I olja G # $16LAVNZZ CLINE 62 U.S. DEVELOPS NEW SUTER-GASOLINE FOR WAR FLANES Vaporized crude oil heated to a specific temperature passes through this maze of pipes on its way to a fluid catalytic cracker in a tremendous refining plant recently placed in operation anothe U.S. East Coast, one of 33 refineries either built or under construction. In a new refining process that cracks apart the molecule construction of crude oil and then rearranges it, U.S. scientists have perfected the large-scale manufacture of 100-octane aviation gasoline. At the same time, the plant gathers the by-products of the refined oil for use in making synthetic rubber and high explosives. All U.S. planes are now equipped to use 100-octane fuel, which allows 1,000 planes to carry 5,000,000 more pounds of borbs for a greater distance than with the present gasolino. 6825-F (See accompanying photos) ATTROVED BY ATTROTRIATE U.S. AUTHORITY
