new SETUP ASKED
IN GAS SQUABBLE
Eastern States Dealers
Claim Situation "A POliti=
cal Football"

New York, June Is. (UP)-The
Eastern States Gasoline Dealers
Assn. planned today to demand a
new federal setup to handle the
gasoline situation following charges
by its counsel that gasoline has be-
come "a political football" in Con-
gress.
Sol A. Herzog, the Association
counsel, announced yesterday that
a special meeting would be held in
Philadelphia Sunday to support the
demand of the Automobile Club of
New York that Bernard M. Baruch
draft blueprint for the gasoline
industry similar to the one made
by his committee for the rubber
industry.
William j. Gottlieb, president of
the Automobile Club, said there was
general opposition to administration
of the gasoline situation by solid
fuels administrator, Harold L. Ickes,
who was accused by Herzog of
complete disregard for public
opinion and morale" insofar as the
Eastern Seaboard was concerned.
IF this part of the country is
being wiped off as a democratic as
set for the next election, and there
fore, tight restrictions are being
centered here and not permitted to
extend to other parts of the country
for vote-catching purposes, then the
people of this section should realize
that they are being made the vic
tins of political mousetrap," Her
ZOg said.
