The defense petroleum office said eastern states will not lose gasoline tax returns due to the 10 percent curtailment program. Acting coordinator Davies predicted September gasoline sales and tax receipts would roughly match last year, noting July sales rose 11.3 percent from 1940. He cautioned future curtailment could occur and linked Britain’s Atlantic fortunes to petroleum emergencies. Railroads prepared a West east shuttle to move fuel to Atlantic states, filing with the ICC for a reduced tank car schedule.
