cooperation, Roberts asserted. Our
mails are flooded with letters of
encouragement, letters giving us
specific and additional informa-
ton concerning the wastefulness
ef the method of distribution of
gasoline within the Carolinas.
Members Of congress from North
and South Carolina are likewise
receiving their share of protests
and requests that they do some
thing about it, or urging an in
Vestlgation and the possible ap-
polntment Of a Gasoline director,
