IS Per Cent Cut
In Gasoline Use

Civilian gasoline consumption in
the United States for 1912 is expect
ed to be reduced by as much as 35
per cent because of restrictions max
ing it impossible for the ordinary
motorist to obtain new tires or in
ner tubes for his car, or to purchase
new vehicle.
Petroleum experts believe the reg
ulations will result in limited use of
automobiles in order to preserve the
present rubber, and gasoline con-
sumption accordingly will be sharply
reduced.
The rubber conservation program
likely will cut gasoline consumption
to such an extent that rationing OF
motor fuel may not be needed, in the
event war effort ties up extensive
transportation facilities required te
distribute 7,2o0,0O0,0O0 gallons Of
gasoline annually in the country.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-The
administration and farm bloc to-
day began the showdown phase Of
a Senate battle over higher farm
prices in the anti-inflation bill
with the administration holding a
slight edge on the basis OF in
formal weekend polls.
Both sides were confident, how
ever, OF winning the fight. over
which debate has been prolonged
for a week.
Senator Prentiss NJ Brown CD
of Michigan, leader Of the admin
istration forces, predicted that the
adminisrat tons version of the bill
would pass today or tomorrow.
CLAIMS MORAL VICTORY
Senator Elmer Thomas CD OF
Oklahoma. leader OF the farm
bloc, said that regardless Of the
outcome the farm bloc had won
its point"-bringing to the atten-
ton of the public the serious po-
tential shortage of food II farm
prices are restricted.
Only three days remain before
President Roosevelt's "you-do-it-
or-I-will" deadline-Thursday, Oc-
tober /.
In that time the Senate must
pass its version of the anti-infla-
ton bill and reconcile it with the
House-approved version, which in
cludes the farm bloc's amendment
for higher parity figure on farm
commodities.

and it was evident that for a fleeeting

shaken him but he reused himself
and with his well known smile went
on. "You understand, of course, that
Jim Murray is my very best friend.
In fact, Jim and l are buddies, pals

for anything in the world would l do
aught to harm Jim nor his hopes but"

F. O'Connor will not hold back, he
will not hesitate but will enter the

congressman sighed, saddened no
doubt by the sense of responsibility
that had come upon him on this his
toric occasion and sat in reflection,
apparently oblivious of all things save
the perfecto he held in his hand, as
the reporters quietly passed out,
abashed and humbled by the humility
of truly great man in an hour when
the iminence of great responsibilities
had almost overwhelmed him. Phon-
