The war production board Fri

iTaanuiiuii resioiea 10 normal,
effective Saturday, because in
creased shipments of fuel "oil to
the Pacific northwest have
filled available storage facilities
The - northwestern states have
been -operating under a 50 per
cent cut in deliveries for, heating
nd ," cooling purposes - since May
15.
i Removal of the limitation is
designed to permit cenaamera
to mil. their own .storage, tanks
while. an ample. supply of fuel
oil H available.". WPB said. ; : ;
The, one-third reduction in gas
oline . deliveries in , Oregon and
'Washington, in effect since April
10, was not changed.
WPB said the
prohibition
against use of fuel oil for coal
spraying and for use in any heat
ing or cooling equipment installed
ju'nce.. April 1 13, ;. 1942, would re
main jn effect in Washington and
Oregon as well as in other areas
designated by WPB. -
Ralph - K. Da vies, deputy pe
troleum coordinator, in a separate
statement, urged consumers in the
two states to operate fuel-oil
burning equipment "as though, the
50 per cent restriction "were still
In effect? . - :
He said normal delivery had
been restored, not f because the
northwest had all the oil it needed,
but to take advantage of all avail
able " storage . space "to provide
aeeridevelopments.M
"At the present time, suf f i-,
: cient tankers are' available to fill
the fuel yu storage, tanks, he,
-. said. ,"Bui Jhls does not mean
that the: tankers will continue"
to be available. At any moment,
they may xaln bo called Into"

"If the public does not cooper ?
ate with the oilcompanies, it may
be difficult to get through without
hardship ; next winter. The office
of pefroleum coordinator for. war
has requested all oil companies
to keep their bulk storage tanks
ot the present maximum levels.
This is the only way in which we
can hope to meet the problem of
fuel oil for northwest homes and

Fierce fighting broke out Fri
day between British and axis
desert forces on the Mediter-.
ranean rim west -of El Ala
mein in a renewal of the bat
tle for Egypt which had been
bogged down in an ' uneasy
lull for more' than a week-

RAF. and American planes were
reported to have destroyed or dis
abled 400 to 500 akis vehicles out
of a concentration , of 2000 .7 shut
tling; forward; to. replenish Field
Marshal Erwin - Rommel's thrust
toward Alexandria, 70 miles from
the front. . . ; . . v '
The fighting ended' a deadlock
of several days during which both
exhausted armies jdug , in under
severe .1 sandstorms . and -awaited
supplies and reinforcements.
- Dispatches from the : front
gave no hint of the trend of the
great struggle, bat -did say that
, axis . apparently , had not made
any additional gains eastward.
Rommel's German - Italian le
gions already had been compelled
to withdraw part of his curved
back right- wing northward to
ward the sea before Friday's
fighting was resumed.
Huge four-motored bombers of
the US air force were reported
attacking r enemy shipping" in the
sealanes while the RAF concen
trated on axis land lines. '
Besides the 400 to 500 vehicles
caught in one huge camp the RAF
was said to have destroyed 55 oth
er trucks?. ,
The American fliers using Con
solidated " (Liberator) bombers,
attacked shipping hi the' Mediter
ranean in daylight Thursday.' The
results were not announced.
