while American medium bombers
hit Velzen, Holland, to establish the

Today's triple punch with diver

The incendiaries were dropped

Ralph K. Davies pointed out that
965, ,582 barrels a day were brought
to the Atlantic Seaboard in tank
cars last week-an all-time high.
Concerning pipe lines, Mr.. Davies
said:
"The extensive program of con-
version, reversal and relocation of
lines has been practically completed.
with the exception of one line from
Steubenville, Ohio, to Philadelphia,
Pa, to be placed in operation about
June /, which will increase deliv-
cries into District / by approximately
$4,000 barrels per day. We can ex-
pect no further increase in pipeline
deliveries until the completion to
the East Coast of the 24-inch crude
line the latter part of the summer.
A portion of this line is now in
operation from the Texas oil fields
to Illinois and the advantage is
reflected in the increased tank car
deliveries to District l occasioned
by the shorter haul from the ILL
nois terminus.
The second big line Of 20-inch
diameter from the Southwest is now
being constructed. but even partial
benefit will not be had from this
facility until the fall of this year."

day-for the use OF the Army and
Navy, and for our allies. I wish that
I might reveal the amount of crude
oil that we are moving every day in
order that Eastern refineries may
turn out war products in the enor-
nous amounts that are required.
IF I could, no one would wonder
why 1t is that, even with the over
land movement now being accom-
plished in record-breaking volumes,
we still do not have enough to sup
ply comfortable amounts for civilian
use.
Won't Delay Announcement.
"As I have said on many occa-
sions before, whenever-or if ever
during the war-we are able to build
up our petroleum supplies to the
point where we can make more lib
eral amounts available for civilian
consumption, we shall not lose a
minute in Announcing that fact.
And none will derive greater pleas
ure therefrom than the Petroleum
Administration.
But, as OF today, all that I can
do is to appeal-as I have on many
occasions before-for the most earn
est kind OF cooperation from the
public in holding gasoline consump-
tion to the minimum. Frequently
in the past appeals in the public
interest have been disregarded by
too manyD Consumption of gaso-
line is not being held to that mini
mum as of today; and I have stated
to the Office of Price Administration,
which is responsible for rationing,
If consumption is not brought down
within the allotment figure that I
have given, we shall inevitably ex-
haust our small remaining supplies
IN many places.
ANY such exhaustion of our easo-
line supplies would have a paralyz-
ing effect upon industrial and agri-
cultural operations, essential civil
Ian activity and-most important fo
an-would constitute an intolerable
interference with the prosecution of
the war.
we nave just so much transpor-
tation-and it is not enough. We
can either supply all of the petrol
cum products which we civilians
would like to have. or we can supply
all that our armed forces need. We
cannot do both. That is why 1 say
that civilian gasoline consumption
cannot continue at the present rate
or we may have a transportation
breakdown.
1T is frequently said that the
American public will make any sac
rif1ce necessary if it is shown the
reason. I believe that the reason
is amply evident in this instance.
I, therefore, hope that cooperation
Will be forthcoming, at once; that
the motoring public, including the
operators Of trucks and buses, will
demonstrate its patriotism in prac-
tical terms that will mean much
more than any merely vocal express
SION OF loyalty"

Lansing Bus Drivers
Vote 10 End Strike
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LANSING, Mich, May 15.-Strik-
ing bus drivers of the Intercity
Coach Lines voted tonight to return
to work tomorrow morning, ending
a tieup of public transportation in
this war production city.
Charles Furst, president of Local
1898 OF the Amalgamated Associa-
ton Of Street, Electric Railway and
Motor Coach Employees (AFL), said
the decision to return to work was
unanimous.
Agreement to end the tieup, which
began this morning, came after a
day-long conference of union off,
cials, State Labor Mediation Board
members and representatives of the
Army. A spokesman agreed to
await regional War Labor Board
action on a union petition for a
wage adjustment.

Gasoline
Continued From First Page.)

