Commissioners Urge
NewD. {. ParkinqL Law
Congress Asked to Widen
Powers on Off-Street Plan

The Commissioners today trans
mitted 10 Congress bill to broaden
the off street parking law. OF last
year TO let them use any District
owned property for motor vehicle
parking if it is not needed immedi-
ately for other purposes.
They explained that the original
law limits the municipal parking lot
program to property acquired for
that purpose. Under this bill, if an
old school site was to be abandoned,
or if the city had property held for
some future use. it could become a
parking lot in the meantime.
Richard Murphy, director of the
seven-man Motor Vehicle Parking
Agency, explained today that no mu-
nicipal parking garages have been
established under the new law for
two reasons. First. even If suitable
sites had been selected priorities
could not be obtained to build. Sec
ond, because gasoline and tire ra-
tlonlng have left the city without a
serious parking problem downtown.
The new bill. therefore, is part OF
a postwar program the agency is
working on, based on 194l parking
problems as representing the nor
NAL demand when rationing is over
| In sending the bill to Chairman Nc
I Carran Of the Senate District Com
mittee, Commissioner Young wrote
The purpose Of the proposed bill
is TO permit the Commissioners to
establish off-street parking facilities
/ on land other than that acquired
under the Parking Facility Act and
to delegate to the Parking Agency
the duty of operating such facili-
ties
Before taking this step under the
new bill the Commissioners would be
required to seek the views of the

Commission

Cold Weather
.BringsF Fuel Oil
Crisis in D. {.
Shortage Accented
By Expiration Of
Coupon Tomorrow

A critical fuel oil situation brought
about by cold weather and the
nearness of the expiration date to-
morrow of No. coupons was re-
ported by petroleum experts OF the
District today.
With two of the major oil COM
panies completely out OF fuel and
10-degree weather forecast for to-
night, reports from some sources
indicated that many families will be
without heat.
Lester Scott, director of the oil heat
ing division of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, said he
learned on making check today
that both the Standard and Gulf Oil
companies are out OF oil and have
been for several days. Dealers de-
pendent on them for fuel have been
given no promise of immediate relief,
he reported
Oil Companies Swamped.
OH companies were swamped to-
day with requests for oil from Gus
toners who have used up all Of
their No. 3 and No. 4 coupons and
thus have none on which to rely.
Their only hope of relief was to
apply to their local rationing boards
in an effort to get additional allow
ances. To meet such an emergency,
customers who are out of oil and
have no valid coupons are permitted
to obtain 80 gallans on credit"
once during the current heating
season.
Dealers were also getting calls
from persons anxious to redeem
their No. 3 coupons which become
invalid after tomorrow.
Mr.. Scott said he had learned
there were many families entirely
out of oil at present and that many
others would be out before the day
is over. II the present cold con-
tinues for two or three days, he
added, increased consumption may
cause such a demand on dealers
that an alarming situation will de-
velop.
Many reports were received of
frozen pipes in households which
were either out of oil or had consid-
erably reduced the degree of heat.
Pipeline Work Pushed.
Meanwhile, it is announced that
the head end of the oil stream mov-
| ing through the Texas-Illinois leg
Of the 24-inch war emergency pipe
line for tank car trans-shipment to
the East Is now just south OF Norris
! City, ILL.,. and will arrive there as
soon as final equipment installations
are completed at the Norris City
tank car loading terminal.
Oil is expected TO start moving
from the pipeline to tank cars for
dispatch to the East Coast some
time next week.
Initial deliveries of crude and
light heating oils through the pipe
line will run at approximately $4,000
barrels day. This movement, &C
cording to a report from Deputy
Petroleum Administrator Ralph K
Davies, will advance steadily during
the next six or eight weeks as addi-
tional pumps and other operating
equipment are installed. Capacity
operation OF the line is expected by
April.

State Officials
Here 10 Fight
0PA Milk Plans
Seek CIorificotion
Of Order Banning
Sole of Pints

Ofncials Of State milk control
agencies from II States assembled
here today ostensibly to get in
formation and Interpolation" from
the Agriculture Department and
once of Price Administration on
recent Federal orders affecting the
milk industry, but there were indi-
cations that lines were forming for
fight against OPA plans to place
price ceiling on milk sold by milk
producers.
The officials, along with a small
group OF producers from four States,
including Virginia, were to meet
today in the Agriculture Depart
ment with officials of OPA and the
Food Distribution Administration.
Frank Stewart of Montgomery
Ala, president of the International
Association of Milk Control Agen-
cies and spokesman for the delega-
ton. maintained the meeting was
being held In order TO receive clari-
fication OF the recent FDA order
sbolishing sales OF pints and half
pints of milk at retail stores, and
the OPA announcement that it
planned shortly to freeze producer
milk prices.
Directors or members of milk con-
troll agencies from the following
States are attending the conference:
Georgia, Indiana, Florida, Alabama,
Virginia, California, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Montana, Massachu-
sets, New York and New Hamp-
shire.
Some members of the group have
been attending sessions OF the asso-
citation and the Northeastern Dairy
Conference in New York City. State
milk commissions are charged with
the control OF milk prices and see
ing to the interests of both the pro-
ducer and the consumer.
The OPA intention to freeze
wholesale milk prices already has
aroused opposition from dairymen
in this area, although the Washing
ton milkshed at this time is exempt
from the forthcoming order.
Bruce B. Derrick. secretary-treas-
urer of the Maryland and Virginia
Milk Producers Association, warned
last week that the OPA action
would result in q further milk
shortage here.
