GASOLINE WAR STARTS HERE Oil, Gasoline And Alcohol Prices Are Cut By Several Local Dealers A price war among gasoline salesmen has started in Decatur and local automobile owners are getting the advantage cf price cuts in gasoline, oil and alcohol.

Oil is selling at the various stations from 20 cents a quart to 25 cents a quart and as low as 75 cents a gallon. Radiator alcohol is selling from 75 cents a gallon to SI.OO a gallon. The various filling station proprietors did not indicate how long the price reduction would last.

LARGE CROWDS GREET HOOVER (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE» home of Jose Rossiter prominent German merchant, as a guest of Foreign Minister Augusto Coello who greeted Hoover on behalf of the President of II nduras, Miguel Paz Baraona. After being presented with the key to the city. Hoover spoke of the perpetuation of peace as a mutual ideal of the North and South American continents. "The blood of'our forefathers pledges us to this common purpose." Hoover said. Friendly relations were sought, he said, through the peoples themselves as well as through the government. The Hoover party left Amapala for La Union at 2:30 P. M. embarking in launches that met choppy seas in the bay. The passage became extremely rough. The Launches finally reached La Union at 4 o'clock. Heavy seas threatened to prevent the party from landing for a time and the boats were jockeyed twenty minutes before Hoover was able to set foot on the gang-

way. He narrowly missed being thrown I into the water when a big wave swept under the launch. Members of Salavador's cabinet officially welcomed Ho aver. The plane to go to the main section of La Union, two miles away, was abandoned because of the late hour. An official dinner was given nt the Railway House, attended by Hoover and others of his party and by the Cabinet members and local authorities. Emphasizing the message he delivered in his Amapala speech earlier in the day, Hoover said: "I have already stated today that my purpose is to pay a call of friendship on behalf of the United States. Relation between neighbors requires that nothing should be omitted to build up these contacts and that sentiment which creates understanding, out of such understanding comes mutual respect. The foundation of all sound International relations." o COAL! COAL!
