COLORED MAN SHOT
RESISTING ARREST

George Lennie Wise, colored, lies
chained to a bed in Memorial Hospital
the result of a pistol wound thru the
left shoulder inflicted by Sheriff Geo
Turner when the Negro threatened the
officers life Sunday night.
Wise was taken into custody when
he and other Negroes staged fight
along the Highway near Nassawadox
Sheriff Turner and Mrs. Turner were
en- route home from trip into Acco-
mac and the officer stopped and ar
rested Wise. At the mans request the
officer permitted him to leave the car
to go to his place of business to get
money with which he said he wished
to purchase cigarettes. Once inside
the building Wise refused to come out
and dared the officer to kill him.
Sheriff Turner vainly endeavored to
persuade the man to come out and en-
tered the house to get him. Wise then
threatened to kill the officer and
reached behind the counter for his
gun, but the Sheriff "beat him to the
draw"
Wise will be given hearing be-
fore Justice as soin as he is able to
leave the Hospital, his condition is
not regarded as critical the bullet

One MILLION
WORKERS In
OIL PRODUCTS

Production and marketing of pc
troleum products furnish employment
to approximately one million workers
who receive a total of $1,500, 0,000, 900
in wages, according to a statement
made today by Robert Wier, Jr., of
the Sun Oil Company, in which he out
lined some of the features of the Pc
troleum Industry Exhibition at the
New York Worlds Fair. One of the
highlights of the exhibit, Mr.. Wier
said, will be a series of displays indi-
eating the role played by petroleum
in the economic life of the country.
'The number of persons in the Uni
ted States whose livelihood is derived
directly from production and distri-
button of petrey pm products" Mr..
Wier stated, "isA 4eater than the en-
tire population of Denmark. Figuring
on basis of three dependents to each
employee, the industry supports some
100000 people. In addition, hun
dreds of thousands of workers find
employment in producing the billion
dollars worth of goods and services
which the petroleum industry pur-
chases each year.
Visitors to the Petroleum Industry
Exhibition at the Worlds Fair will
probably be surprised to learn that
one out of every nine persons engaged
in retail trade in this country is oc-
cupied in. the merchandising of gaso-
line and other oil products. Outside
of the grocery business, more people
are employed in service stations and
other outlets retailing petroleum pro-
ducts than in any other type of re-
tail establishment. And contrary to
q widely bold notion, only about one
fifth of the service stations are oper-
ated by the oil companies. The 9TH
ers are owned by individuals and con-
Germs confining themselves exclusive
ly to retail marketing of petroleum
products.
"The petroleum industry, through
extensive research and the develop
ment of new processes and products,
is constantly opening up>new possibili-
ties Of employment. Moreover, in the
past decade there has been a marked
decline in the average working week
which has made it possible to re-em-
ploy many thousands of workers. The
average number of hours worked per
week is now about thirty per cent
less than in 1929 and it is estimated
that the reduction in working hours
has created 25O,OO0. additional jobs
since the low point of the depression.
Nor has this decline in hours worked
meant wage reductions; as matter
Of fact both hourly and weekly wage
rates are higher.
"Three-quarters Of a century ago,
the production of oil was confined to
