Plan for Control of Oil Announced
The New York oil industry through the National Petroleum War Service Committee pledges voluntary self regulation of prices, premiums, and crude oil movement to avoid direct government supervision. The plan, effective until Nov 1 and extendable with approval, requires conciliation committees for contract diversions and reports to the national committee. Adherence is voluntary though fuel administration officials warn of potential government intervention if prices fail to stabilize.
