| Gasoline Flows
| Like Water in
Oklahoma Town
BY the Associa ted Press.


ENID, Okla, Sept. 26.-The motor
lists dream has come true:
Just dig a hole and it fills up with
high-grade gasoline as fast as you
can use it. And there's 100000
gallons more where that comes from.
The thing started when water
well filled up with gasoline. Excited
neighborS dug holes, which also
filled up with gasoline.
They tried the fuel in automobile
tanks. 1t worked fine and sales fell
off sharply. The State Tax Com
mission, noting the decline, sent an
inspector to investigate.
Inquiry disclosed the gasoline
probably had been leaking from big
storage tanks of the Champlin Re
fining Co.
Company officials said the fuel had
seeped into sands Is or 80 feet under
the surface of the ground and in
. running through the sands had been
refined further. They offered to
buy the fuel for cents gallon.
They estimated the shallow holes
had yielded 100000 gallons and q
100000 gallons may yet be recovered.
This would mean a profit of $4,000
to property owners if they sell 1t
back.
The gasoline measured up to motor
fuel specifications.

Cleanup Of Italians
In Ethiopia Expected
To Start Tomorrow
Several Thousand Whites
And Askuris Hold Out
In Gondor Region
By WILLIAM II. STONEMAN,
Foreign Correspondent Of The Star and
d. Chicago Daily News.

Foreign correspondent OF Inc Quar- anu
Chicago Daily News
LONDON, Sept. 26.-The final
cleanup of Italians in Ethiopia is
expected to begin Immediately fol-
lowing the end of the rainy season
on the plateau which, according
to tradition, should be tomorrow,
Ethiopia's traditional "Maskal"
The only Italian organized re-
sistance will be found in the neigh
borhood of Gondar where several
thousand white troops and native
Askaris have been bravely holding
out despite pinpricking attacks and
incredible privation.
= If these troops surrender they are
expected to receive the same mill
tary honors which were given to
the Duke of Aosta and the brave de-
tenders of Amba Alaji when they
were finally beaten. '
!. The British today renewed their
promise to recognize Halle Selassle's
government and establish diplo-
matte relations with it as the
sovereign authority in Ethiopia as
soon as the situation has been re-
established
The degree of assistance which
the British will give him in admin
istering and controlling the country
and the form it will take is now the
subject of negotiation between the
Emperor and the British authorities
in Adds Ababa. This is very deli
cate subject and the British are
attempting to reach a solution which
will guarantee the stability in
Ethiopia and at the same time not
infringe on the rights and sensibili-
ties of the Emperor. His reported
impatience at the delay in settling
matters is understood here,
Today's British explanation OF this
situation was provoked by the some
what glaring absense of an Ethio-
plan representative from Wednes-
days meeting of the Inter-Allied
Conference here.

Nations Farmers
To Vote On Quota

The ballot which Americans have
long used to determine national poll
cles will be used by wheat farmers
May 81 to decide an important econ
omic policy, the chairman of the Coun.
ty AAA Committee, points out. On
May 81, wheat farmers of this county
will join with wheat farmers through
out the Nation in deciding whether or
not to have marketing quotas.
Each wheat community in the coun.
try will have its polling place, and
three local wheat farmers will be in
charge of the referendum. They are
responsible for posting public notices
of the referendum and for seeing that
each eligible farmer has the 'opportun-
ity to cast his vote in secret.
When the voting is concluded, the
counting of the balloth will be public.
When the County results have been
compiled, they will be sent to the
'Hllle AAA VI -Ht. NdllUll.ll rGSulUi
will be compiled by the Department of
Agriculture in Washington d. G.
All farmers affected by the wheat
quota may cast a vote. The County
Chairman urges each wheat farmer to
find out from his community or coun
ty committeeman whether he is ehgi
Ele If two thirds of the farmers vot
ing approve, the quota will become eff
fective.
The defense emergency makes the
referendum question all the more I'M
portant while the preparedness prog
ram calls for Il good-sized reserve, 1t
also needs some provision for handling
the large supply SO that the wheat
prices will not be depressed. This is
done under quotas by storing the sur
plus and dividing the available market
cquitably. Whether this is done will
be decided by the farmers voting in
the referendum May 81
