 GASOLINE SALES
Dealers Propose to Oper. ate Their Stations Only
 Hours Daily

Boston, June 2e-(UP)-Massa- chusetts gasoline dealers propose to operate their stations only Il hours daily to avoid "gasless" Sundays or the Issuance of rationing cards to motorists.
 The plan was announced last night at a meeting of the Retail Gasoline Dealers Association which was told that Secretary of Interior Harold L. 1ckes, Federal oil Coord- inator, was studying tho proposal Under the plan, according to ex- ecutive Secretary Frederick H. Moore of the RGDA, stations vol- untarily would be open only between 7:30 (. m. and 6:30 D. fll., e reduction of 35 hours per week from the pres ent average schedule.
 June c. Richdale, chairman of the oil division of the Massachusetts, committee on public safety and vice. president of the Colonial Beacon oil O.. said that the northeast states definitely were going to have "curtailment" of gasoline supplies due to the lack of transportation facilities.
 He was unable to predict whether the Association's plan would be acc ceptable to Ickes, but said the ail- swer would be known within c few days.
 T am inclined to believe that fl there are no definite signs Of cur- tailment after three or four weeks said Richdale, i've will be able to buy gasoline only by ration cards"

TEXAS WANTS TO
 BUILD OWN ARMY
Gov. O'Daniel Has Asked Permission; Would Get
 Navy, Air Force Too

Austin, Tex, June 26 - (UP.) -- Governor W. Lee O'Daniel said to- day he had asked President Roose- welt to let Texas build It's own army navy and air force, independent of the rest of the United States, so 1t could stop any nation or combin- ation of nations from coming into the United States from the South"
 The president replied in e letter to O'Daniel, that the idea was breath taking" but that the feder- al government did not desire to place . heavier load on Texas than that shared by other states, the gov- ernor said.
 O'Daniel is one of 27 candidates for the United States senate seat of the late Morris Sheppard. Ills plan was to get federal financing for his army. Tho finished battleships, planes and troops would be lent to tho regular army and navy for their use where needed.
 A flour salesman who became gov. ernor with @ campaign song entitled Pass The Biscuits, Pappy," O'Dan- iel said that his plan would be op- erated "just the same as if we were still the Republic of Texas"
 He recalled that Texas won its independence from Mexico in 1886 and that for the Il years before 1t entered the Union 1t maintained It's own army.
