A unexpected increase in military demands for both ocean tankers and railroad tank cars has caused sharp reduction in amounts of do- mestic fuel oil and kerosene being brought into New England, State Fuel Administrator Seth w. Darley said today, with the result that supplies will be less than anticipat- ed during Dece Noer and possibly into the early part of 1945.
 Reviewing series of recent de- velopmentS, MT. Darley said that the petroleum industry was advised by the Petroleum Administration for War about 10 days ago that criti- cal transportation situation had arisen and asked to keep all tank cars on 24-hour, 7-day week basis.
 This week, the Oil Heat Institute, meeting in New York, was informed by c. D. Collins, PAW director in the northeast district, that there is every reason to believe this is no Short-term crisis"
 The Office of Price Administra- tion has stated that fuel oil ra- tioning will have to be continued until the end of the war with Ger many, possibly until the end of the war with Japan.
 On November 20 it was announced by PAW that shipment of kerosene in steel drums in freight cars has

been resumed to supply New Eng land. This method of shipment, Mfr Darley said, is much more expensive than shipment by tank car and this announcement, in itself, is indica- tive of the seroillsness of the tank car shortage.
 The industry has also reported an increased demand from civilian users as compared to a year ago.
 The fuel oil picture up until the last few days has been much bright CT than the coal outlook" MT. Dar- ley said. Forecasts were always subject to the demands of the armed forces, however, and now such de- mand has arisen. It is too early to say how seriously we will be affect ed, but we can expect that our fuel oil and gerosene supplies will be tight during December and may continue light 'nto the early part of 1945. Conservation should be prac- ticed all along the line. No oil should be burned that can possibly be saved"
