He warned that dealers who refuse to cooperate will lose their right to dp business when the fuel oil rationing program becomes effective. All unrationed sales of fuel oil, from kerosene to the heavy grades, stopped technically at 12:01 A.M. Thursday and from then on sales are being made only under rationing regulations. The regulations, however, provide that per; sons in actual need, who were un- ible to buy oil before the dead- ine, could make purchases after October 1 if they promised to give their dealers the proper number of coupons when they are distributed.

Some dealers, because of sudden and heavy demand, when, the impending rationing program was announced, were unable to make deliveries before the deadline. In addition, some had no adequate storage facilities for oil enough to last two or three weeks and other consumers could not afford to lay out the necessary amount of money to niakt purchases for that whole period. Since Ihe deadline, reports have been received at the State OPA office that some dealers are refusing to make deliveries on tha O. basis because of ths bookkeeping Involved. The result has been that thelrcustomers face Die danger of running short of oil lefore the coupons are distributed.
