Max Ball of the Interior DEPART

mer and fall "looks pretty good" e
He coupled this report-which Is
more optimistic than others have
been-with disclosure that he plans
to resign as director Of the depart

I'VE feel fairly confident now
that, unless the public drives reck-
lessly far and recklessly fast, there
will be no actual gasoline short
ages" Mr.. Ball told a reporter.
There may be brief spot short
ages here and there in the Midwest
due to inadequate transportation
and distribution-but nothing more
than that"
Mr.. Ball pegged his forecast to,
the condition that all goes well. He
said a coal strike would have a.
serious effect on the Nations al
ready y-dubious heating oil prospects
for next winter.
Mr.. Ball said he will quit his.
