They haven't deoided on their wedding date yet Governor Is Still Irked By High Gasoline Prices RALEIGH. Oct. 9.—Governor Eh ringhaus is anythfog but pleased < the attitude which the large gaso Une and oil oompanlea have taken with regard to prices for gasoline In the state, where they have con sistently kept prices up higher' In North Carolina than tn adjacent states, he Indicated here today. He pointed out, however, that they were beginning to reduoee prices and predicted that this was the first move to gradually bring prices down before the general assembly meets. “The gasoline companies have been consistently maintaining high er prtoee In North Carolina than In most other neighboring states all summer and have been making North Carolina motorists pay for their gasoline wars In other states," Oovernor Ehrlnghaus said. “Even over In Eastern Tennessee, where a much longer haul Is required and where freight rates are higher and where the state- gasoline tax it one cent higher than the North Caro lina tax, gasoline has been selling for from one to three cents a gal lon cheaper than m North Carolina, so I have been informed. Let in a few places tn this state where lo cal ‘gasoline wars’ have been going on, as In Salisbury and a few other places, gasoline has been selling as low as 16 and 18 cents a gallon. But In moat other sections of the state the price has remained at from 99.1 cents to 93.9 cents a gallon, which Is entirely too high."

It Is pointed out that he gave these companies a chance to eoop eratj and to act voluntarily and that they Ignored his request and the opportunity he gave them. It Is now believed that since they have invited a “gas war" from the state thal they will get It. 4 State Protests Freight Increase Utilities Commissioners Goes To Washington; Roads Ask 1170,000.000 Rise.

Under his plan, which was pre sented to AAA officials, allotments of growers who produced cotton in excess of their quota would be In creased to Include it all tax free, while allotments of growers who did not raise their quota would be re duced. This, he said, would provide a way for marketing the entire 1034 crop tax exempt as the estimated production la below the aggregate of 10,480,000 bales of cotton exempted from taxation under the Bankhead act “This would keep the law intact and would only mean that each pro ducer under the modified allot ments would be allowed to sell without tax this year’s production," Smith declared. “Fit the allotments to the conditions that exist rather than take the present allotments regardless of condition,” he added. Under his proposal, each produc er would be required to make an affidavit of the actual amount of his production and this production would be verified by the number of baiee ginned. Senator Smith said he would in sist that the measure be modified In any event "to where an Indivi dual can market as a minimum one bale of cotton under the present sit uation.” As Rainbow Won Yacht Title ..I . .II II Retaining Amarica’a cop for the United State*, the Vanderbilt yacht, Rainbow, i* pictured croaaing the fini»h line off Newport, R.
