Scene of Michigan's million
dollar gasoline tax battle
against thes Standard Oil Com

vent Frank D. Fitzgerald, Sec
retary of State, from closing
all of the firms 1,947 filling

i Fitzgerald revoked Standard

claims to be delinquent.
Delay Sought
Under the State law, however,
IQc TGVOCdGlOL1 UINC1 NbA1AlOV AC-
suit in closing Of the company's
gas stations until five days after
it is issued, which will be next

Delay in issuance of the closing
order was sought by Frank E,

company. He pointed out that
the courts would be closed this
afternoon and Monday, a holi-
day! making it impossible for him
to prepare a petition and obtain
a restraining order before the
revocation goes into effect.

JOBS
At ONCE URGED

Pleas for jobless aid through a
great public works program, fl
nanced by a Federal bond issue,
were made over station WMAL
yesterday afternoon by former
Gov. Nellie Tayloe Ross, of Wyo-
ming, and last night by Repre-
sentative William P. Connery, jr.,
of Massachusetts,.
Mrs. Ross described the misery
that confronts many destitute
families today and contended
that vigorous and prompt action
to aid them is essential. She
said there has already been too
much delay on the part of the
Federal Government.
Mr.. Connery has had exCep-
tional opportunities to get facts
on present conditions, as he is
chairman of the House Commit
tee on Labor. He said:
ut is my conclusion, reached
after a thorough investigation,
that a great public works pro
gram, financed by a Federal
bond issue, offers the best
means of lifting the United
States out of its three-year
slump, since such a program
would provide promptly the
first and greatest essential
jobs for the unemployed"

GARNER RELIEF.
PLAN WINS
SUPPORT
Republican Votes Expected
to Join With Democrats
In Spite of Hoover

President Hoover and
Speaker John n. Garner of the
House today crossed swords
in a finish duel on unemploy-
ment relief legislation.
With the President de-
nouncing Gamers So, 100000
900 program as a "pork-bar-
rel" measure, the Speaker
smiled and went ahead with
plans for it's passage in the
House within 10 days.
The measure seemed assured
of House approval, with Demo
Gratis generally and many Re
publicans pledging support.
The program, made public in
rough draft, was being revised
by the Speakers aids, and will
be furtAer revised by the House
Ways and Means Committee.
I4OUNCE OPPVSCS DuASAO
Mr.. Hoover's opposition, ex-
pressed in a scathing statement,
was based chiefly upon Gamers
proposal for a billion dollar bond
issue for public buildings, rivers
and harbors improvement and
flood control.
The measure also provides a
billion dollars for the Recon
struction Finance Corporation,
with blanket authority to make
loans to aid States and cities and
promote productive enterprise,
and $780, 900, 900 for direct relief
While the President asserted
the bill distributes pork" in
public buildings and rivers and
harbors projects, Garner retorted
with Mr.. Hoover's speech Of
acceptance in 1928 urging expen-
diture of billion dollars for such
projects.
The Presidents claim that the
budget would be unbalanced was
answered by Gamers pointing to
the one-fourth cent a gallon tax
on gasoline carried in the bill
specifically intended to preserve
a balanced budget.
Garner'S Motives Questioned
Mr.. Hoover charged that
Garner sought to arouse the
"cupidity" of towns and sections
which would benefit by the pro-
jects by broadcasting the in
dividual items of the bill.
Garner said:
I'VE have been cooper
ating with the President since
December, but he doesn't seem
to want to cooperate with U.S."
He added that nothing would
please him more than to debate
the question with the President.
He said 40 Republicans had al
ready offered to support. the bill.

attack by charging that Gamers
program sprang from political
motives.
