Philadelphia, April 11—(By Union
Associated Press)—The Government
will not be embarrassed for want of
fuel, according to reports which ex
perts have gathered in this State to
take to Washington. The comitig
summer promises to be the most go-,

fields of Pennsylvania and surround
ing states. Virtually every gas and
oil company as well as individual pro
ducers, will do more than ever before
in the history of the industry. The
refiners are not only rushed with or
ders for by-products of crude oil, but
have an abundance of orders for the
heavy grades of oil which is known
as fuel oil.
