Assurance for Future

Help From Dealers

ton were dropping dangerously
low as an increased number of
stations reported dry or near
dry tanks, a check of dealers in
dicated today.
The Situation was reported par
ticularly acute in Alexandria. Va.
with the majority of large stations
revealing they have had no gas since
Saturday.
City officials there, faced with a
shortage of gas with which to op.
crate their trucks and other vehicles
were turning to other sources fol
fuel after their regular supplier re-
ported no more gas was available.
Dealers here and in the nearby
city said they had been given nc
assurances from wholesalers as tt
when the situation might be re-
lieved.
No Supply Assured.
Typical was the report from a
large retailer in Southwest Wash
ington. He said he had only 15C
gallons on hand at noon, and that
this would be exhausted in a few
hours. The station does a large
business with delivery trucks.
Wholesalers tell us they will try
to get us some more, but that's as
far as they can CO." another dealer
who said he had been out of gas
since Saturday, asserted.
Meanwhile. the Petroleum Admin

this area, was working on the prob
lem of whether Washington's pres
ent ALLEGATION could be increased.
PAW officials said Saturday that
gasoline stocks en- route here will
relieve the present shortage. but
they warned that recurrence can be
expected.
They said the Washington short
age was only part of a general
dearth in the East and that it was
due to the failure of the area to
reduce its consumption to the
amount allocated by PAW.
