Shortage Seen for Years.
MIR. Ball expressed the view the
shortage may continue for four or
five years.
j. Thomas Kennedy, chairman OF
the local Fuel Oil Committee, and
director of weights and measures
of the District told the meeting in
the Interior Department Auditorium
that no critical shortage has yet
developed in the District, and his
committee has not been called upon
to alleviate any individual hardship
cases.
Mr.. Ball said the White House
Is expected to issue an order In a
few days directing all Federal
agencies to institute oil and gaso-
line economy programs. -
Mr.. Krug called on the public
to keep homes, office buildings,
stores, apartments, hotels and fac
tories at 68 degrees or below during
waking or working hours and not
to heat unused space.
He suggested return. wherever
possible, to wartime motor pools
and urged that automobiles and
oil burners be kept in top mechani-
cal efficiency to assure economic fuel
consumption. He asked the public
to reduce driving speeds and to cut
down on non-essential motor trips.
Conservation Seen Key.
The experts saw little chance of
an increased supply of fuel Oil ex-
cept through conservation.
Later, Mr.. Kennedy urged house
holders to conserve heating oil and
warned that failure to turn back
thermostats may find some District
home running out of fuel.
The District Fuel Oil Co-ordinat-
ing Committee was slated to meet
this afternoon with 5-man indus
try advisory committee to map plans
on the administration of fuel oil
pool to be drawn on in hardship
cases. Each supplier has been asked
to earmark 10000 gallons of No. 2
oil and 1000 gallons of No. l oil
for the pool.
Homeowners in need of oil and
unable to locate any through
regular channels would call on the
co-ordinating committee for help,
Mr.. Kennedy explained.
The industry reported today the
fuel oil situation here was fair"
but with a pinch in supplies of
kerosene. One big supplier described
the kerosene situation as very,
very tight" He blamed this on the
fact many homes, particularly
newer structures, are using space
heaters which require kerosene or
No. oil.
Bitter cold covered a wide area
from the Eastern Rockies to the
North Atlantic. While some Sec
tions of the Gulf States reported

by the, defense attorney, Chief
Harding had behind him guar
antee Of immunity from any action
which might otherwise be brought
against him as a result of his an
swers to the questions.
The Commissioners had granted
this immunity to all Fire Depart

without it, they would not feel free
to testify as to specific ineficiencies

It was the first open Hungarian
action against Hollywood produc-

Now National Chairman McGrath
is seeking to lure the President out

paratively slow train. If the Presi-
dent can find a way of eluding that

was a good party man for longer

the betting is on chairman Nc
Grath.
No Substitute to Offer.
Actually Mr.. Truman has no sub
stitute to offer the clamoring Demo-
Gratis for the personal appearances
they crave. He hates campaigning
for the simplest and best of all
reasons-he doesn't do it well. Yet
the radio reflects the same dryness
that makes him ineffective in a
great public show So fireside chats
are out.
The famous back porch he is
adding to the White House-and
he is going right ahead with it
kills another type of campaigning
that candidates who didn't care
much for talking either have used
with success. The President might
have worked the porch campaign

in small groups very successful.

Value of Leisurely Trek
A President who has been pre-
