Oil fears rise as restrictions hit auto use and heating fuel
The article notes potential impact on 19 million of 25 million U S passenger cars from possible oil restrictions and the unlikely outcome of 10 million cars going out of service. It cites estimates that 60 percent of car use is necessary driving with 20 percent on Sundays. Ickes warns current service facilities may not supply adequate oil for Baseline and house heating in the East, while a committee suggests Eastern families with oil furnaces may face chilly homes next winter. Ickes, as defense petroleum administrator, urges a petroleum conservation law to join interstate oil compact. A proposed Illinois conservation bill failed to pass, and interior officials expect renewed efforts to bring California into the compact for coordinated production among states.

Cleveland June 6 CAP Progress toward control of the common cold by vaccine sprayed into the nose rather than injected or swallowed was reported at the AMA convention. Dr. Theodore E. Walsh of St Louis said about 74 percent of patients remained free of colds over eight years after this treatment, with 10 percent not benefited.

Exemption Aim Could Halve Men in Draft Register
Senate military affairs committee is expected to back a plan that would exempt about half of the 17 million men registered for service. The proposal limits one year of training to ages 21 through 28, easing the burden on those up to 27, while deferring many born after October 6. The move, supported by Republicans and Democrats, would allow the president to call men by age groups under selective service.
