OIL FIRMS GIVE UP FILLINGjTATIONS Unable To Pay Excessive Taxes and Simply Cease Operations Dolly Glapntcb Bnreow, In The Sir Wnlrrr Hold, By J C. «ASKRB V»X!i Raleigh, Sept. 11.—The reason many of the large gasoline and oil com panies are ceasing to operate many of their filling stations as company operated stations and are leasing them to individuals without any re strictions whatever, is because they simply cannot afford to pay the heavy chain filling station tax on these stations, Robert Grady John son, secretary of the North Carolina Petroleum Industries Committee, said today. So the only alternative the oil companies have is either to close the stations «P entirely, or to lease them to individual operators, Johnson said. “The average persons does not real ize how much it costs to operate a. filling station,” Johnson said. “Since most of the sites for the stations are leased, even iby the companies, they pay an average of one cent a gallon for the rental of these sites. This, if the rent on a particular site is SIOO a month, the station must sell a minimum of 100,000 gallons of gaso line a month merely to pay its rent. If in addition it must pay he a. heavy tax, this takes an additional amount and the gallonage sold per month must be heavily increased before any profit can be earned. “I know of gasoline companies (Continued on Page Two) FOR NORTH CAROLINA.

C., FRIDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 11, 1936 Scene at Wheeler dam I nessee river, above, marks another important step I in the progress of the vast TVA power program. —Central Press ROOSEVELT WANTS POWER COMPANIES TO JOINWITH TVA But If They Don’t, and on Government Terms, Lat ter Is Ready For Finish Fight WOULD POOL POWER OF THE SOUTHEAST All Would Be Sold on Uni form Basis Everywhere in Section; Knoxville Paper Tells of What Is In Mind in Special Copyrighted Story Published Knoxville, Tenn., Sept. 11—(AP) —The News-Sentinel says in a copyrighted story that President Roosevelt and directors of the Tennessee Valley Authority are considering cooperation between the government and the power In dustry as the basis of a new TVA power policy. Under the proposed plan, all power manufactured in the southeastern states would be pooled and served to customers at uniform wholesale rates over transmission lines of the TVA and the private power companies. “The proposed power pool,” some experts believe, “would practically eli minate competition between the gov ernment and the private utilities in the manufacture and transmission of electricity,” the News-Sentinel says. “It would put ail municipal and pri vate distribution systems in all in dustries in this region on the same basis in buying wholesale power. It would simplify the issue of municipal ownership of distribution systems and if successful, it would be applicable to other areas served ;by government power projects.” “If the power companies decline to cooperate in a power pool, the govern ment apparently is prepared to make a finish fight for its yardstick prin ciple,” the newspaper says. IS NOT CLARIFIED Leaders of Opposing Fac tions Do Not State Own Cases Adequately By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Sept. 11.—The nature of the split in labor’s ranks between horizontal unionism, led by President William Green of the A. F. of L., and vertical unionism, led by President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers, seems to me not to be fully understood even by the chieftains of the conflicting factions.

He showed no ef fects of the drenching he received as he rode in an open car to the “green pastures” rally at Charlotte, N. C., late yesterday. The heavy rain soak ed his open air audience, as well as himself. Considerable ceremonial was ar ranged for the President’s mid-aft ernoon appearance before the power conference. In addition to making a speech, he will press a button that will start the government turbines at Boulder Dam. Lively crowds greeted the President last night at the North Carolina cities of Salisbury, High Point and Greensboro. To his drenched audience at Char lotte he spoke of a “defeinite upturn in business,” of “better conditions” on the farm and in factories and in homes, of local governments and bus iness firms “back in the block” and of low interest rates prevailing on borrowings. All of this, he asserted, had been attained without endangering indivi dual liberties or “invading the in herent rights of the sovereign states.” Norris To Run Again; Urges FD R Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 11. —(AP) —Sen- ator George W.

The rebel junta, which claims it is the “real” nation al government of Spain, today announced 3,000 government troops had been slaughtered in an abortive attack on the island of Mallorca. At the same time, Fascist rebels and Socialist government sources re ported a new and violent engagement at the besieged rebel city of Oviedo, in the northern part of the country.' Who actually won was hidden in highly conflicting claims. There was a similar conflict of claims concerning success or failure of the rebels’ southwestern drive on Madrid and on other battle fronts. The rebels at Burgos, seat of the junta, declared a final attack on the northern resort city of San Sebastian is imminent, and said an unofficial truce there involving negotaitions for the city’s surrender had been broken because the defenders wanted safe conduct for militiamen whom they de sired to send to the defense of near by Bilbao. The attack on rebel positions in Mallorca wag frustrated September 4, the Fascists said, with only 4,000 out of 6,000 government militiamen es caping to the mainland.

August 25 while it was undergoing routine overhaul ing in the Brooklyn navy yard, Cap tain C. A. Dunn, manager of the yard, said today. Captain Dunn said in a statement that the fire was due to a short cir cuit in some of the auxiliary cables, and that damage was confined to the cables. He said two nails were found in one circuit in the fire room of the 10,000-ton naval cruiser, on which Roosevelt took a trip in 1933, and another nail was found in another circuit which wa3 dead. “This action was undoubtedly de liverate,” he said. “The navy yard has no one under suspicion at the present time.” They declared they had received in formation the extremists were plan ning to take over the plant by force and operate it for themselves tempo rarily. The delegation asked the premier for a government guarantee that non union employees would be assured of the right to work in the event the “experiment” materialized. French labor troubles linked to workers' demands for reconsideration of Frances’s non-intervention 'policy in the Spanish civil war brought new worries to Spanish cabinet officials.
