Coercion Laid
To30iI Firms
By the Associated Press

A Government hearing exam
iner has ruled that three big
oil companies have Illegally
coerced "a substantial number
of service stations to handle
particular brands of tires, bat
teries and accessories.
Examiner Earl ]. Kolb rec.
commended yesterday that the
Federal Trade Commission pro-
hibit the companies from en-
gaging in the alleged unfair
methods of competition.
The three companies are
Texaco. Inc, and Shell Oil Co.
both of New York, and the AT.
lantic Refining Co., Philadel-
phia.
Mr.. Kolb said these firms
used coercion to get their deal
ers to buy tires, batteries and
accessories from three major
tire manufacturers. He said
that in return the oil producers
received either a 71a or 10 per
cent commission from the tire
makers.
The examiners decision is
not final. 1t may be stayed,
reviewed or heard on appeal by
the full commission.
Mr.. Kolb dismissed charges
that the fire companies took
part in coercive practices. He
said there was no evidence of
this and added that their pay
mentS to the oil companies
were based upon substantial
services rendered"
The original complaint, is
sued in 1856, said Texaco dealt
with the B. F. Goodrich Co.
and the Firestone Tire & Rub
ber Co.. both of Akron, Ohio.
1t said Shell had an arrange
ment with Firestone and with
the Goodyear Tire g. Rubber
Co., also Of Akron, while At
lantic dealt with Goodyear and
Firestone.

Father of 8
Slain After
Suicide Talk

A Burke, Va, man was killed
by a blast from his own shot
gun last night Just after a
Fairfax County policeman
thought he had talked him out
of committing suicide, police
reported.
Joseph Calvin Jerman, 80,
father of eight children, was
pronounced dead at the scene.
The blast struck him in the
head. Police say they are I'M
certain the gun was fired acci-
dentally or Intentionally.
Police Pvt. Franklin l.. An
gelo, who had known Mr.. Jer-
man about five years. said Mr..
Jerman tagged him down near
Silas Burke and Key Mill roads
IN the Burke Heights subdivi-
sion as the policeman was driv-
ing HON with his 1l-year-old
son.
Had Been Drinking
He said Mr.. Jerman, who was
driving truck in which he de-
livered cord wood. told him he
was detected over not making
enough money, and had de-
cided to shoot himself.
Pvt. Angelo said Mr.. Jerman
had been drinking and on pre-
vious occasions had threatened
to kill himself because Of
dependency.
The policeman said he
thought he had talked the man
out Of shooting himself by re-
minding Mr.. Jerman Of his
wife, Edith. and their eight
children. He said he told Mr..
Jermsn to go home and thought
that was what he was going
to do.
Pvt. Angelo said he got back
in his car and had driven a
short distance when he heard
the shotgun blast.
Accident Is Probed
Police said Mrs. Jerman told
them her husband had been
drinking since last Wednesday.
and had been talking about
suicide since that time.
However. police are investi-
eating the possibility that the
shotgun was discharged ac~
lcidentally and a death ceYtifi-
cate is being withheld until
that determination has been
maed, Police Chief William
