SHORTAGE OF GAS
 REPORT THURSDAY
Senate Committee Expects to Be Ready to Give
 Its Findings
RY cEoRGE F. REEDY, JR.

United Press Staff CO1respondent)
 Washington, Sept. i0-(UP)-The senate committee Investigating the gasoline shortage expects to con- clude hearings today and submit Q report to the senate tomorrow which probably will be influenced by the decision of the supply priori- ties and allocations board to refuse priorities on steel for @ TexaS-New Jersey oil pipe line.
 The committees final witness will be Acting Defense Petroleum Co., ordinator Ralph K. Davies who con- tended yesterday that the gasoline shortage was not over. Committee Chairman Francis T. Maloney, D., Conn, said however, he believed the "oil shortage is over"
 The spAB specifically refused Nriority ratings for an estimated 700, 900 tons of steel plates needed to construct g proposed l,6oo-mile pipe line from east Texas to Bayonne, N. J. It would have been com pleted next spring at 8 cost of ESQ., 0oo,0o0.
 spAB did not reject the idea of the pipeline. It suggested that 1t be constructed of seamless steel tubes which would be drawn from billets--steel hlocks-in order to save the plates for the shipbuilding and tank programs The SPAB probably will not decide on the pipe line question until its meeting next Tuesday when Defense Petroleum Coordinator Harold L. Ickes or Davies will be asked to attend.
 If SPAB did grant prioritieS for seamless steel tubes for the pipe line, 1t would not be completed un- til late io42 or l943. SPAB spokes- man said that demand for steel bil- lets by bomb casting manufacturers would be given first call on sup- plies.
 STAB estimated that about 400,- 900 tons of steel plates would have been diverted from shipbuilding and tank construction to the pipeline, and another S000o0 tons of plates would have been used for feeders.
 Davies told the senate committee yesterday that available transporta- ton facilities would fill only about half the east coasts shortage. There still would be deficit of about i74,00o barrels daily, he said

 There are other kinds of rest Q soldier needs no command to take, and the boys at Camp Forrest do take, and the boys at Camp Forrest do take it every weekend they are free. All over the state of Tennes- see.
 One of them, sprawled on his stomach in & Nashville park, rolls over stretches with a snap of bones, vawns. Blades of grass have hach- iired his cheek with a faint feathery scar, Ills eyes are puffed with sleeping fitfully through the morn ing and a doldrumiSh afternoon. with e bare left foot he kicks his gently snoring companion in the back.

 The train comes in slowly tir. edly, wagging Q solemn bell. tSop light bells are more urgent, warn- ing traffic to Q halt along two main streets. Suddenly, explo- sively, chair cars are erupting hundreds of soldiers. In dlmming dust that cars and troop trucks have raised, and warm in the glow of low lights inside the train, they look like gravy how- ing in undulant, viScous streams toward waiting transports, taxis, the bus station. They're too tired to be nosy.

TRY COOLIDGE FIRST

There tme not very many years ago,
when poor roads and inadequate transportation
facilities kept all but the rich at home In those days
there was particular merchandising problem to
be faced by the home town merchant We either
took what was offered be it attractively packaged
or otherwise and wished that might someday
reside in one of the metropolitan centers of the
nation
Those days, like the horse and buggy, are gone
forever. Today the hometown merchant competes
with the metropolitan merchant and does mighty
fine job of it. Be it groceries clothing lumber or
drugs professional semi professional services all
are equally available to the smaller agricultural
towns on par with similar services in the large
cities. -
This is true today in Coolidge Perhaps more so
in Coolidge than most agricultural communities Coo.
ldge merchants business and professional men are
leaders in their individual fields in Pinal county
But there is something more than the simple offer
ing of these services to be considered if Coolidge is
to hold and maintain the leadership and pressing
pace of competition which it has set There must be
an ever developing of loyalty to Coolidge on
the part of every individual who makes his living
here When there is need for any type of service
the Coolidge householder must "Try Coolidge First.
We do not suggest that any person should pay
higher tariff simply for the privilege of buying
in Coolidge And very rare, indeed, is the Coolidge
merchant who charges for his wares or service
than is charged elsewhere In truth just the contrary
is to be found.
AS a case in pont two Coolidge women recently
made duplicate purchases. One in Coolidge and the
other out of town. Each purchase exact
replica to the trade name, of the other Yet the
woman who tTred Coolidge First paid nearly 20
per cent less than did her neighbor.
Coolidge merchants and business men help pay
for schools and every public enterprise. They
pay annual sums to the chamber of commerce that
Coolidge may be better place in which to live.
"Try Coolidge First is not merely trite bromide.
Rather it is an honest admonton which, if follow
ed will rebound to the benefit of every person
whose home lies within the boundaries of Coolidge.

Oklahoma, where he will serve his
year in Uncle Sans army.
During the five years that Buck
has been in this country. he has
divided his time between the Coo
lidge school and his job at Geo.
Y. Wah's grocery store. When he
first came to Coolidge he was un-
able to speak word of English.
His engaging smile, however, soon
made him one of the best-liked
persons here. In spite of his
language handicap and the fact
that he had to spend much of his
time at his job during his first
few years, Buck has made
rapid progress and is classified at
the present time as a Sixth Grade
pupil in Miss Radetic's room where
he is liked and admired by class
mates and his teachers
