Virginians May GET
Equal Treatment on
Gasoline Soon

Virginia, whose gasoline invento-
rles are increasing by approximately
100000 gallons a month, may soon
be placed on an equal rationing foot
ing with all other States east of the
Mississippi River
While Gov. Darden yesterday was
releasing a study by Motor Vehicles
Commissioner C. F.. Joyner, disclos-
ing the increase in gasoline storage
in the State, Senator Byrd, Demo-
crat, of Virginia said he has been
informed by War Mobilization Di-
rector Byrnes that Petroleum Ad-
ministrator Ickes shortly will an
nounce a plan to establish uniform
gasoline rationing regulations in the
Eastern States.
Seaboard States from Virginia
northward are included in the ban
on pleasure driving, while that re-
striction does not apply to other
Eastern States.
Byrd -Byrnes Discussion.
Senator Byrd discussed with Mr.
Byrnes the gasoline situation par
ticularly as it affected Virginia,
where vigorous protests have been
voiced by State officials against
what they called discriminatory"
treatment of Virginia in comparison
with continguous territory and in
the face of an improving supply sit
uation.
Senator Byrd said he was told the
plan called for reducing supplies in
the zone east of the Mississippi out
side of the driving ban area.
Mr.. Ickes announced on July II
that he expected to equalize gaso-
line rationing in the area between
the East Coast and the Rocky
Mountains within 30 to so days.
At that time Mr. Ickes said the
equalization probably would mean
some increase in the East and a
decrease in the Middle West and
Southwest.
Inventory on Storage.
An inventory of Virginia oil COM
panies' storage tanks showed that
there were PATTI 1862 gallons of gas
oline on hand on June 30. an in
crease of 4,907154 gallons over the
amount on hand May 81, the Joyner
study revealed
The study showed that the June
30 inventory was sufficient to last
"a days into July without importing
any petroleum.
During June. Virginia received
by pipeline and other modes of
transportation-54, ,521 1874 gallons of
gasoline and exported for use in
