Oil In Storage
Sinclair Urges U.S.
To Build Reserve
NEW YORK—UP>—H. F. Sinclair
chairman of the executive committee
of Consolidated Oil Corp. suggested
Tuesday that far from having an
ever-abundance of oil and gasoline
atocks available the United States
needs more in storage.
“We are using about 3000.000 bar-
rels of crude oil a day east of the
Rocky Mountains” he said. “Crude
oil in storage in this area at this
time approximates a total of 227-
000000 barrels or only about 75 days'
supply.
“It is a mistake to think of this
raw material as being piled up some-
where and about to engulf us. Many
millions of barrels are not really
available at all.”
