First Crack In Gasoline Hikes Noted
In Washington, Undersecretary of the Interior Charles F. Luce said he would have no immediate comment on Continental's action as talks with oil companies continue. J. Carroll Moore noted reports of price erosion in several states, with earlier reductions in five Southeastern states. Moore described price wars in Kansas City and Wichita and Luce warned of potential government action to raise supply if prices do not fall. Possible steps include reallocating 30,000 barrels of unneeded Defense Department petroleum quotas, shifting purchases from domestic to foreign producers, and allowing more imports from Commonwealth Oil Refining Co and Hess Oil Co subsidiaries.
