The quotas, based on the 1954-56 import level, squeeze them hard. Although allocated a total of only 262,600 bbl. daily, they imported 354,600 bbl. a day in August, estimate a 337,200-bbl. rate in December.

To date, the six other companies that had been importing heavily for years and whose base-period levels are high have agreed to abide by their quotas. The six (Atlantic, Gulf, Socony, Standard of California, Jersey Standard, Texas), which imported 573,800 bbl. a day in July, plan to cut to 471,000 bbl. by December, 22,000 below the Government's request. But last week they showed signs of weakening, nervously eyed the appeals for quota boosts. Gulf Executive...
