Established 1N Washington, Near Tenth G G GASOLINE CONTROL OR RESTRICTIONS ON MOTORS URGED Washington, April 28. (I. N. S.) With reserve supplies of gasoline greatly depleted and with the reserve supply of crude oil sufficient but for six weeks, government officials are considering means of controlling the supply of gasoline or limiting the use of motor vehicles, it was learned today. The bureau of mines is now engaged in collecting data on the production and, consumption of gasoline as a basis for recommendations for the conservation of gasoline. ' REMEDIES ARE SUGGESTED One remedy which has been suggested is the allocation of available gasoline under government supervision and an other plan has been advanced for re strictions upon the use of motor vehi cles in order that a sufficient supply of gasoline may be assured for necessary uses. Information collected by the bureau of mines indicates that the gasoline short age, which Is acute throughout the coun try, is due in a considerable degree to the attempts of foreign interests to cor ner the world's supply of crude oil. 8IJPPLT IS REDUCED Money borrowed by foreign Interests in the United States at 5 and 6 per cent interest has been used to acquire avail able oil lands throughout the world. This movement has reduced the oil and gaso line supplies in the United States. Demand for gasoline is now at the highest point it has ever been. To in crease the stringencies of the situation and making the demand more acute, the bureau of mines has found that the quality of gasoline has rapidly deteri orated since 1915.
