Oil Committee, Ending
Season, Urges Public
To Fill Tanks al Once
The Districts Fuel Oil co-ordinat-

The Districts Fuel Oil Co-ordinat-
ing Committee. concluding Its opera
tions for the season, today recon-
mended that users of fuel oil fill
their tanks Immediately for the next
winter season.
In its final report to the Com
missioners, the committee said i'm
mediate filling of home tanks will
materially increase the city's storage
capacity. The committee also rec
commended installation of additional
fuel oil tanks where space and funds
are available.
The committee praised the man
ner in which the oil industry, con-
sumers, Government agencies and
nearby Maryland and Virginia police
forces co-operated to meet common
problems during last winters tight
fuel shortage.
Service Called Invaluable.
In q telegram to the Oil Industry
Information Committee, j. Thomas
Kennedy, committee chairman, said
local representatives of indsutry
have rendered invaluable service to
this committee during the past two
months"
Tens of thousands of hardship
cases were handled by the commit
tee, the Commissioners were told.
1t approved for delivery more than
100000 gallons Of fuel oil and
more than 77,000 gallons OF kero-
sene.
Members of the co-ordinating
committee were Mr.. Kennedy, Will
liam H. Press, executive secretary
of the Washington Board of Trade,
and Charles C. Koones, realtor.
Oil Outlook Held Roster.
Earlier oficial reports had said
reports of the National Petroleum
Council and the American Petro-
leum Institute indicated that the
Nations outlook for ample gaso-
line and other petroleum sup
plies is much roster for the next
year than was believed possible last
winter.
BY exercising common sense in
the use of gasoline. and barring un-
forseen complications, the Nation
should avoid the rationing that was
predicted earlier and should have
adequate stocks to meet a normal
demand. in the opinion of James v.
Brown, secretary-treasurer of the
National Petroleum Council.
The optimistic note was struck by
the American Petroleum Institutes
survey of production estimates for
the year ending March 81. 1949.

Stock Market Slows
|After Brisk Start;
Prices Irregular
By T. {. Apologize
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, April 20-The stock
market slowed down after a fast
start today, developing wide irregu-
larity.
Profit taking reduced or elimi-
mated early gains which had pushed
several railroad, oil and other
selected issues to new highs for the
year or longer. Advances and de-
clines were limited largely to frac-
tions and well scattered near the
fourth hour.
Size of the anti-Communist vote
in Italy was regarded as an en-
couraging factor. Wall Street also
paid close attention to the imposi-
ton of fines on John L. Lewis and
the miners union, seeking an indica-
ton of the possible resumption of
full-scale coal output.
Commission houses pointed out
that many stocks were technically
Vulnerable after the almost unin-
terrupted recent advance.

UAW Board Meeting
To Stamp Approval
On ChrysIer Strike
BY the Assesictsd Prsss

DETROIT, April 2o.-Amid reports
of a drastic slash in the union de<
mand, the CIO United Auto Workers
Executive Board met today TO stamp
its approval on a strike by 5000
Chrysler Corp. employees.
The boards approval was the last
remaining union barrier in the way
Of sanctioned" walkout. All legal
requirements have been met but ne
strike date has been set.
As the board members convened In
special session, there were uncon-
firmed reports that the UAW had
dropped its wage demand against
Chrysler from 80 to 1914 cents an
hour.
Offer Was Rejected.
Company negotiators insisted on
such a cut, according to these re-
ports, before making their offer Of .
Scent raise last Friday night.
The offer was rejected Saturday
by union delegates from 13 Chrysler
plants, who asked the Executive
Board to authorize strike.
Federal conciliators intervened in
the dispute yesterday for the first
time since negotiations started Feb
ruary 81.
Neither they nor the company
or union representatives would con-
firm the reports of lowered union
demands.
Conciliator Leo Kotin did say,
however, that different figures
have been thrown around at ne
gotiating sessions.
Parties Hold Position.
The meeting lasted two and q
half hours and Mr.. Kotin said there
was mo change in the parties po-
sitions'
Conciliators said no further cons
ferences were scheduled but both
parties will remain on call.
The 1871 cent figure IS the sams
on with which the UAW settled
four month strike with General Mo-
tors Corp. two years ago. The union
now is asking GIN for a 25-cent
hourly raise, of which 10 cents
could be used to finance pension
plan.
Industry-wide demands for pen
sion and insurance plans and longer
vacations boosted the total demand
against Chrysler to the equivalent
Of at least IS cents an hour.
