SeIf-Service Gas
Stations Cut Costs

LOS ANGELES. New Self-ser'
vice gasoline stations are springing
up throughout Southern California.
Instead of men attendants, cute girl
cashiers, some on roller skates and
dressed in snappy and abbreviated
costumes, take your money after
you have filled your w tank.
In addition to the girls there Is
another attractive feature for motor
lists:
The price for gasoline is as much
as five cents a gallon under usual
prices. Some Of the s~elf-service
stations advertise a saving Of seven
cents a quart on oil.
Borrowed from the super-market
system, the new idea is spreading.
Estimates indicate there are more
than 35 self-service stations, and
the number is growing daily.
Operators claim their products are
marketed at one-third the cost to
ordinary stations. Harry Rothchild,
president of Rothchild Oil company,
one Of several Independents going
In strong for the idea, says his cost
is III cents a gallon to the normal
AZ cents, refinery to consumer.
Self-service requires a larger area
as each station uses several times
the normal number Of gasoline
pumps, to accommodate more car
Some stations have 20 or nor
pumps.
Attendants are needed only to un-
lock the pumps and take the GUS
TONER'S money after he has helped
himself.
Some stations have put girl at
tendants on roller skates. 1t en-
ables them to make quick change
and handle more pumps.

Parliamentary Battle
Holds Up Extension Of
Home Loan Insurance
By J. A. O'Eeory

The Governments authority
to insure home loans expired
last night, but Is expected to be
revived next week, as soon as
the House and Senate agree on
how long to extend it.
The Senate put on a rare parlia-
mentary battle of wits yesterday as
its members squared off into two
opposing teams, which crossed party
lines
One group wanted only a three
month extension to see what the
House will do with the broader
Taft -Ellender-Wagner housing bill,
which also continues the home loan
insurance feature. The other side
wanted the Senate to concur in a
one-year extension already voted by
the House.
After five hours of maneuvering
by both sides, the defenders of the
Taft bill won the endurance con-
test, for the time being, by forcing
postponement of Q decision until
next week.
Recess Less Than Minute.
The maneuvering began early in
the afternoon, when Acting .Repub-
lican Floor Leader Wherry brought
about what was probably the short
est recess in legislative history-less
than a minute-in order to get
around a rule which would have
blocked consideration of the issue
yesterday.
The rule says a bill cannot be
taken upon the day it is reported
without unanimous consent. BY ad-
jcurning the Senate at Ill pm.
and having it reconvene at l:12,
Senator Wherry accomplished the
dawn" of a new Legislative day"
In the process, however, it became
necessary for the chaplain, the Rev.
Peter Marshall, to offer an opening
prayer twice in less than two hours.
The regular session had started at
noon with a prayer.
The bill Senator Wherry was try
ing to get up provided only for the
30-day extension recommended by
the Banking Committee. AS soon
as it was in order, however, Senator

Threat To Bill Seen.
A combination of Democrats, with
some Republicans support, feared
a 12-month extension of the home
loan insurance program would weak
en- the chances for House passage
of the rest of the Taft bill, including
funds for public housing develop
ments.
These supporters proved every bit
as adroit at using the rules. Every
time the debate would slow down,
some one would suggest the absence
of a quorum and it took so long to
roundup the required number that
twice the Sergeant-at-Arms was
directed to go in search of absentees.
Democrats, led by Senator Tyd-
ings of Maryland had a field day
taunting the Republicans for not
following Senator Taft, chairman
of their Policy Committee and one
of the authors of the broad housing
bill.
Senator Lucas of Illinois, acting
Democratic floor leader, pictured
some of the Republicans as taking
advantage of Senator Taft while he
was out fighting for his political
life" in the Ohio primary yesterday.
It was Senator Ives, Republican,
of New York, however, who dealt
the decisive blow in defense of the
Taft bill. He produced a message
form Senator Taft, asking the Sem
ate not to act on the extension of
this one part of the housing system
until Monday.
House leaders had kept their
members standing by to concur in
any action the Senate might take
yesterday, and some of them we're
on, the Senate floor. Soon after the
Taft message was read, Senator
Wherry called a truce until Monday.
