Carter Oil Issues
Statement on
Montana Income

The preliminary report of the
Montana Trade commission in its
inquiry into gasoline pricingin the
state presents a completely mis-
leading picture of gasoline mar
keting in the state" J. M. Sprague,
Billings, vice president of the
Carter Oil Co., said today.
The reports statement, that
Lack of competition" causes high
gasoline prices in Montana" shows
an absence of knowledge of Pc
troleum marketing and the basic
principles of economics or a COM
plete disregard of such knowl-
edge" Sprague said. Proof of
competition in Montana in sale
of gasoline was made very clearly
in testimony before the commits
sion at a hearing in Helena last
May. Extensive data based on
public federal and state statistics
disclosed very clearly to the COM
mission that the cost of refining
distribution and marketing of gas
oline in Montana is substantially
higher than the average cost thru
out the u. S.
Further, it was shown that a
greater state tax and larger deal
er margins account for nearly
one-half the higher Montana gas
oline prices. Testimony under
oath pointed out that the remain
ing increased costs are due to
higher expenses of manufacture
ing, transporting and selling" The
commissions report mentions Car
ter's $30,500,000 net investment
in Montana refining and market
ing facilities. Evidence presented
to the commission was that Car
five-year average refining
marketing profits 1851 through
1855 yer less than six percent
before income taxes. In 1855 our
refining marketing earnings were
less than 2 percent and if we
had reduced the price of gasoline
one half cent a gallon we would
have made no return on our
$50, 100000 investment in Mon
Sprague observed that the OBJ
Vious fact is that Carter is not
making a big profit on its re-
and marketing operations
IN the state. He added that the
company has not violated the
avs of Montana but rather has

next to him, Neither of us had
ever been to a horse race before
so we decided to drive over and
take a look" They were Mr.. and
Mrs. Gilbert Smith and, while
they lived only 80 miles away,
this was their first visit to this
famous racetrack. Curious TO

We hadn't even seen the ocean
only a couple hundred miles
away. So we decided to make
up for lost time. We drew up a
list of things we figured everyone
should do at least once in a life
time, and one of them was seeing
a horse race"
Just then the horses were off
and the Smiths snapped their
rented binoculars to their eyes.
This may have been their first
horse race but they we're on their
feet cheering like old pros as the
horses Numbered around the
track. They said later that they
hadn't bet any money on the race
but were mighty pleased to see
a horse named Florida Tan come
in a winner. That's the next item
on our retirement list" volun-

calm anticlimax to weeks Of fam
fare.
1t was his first public speech
since his release from prison.
Protests against the appear
ance of the convicted perjurer

for in terms Of technical con-
cessions."

A query from a student during
q question period led to the
reference to the 1945 Yalta Con-
ference among the late President
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the then
British Prime Minister Winston
Churchill and the late Russian
Premier Josef Stain.
Mr.. Hiss, then a high-ranking
State Department official, was an
adviser to MIR. Roosevelt at Yalta.
Five years later-in 1950-Mr.
Hiss was convicted in New York
on perjury charges for denying
before a Federal grand jury that
he passed out State Department
