dormitorv project for war
workers, located in West Potomac
Park, is of sufficient size to accom-
modate all the WAVES, it was ex-
planned. They are tWo-story struc-
lures and will have a recreational
area for their future tenants, who
ever they may be
The commission adopted a resolu-
tion today directing that a thorough
investigation be made of all tempo
rary housing and Office structures
erected within the District. The
purpose back of the resolution, Sec
retary Thomas S. Settle explained, is
TO make certain these housing prof.
ects will not remain after the war
to clutter up the city.
He pointed out that the large
number Of temporary projects would
interfere with the orderly develop
ment of the permanent plan for
Washington, unless measures are
/ taken to guarantee their removal
within a reasonable time after the
cessation of hostilities.
