(Continued From Page One) the entire Western Hemisphere, or at least by all of the United States," the report asserted. Period of Restriction The committee said that the east should not carry the full burden, but that the entire nation should en ter a period of restriction, to as sure adequate oil supplies for es sential uses. The oil n.en proposed a continuing industry committee, to aid in the program. Ickes welcomed this, but stressed that such a committee should include independents as well as the larger producers. Both the oil men and Ickes urged that oil pipe lines be run from Louisiana and Texas to the New York-Pennsylvania area to deliver petroleum to the east. The report said that a 24-inch line would move as much oil as 65 ship tankers. It would cost $70,000, 000, and would require 12 to 15 months to build. Legislation is pend ing in congress for acquisition of rights of way. The industry men said it could be done with private capital. The report explored various means to meet transportaion problems, in cluding the use of rail cars, water barges and priorities for materials needed for construction of new ships. It noted that 140 tankers now are undef construction. The oil men said the oil deficiency would be felt in the east beginning July 1 and would become progres sively more acute next autumn and in 1942, unless transportation rem edies can be found.
