Lack of Steel Major Thorn In Oil Shortage
Sen. Wherry states steel is the basic factor in the current petroleum shortage likely to persist through 1948 and into 1949. He notes the small business subcommittee has heard many fuel oil complaints and that major oil firms are meeting commitments to independents as possible. The Interior official says domestic crude output is at max efficiency and extra gasoline may be sacrificed for fuel oil. The Maritime Commission plans to outline tanker use with 15 major firms to relieve shortages in the Northeast, a move urged by Rep. Wolverton.

Plan Similar to Boswell Amendment May Be Made
Alabama's Boswell amendment requiring voters to understand and explain the constitution to registrars could shape a final bid to bar Negroes from voting in the South. Georgia’s Herman Talmadge endorses such laws, arguing illiterate whites can vote while most Negroes should be kept from the polls. Negro leaders vow court challenges, saying the Boswell plan is subtler white supremacy.
