I EP. By the first of the year, according to the aviation experts, Uncle Sam will be asking us oil men to supply him with 4,200,000 gallons of high octane aviation gasoline every 24 hours! He'll need that much to keep our fighting planes in the air. Naturally, the steps that Standard of California has taken are a military secret, but I can sure tell you that the men at the refineries haven't been sitting on their hands. Standard is already turning out vast quantities of aviation gasoline and even greater supplies will be produced soon.
