Motor Club Calls for Probe Into Gas Distribution
The Carolina Motor Club led by Cole man W. Roberts urges President Roosevelt’s Attorney General to investigate alleged treason tied to gasoline production and distribution in the Carolinas. The group proposes a gasoline director akin to the existing rubber director to curb back and forth trucking and inflated charges. It cites tariffs, subsidies, and wasteful hauling across Charleston and Wilmington as evidence of discrimination and calls for citizen involvement in the inquiry.
