SUPPLY OF FUELS
TO REMAIN TIGHT,
OWL TELLS NATION

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-RN
The Office of War Information said
tonight that coal, oil and wood
supplies for home heating will
remain tight for the next several
months.
In general, the agency said,
i1ouseholders will have approx
mately ten percent less of prefer
red coal and coke than they woulc
burn in normal times.
"In areas where alternative fuel
can be obtained, consumers will
be able to use these to supplement
their supply of scarce fuels, -
Owl continued.
"But those without any other
source of solid fuels, such as in
the Southeastern states, will find
it necessary to conserve at least
ten percent of the coal they nor
:nally consume.
The shortage of coal was at
tributed principally to shrinking
manpower" in the mines.
