Tank car movement of petroleum to
the east coast has surpassed all of-

Harold L Ickes said Friday.
He reported that tank car ship-
ments of petroleum and petroleum
products to the Atlantic seaboard dur-
ing the week ended Marell 7 reached
a new peak, averaging 435.086 bar-
rets daily, compared with a previous
record of 326.038 barrels daily estab-
lished during the week ended Feb-
ruary 21
Officials emphasized, however that
even the past week s record tank car
movement represented only slightly
more than 25 percent of total east
coast wartime requirements, which are
estimated at 1.700,006 barrels daily.

do so, Tass said.
