Washington. May l5.-Motorists
OF the country are mp in arms over
the sudden rise in the price OF gaso.
line. a rapid climb OF from 4 10 5
cents a gallon in one month in nearly
every section OF the country and
appeals to the department Of justice
for ~ inquiry into the situation
have been needed.
Complaints have been pouring into
the department for 10 days, pariicu-
larly from the eastern section where
the price for ordinary fuel gasoline
leaped from "a cents TO % cents a
gallon within a lew weeks, the PIN
naclc being the highest reached for
several years. Congress is threaten
ing to take action in the matter, also.
There has been filed with the dc.
partment. latest reports OF oil re-
sources showing the United States
has the largest reserve supply oi
galoline in its history. This is sup
plemented by other reports compiled
by the genealogical survey. indicat-
ing that production is very high and
probably will continue so indefinitely.
May Go Higher.
Threats of the oil interests that
gasoline prices may go still higher
is regarded by the department OF
justice as adverse factor in the high
cost OF living problem. To what
extent the gasoline prices may be
the result of conspiracy to fix prices
or is due to unlawful combinations
in restraint OF trade. the attorney
general will seek to determine.
Department officials asserted that
apparently gasoline distributors had
taken advantage of larger seasonal
demand for gasoline and on the
strength of this alone, jumped the
price. No other reason is advanced
Members OF congress also suspect
that this is the basis of the boost and
have so informed the attorney gen.
eral.
