Mldgleyi Bootor Bayers Informs me that you oalled him on the phone this morning and stated that It had been deolded to discontinue the production of ethyl gasoline for ninety days; that you were not In aooord with this decision and hoped that this Bureau would be will ing to write to those who have made the decision stating that It believed nothing would be gained by so doing. While this Bureau Is cognisant of the benefit to bo derived from the use of ethyl gasoline and is Interested In the subject from 7 the standpoint of fuel conservation, it does not believe it to be within the Boope of Its work to attempt to suggest to the manufac turers of ethyl gasoline that the manufacture of It should be continued. We believe the Bureau le not warranted in going further at this time than it did In the general statement whioh was giyen to the press. In other words. It Is believed that we have practically covered the sub ject. We ore hastening the Investigation on the effects of the diluted tetraethyl lead as rapidly as possible and will give you an early report. However, much of this phase of the problem has been aovered by Bootor Kehoe and considerable Information is known from a practical standpoint In that It haB been sold for some months on the open market. ' As before stated, this Bureau Is greatly Interested in this subjeot and it will be very glad, I assure you, to endeavor to qupply to you and to all others interested in the matter any Information that we have collected at any time, espeolally if it will assist you or the companies with whom you are working In deciding polloles. -Yours very truly.
