New TOLUENE PLANT

Without spending time on open
ing ceremonies. a new $1,000, 900
unit at one of The Texas Co.'s re-
fineries in the Chicago area began
to make large quantities of toluene,
the basic ingredient of TINT, as
soon as the unit was completed
recently under an army ordnance
contract. The raw material used is
a "cut" from straight-run motor
gasoline manufactured elsewhere in
the refinery. Extraction of the
toluene is difficult and costly. The
water-white. harmless looking fin
ished product is converted into
INT (trinitrotoluene) in other
plants.

Gasoline A||otments
For Farms Ordered
Agricultural Uses Given
Priority on Supplies

An early end to the gasoline
troubles of Maryland and Virginia
farmers was in prospect today with
the report that area managers of
the Petroleum Administration for
War in the East have been instructed
to hold back enough fuel for the use
OF farmers.
In his weekly radio broadcast from
Baltimore yesterday, Senator Tyd-
ngs, Democrat of MARYLAND. said
he had been advised of this order
by the PWA, which also has ordered
that extra allotments of gasoline
be given area managers if they do
not have sufficient quantities to
serve all farm requirements.
The PWA, he said. wishes to set
up a reserve fund which farmers
can draw on for farming purposes.
This gasoline can be used by no
other group, and only by farmers
for plowing and cultivating.
One large Virginia distributing
company that serves farmers in four
counties, reported supplies were in
sufficient to begin regular deliveries.
but added that an allotment was
expected later today.
This company said checks are be-
ing kept on all deliveries and that
in no case is gasoline permitted
to go for other than on the farm
purposes. Allotments during the
emergency will be made on the basis
OF actual needs of farmers for culti-
vation, it was said.

darkness of other days and have
seen the dawn come again"
