Cut In Half Ottawa, Dec. 23--(CP)-- Repres- entatives of the Canadian. fuel oil industry, meeting with government officials yesterday, agreed to a cut- back of up to 50 rer cent in imports frcen the United States and if the step is carried out it will mean that Canadian fuel oil consumers will have to "go easy" this winter. Reconstruction 'Minister Howe said last night following the meet- ing with oil industry representa- tives that he .could give no imme- djate details of the proposals but issue a He emi:hasized however, that 50 per cent cut in imports of fuel oil from the United States would not mean a 50 per cent cut in Cana- dian consumption. But it would mean that Canadian .consumers wbuld have to "be careful." Another source explained that al- | though the recommendation, if car- ried out, would become a part of Canada's dollar-saving program, it stemmed mainly from concern in Washington over U.S. domestic fuel | oil suPplies. A House of Represen- tatives committee has raised. the question of the effect of Canadian imporis on US. domestic suprly. It was recalled that most Cana- dian fuel oil companies warned their customers last spring and summer that they sctiould check with a re- liable supplier before installing oil- burning equipment since it might not be possible to supply other than regular customers during the com- ing winter. b Arab Bullets (Continued from Page 1) journalist who was killed Sunday by Arab bullets, was marked by an attack of snipers, some situated on the Mount of Olives.

Russ Methods in Oil Said Drying Up : By TONY SMITH (Copyright, 1947, by Gannet News Service.) Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia--(Via cable) --Russia's industrial economy and military potential has develop- ed a case of creeping anaemia from lack of oil. The international oilfield "grape- vine" says Soviet ofl production has slumped at home and is falling. off at an astounding rate in" the satelMte countries. It says exploration for new sourc- es is slow, and development of new fields even slower, It takes into account that Ameri- can shipments which once: supplied over 3,000,600 barrels a year to Rus- sia are drying up under protests from Con Fields here expect Russia to run a 7,000, 000-ton oil deficit for 1947. They explained that inefficient Russian production methods are notorious throughout foreign oil fields. Dale Nix, production manager for the American oil development in Arabia, said it long has been con- sidered "just a matter of time" un- til Russian methods began to cut the production from fields in Ro- mania, Hungary and Austria. In Romania, home of Europe's richest oil fields, the flow is said to have dropped from 85,000 to 68,- 000 barrels a day. Russia gets half the output as reparations payments. Oilfield "intelligence" reports Hungary's production has fallen off 2,500 barrels a day from last year's rate, In Russia the Baku yield is reported down 15 to 25 per cent. eH gress.
