PAGE SEVEN Socony-Vacuum Expands Its Output Aviation Gasoline NEW YORK, March 17-Eight of Socony -Vacuum Oil company's refineries now are equipped with facilities to use the Houdry process of catalytic refining which "substantially increases the quantity and quality of base gasoline stock which can obtained from crude for the manufacture of aviation gasoline." This is stated by John A. Brown, president of the company, in a letter to stockholders accompanying the dividend check. "At the first refinery at which the company started to make 100 octane aviation gasoline, it is estimated that the output is about greater than it would be if older methods were used." Mr. Brown says. The company is supplying the military services with special lubricants treated so as to function under extreme temperature conditions, Mr.

Brown adds, and is also constructing a large plant for the government to extract toluene from petroleum, toluene being an essential raw material in the manufacture of T.N.T. explosive. Texas Company Ups Net 64 Per Cent Lifts Crude Plane Production Fuel, NEW YORK, March 17-An increase in sales volume, together with slightly higher prices, yielded an improvement in profits for Texas Co. last year of compared with 1940. The showing, too, is in face of a charge of income of $7.000.000 for reserves for possible losses on foreign investments.

Net profits last year were equal to $4.47 a share of outstanding capital stock and compared with $2.90 in 1940. In his report to stockholders. W. S. S.

Rodgers, president, cited the full cooperation of the company with various branches of the government in the national emergency. Last year, through new facilities and improvements and additions to its existing sulphuric acid alkylation plants, the company substantially increased its capacity to manufacture high octane aviation gasoline. Additional sulphuric acid alkylation plants are now being constructed. thus increasing the company's ability to manufacture this important product of national defense. Capacity to manufacture high grade lubricants also is being increased and a plant will be constructed, under contract with the government, for the producing toluene, an important war time chemical used in the manufacture of T.N.T.

It is also anticipated that the company will supply the raw materials for the manufacture of butadiene, essential in synthetic rubber. from petroleum products. In 1941, stated Mr. Rodgers, "the company's crude oil production exceeded the production of any previous year with the exception of the peak year 1940. The reduction from 1940 was due principally to the decline of flush production in Illinois, although new discoveries in that state partially offset the allticipated normal decline.

Texas Reduces Crude Production; To Cut More AUSTIN, March 17 During the last eight days production of crude oil in Texas has declined 186.714 barrels daily to 1,295,062 barrels, it was disclosed at the state-wide proration hearing of the Railroad commission on Monday. The curtailment was well spread over the state with the sharpest reduction in the East Texas field, amounting to 68.815 barrels daily. Operators who attended the hearing anticipated further cuts in production during April and perhaps in the early summer months. The tank car movement to eastern points has increased to an extent. where it has given considerable relief in the transportation problems.

Pipe line proration in west Texas is causing much complaint on the part of independent producers, but crude purchasers have given no intimation that they plan to lift the present restrictions. Funerals MRS. NELLIE FEE Funeral services for Mrs. Nellie Fee, mother of Mrs. Lewis Haler of Bradford.

who died Sunday at her home in Olean, were held at the Fee residence at 8:30 a. m. today. A requiem mass was said at 9 a. m.

at the St. Marys of the Angels church in Olean. Burial was in the family lot in St. Bernard's cemetery, Bradford. City Buys Gas Plant INDIANAPOLIS, March -The city of Indianapolis will purchase property of the Indianapolis Gas company under an agreement just approved by the directors of the company and directors of the municipal utility.

The city thus completes its monopoly of the gas and coke business. In North Carolina, more than 600,000 acres are given over to prirate preserves.

March About 860 gallons of gasoline escaped and flowed into streets here, creating a fire hazard in an accident which occurred Sunday while motor fuel was being unloaded from A tank-truck of W. L.

Mead. Bradford, at the Kendall Refining company bulk plant. The truck, operated, by Edward Norton of Bradford, was unloading gas into a storage tank. The vehicle carried 4,600 gallons of gasoline. A passerby noticed the tank overflowing, shouting a warning to the driver sitting in the cab.

Before' the flow could be stopped a large quantity of "gas" had flowed out of the vard into the street. Two companies of firemen used hose lines to wash the gasoline into storm sewers and Chief R. H. Swanson ordered furnaces and other fires in the area extinguished to avert a major fire. A short time later a tank truck owned by the Bradford operator and operated by E.

Miller was involved in a slight fire here. The vehicle, carrying 4.080 gallons of had unloaded at the bulk plant and left the scene when, at a downtown street intersection, the driver noticed fire in the cab. Firemen, responding to an alarm, found short -circuit in the signal lighting system. Personal Notes Miss Eleanor Ferris has returned from Warren where she attended the funeral of Miss Bessie A.

"He will be the supreme commander in that region, including the Philippine islands. in accordance request of the Australian government," the communique stated. The announcement explained, in part, the lack of news from the Philippine area during the past 10 days. Successor Unknown Although the War Department was silent as to the name of the man who will now be in active command of the American-Filipino forces on Bataan, it was noted that yesterday, on, the occasion of the 140th anniversary of the founding of West Point, the greeting which the Philippine army cabled to officials at the U. S.

Military Academy was signed by Maj. Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright of MacArthur's staff. There has been no news from Bataan since MacArthur reported more than a week ago that his artillery had smashed a Japanese motor troop convoy which was heading for the front.

Australian leaders for weeks have been boosting MacArthur for the post of supreme commander in Australia to lead the long promised United Nations offensive against Japan. MacArthur's superb showing in the Philippines has gained him world wide recognition as one of the a outstanding military strategists in the entire world Scored Many Successes While other bastions around him were falling under the Japanese blitzkrieg, MacArthur time and again displayed his military genius by checking the invaders on Bataan and smashing back at them with devastating blows. The climax in the battle of Bataan came approximately two weeks ago, when the supposedly battle-weary defenders launched surprise counter offensive that drove the Japa anese back all along the front from one-half to five miles. The counter was followed by an unexpected devastating air raid by MacArthur's forces in which three Japanese troop ships were sunk in Subic Bay. Still later, the American forces dealt another heavy blow to the Japanese when their artillery smashed 29 vehicles in a 60 motor troop convoy heading for the front.

There was no indication in the communique that MacArthur intended to give up the gallant fight on Bataan nor does his departure mean abandonment of the fight. Staff Officers Brilliant MacArthur is known to have brilliant staff officers trained under him who are expected to use his tactics in keeping the Japanese at bay in the Philippines. The appointment of supreme commander brings another climax in MacArthur's life which has been crowded with thrills almost since the day he was born. Since the day when he was graduated from West Point, MacArthur has been a military figure in the history of the Philippines. As a second lieutenant.

MacArthur went to the Philippines shortly after the turn of the century to serve under his father, Gen. Arthur MacAarthur, who at that time was military governor of the Commonwealth. Even in those days he apparently realized the strategic value of the Philippines and began a study of the terrain which later was called upon to protect against the Japanese invaders.
