JACK KLECK Agricultural Tillage Service Route 8 Box 526 PHOENIX, ARIZONA i THE COOUDOE EXAMINER New Tests For Gas i New Development In Motor Fuels According to Richfield engineers one of the most exhaustive tests I ever made of car and gasoline per formance was completed over a period of 65 days in the Coachella Valley where 16 gasolines were tested in 92 per cent of the types cars on the road today. This re search, according to its director, Larry Grunder, has antiquated former laboratory testing methods by proving a fuel’s value in cars identical in type and condition to the motorists. According to Grunder laboratory tests on octane rating may not be at all indicative of a gasoline’s road performance. He says, “We found some gasolines excel in city driving but fall short of perfection at high speeds; on others and re verse is true. Our research was : directed towards a gasoline that j performed equally well for city and highway driving. We found this in our test gasoline Number 8 which is now the New-Time Hi- Octane.’’ o “As it Appears To Your Congressman” By John R. Murdock After a few months’ trial of the Wage and Hour Law of 1938. min ing men as well as farmers of Arizona are still vitally interested in its provisions and its applica tions, and an effort is now being made to amend it. Perhaps the amended measure will be before the House Monday, May 15. I re call that I worked desperately last year to get mining in isolated com munities and some other industries exempted from the operation of this proposed law, and I thought the final enactment did afford sufficient of the situation equitably for the administrative leeway to take care small mines of Arizona. I recall last summer having said to several mining men in the State that it was my individual opinion that con tracts or arrangements could be made, within the present law, be tween employees and employers, to continue to provide miners em ployment for the same per week Dr. R.

Wage cutting is not to be tolerat ed because of this act, but wage rates might be adjusted op the books, within., this law- in my opinion, and It could be justified in some cases, if there was no reduc- i tlon in the total wages paid labor ers. I had a talk a day or two ago with Mr. Andrews, the admin- j istrator, and found him sympathetic toward the problems miners and \ employers operating small mines in i isolated communities. Therefore 1 believe that adjustments are ahead, either by change in the law itself, or by administrative rulings. These things we are trying so make t the law itself clear and permit no real wage reduction nor less em ployment. The Flood Control Bill for this session was before the House on THE COOLIDGE DAIRY H.

The Flood Control bloc at first demand ed $195,000,000 recommended by the army engineers, but later thought it wise to ask for only $50,000,000 additional, if it had to be amended on the floor of the house. The leadership refused to ! accept the reduced amendment and ; agreod instead that it would be ! suggested to the President that $50,000,000 in .the next relief ap i propriation should be earmarked for flood control. The Committee adopted amendments totaling $50.- *OOO,OOO. In this bill $4,000,000 are provided to enable the engineers ( to conduct further surveys. Os j course the next big study needed in Arizona is a survey of the en tire Gila watershed and its possi bilities as one unit. Another matter that gives me r - pleasure and satisfaction is that the Ways and Committee, I am told, will report favorably niy bill, HR 898, which will grant relief to some distressed tax payers wh.o are belated with then social security tax. My measure pertained this time to the tax for 1937 only, but the Committee bid again, as last year,— they made it broader than my bill proposed. It is to apply to th e years 1936, 1937, and 1938.
