A plan which it la believed wfll make "gasless Sundays" unnecessary and at, the same time accomplish a necessary reduction in gasoline consumption in the New England states, has been submitted to Oil Czar Ickes in Washington by a joint committee of the New England Association of Retail Gasoline Dealers and the Massachusetts Retail Gasoline Dealers Association, according to an announcement today by Frederick H. Moore, executive secretary of both organizations. The plan, which is being submitted to Mr.

Ickes at a conference today by J. C. Richdale, vice president of the Colonial Beacon Oil Company, was drawn up after many dealer conferences attended by dealer association representatives of the six New England, states. "If accepted by Mr. Ickes," says Secretary Moore, "we feel that it will definitely eliminate gasless Sundays and still bring about the essential saving in gasoline consumption, provided that the motoring public will do its part by doing everything possible to conserve and by not wasting a gallon of gasoline at any time.

The program will also help to avoid a shortage of fuel and heating oils in the coming Fall and Mr. Moore went on to say that the plan, if accepted, will be backed up by a strong appeal to every citizen's sense of patriotic duty, made through radio, press, governmental agencies and the dealer organizations' "consumer educational program." Full details of the plan will be announced, Mr. Moore said, as soon as it has had the consideration of the Washington authorities. In the meantime the New England and Massachusetts dealer asso ciations are planning a huge dealer dinner meeting to be heid under the auspices of the Massachusetts Association at the Chamber of Com merce Building. Boston, on June 25.

At this meeting the entire oil problem will be discussed and com plete information will be given by leaders in the industry and governmental agents.

"However, they have agreed to the arrangement as a temporary measure in the interests of National Defense, and, as petroleum coordinator, I wish to express my appreciation of their cooperation in lessening, to some extent, the prospective East Coast shortage." The oil company officials participating in the conferences preceding Ickes' announcement were J.

Howard Pew, president, and Arthur E. Pew vice president, of the Sun Oil Company, and J. L. Hanna. vice president of the Standard Oil Company of California.

The tankers heretofore have been engaged in supplying the Sun Oil Company with special grades of California gasoline under a contractual arrangement between the two companies of more than 10 years' standing. Spoke Too Soon The vistor to the crowded service at a popular church was compelled to leave early, and during the sermon tried to steal quietly away. As he tiptoed down the aisle his new boots cracked like a forest in a gale. He reached the door in a state of collapse. "By Jove," he remarked to the verger, "I wouldn't do that again for a dollar." Then his face took on a mottled tint as he realized he had left his hat in the pew.

Continued from the First Page The coordinator emphasized, however, that this increase in the East Coast supply did not greatly lessen the dangers of a prospective shortage in that populous area, where he has said restrictions on civilian use of automobiles appeared "inevitable." "Many additional steps must be taken," Ickes said, "if a serious East Coast shortage is to be averted." On the intercoastal route, tlje coordinator said, the tankers involved carried approximately 168,000,000 gallons of gasoline a year, whereas in the Gulf to East Coast trade annual carrying capacity, due to the shorter haul, would be raised to approximately 373,000,000 gallons annually. Representatives of the petroleum industry have estimated the equivalent of 49 tankers were needed to erase the anticipated eastern oil deficiency. The anticipated shortage was caused by transfer of one-fifth of America's coastwise tanker fleet to British service. It was estimated the shift of the three tankers from the West Coast to the Gulf-East run would relieve the expected shortage by at least 6 percent.

In a further effort to relieve the expected East Coast shortage, representatives of all branches of the petroleum industry will gather here tomorrow, at Ickes invitation. Ickes, in announcing the prospective increase in East Coast supply said: "The diversion of these tankers to ENGAGED Loi. Pawlowski of Cambridge, graduated at Radcliffe today, A magna cum laude.
