April Gasoline Sales Show 10 Percent Climb April gasoline sales in Oregon totaled 41,407,652 gallons, a 10 per cent climb over sales of the pre ceding month, Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry reported today. April sales a year ago totaled 40,852,055, according to the secre tary of state's gasoline tax division records. Gross taxes for the month were $2,484,584 89, a jump of approxi mately $442,000 over collections for the same month last year. Most of the gain is the result of the one cent per gallon tax increase which took effect last July 1, Newbry said. Auto Accident Increase During First 4 Months Oregon automobile accidents have claimed just over five lives for each 100 million miles of driv ing in the first four months of this year, Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry reported today. Newbry said the figure is based on the average mileage death rate for the months of January through April, computed from total traffic fatalities and motor vehicle mile- aee as estimated from gasoline sales for the period. The four month death rate is 5.1, compared with 6.3 for the entire year of 1349. Although total deaths were high er than those recorded in the first four months of last year, motor vehicle travel increased even more to bring about a reduction in the mileage death rate. April travel is estimated at ap proximately 492 million miles, highest yet recorded during that month. Twenty-one persons died In traffic accidents. Agriculture Department Announces Wool Price The U. S. Department of Agri culture has announced price sched ules for buying and selling wool under the 1950 support program. As yet, no wool has been pur chased under the 1950 program and very little wool purchased by the Commodity Credit corporation in the recent past remain in CCC stocks. The announced national average support level is 45.2 cents per pound, in the grease, which is 90 percent of parity. The Agricultural act of 1949 requires that wool be supported at levels between 60 and 90 percent of parity. In general, shorn wool selling prices for the higher grades are in line with recent market prices for these grades and prices for the lower grades run about five cents per pound clean basis over the purchase prices.
