prices fixed by the big corporations
in Tulsa, Okla. plus the phantom all
rail freight to the Mountain destina-
TONS"
Mr.. Arnold is grossly misinformed.

areas where millions of gallons Of gas
oline are sold virtually at the side door
of the refineries, as in California, Mont
tana gasoline prices are based largely

able net-back plus the cost of trans
portation and distribution.
