From end to end of the Atlantic seaboard the problem of gasoline and fuel oil supplies has become a sore spot kept tender by repeated pressure of questions. War Mobilization Director James F. Byrnes promised yesterday to survey the situation and make public his findings and his decisions.

Production Fell Short in June Throe-Fif th of Arniv IVeeds For Year Remain Filled, Patterson to Be Save WASHINGTON. July 15 June production for the Army "fell substantially below schedule for the second consecutive month." Acting Secretary of War Robert P.

Pat-erson announced today. 'Production for the second six months of the vpar must hp rnrwirl- erablv increased over that of the I first six months in order to carry out the 1943 time-table of military' he reported. Approximatelv three-fifths of over-all Army supply requirements for 1943. including aircraft, remained to be met, he said. The total of planes manufactured in June was only slightly above May and was below schedule, Patterson said.

The average weight oi planes Greater shortage een In Wake of Of Next Fair Few Supply Months CHICAGO. July 15 fTFV More roast beef and steaks will be available to civilians and the armed forces over the next few months, P. O. Wilson, secretary of the National Live Stock Producers Association, asserted today. But the question worrying cattle men.

Wilson added, was the prospect beyond that period whether enough cattle would be placed in ieea 1015 inrougnoui me corn Deit to produce, the steaks which will be wanted this winter and next year. Wilson, commenting on news dispatches from Washington saying the OPA was developing a plan to bring about an increase in meat rations, said the price-fixing agency "cannot prevent beef supplies from expanding, even if it wanted to." Sees Forced Selling "The claim of the OPA that it is developing a plan to increase supplies Is simply an effort to tatce credit for the normal expansion in receipts which occurs from mid-July until the end of the year." Wilson explained that beginning in mid-July cattle which have been fed on grass in the western ranges start coming to market, and this movement continues through No- vember, before frosts kill the grass. This year, he said, there also may be some forced selling of cattle from midwestern feed-lots because of the difficulty involved in obtaining corn. Ceiling Talk Discouraging "The big question." Wilson said. ls netner ieeaers are going to Place enough young cattle in their us "CCi auu 80ing to encourage them in that job." Wilson said many cattle coming off western ranges normally go to feed-lots in the corn belt for further fattening, thus increasing the beef supply.

"What we should be i. iiuiuuiis about," Wilson said, "is not the beef supply over the next two or three months, but over the next 12 months and more." i i i Rufus Hill Succumbs After Long Illness Rufus Hill, 52 years old. of is Cathedral Avenue. Clavmont. vet- r'" oi me rirfi.

Reynolds (D-NC? of the Senate mili- tary committee who declared the I Army is growing to a size where its drain on civilian workers ought; to halt soon. Reynolds predicted in an inter- view that sponsors of the Austin- Wadsworth manpower bill would demand action on the measure soon after Congress returns from its summer recess, but he said there would be.

a strenuous fight to squelch it. The bill would make both men and i women subject compulsory civil- lan service, if that became neces- i sary. i 'T would have to think a long time before I would vote to draft. workers, to break up families and to send men and women to work in i different parts of the country from where they live." Reynolds said.1 There is a great difference, he added, in drafting men for military service and in compelling them to work for another who profits from the transaction. The committee chairman said it is his opinion that the Army, which he estimated at a strength of 7.000.-000.

now is "big enough." He said ne looks for a tapering off in selective service requirements, particular ly for older men and those with i families, with youths turning 18 making up the bulk of additions and replacements. Controversy over the size of the Army is expected to be revived when proponents call for action on a reso- lution by Senator Wheeler D- i Mont'.
