Some Experts See Gasoline Price Cut Others Expect Only Production Cutback Washington, Feb. 11 — (UP) — Some petroleum experts predicted today that a price cut in gasoline will start in the next six weeks and extend over the entire country east of the Rockies. Others said they expect cut, backs in production — which already have started —but only scattered gasoline price cuts. All agreed that any price cut would be small and perhaps only temporary unless a real business recession develops. Domestic crude oil producers are gathering their strength to try to get congress to impose quotas on oil imports. Mahy refineries already have started cutting down on their imports. The petroleum industry, which has been increasing both production and prices since the war because higher costs and the shortage of fuel oil and gasoline, suddenly has found its situation reversed.

The unusually mild winter in the east coincided with a 400,000-barrel-a-day increase in domestic crude oil production, a 100,000-bar-rel-a-day increase in imported crude, and heavy stocking in the midwest. Now there are surpluses of both fuel oil and gasoline. Gasoline stocks total 114,000,090 barrels, the highest ever. And this is the time of year when refineries switch their heavy production from fuel oil to gasoline. That is why some petroleum experts believe that distributors and refiners will start shading their gasoline prices in the next six weeks. Crude production in Texas has been cut 300,000 barrels a day by the state commission. Refineries are cutting their output J»y about this much. The price of fuel oil in the midwest and east already has weakened. Experts said, however, that the over-supply will be only temporary. Over-all demand for petroleum products will continue on the up-grade, unless the country goes into a recession. Girl Scout troop S held its regnjar meeting Wednesday.
