Aviation Gas Supply Low Amid Airline Flight Reductions
A near end to an oil industry strike failed to prevent a serious aviation gasoline shortage as major airlines cut flights. The industry sought decontrol of aviation fuel from Secretary of the Interior Chapman, while the Air Force reportedly opposes this move. American Airlines canceled 42 flights and planned more, with Pan American and United also trimming service. Gasoline restrictions for autos and kerosene were lifted, and refinery settlements brought 35,000 workers back to work among about 90,000 on strike.
