DEEP INVESTIGATION OF
GASOLINE PRICES MADE
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5 The sweep
ing scope of the gasoline price invest
igation by the special senate commit
tee was revealed today by Senator
McNary, Oregon, as he announced
hearings would be started Monday.
Five phases of the present situa
tion, in which the country has a record-breaking
reserve of gasoline with
sky-high prices, will be investigated.
According to McNary these are:
1 Whether there exists unfair com
petition or monopoly in the industry.
2 Whether the fluctuations in ex
ports and imports have had a mater
ial effect on domestic prices.
3 Whether increased transporta
tion costs, including installation of
new pipe lines, have caused the re-
cent "skyrocketing."
4 What is the present rate of con
sumption, which producers claim has
increased enormously during the past
few weeks.
5 Whether the portage of coal, due
to the nationwide mine strike has, by
creating new demands for fuel oil,
had any effect in the price boosting.

Banks of Lorraine
And Alsace Suspend
German Payments
PARIS, Aug. 5. Measures of retali
ation against Germany for failure to
promise payment of $10,000,000 in pre
war commercial debts were taken at
noon today. .
The government ordered the banks
of Alsace and Lorraine to suspend
payments to German depositors.
Threats to seize and operate the
coal and iron mines of the Rhineland
and to make the disputed territory an
autonomous state have not material
ized. The installment on the debt is due
August 15 and Germany was given
until noon today to state whether or
not the obligation would be met.
