FRIDAY - SATURDAY ONLY January 30th & 31st MWOO a J, )e5iqn products 1515 Mill Street. Springfield WASHINGTON (U.PJ uutcu 10 us simplest terms, the reason for the current oil shortage is that more oil is being consumed than ever before. Oil production has not increased fast enough to meet our needs. New civilian uses and increased civilian consumption more than make up for the millions of gal lons of gasoline which poured through allied aircraft during the war and millions of gallons of oil that fueled the world's biggest navy. Government Stockpiling Does government stockpiling in anticipation of another war con tribute to the shortage? Army and Navy men say that it does not that there is no stockpilina of oil for national defense at the present time. The Army and Navy wish that they could, but. storage facili ties above and below ground are inadequate. Neither the government nor in dustry foresaw the big demand for oil that has developed since the war. Supply and demand are out of balance because: 1. Today there are some 2,700, 000 more motor vehicles on the highways than in 1941, before ra tioning.

Woods said recently he has received many complaints that landlords are turning In "phony leases on apartments where there are no tenants at all," to get the unit freed from rent control. Woods said "We have no fig ures yet on hew many cases in which this is true, but we're in- vestlgatlng." He said many such complaints have been received in various cities. Woods, testifying before a Sen-1 ate banking subcommittee, again appealed for an extension of rent control. He also urged freezing rents of tenants who signed "vol untary" 15 per cent increases last year in return for leases running through December, 1948. The present rent control law expires Feb. 29. 25 Per Cent Power Increase Predicted WASHINGTON W Recla mation.. Bureau engineers see av erage Dower rate increases of more -than 25 per cent on large proecti.'!.;lf the , House-approved Rockwell- Reclamation Bill be comes law, Rep. Carroll (D-Colo) said Thursday. . ":$:: Their figures Indicate that the feasibility of the Colodaro-Big Thompson project in Colorado and the Central Valley project in Cali fornia will be "highly question able" in such event, he added. Carroll told reporters he had obtained . Reclamation Bureau es timates which lead engineers to believe it would be impractical to build a number of other projects now contemplated. These include the Mountain Home project in Idaho, the Central Utah project and the Central Arizona project Re- ized transportation is in trucks and i buses which use more gasoline and oil than passenger cars do. I Home Heating 2. Oil heating units for homes, offices and factories increased 27 per cent in 1947 over 1946. The oil heat institute reports tat 762,887 more oil heating units were in stalled last year than the year be fore. There are now nearly 3.000, 000 heating units in operation and the end is not in sight. 3. Railroads are converting more and more from steam to diesel locomotives. The American Petro leum Institute estimates that diesel engines in 1948 will burn 70,000,000 barrels of oil. In 1941 they used only 25,000,000 barrels. Of G34 locomotives on order now only 18 or 20 are for the old-time coal-burning steam engines. ' Industrial Expansion 4. American industrial produc tion is expanding and the Ameri can Petroleum Institute estimates that this year industry will need about 17,000,000 barrels of lubri cating oil. This would be 18.8 per cent more than industry used in 1U4S. 5. Farm prosperity and the in creasing availability of powered farm machinery results in an esti mate that farmers will use 2,821, 000,000 gallons of fuels this year. This is approximately twice the farm consumption of six years ago. 6. Many tankers were destroyed during the war and due to the steel shortage have not been re placed: so that there are not enough tankers to bring oil from the gulf coast to other parts of the country. 7. The steel shortage has pre vented oil companies from drilling more wells and building more refineries.
