Gasoline War In

With Price Cut

Raleigh 13 —A gasoline war
has just slarlc 1 i.i Raleigh. with one
of the large oil companies granting
a cash discount of three cents a gal
lon from the posted filling sattion
price, while all the other large com
panies and Independent dealers are
sticking to the posted price.
Until September 1, the gasoline
companies here were giving two
cents a gallon discount for cash, but
on that date all the companies went
to a cash price of 23 cents a gallon,
with no discount.
The independent companies main
tained a few days ago that some of
the larger company-owned filling
stations were giving a three cents a
gallon discount to its larger com
mercial customers. Some of the larger
companies claimed that they were
forced to grant this discount because
some of the independent stations
were giving a three cents a gallon
discount to their larger commercial
customers.
As a result, one of the companies
decided it would give this three cents
a gallon discount to all cash cus
tomers. individuals as well as com
mercial users. So far. the other com
panies are sticking to the higher
prices.

Retains Office
Santiago. Chile. Sept. 13. (AP)
The army air force revolted today
against the administration of Pro
visional President Carlos Davila,
threatening to bomb the presidential
palace or attack it with troops if he
refused to resign.
The revolt was led by Colonel Ar
turo Merino Benltz. frequently a
stor/n center of the air forces, and its
nucleus was at El Bosque airport, on
the. outskirts of. Santiago.
The movement started a few hours
after the cabinet resigned and Presi
dent Davila succeeded in forming a
new government.
The government closed the news
paper La Opinion because it was pub
lishing Colonel Marino's manifesto, in
Vhich he declared President Davila
avu* unpopular and had failed to fol
low the Socialist program-laid down
when a revolt and two counter-re
volts upset the government last July.
Shortly afternoon a committee
headed by Colonel MeHna called upon
President Davila demanding -his re
signation. Davila refused, and the
committee went over to the war min
istry to discuss the possibility of
ousting Senor Davila without violence
