GdsIess SUNDAYS
Threatened Here

"Gasless Sundays" were threat
ened by retail gasoline dealers
today as the first weekend since
the presidential appeal for tire
economy failed 10 bring any ap'
probable drop in Detroit traffic.
The "gasless Sunday proposal
came from station opera tors,
alarmed by expected rauoning
rules.
Reports that driving continued
in normal proportions came from
state and city police and deputy
sheriffS.
The sole effect of the Roosevelt
warning. they said. was a reduc-
ton in normal speeds. Cars moved
slower and. in most instances
stuck 10 a 35-mile an hour speed
limit.
The result was far fewer acci.
dents on both Detroit and outlying
traffic arteries.
In another development in the
"7Soline situation. common council
today received an ordinance which
would compel all Gas stations &c
close between s p. m. and 7 a. m
a voluntary curfew among dealers
failed last month.

The Wayne County Republican
Committee today called the atten-
ton of the electorate in Detroit TO
ia list of 10 sticker candidates
necessary to fill out the legislative
ticket in the first district for to-
Imorrow's election.
The drafting of the sticker can
'didates was made necessary by
the. fact that only seven Republi-
leans filed for the II seats at large
i'm the district, comprising all of
Detroit Crosse Pointe and Gratiot
and Crosse Pointe Townships.
On the Sticker list, 10000 OF
which have been printed and dis

Robert J. Jones. Ralph II. Kirby
Sherman Littlefield, Duane II

Election officials explained that,
while Sticker candidates are ig-
inored in counting the votes for a
city office, they are permissible
in state elections.
The law requires. however. that
each primary sticker candidate get
'l5 per cent of the total vote in
the district to qualify for the
general election.
