Rail Delivery Of Gas In Area Banned
Washington a Petroleum Co coordinator Harold Ickes banned railroad delivery of automobile gasoline in 20 states across the Middle West and Southwest to free tank cars for fuel oil stocks in the East. Ralph K. Davies said rationing may follow, as diverted cars would mainly aid the East’s winter fuel oil needs rather to supply gasoline. The ban covers Texas to South Dakota, with an expected 100000 extra barrels daily to the East and a pipeline adding 150000 barrels daily.
