Until now, the 1950 car sup
ply on the S. P. has been the
best in years. 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.
