NEVER dry
POLLS, all the rage now-a-days,
show the public is
cheerfully unanimous about
disagreeing. So, it's certain that
if we conducted a poll on the
greatest service performed by
our service stations some would
say "rest rooms," some "free
air," and others a variety of
things.
The right answer is simply
that they sell gasoline. Perhaps
the greatest accomplishment of
the oil industry has been mak
ing it possible for millions of
motorists to go millions of
places with no more worry
about fuel and lubricants than
about the air they breathe.
The other day one of our
executives pulled in at a desert
station. It was 75 miles to the
next dot on the map. Naturally,
other motorists thought noth
ing about it, but our man asked
where the gasoline came from.
It was trucked in more than
500 miles.
Yet that station never runs
dry . . . come blizzards, sand
storms or blazing desert tem
peratures. The same thing is
true of 408,000 other gasoline
service outlets in the United
States. Wherever you go, you
can assume that stations will be
there and that supplies will
be on hand. That, messires, is

AMERICA PLEDGED
10 AID ALLIES IS
SEN. HOLTS CLAIM
Southern
tithern Democrat Says
Only Reason for Congress
Session Is to Aid Allies
Washimtnn. Oct. 18 (AP
Senator Holt (D.-W.Va.) charged
in the senate today that Presi
dent Roosevelt had pledged this
country to aid England and
France in an "attempt to slop
the dictators by force."
"The only reason we are in
session and there is no use try
ing to fool the people is to help
England and France to beat Ger
many." Holt shouted. as he
pounded his de?k for emphasis.
Holt agreed with Senator Hol-
man (R.-Ore.) that if German
sub marine attacks continued
their recent successes thai con
gress might be called into spe
cial session again to revise neu
trality laws to permit direct
shipments to England and
France.
May Need New Change.
The Oregon senator had in
terrupted to observe Germany
had scored some "remarkable
successes" in the sinking of a
British airplane carrier and a
batleship. He suggested if Brit
ain and France fail to have na
val supremacy to obtain war
supplies here, congress would be
asked to change neutrality legis
lation again.
"In other words, should the
one policy blow heat and blow
cold as the tide of battle flows
in Europe?" Holman asked
Holt said he thought if the
tide appeared to be turning to
ward Germany, administration
supporters would want congress
to remain in session continu
ously so the neutrality law could
be changed on short notice,
Agree on Change.
A group of Democrats on the
senate foreign relations commit
tee agreed in principle on a
plan to relax controversial ship
ping provisions of the adminis
tration's neutrality bill.
The proposal, offered by Sena
tor Connally (D.-Tex.) would
authorize American vessels to
carry all goods except arms to
belligerent ports in South Amer
ica, the Pacific ocean, the China
sea, the Indian ocean the Bay of
Bengal and the Arabian sea.
Conally told reporters a final
agreement had not been reach
ed. A group of Democrats would
work on details at an afternoon
session, he said.
