Everything considered, the Pc

Mr.. Mcdowell said two main
problems confronting the industry
were the production of 00-octaine
gasoline and production of the pc
troleum products which are used foY
synthetic rubber.
Il believe" he asserted, that the
administration In Washington has
been very lax in not telling the

the American public would take
