ESQ Raises Price
Of Gasoline l Cent
Most Stations
Pass Boost On
To Motorists

The ESQ Standard Oil Co. to-
day announced a cent-a-gallon
increase in the wholesale price
OF gasoline and other petroleum
products and most ESQ filling
stations Immediately passed the
increase on to the motorist.
Other refining companies with
outlets in the area said they had
not yet increased prices. In the
past most companies have fol-
lowed the lead of Standard Oil
in raising and lowering gasoline
prices.
Horace Walker, executive di-
rector of the Metropolitan Re-
tail Gasoline Dealers Associa-
ton, said the price increase was
"unwarranted and may very we'll
bring congressional investiga-
ton
Crude Price Rise
TIE Associated Press said
Standard Oil attributed the price
increase to the recent advance
in crude Oil prices resulting from
the Middle East crisis. The AS
ISOLATED Press said the increase
applied to 18 States on the East
Coast. the South and District Of
Columbia.
Standard Oil Co. of Indiana
made similar advance in prices
of all oil products throughout the
Is Midwestern States in which
it markets.
ESQ officials here said the in.
crease applied to all motor fuels,
kerosene. No. 2 heating fuel, as
well as gasoline.
Sees Oversupply
Mr. Walker said the increase
in prices is not justified because
there is an oversupply of gaso-
line.
There is no gasoline being
shipped to Europe. Crude oil is
being shipped, but that has no
bearing on the price of gasoline
when it is in overSupply." he
said.
Mr.. Walker said an increase of
06 of a cent in 1852 after three
years of price control brought a
congressional investigation. and
that recent hikes of from 2 to 3
cents a gallon might bring on
another such probe.
He said the cent-a-gallon in
crease raised ESQ prices to an
average in the area of 1923 cents
per gallon for regular, $50 for
premium and 38.9 for super-pre-
MUM gasoline.

Gore Pushing for Bon
On Potomac Draw Spons

Senator Gore. Democrat of
Tennessee. opponent of draw
spans on Potomac River bridges,
announced he will lay before the
full Senate Public Works Com
mittee next Wednesday a resolu-
ton directing the District Com
missioners to survey ways and
means of preventing the use of
draw spans on all bridges here.
His proposal was first
preached before a subcommittee
hearing during which he quizzed
j. N. Robertson. District director
of highways about both the road
program and the city's bridges.
The subcommittee is looking
into the Governments big new
highway program. Chairman
Chavez Of the full Public Works
Committee who attended the
session announced the date for
his committee to meet Wednes-
day. He agreed that the Gore
resolution could be presented to
the full committee.
Senator Gore succeeded in
blocking in the Senate a House.
passed amendment to the au-
thorized Constitution avenue
bridge which would have au-
thorized a draw span.
Mr.. Robertson in answer to
question by the Senator, said
that he understood the same
amendment. which would au-
thorize the bridge to cross Roose-
welt Island instead of crossing
the river downstream of the is
land, was being sent to Congress
for action this session.
Senator Gore said that he felt
certain river traffic could be SO
controlled that it could move in
this area without drawspans.
The traffic. particularly auto
mobile traffic crossing the river.
the Senator charged, promises
to become worse instead of bet
ter" Delay to motorists attempt
ing to reach the Nations Capital
from Virginia during the peak
traffic hour when draw spans
were up were understood to have
been one of the reasons why the
Senator blocked the Roosevelt
amendment on the closing day
Of the 84th Congress.
Senator Gore said he did not
want to be unfair to business
here using water-borne trans
portation. But he said such a
survey as his resolution would
direct had long been needed TO
help protect the thousands of
motorists who are adversely af-
fected.
But, he emphasized. his resolu-
ton would require the city heads
to survey possibilities of limiting
water borne traffic in some way
as to height above water level
and also to study the feasibility

that another Atlas Club case
growing out of the same raid
had been set for trial in Mu-
nicipal Court January II and
the Government was anxious to
go to trial.
Judge Comments
Judge Laws told Mr.. Smithson
that unless the prosecutor chal-
lenged Mr.. Mckenzie and de-
nanded a doctors certificate
Judge Laws would continue the
case. It is not customary for an
attorney to challenge the word
of fellow attorney and Mr..
Smithson did not do so.
The Government has travelled
a rocky road in both courts try
ing to get the Atlas Club cases
to trial. In Municipal Court. the

being present in an Illegal es-
Establishment was dismissed for
want of prosecution" to climax a
series of apparent misunder-
standings.

the defendants in the revived

The librarian at a branch of

wasn't sure she understood
the request. She asked the
man to repeat it.
i want a book on love let
ters," he said, in a voice heavy
with foreign accent and low
with embarrassment and shy
ness.
There was no rnistaking the
request this time. The IL
brarian, not quite certain
there was such a book on the
library's shelves, made a dill
gent search. She found books
on business letters, books on
general letters, books on let
tiers of friendship, but none
on love letters.
Still determined to help
the shy little man, she went
through the books on general
letters. At last she found one
with chapter devoted to love
letters. She handed it to the
patron, who smiled wanly
and felt an urge to explain.
He was recently arrived
from Salerno, he said, and
wanted to find in English some
terms of affection and endear-
ment to write to a new-found
love.

Rambler
Put Tax Bite
On City Cots?
BY JACK JONAS

Men of courage are needed.
Every school district would
like to raise it's teachers sal
aries, if the money could be
found.
One man of more or less
courage, but not enough to
reveal his name, has suggested
tapping a hitherto untouched
source-the thousands of cats
in the Washington area.
Nobody seems to have a
count of the feline population.
And, cats being the way they
are in the population field,
q census today would be USE
less tomorrow.
But even at 81 a head, a
tax or license fee for cats
could bolster the revenues
tremendously. Since cats are
more troublesome than dogs,
in some ways, a fee higher
than the dog license fee prob
ably could be collected.
Everybody grinned like a
Cheshire cat when such a pro-
poSal was made some years
back during a Senate District
Committee hearing, because
nobody took it seriously. Just
a couple of years ago, a similar
proposal for Prince Georges
County was hammered down
with yowls that would en-
barrass a back-fence tom.
That's why men of courage
are needed.
