STOCK FUEL OIL
Seattle. July 11 VP) Lifting
of the government's order which
restricted fuel oil deliveries to
Oregon and Washington consum
ers, effective today, should be
the tip-off for every household
and commercial user to stock
oil tanks as soon as possible, the
Washington state defense ooun'
cil urged today.
The war production board's
suspension of the restrictions,
announced at Washington yester
day, made no changes in the
present one-third reduction in
gasoline deliveries in the two
states, which has been in effect
since April 16. Fuel oil deliver
ies had been cut 50 per cent
since May IS.
"If people act now to 'fill 'er
up so their tanks will be full
at the end of summer," the coun-
cil said, "the companies will
gain storage space, can bring In
more tanker loads from Califor
nia, end we will be in much
better shape to face the uncer
tainties of next winter."

AIRCRAFT LABOR
TOLD WAGE RISE
Los Angeles, July 11. (IPi
The government today told lab
or that its demands for an esti
mated $125,000,000 a year pay
increases to warplane factory
workers are too high and that
migration from one Industry to
another must stop for duration
of the war.
Paul R. Porter, wage stabili
zation chief of the War Produc
tion board, told a wage stabili
zation conference of aircraft
management and labor:
"... it is the opinion of the
War Production board that the
wage increases requested are In
consistent with the seven-point
program to control the cost of
living as stated by the president
in his message to congress on
April 27.
"Wage advances to this extent
and at this time would not only
contribute to an upward spiral
in the cost of living, but would
unstabilize employe relations in
othdr war and essential indus
tries, especially on the Pacific
coast."
The AFL and CIO, in a Joint
statement, requested that cur
rent minimums of 60 cents an
hour for unskilled labor be
raised to 95 cents and that
other classifications be in
creased. Top demand was
boost for skilled workmen from
$1.52 to $1.60 an hour. The 60
cent minimum applies for a
limit of 30 days, with a five-
cent raise each of the first three
months to boost pay to 75
cents.

GRAIN PRICE EBB
Chicago, July 11 VP) Gov
ernment forecast of large 1942
wheat, rye and oats crops de
pressed prices of those cereals
today but corn rose almost
anent inasmuch as the outlook
for harvest of that grain ii not
as good.
Wheat closed H-le lower than
yesterday, July $1.19. Sep
tember S1.2214-1.22V.
Besides the crop forecast,
depressing factors in the wheat
pit included profit taking, which
shaved the week's net gains
from Monday's lows to about
5 cents, and hedging sales in
connection with the new crop
movement. Anticipation that
larger receipts in the southwest
next week might fill the small
remaining terminal and sub
terminal storage space available
also was an unsettling factor.
The government forecast of
902,228.000 bushel of wheat,
third largest on record, suggest
ed total supply, Including carry
over, will exceed 1,534,000,000
bushels, by far the largest on
record and more than double
normal annual requirements.
