 tioning throughout the country. A coupons in the east now are worth an average of IF gallons a week compared with four gallons else | where.
 The petroleum industry war coun- Gil also said enough gasoline could be saved to lift the eastern pleasure driving ban, if the black market in gas coupons were eliminated and if more effective controls were eXer- cised over the issuance of gasoline ration coupons.
 According to officials of the pe- troleum administration for war, the industry leaders stand on the na- tional equalization of gasoline ra- tioning is feasible and is in accord ing with what the PAW continually has reiterated: That as transpor- tation continues to improve, more oil can be hauled from the midwest into the shortage area, and there fore the time may come when the degree of rationing can be bal anced throughout the country"
 Regarding the question Of lifting the east coast pleasure driving ban, Deputy Petroleum Administrator Ralph K. Davies expressed the opinion that he never believed such a ban could be imposed indefin- itely.
 Control of Coupons
 "The physiological effect of it wears off," he said. Tt is not a form of control that can be inn posed indefinitely. The only really effective check on civilian gasoline consumption is, rather, a control of the ration coupons themselves"
 Other oil developments included:
 l. Byrnes met late yesterday with officials of ODT, PAW, OPA and WIPE to begin his oil investigation.
 2. President Roosevelt conferred with Secretary of Navy Frank Knox, Undersecretary of War Robert P. Patterson, and Secretary of State Cordell Hull and others to discuss foreign petroleum reserves. It is believed that they are looking for foreign oilfields which could be used to save transportation and oil supplies at home.
 3. The first line-filling batch of Texas crude oil started flowing through the "big inch" pipeline, east coast bound from Norris City, III. An initial rate of 100000 barrels is being pumped through the 24-inch line, but it's maximum capacity of 100000 barrels a day will not be reached for several weeks.
 4. The PAW extended to farm CTS in all states: the privilege of first call on available gasoline sup plies previously enjoyed by farmers in the 17-state east coast shortage area only.
 5. Announcement that more than 300 tank cars have been released for east coast service by IA southwest ern railroads.
 6. Tank-car loading broke all rec ords with a total of 1,017,029 bar rels per day in the week ending July 10. This is an increase of 56,667 barrels daily from the previous week.
 2. The first of 100 new tugboats in the S75,O00,0O0 barge, tugboat and towboat-building program now is en route from Boston to the Gulf coast. The program is expected to increase the amount of oil carried over wa terways by 100000 barrels daily when completed.

 Latest reports indicated that the British Eighth Army under Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery was only 15 miles south of the Port of Catania, Sicily's largest city, while the American Seventh Army under Lieut.. Gen. George s. Pattan, Jr., was believed only few miles from Agrigento, 25 miles west of Licata, and nearby Porto Empedocle.
 There is reason to believe, in- formants said. that the entire southeastern plateau between Syra- cuse and Gela was in Allied hands.
 The only serious opposition to the Allied advance is being offered at the extreme Hanks, in the neigh borhood of Catania and Agrigento themselves.
