Some sort of oil rationing for the Midwest is necessary to keep the East from freezing. Government experts figured that the East with stern gas rationing as well as fuel-oil rationing can get by with a winter minimum of 1,400,000 barrels daily including important military requirements (this compares with a former winter use of about 1,700,000 barrels daily of which 550,000 was gasoline and 350,000 fuel oil). The total eastern supply available by current means of transportation needs to be boosted another 200,000 barrels a day to reach this minimum...
