100 -Octane Gasoline Proclaimed No.l War Need
Cooperating In the vital problem of expediting 100-octane gasoline
production are these five gentlemen, brought together at a recent meeting
attended by Army and Navy representatives and oil company executives.
Left to right, they are Capt. Hector C. Grlswold, U.S.N. R.; L. F. Bayer,
Vice-President, Tide Water Associated Oil Company; Rear Admiral Henry
F. Bruns, Corps of Civil Engineers, U.S.N.; Brig. Gen. Russell E. Randall,
Commanding General 4th Fighter Command of the 4th Air Forces; and
T. 0. Edwards, Jr., Superintendent of Assoclated's Avon Refinery where
a large catalytic cracking plant is now under construction, for a substan
tial addition to present H,:: octane capacity.
100-octane gasoline h" L:en made the No. 1 Item of war priorities,
taking precedence even c . . : aeroplanes and ships. Although the oil
Industry has stepped up its output to an amazing peak, it Is vitally Impor
tant that still greater quantities be supplied to the fighting fronts where
ths demand Is tremendous, according to Admiral Bruns. To accomplish
this, the Army and Navy together with the Petroleum Administration for
War have Instituted a double-barreled program designed to secure maxi
mum production f i c m existing octane plant and to speed up eonstrueiieci
ef new units.
