Tckes said today Relaxation of restrictions urged by some Washington and Oregon | dealers cannot be authorized at this time because of the need for conserving the fuel oil stock for the military and essen lian purpc which he said are vital for military operations in Alaska. The situation is largely dependent received in the two states, he said.
