"They firing the bollers of factories where bombs for Tokyo are production; they are getting 100-octane gasoline to the lighting fliers who will blast more ships out of the Pacific: and they are fueling the engines of the tanks that will! open a second front in Europe." declared the petroleum tor.

Soon: it resembled giant pink stick-candy, and then the good gray of finishing that permitted it to become part of 26th car of a solid trainload of the pipe, consigned to the Southwest. Ickes reiterated the hope that: the War Production Board might find it possible to allocate steel for construction of the pipe line from near Norris, Ill, its presently planned eastern terminus. to N.

and Philadelphia. But he warned this was something for the future. that the East faced probable rationing of fuel oil this winter, and that people there must realize the seriousness of the shortage by converting more oil burners to coal: burners. The. 300.000 barrels of oil scheduled to start moving through the pipe line around Dec.