Of gasoline rationing in the East,
Mr.. Brown estimated that the re-
stricted allotments cut driving 60
per cent, adding that passenger cars
IN the II Eastern States and the
District now are using an average
OF 100000 barrels of gasoline a day
less than a year ago. He estimated
that the average driving Of these
cars has been cut from II 900 to $500
miles per year.
Expire July Fl Except in East.
Except in Eastern States, the A
books will expire July 21. In the
East. the books will last longer be-
cause OPA directed that AS cou-
pons must last for four months in
stead of two as elsewhere. When
the Fasteners A book expires will
depend on how long he is required
to make the AS coupons last. These
become valid July % in the East.
OPA said Fasteners would be per-
mitted to renew A books by mail,
at some later date, but that the
arrangements might not be exactly
the same as those being instituted
now for the rest of the country.
These plans call for distribution
to service stations about June % of
renewal application forms. After
getting one, the motorist need only
fill it out and mail it to his ration
board with the signed back cover of
his present A book and his current
tire inspection record showing that
proper inspections have been made.
Boards will begin processing
these applications as soon as they
start coming in." OPA said, $50 that
all new A books should be mailed
out and in the hands Of motorists
before July 81. However, to be sure
Of getting new A book by the time
the old one expires motorists should
act promptly In filing their appnca-
tions."
Motorcyclists outside the East will
follow the same procedure. Those
in the East, however, will have to
write or visit their ration boards for
an application blank. OPA said
there were so few motorcycles In
the Eastern area that it would be
uneconomic to distribute application
blanks generally to filling stations.
Says Chaos Would Result.
Mr.. IckeS, asserting that the East
could not continue to run on the
present basis, added: If we at
tempted to do so we would drain our
storage completely dry, and the
chaos that would result is beyond
imagination"
At the beginning Of April, he
cited, the American Petroleum In
stitute's index of available stocks
stood at sos per cent Of normal.
This index has declined week by
week to 2S.8 per cent, to 26.S and
finally, last week. to only 25.5 per
cent.
Surely" said Mr.. 1ckes, these
facts speak for themselves. This
decline has taken place in spite of
the fact that the overland move
ment of petroleum and petroleum
products has increased with virtually
every passing week." The admin
istrator added:

The second point that was not
clear, the spokesman said, was
whether the order excluded WLB
approval of portal-to-portal pay for
the miners, should that concession
be made in resumed negotiations.
The miners understand, the
spokesman continued, that applica-
ton OF the six-day week would put
a seasonal strain on large percent
age Of the Nations bituminous
mines and might result in the opera
tors inability to meet production
costs without some form of Govern

their driving licenses and other
identification cards. In addition
to the name of the individual to
whom the certificate was issued.
each award carries a statement
OF the total mileage and the Pc
rlod OF time over which the rec
ord was established.
In order to qualify for an Engi-
neer Safe-Driving award, an En-
gineer employe must operate a
government automobile or truck
for period of one year or more
without preventable accident.
The District Safe-Driving record
is held by Thomas Jacobs, Motor
Vehicle dispatcher for the auto
mobile pool maintained by the
District office, who has an un-
equalled record of seven years of
continuous driving without a pre-
ventable accident. Jacobs did not
receive a District Award yester-
day, however, due to the fact that
his present duties as Motor We
hicle Dispatcher do not require
extensive driving, and one of the
rigid rules governing the Safe
Driving award is that eligible en-
ployes operate their respective We
hicles continuously over twelve
month work period without lapse
of IA days between periods of op-
Grafton. Jacobs duties as dis
patcher do not involve as much
actual driving time as formerly,
it was stated.
The Individual mileage records
of the men receiving awards are
as follows: Luther B. Ellers, 34,-
45l miles during a period of one
year; Jesse B. Jones, 26, 1858 miles
in two years; Cecil W. Henderson,
$4,000 miles in a period of two
years; Odell Y. Sellers, 21,OOO
miles in one year; and Paul
Koonee, 3o,153 miles in one year.
