Gas Price Boost Hit
By George in Bitter
Senate Attack
Leader Brands Increase
Henderson Allowed
As Ubiquitous

1y the Associated Press.
Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia told the Senate today
the 2l2-cent per gallon gasoline
price increase allowed in the
East was a most forceful illus
tration of bad administration
Of an unjustifled order, followed
by a ruling that is positively
iniquitous in a free country un-
der any circumstances"
He said If rationing is necessary
to conserve rubber and transporta-
ton then there can be no justifica-
ton for refusal to ration on q Ma
tion-wide basis"
Senator George predicted that
Sooner or later the lid will fly off"
the price ceiling program because
Administrator Leon Henderson
made the mistake of thinking he
could put price ceilings on COM
modities without also putting CELL
:ngs on the two basic cost factors
raw materials and labor"
White Joins in Criticism.
Senator White, Republican, of
Maine Joined in the criticism of
the rationing program, asserting
that the gasoline regulations had
ruined a s100, 100000 tourist busi-
ness" in Maine
The discussion was touched of
by Senator Smith. Democrat, of
South Carolina, who declared this
business of rationing gasoline is an
insult to the intelligence of the
American people"
Senator Smith complained that
thousands of small filling station
operators were going broke while
producers were to receive a higher
price for their oil.
Il for one am sick of it," he de-
clared. He said Congress ought to
reclaim some of the power it had
delegated to miserable misfits" in
the Government.
Sugar Shortage Denied.
Assailing the whole rationing sys-
tenn, Senator Smith said he was in
formed that many dealers were be-
ing forced to store sugar in the
open because their storage facilities
were full.
Contending there was no real
shortage, Senator Smith declared:
I'VE ought to introduce a resolu-
ton declaring the sugar shortage
null and void-repealing the sugar
shortage"
Senator Smith added that because
he had not yet removed the cuffs
from his trousers, he expected to
go before a firing squad at any
time"

HANOVER, Mass, June 29.-An
elderly little widow who says she
wasn't much up on this rubber
shortage business is happy because
the "eyesore" on her property turned
into a bonanza-and the mortgage is
about ready to be torn up.
Mrs. Mary Glauben. white-haired
and IS. was SO breathless about the
whole thing that she hadn't had
time to figure just what the huge
stocks of old rubber on her acre
of land would bring.
But one of the neighbors, who
was just as excited as she, figured
it this way:
In five hours, 70.600 pounds; at
I cent a pound, s706; and a half
of this to Mrs. Glauben. who made
an agreement with couple of gen.

ABANDONMENT OF COUNTY

Supreme Court UphOlds ICC Or.
der Regarding Confluence
Oakland Branch

On Thursday Of last week the Su-
preme Court of the United States up
held an Interstate Commerce Com
mission order permitting the aban-
donment of 20-mile line of railroad
in Pennsylvania and Maryland, re-
quested by the War Department, to
facilitate construction Of a food-con-
troll dam. Justice Black delivered the
unanimous decision of the Court.
Abandonment of the railroad was
contested by the Maryland Public Ser
vice Commission and the Mccullough
Coal Corporation, owner of d Garrett
county coal mine located on the line of
the railroad at or near Friendsville
and between that town and Kendall
The contestants contended the line OF
railroad should be relocated and ser
vice continued.
During the argument of the matter
before the Court, it was contended by
attorneys for the coal corporation that
abandonment Of the line would make
several places in the Youghiogheny
River valley ghost towns" and as q
result require the removal Of a great
number of residents of the affected
communities to seek other homes anC
