Refinery Runs Hit
New All Time High

Crude runs to stills in January,
of 1896 1000 barrels daily, estab-
hshed new record and represent
ed a gain of $4,000 barrels daily
over December. The total demand
for motor fuel was about 35 percent
greater than In January, 1913.
The yield of gasoline from crude
rose to 1856 percent and was 81
percent above the yield in January,
1913. Stocks Of finished gasoline in
creased 5,526, 900 barrels to a total
of 70, 49O, 900 barrels on Jan. 81, but
were about 100000 barrels below
Jan. 81, 1943. In view Of the rapidly
expanding war demands for motor
fuel, total demands in 1914 may
well exceed all previous records.

Move 10 Free Banks
I0f Bad Check Liability
Protested by Bell

Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee yesterday re-
celved a protest from Daniel w. Bell
Undersecretary of the Treasury
against the proposed amendment to
the District code to make the issuer
of fradulently drawn and cashed
check-the Government or other
employer-responsible instead of the
bank honoring the check.
Referring to the Stitely case, in
which several Washington banks
were held liable for cashing checks
fraudulently drawn against the
Government on the basis of ficticlous
payrolls, Mr.. Bell reported admin
istrative practices have been cor
rected since that event and that
further corrective steps are under
study.
The bill, recently reported favor
ably by a subcommittee headed by
Representative Lesinski, Democrat
OF Michigan, is to be considered
by the District Committee at ses-
sion tomorrow morning. The SUBJ
committee was persuaded approval
Of the protective legislation would
facilitate cashing of Government
pay checks and keep Government
departments on the alert against
fraud.
"A fair way to put it," said Mr.
Bell, lis that both the Government
and the banks contributed to some
Evening star., 1944-03-07

degree to the losses incurred in the
Stitely and similar cases.
THE Government may not have
been as careful as it might have
been in its administrative proctices,
but neither can it be said that the
banks were free from fault.
'The real remedy lies in the hands
Of the parties themselves. 1 under
stand the situation which gave rise
to the Stitely case has been ad-
ministratively corrected. Futher-
more, the Bureau of the Budget,
the Treasury and the General Ac-
counting Office are engaged in a
general study of the Government
payroll procedure with a view to-
ward improving existing practices.
IT feel sure the banks and others
who cash checks in the District
have been increasingly vigilant in
properly identifying indorsers. That
is the proper way to meet the situ-
alton"
