The Office of Defense Transporta-

car deliveries of petroleum and pc
troleum products into the Eastern
States have fallen off 239 per cent
below pre-t1ood levels.
Deliveries of oil to the East bv
barge and pipelines-other than the
24-lnch war emergency pipeline
also have been strongly affected by
the floods. although late figures are
not available, ODT said.
The fact that the East's most
critical gasoline shortage occurred
when the overland petroleum move
ment was the highest in history,
ODT added, is an indication that
the tight situation probably will
continue long after the Eastern
movement is restored to pre- flood
levels
