Two Moves To Ease Shortage Of Oil Supply
Washington Jan 30 A twin move to ease oil shortages was announced by Secretary Harriman. Exports of oil and gasoline will fall from 11 850 000 to 9 650 000 barrels for the first quarter, while the steel industry must prioritize petroleum, freight cars, farm machinery and home building under voluntary allocations. A third export quota cut is noted, with Japan and Ryukyus earmarked for 1 000 000 barrels from the 1 600 000. A steel scrap drive will also be launched and a production focused program outlined for more oil related equipment and transportation items.
