But a lot of effort will be necessary, and empties will have to be hauled for long distances, if production and pay rolls are not to be adversely af fected in the immediate future, the utilities commissioner said, For the first time in many years, Flagg said, he has men in the field, in charge of a former car service expert of the ICC, checking to see that Oregon ship pers are getting their share of available cars and that a fair distribution is being made. Recurring Problem The commissioner concluded: "This is an annually recurring problem, and there does not ap pear to be any immediate solu tion. The railroad has not been able to meet its obligation to the shippers. Its inability to do so has cost labor and employers a large sum each year for some time. This department is co-operating with the shippers in seeking a remedy, and will con tinue aggressively to do so." Elderly Texan Killed in Duel On City Street Gonzales, Tex., June 13 (U.R) An elderly rancher and a liquor store proprietor shot it out in Texas Heroes' square near the Gonzalez county courthouse and the rancher died in the duel, au thorities said today. Walter Knandel. 70. was kill ed last night by two blasts from the 12-guage shotgun of I. W. (Dutch) Hutcheson, 60, owner of the Apache liquor store on the town square. Hutcheson was wounded seri ously. Boys See Shooting Deputy Sheriff L. D. Bucha nan said two boys were the only witnesses to the shotgun duel. They told authorities that Knandel and Hutcheson met on the square about 9 p.m. and be came involved in a "hot argu ment." "The boys could not tell what the men were arguing about," Buchanan said. "Kanandel sud denly walked over to his car and got out his shotgun." The boys told Buchanan that at the same time, Hutcheson ran into his store and charged out with a gun. Firing Started "Then they started shooting," the boys said. The blasts from Hutcheson s gun struck Knandel in his left arm and shoulder. He died on the sidewalk two minutes later. Hutcheson was hit by one charge in the right leg and side. Authorities said his condition was so serious that they could not question him. Buchanan said he was unable to reach the men's families at once and was unable to learn whether the duel was the out growth of a long feud or the cli max to the brief argument.
