GASOLINE SOARING

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 16.- There is talk of controlling gasoline otherwise it may go away up.
 Thousands of cars were kept in the garages last year because of the high costs of gasoline and un- less there is a substitute found for the Standard Oi! product, they are likely to stay there this year too.
 One version has it that the inter- ests controlling gasoline have huge investments in the traction compa- nies throughout the country and the high price of gasoline, playing ha- voc with the jitney bus traffic is re- garded with feelings of satisfaction. The rich man and the businessman can afford to use autos at the pre- sent prices, but 8 jitney a trip will not pay for high gas. They get them going and coming with the high price.
