Gil announced that PIWC's commit
tee on petroleum economics, after
thorough study of the nations pc
troleum supply problems, found
that "the whole country is now on
a uniform rationing basis and
neither the countrywide stocks nor
the outlook for military demand af-
ford any basis for urging relax

Robert E. Wilson, chairman of
the committee on Petroleum eco
Monies, reported that in spite of
the rationing program which has
prevailed during the past year, total
nationwide gasoline S stock s are
about 100000 barrels lower than
a year ago and stocks available for
civilian use are even farther below
those of year ago.

Discoveries
Boost Output

CASPER, Wyo.-New oil dis
coveries in Wyoming contributed
about 40ss of the 800 million bar
rels which this state added to the
nations crude reserves during 1913.
In addition to the impetus given
the black oil fields in the Big
Horn Basin and elsewhere in the
state by the recent price increase,
new discoveries were made in the
Gebo, Oregon and Frannie fields
and are estimated to have added
about 500 acres TO the proven oil
land of the state and to have es-
tablished oil reserves totaling APP
proximately z million barrels.
During 1913 old oil fields were
extended at least 5000 acres, add
ing about 100 million barrels to
known reserves.
