Oil Shortage
This Winter
Senote Committee
Hears Stocks to Be
Half Lost Years

An imminent shortage in fuel oil
and other petroleum products, which
may cause q pinch in the Wash
ington area this winter, was re-
f1ected today in a suggestion that
Government = owned tankers be
pressed into service.
Suggesting that the Maritime
Commission be authorized to put
the tankers into condition "for short
term charter where sales cannot be
consummated promptly" the Ma
tional Petroleum Councils Commit
tee on Supplies and Availability said
the Atlantic Seaboard is threatened
with a serious petroleum shortage.
Washington suppliers and dealers
said the situation had not crystal
lied sufficiently to determine how
hard the area will be hit, but many
were agreed that the most likely
shortage now was in No. 6. or
heavy oil, used to heat large apart
ment houses and buildings.
Federal Supply Promised.
Most Government buildings also
use this type oil, but a spokesman
for the Federal Bureau of Supply
said it had assurance of a constant
supply from the Navy, which is the
heaviest consumer of No. 6 oil.
In New York, Mayor O'Dwyer's
Emergency Fuel Committee pre-
dicted a shortage of from 10 to
1S mar rant IL, f,,e1 oil tbic Sr,i,,t er
and the public was urged to con-
serve in order to avert a serious
situation.
Five dealers appearing before q
Senate Small Business Subcommit-
tee investigating the oil situation
said they expected no more than so
per cent of the stocks they distrih-
uted last year. One New Jersey re-
taller said many persons would be
unable to heat their homes in the
event of cold snap.
F. M. O'Connor of the Connoil
Corp, New York, told the subcom-
mittee that part of the shortage
could be attributed to 100000 neS
oil heaters installed in homes since
last year.
Orders Being Met Here.
Washington dealers. supplied for
the most part by Baltimore re-
flneries, have been operating on an
ALLEGATION basis since September 80,
but so far have been able to meet
all orders, survey indicated.
Most of the dealers were optimistic
about the winter supply, but ad-
mitted there was no certainty that
the steady flow would be assured
unless steps were taken. Like other
places, demand here has been un-
usually high. One large company
has warned customers in newspaper
advertisements that 1t will be wise
to conserve now.
The report of the Committee ON
Petroleum Supplies and Availability
estimated that Atlantic Seaboard
stocks are 100000 barrels lower
than they we're this time last year.
The Seaboard uses 100000 barrels
daily.
Only U. S. Tankers Idle.
The committee added that the
only tankers now not in use are
those owned by the Government,
awaiting sale, reconditioning and
repair.
Repairs are deferred pending
sales, which have been slow. the
committee added, in urging that the
Government put them into service.
Another committee, that on Pc
troleum Tanker Transportation, said
that on October l there were 1877
tankers in the tieup.
only the immediate placing in
operation of vessels now in tieup
will alleviate the present stringent
situation" it concluded.

Spray Mosquito SWamps

Mosquitoes are effectively con.
trolled by DOT. According to a de-
partment of agriculture report,
"the most reliable method Of apply.
ing larvicides over a wide range OF
conditions is by means Of spray
ers." The wet, swampy mosquito
breeding areas should be sprayed.
Much relief can be obtained around

light. Any good sprayer Ear be used

Nisem utegnil odgovoriti, ko

til, da njegov nacin ne velja;
kajti med dvema udaroma Mix
dar ne mine ista doba, ne glede
ma to, da bi bilo utrudljivo delo,

Ia merjenje casa je prav edi-
no to, kar traja vedno isto, ena-
ko dobo. Nihce namrec ne bi S

Davno re SO ljudje zaceli raz-

To je res. Zato so tudi zaceli
